19、e, an 11-year-old girl from Zimbabwe, is regarded as a hero for saving a 9-year-old friend from the jaws of a crocodile by jumping on the crocodile and gouging (挖) its eyes out. According to Zimbabwean media, Rebecca and her friends had just got back from a swim in a stream near their home village w
20、hen they heard the screams corning from the water. She was shocked to see her 9-year-old friend Latoya Muwani being dragged into the water by a crocodile. While all the other children were running scared, Rebecca ran toward the water, jumped on top of the crocodile and started beating it with her ba
21、re fists. However, that didnt seem to bother the crocodile at all, so she then used her fingers to gouge its eyes out until it loosened its grasp of Latoya. Once she was free, Rebecca swam with her to the bank. Surprisingly, the 11-year-old heroine managed to save her young friend without suffering
22、any wounds, while Latoya was lucky to escape with just mild wounds that were later treated at a regional hospital. Latoyas parents praised Rebeccas courage and thanked her for saving their daughter s life. “I was at work when I learnt that my daughter had been attacked by a crocodile while swimming.
23、 For a moment I thought of the worst before I learnt that she d survived after being saved by Rebecca,” Latoyas father, Fortune Muwani, said. “I dont know how she managed to do that, but Im grateful to her.” Local authorities confirmed the crocodile attack, adding that the number of such incidents w
24、as increasing. Apparently, the lack of easily accessible water sources is forcing women and children to use unprotected sources like this crocodile-infested (遍布鳄鱼的) stream. 24. What made Rebecca Munkombwe a hero? A. Her catching a crocodile hare-handed. B. Her rescuing a drowning friend in time. C.
25、Her helping a friend out of deadly danger. D. Her making friends with a wild crocodile. 25. Which of the following words can best describe Rebecca? A. Brave and smart. B. Calm and careful. C. Honest and considerate. D. Courageous and patient. 26. What message do Fortune Muwanis words convey? A. He k
26、new every detail about the rescuing process. B. Latoyas conditions were far better than expected. C. Latoyas being attacked by a crocodile sounded unbelievable. D. He regretted not accompanying Latoya while she was swimming. 27. Why were crocodile attacks on the rise? A. Because people have poor awa
27、reness of safety. B. Because people enjoy getting close to animals in the wild. C. Because people have little knowledge of accessible water sources. D. Because people have to share limited water sources with wild animals. C C Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university
28、can be good for families, leading to closer, more supportive relationships and increased contact between the generations, a study has found. The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents quality of li
29、fe and wellbeing. The young adults taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected” about moving back home the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents financial and emotional support. Daughter
30、s were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found. Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates tod
31、ay, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities. The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students a
32、nd then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder. “However,” the study says, “day-to-day tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to co
33、nflict, characterized the experience of a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates”. Areas of divergence included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to sup
34、port their adult children allowed them to remain close. 28What is the finding of the previous research? ABoomerang children made their parents happier. BThe parents were looking forward to their children s return. C The parents quality of life became worse than before. DBoomerang children never did
35、any housework. 29What are college graduates attitudes towards returning home? AThey are ashamed of turning to their parents for help. BThey are glad that they could come back. CThey are doubtful about whether they should return. DThey are proud to be independent from the family. 30What is the reason
36、 for the “boomerang children” phenomenon? AThe children want to keep in closer touch with their parents. BThe parents want to provide support to their children. CIt is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job. DThere is more housework needed to be done by the children. 31. The underlined w
37、ord “divergence” in paragraph 7 may be best replaced by _. A. disagreement B. harmony C. responsibility D. cooperation D A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integ
38、rated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual
39、 components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those comp
40、onents are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said. They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually
41、 has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and m
42、anufactured. While this first robotic fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to tak
43、e off, land and fly around,” he said. Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific qu
44、estions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.” 32Which of the following statements was
45、 the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly? AThey did not have sufficient fund. BNo ready-made components were available. CThere was no model in their mind. DIt was hard for them to assemble the components. 33What do we know about the robotic fly? AThe robotic fly has been put into w
46、ide application. BThe robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system. CThe robotic fly can collect information from many sources. DThe robotic fly can fly well with the cooperation of individual components. 34Which of the following can be learned from the passage? AThe robotic fly can
47、replace animals in some experiments. BAnimals are not allowed in biological experiments. CThe robotic fly is designed to learn about insects. DThere used to be few ways to study how insects fly. 35Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? AThe Development of Robotic Fly BRobotic

49、fessor of educational psychology in Japan says, “We know we shouldn t give up when we failbut in reality, we do.” Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issues 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. _37_ Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant fe
