From robotic hands to high-speed running boots, Sansone has worked on at least sixty engineering proje
8、cts to date in his spare time. And hes only 17 years old.A couple years ago, Sansone came across a video about the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars. It explains that most electric car engines use rare-earth elements, which are costly, both financially and environmentally. In fact, 1kg o
9、f the rare-earth materials in question can cost up to several hundred dollars. With that sustainability issue, he wanted to solve it, so he tried and designed a different motor (发动机). His new motor, on the other hand, uses copper, which costs around $8 for 1kg.The highschooler had heard of a type of
10、 electric motor the Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SRM同步磁阻电动机) that doesnt use these rare-earth materials. This kind of motor is currently used for pumps and fans, but it isnt powerful enough by itself to be used in an electric vehicle. So, Sansone started brainstorming ways he could improve its perf
11、ormance.For over a year Sansone worked on the motor. It needed to be more efficient and have more rotational (旋转) force. The new motor was made from 3-D printed plastic, copper wires and a steel rotor and tested using a variety of meters to measure power. Sansone is now working on version 16 of his
12、motor, which he plans to build out of stronger materials so he can test it at higher revolutions per minute.As a rising senior, Sansone has dreamed of attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His winnings from competitions will go toward college tuition. If his motor continues to perfo
13、rm with high speed and efficiency, he says hell move forward and cooperate with car companies. He hopes that one day his motor will be the design of choice for electric vehicles.4What is the authors purpose in writing paragraph 2?ATo explain the use of electric car engines.BTo stress the cost of the
14、 rare-earth materials.CTo introduce a video of previous electric cars.DTo show Sansones inspiration for his new motor.5Which aspect does Sansone mainly want to improve in SRM?AIts cost.BIts size.CIts power.DIts weight.6What can we learn from the last paragraph?AHe is studying in the MIT.BHe aims hig
15、h for his motor.CHe has started a motor company.DHe will enter a new competition.7Which of the following best describes Robert Sansone?AGifted and determined.BCaring and outgoing.CHumorous and energetic.DGenerous and hard-working.Historians are often asked to examine the actions of our ancestors so
16、we can repeat their wisdom and avoid their mistakes. But the present is just too different from the past. It is a waste of time to study Hannibals strategies in the Second Punic War so as to copy them in the Third World War. What worked well in cavalry battles will not necessarily be beneficial in c
17、yber war. Studying history aims to loosen (松开) the hold of the past.A young couple building a new home may ask the architect for a nice lawn (草坪) in the front yard. Why a lawn? “Because lawns are beautiful,” the couple might explain. But why do they think so?The idea of growing a lawn at the entranc
18、e to private houses and public buildings was born in the castles of French and English aristocrats in the late Middle Ages. Well-kept lawns demanded land and a lot of work. In exchange, they produced nothing of value. The neat grass at the entrance to castles was a social position symbol nobody coul
19、d pretend to have. Later the new parliaments (议会), supreme courts, presidential residences increasingly showed their power in row upon row of neat green grass. Humans came to identify lawns with political power, social position and economic wealth.When you now come to plan your dream house, you migh
20、t think twice about having a lawn in the front yard. You are of course still free to do it. But you are also free to shake off the cultural cargo given to you by the upper class. This is the best reason to learn history: not in order to guess the future, but to free yourself of the past and imagine
21、different lives. Of course this is not total freedom we cannot avoid being shaped by the past. But some freedom is better than none.8Why does the author mention Hannibal and cavalry battles in paragraph 1?ATo illustrate why future cyber war is difficult.BTo highlight how important historical warfare
22、 is.CTo show that past experience may not suit the present.DTo explain what strategies historical figures developed.9What does the author believe is the real reason for growing a lawn?AIts connection with power and wealth.BIts high maintenance requirements.CIts origin from European castles.DIts outs
23、tanding natural beauty.10What do the underlined words “cultural cargo” in the last paragraph refer to?ACultural mistakes.BCultural standards.CHistorical buildings.DHistorical knowledge.11According to the author, studying history is to _.Aguess events in the futureBrepeat wise decisionsCunderstand cu
24、ltural changesDreduce the control from the pastThe first hibernation (冬眠) studies with human subjects could be workable within a decade, a European Space Agency (ESA) researcher thinks. Such experiments would make it possible for a science-fiction-like approach to long-time space missions that would
25、 see astronauts placed into protective sleep for weeks or months on their way to faraway destinations.Experiments have shown that its possible to cause hibernation in otherwise non-hibernating animals, such as rats, and bring them safely back to life a few days later. “The rats receive a drug, a neu
26、rotransmitter substance (神经递质), and are brought into a dark space with reduced temperature,” Jurgen Bereiter-Hahn, a member of ESAs hibernation research group said. “It works very nicely, but the problem is that you have to apply the drug repeatedly to maintain the state, which could have damaging e
27、ffects over the longer term.”The hibernating astronaut would not only save the agency cost for water, food and oxygen. Astronauts would, most likely, wake up rather fit, without suffering many of the negative side effects of long-term bed rest or living in microgravity. In fact, studies show that th
28、e slowed down cells of a hibernating body dont get damaged by radiation (辐射). Besides, research in animals suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose much less bone and muscle mass than the bodies of those awake in microgravity. Upon arrival, these hibernators would thus be fit and re
29、ady to start challenging exploration almost straight away after regaining awareness.These protective qualities make hibernation a possibility not just for spaceflight, but also for medicine. Just like astronauts in microgravity, patients in long-term bed rest waste away quickly. Slowing life process
30、es to a minimum would provide what scientists call a “bridge”, a period of time that would allow physicians to look for solutions without racing against the clock. Although most current hibernation research is funded by space agencies, scientists think that the first human to be put into this state
31、of hibernation will most likely be an ICU patient. Once the first human survives and benefits from hibernation, things will likely start moving forward much faster.12According to paragraph 1, what do the hibernation studies mainly aim to do?AImprove sleep quality in space.BInvestigate hibernation my

One day, when. she needs financial advice, heres what Ill tell her.It is easy to assume that wealth an
35、d poverty (贫困) are caused by the choices we make, but chance plays a bigger role than most people want to admit. 16 But realize not all success is due to hard work, and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.Everything has a price. The price of
36、a busy job is time away from friends and family. The price of spoiling (宠溺) kids is their sheltered life. Most of those prices are hidden. 17 Accepting this, youll view things like time and relationships as valuable as cash.I believe the highest benefit of money is the ability to control your time.
37、Being able to do what you want, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want, provides a lasting happiness greater than any fancy things can offer. 18 Having enough savings to give you time and options never gets old. 19 You have more control over it than your income.
