Plan your visit the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New G
14、uinea(巴布亚新几内亚) alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction, with only a few elderly speakers left.
15、Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question- mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 28What can we infer about languages in hunter- gather

18、ion. 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 integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat house fly. Its min
19、i 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 components(组件)”, said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly pr
20、oject 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 components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own. he said. They engineered (策划) a ser
21、ies 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 has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The f
22、light 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 manufactured. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off- board power source, the goal is
23、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 take off, land and fly around,” he said. Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechan
24、ics (飞行力学) 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 questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but
25、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.” 32. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met with while making the robotic fly? A. They did not have
26、adequate fund. B. No ready- made components were available. C. There was no model in their mind. D. It was hard for them to fit the components together. 33. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application. B. The robotic fly consists of a flight de
27、vice and a control system. C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly. D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present. 34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A. Woods design can replace animals in some experiments. B. Animals are not allowe

Actually I think low self- confidenc
30、e is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful. It prevents performance by including fear, worry, and stress, which may drive people to give up sooner or later. 36 . If your confidence is low, rather than extremely low, you stand a better chance of succeeding
31、than if you have high self- confidence. 37 . Therefore, you will be self- critical. Most people get trapped in their optimistic prejudice, so they tend to listen to positive feedback(反馈)and ignore negative feedback. Although this may help them come across as being confident to others, in any area of
32、 competition an achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation. 38 . Lower self- confidence can get you to work harder and prepare more. If you are careful about your goals, you will work harder when you lack confidence in your abilities. 39 , low confidence is negative. If you really want to do
33、 what you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it because it will make you know the distance to the goals. Lower self- confidence reduces the possibilities of pride and disappointment. 40 , they are more likely to admit mistakes instead of blaming others. This is the m
34、ost important benefit of low self- confidence because it points to the fact that low self- confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society. A. Actually when you are careless about your goals B. Lower self- confidence makes you focus on negative feedback C.
35、 So low confidence can only prevent you from succeeding D. Thus, the more you know weaknesses, the better prepared you will be E. But appropriate low confidence helps you adjust your goals to complete F. Indeed, if people have low self- confidence G. Then if you care about your inability very much 第
