But it was the boxfish (盒子鱼)that interested them. “We were surprised when this clum
8、sylooking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空气动力学的)car”，says Thomas Weber. He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler. An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency. The boxfish may look clumsy， but it can start， stop，back up and zi

Like the fish， the car is fast and drives easily. Its efficient too. The science behind natureinspired inventions is called bio
10、mimicry (生物仿生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As cofounder of the Biomimicry Guild， she has worked with cereal companies，sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Natures best ideas. This month，the Natures 100 Best List will be revealed at the World Conservation Cong

Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off，carrying dirt along with them. Nature has done billions of years of research. Only the be
13、stdesigned products have survived. Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that hard work，says Benyus. For scientists and inventors， the possibilities for copying nature are limitless. Technology may never be as efficient as nature， or as colorful. But that doesnt mean we should stop trying to le

20、 Best List.BIf cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen， beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia， based in Woburn， Massachusetts， says it plans to deliver its carplane， the Transition， to customers by the end of 2012.“Its the next wow vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard
21、Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari， but as we say， Ferraris dont fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than
22、 a car that flies， although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations， and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper w
23、ay to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports： You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land， you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to
24、 store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home.The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds， including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under
25、 bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transitions price tag： $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio， transponder or GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation， it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh

30、平安安。”此题很容易错选送行时的常用语：have a nice trip。但要去的地方是利比亚，一个充满动乱、很危险的地方，因此他(她)不可能是去游玩享乐的，因此A、C两项都不恰当。后者在送行时最应该说的是祝前者在利比亚平平安安。2C考查介词短语搭配。句意：火车以每小时120公里的速度行驶。在表达“以的速度”时候应用at a/the speed of。3C考查非谓语动词。句意：要说出来真的很令人害羞，但是在会上受到老板责问时我说谎了。 “when分词”作状语，question为及物动词，意为“对提出疑问”，故应用过去分词形式表示其与主语之间有被动含义。4D考查状语从句的省略。句意：当问到当今最
31、大的问题之一时，许多人说正面临能源危机，并且它也正威胁着人类的生存。D项在此处表被动，相当于when they are asked。5C考查动词短语辨析。句意：在医科大学学习了五年后，简在乡村从事医生的工作。take up意为“从事”，可根据as a doctor判断。6D考查名词辨析。句意：他脸上的表情向我表明他生气了。impression “印象，印记”；appearance “外貌，露面”；expression “神色，表情，表达”，此处是指他脸上的表情。7B考查非谓语动词。句意：托尼既惊讶又高兴，站起来接受了这个奖项。分析句子结构以及and后的并列词happy可以看出，此处是需要形容词
32、作状语，说明主语托尼目前的心理状态。8A考查非谓语动词。句意：大部分被邀请参加聚会的艺术家来自南非。此处是过去分词作后置定语，表示完成和被动。这里艺术家是被邀请的，故用invited。9D考查连词。句意：格拉斯哥的生活花销在英国是最低的，但是生活的质量可能是最高的之一。根据句中的among the lowest in Britain和probably one of the highest可知前后的意义存在对比，while用作并列连词，可用于对比的情况，意为“而，但是”。10B考查名词性从句与强调句式。句意：不是你所说的而是你所做的让我生气。本文第一空为与not what you said并列的
33、主语从句；第二空为强调句的that，强调并列的主语从句not what you said but what you did。11A考查动词短语辨析。句意：充足的蔬菜和水果会加快你的康复。speed up加快，加速；sweep up打扫；put up举起，张贴，建起。12A考查介词短语搭配。句意：一瞬间，他想到了曾让他伤心的爱。for an instant 瞬间。13C考查consider的用法。句意：你知道是谁被认为发明了电话吗？由于consider表示“考虑，打算”，其后接动名词，本题易误选A或B。但是这里的consider“认为”用作被动语态，其后应是补充说明who的。由于invent的动
34、作在consider之前发生，故应用不定式的完成式。14A考查动词的时态。句意：我们很久未收到戴安娜的来信了。你认为她会发生什么事呢？ happen后接to，此题应用现在完成时态表示与现在有关的情况。本题是一特殊句型，为双重疑问句，做题时也可把do you think看作插入成分。15C考查冠词用法。句意：从一万米高的地方跳出飞机是一次非常令人兴奋的经历。前一空格中不定冠词与可数名词单数形式连用表示类别；因本题中experience被exciting修饰，表示“一次经历”，其前应该用不定冠词。.A本文为科普说明文，主要介绍在生物仿生学上的一些运用实例。16D细节理解题。根据最后一段可推断大自然
35、是开发技术的源泉，故选D。A项不符合A company in Atlanta, US, developed a selfcleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花) leaf；B项不符合In Zimbabwe, a country in southern Africa, engineers designed energyefficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆)；C项文章未提及。17C细节理解题。选项中A、B、D三项均符合第三段The boxfish may look clumsy, but
36、it can start, stop, back up and zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimlers bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fishs boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system.唯有C项不符合文意，故选C。18C细节理解题。根据第一段When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energyefficie
37、nt car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks.可判断选C。19B推理判断题。本文主要介绍在生物仿生学上的一些运用实例，从而说明大自然是开发技术的源泉。A、C和D三项都符合生物仿生的道理，而B项无法从文中推断出来，故选B。20B主旨大意题。本文先是介绍生物仿生学的一些实际应用，而后在最后一段深化主题：大自然已经激发了很多发明，但我们仍需继续向大自然学习，故选B。B本文为说明文，主要介绍2012年末即将上市的一种汽车飞机的性能、特点与价格等。21B细节理解题。根据第一段The compa
38、ny Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.可知选B。22B细节理解题。根据第三段The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving.可判断选B。23C细节理解题。C项不符合The carpl
39、ane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.可判断选C。24D词义猜测题。根据Another option is a fullplane parachute.和“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.的过渡关系，再结合句中的“a very awful situation”可推断it应指降落伞，故选D。25A主旨大意题。综合全文可知，全文主要介绍2012年末即将上市的汽车飞机的性能、特点与价格等，由此判断选A。高考资源网版权所有，侵权必究！
