A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start _5_ (pierce) together the components. “The _6_ (add) 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,”
5、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 devices, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well,” said Wood. The flight device _7_(build) into a set of pow

Wood says the success of the project proves that the _8_ (fly) 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 eventually _9_ (equip) it with a built-

49、一些事实证明男人并不总是比女人更强壮更快。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Women are less strong than men.(女人不如男人强壮)”可知，女人被称为弱者，因为人们认为女人比男人弱。故选B。【37题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.

They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To s
54、ome observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders
55、of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including a
56、ll women. All businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese
57、firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some people to argue th

In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The difference the
59、n is probably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on
60、to the employees and that employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means
61、 adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.40. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers41. Which of the following is NOT th
62、e reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. They dont want to lose their retirement benefits.B. They are not adaptable people.C. Any change of jobs will make them less paid.D. They get used to the teamwork.42. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. those who want to change jobs freque

What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely h
64、ard situation during recessions.B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.【答案】40.

65、节理解题。根据第二段中“In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women.(首先，并不是每个日本工人都有终身工作的保证。 终身雇佣制只包括“正式雇员”。许多员工并不属于这一类，包括所有女性)”可知，日本女性无法得到一份终
66、身工作。故选A。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.(大多数退
67、休福利来自雇主。换工作意味着失去这些好处。同时，团队合作也是日本生产的重要组成部分。搬到新公司意味着要适应不同的团队，至少暂时会降低生产率和工资)”可知，B选项“他们不是适应力强的人”不是日本工人留在一家公司的原因。故选B。【42题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, team
68、work is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.(不要频繁跳槽也有一些实际的原因。大多数退休福利来自雇主。换工作意味着失去这些好处。同时，团队合作也是日本生产的重要组成部分。搬到新公司意味着要适应不同的团队，至少暂时会降低生产率和工资)”可推知，那些想在日本频繁换工作的人应该三思。故选A。【43题详解】主旨大意题。根
69、据第一段中“In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots.(在日本，许多大公司的工人都有终身雇佣的保证。在经济衰退或他们的工作被机器人接手时，他们不会被解雇)”结合文章主要说明了在日本，许多大公司的工人都有终身雇佣的保证，列举了人们对此的不同看法，详细说明了日本终身雇佣制度
70、的一些特点。可知，文章主要讨论了日本终身雇佣的特点。故选D。CThe question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isnt an either / or one, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields ca
