I was standing near a shop with my friend as he lit his cigarette when an old woman begga

At that moment, one of our friends called us over as our group was at the front of the queue.We had to hurry so my friend crushed his cigarette with his shoes. _18_ we were hurrying over, I overheard the woman beggar say “
9、these young men will burn more than one rupee for their bad _19_， but theyll never give that rupee to a hungry person.” I paid no attention to her and _20_ hurrying over. However once I was inside the temple, her remark _21_ in my ears. I began wondering if there was some truth to what she had said.
10、 When I came back outside, I saw the old woman _22_ standing near the shop. So I gave two rupees to her. Later that day, as we were returning to our hotel we _23_ the old woman having her lunch by the road. She was also feeding a little girl in a dirty dress. I asked her who that girl was. She repli

14、ineers in Germany wanted to build a more energyefficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks. But it was the boxfish (盒子鱼)that interested them. “We were surprised when this clumsylooking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空气动力学的)car”，says Thom
15、as 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 zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly lit
16、tle energy. Daimlers bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fishs boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system. Like the fish, the car is fast and drives easily. Its efficient too. The science behind natureinspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As cofounder of the
17、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 Congress (代表大会)in Barcelona，Spain. Benyus coauthored the list of natureinspired designs
18、 with economist Gunter Pauli. In Zimbabwe，a country in southern Africa，engineers designed energyefficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆). The buildings use vents (孔) to keep the air flowing and the temperature cool. A company in Atlanta，US，developed a selfcleaning paint modeled on the
19、lotus (荷花)leaf. When the paint dries，it becomes bumpy (不平的)，just like the lotus leaf. Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off，carrying dirt along with them. Nature has done billions of years of research. Only the bestdesigned products have survived. Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that
20、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 learn from the world around us. Take a walk outside. Watch a squirrel climb up a tree
21、. Look closely at the veins (纹理)of a leaf. Hear the birds chirping in the trees. Such small details may help solve big problems in the future.28Which is TRUE according to the passage? AIn America a selfcleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower. BZimbabwe engineers learned from termites to creat
22、e highly advanced heating systems. CAfter the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature. DNature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.29The clumsylooking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons EXCEPT that_. Ait swims using little en
23、ergy Bbeing boxy, it looks quite like a car Csome engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water Dit is a speedy swimmer30Why did top engineers in Germany go to the natural history museum? AThey wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely. BThey wanted to carr
24、y out a research of boxfish and dolphins. CThey wanted to search for a model to base on for building a moreefficient car. DThey wanted to study the science of survival.31We can infer all of the following from the passage EXCEPT _. Ait is believed that the creation of the airplane might have originat

26、ea of the passage? AHow Daimlers bionic car came into being. BNature has inspired a lot of inventions and will continue to. CScientists and inventors contribution to modern industry comes from nature. DThe Natures 100 Best List.课时作业(十六).1.B句意为：这条老路不太直，也有点绕远。但不知何故，他们不喜欢走新路。though作副词用时常置于句尾。somehow意为“
27、不知何故，不知怎么的”，符合语境。其他两项明显不正确。2Balways和现在进行时连用表示埋怨或责备，意为“总是”。3C短语in response to中to是介词，后接名词或v.ing作宾语。4D此题考查词组意思区分。queue up意为“排队等候”。5D此题考查occur的用法。句型It occurs to sb. that意为“某人突然想起”；又因为从句中用过去时，故用occurred。6Amove on to表示“接下去，继续”。7Cmove on 继续移动；put on 穿上；take on 雇佣；hold on 别挂断。此处take on 符合语境。8Cmake fun of sb
28、. 拿某人开玩笑；behave oneself是固定短语，表示“规矩点儿”。9Cpleased “感到高兴的”；worth作形容词时只能作表语；excited “感到兴奋的”；worthwhile “值得的”，可以作定语修饰job。10Dfollow in the footsteps of sb.follow in ones footsteps意为“走某人的道路，照某人的样子做”。11Daward“奖励，授予奖”，句中是获得了70万美元的奖金，故应选D。12B句意为：他没有大喊大叫，只是默默地怒视着我。look at 看；knock at 敲(门等)；wonder at 对感到惊讶；glare
29、 at 对怒目而视。13C句意为：山姆如此气愤以至于他撕碎了手中的书。tear up 撕碎；tear off 扯掉；tear down 拆毁；tear away (使)勉强离去。14B句意为：孩子们通过玩捉迷藏游戏取乐，快乐极了。astonish 令人吃惊；arouse 唤醒；arise 出现。只有amuse(使高兴)符合题意。15Ctear是可数名词，此处应用复数形式，B、D应排除；选项A不能用作主语，只有C项动名词短语可作主语，且与谓语动词do保持一致，因此C是正确选项。.“我”和朋友在印度旅游。在一座寺庙前，一个女乞丐向“我”乞讨一个卢比买中餐吃。“我”开始拒绝了她的请求，但后来“我”给
30、了她两个卢比。在“我”返回旅馆的途中又看见了她她正在喂一个小女孩！而喂给小女孩吃的中餐正是用“我”施舍她的其中一个卢比买的。一个乞丐的慷慨震撼了“我”的心灵，“我”决定戒烟了！因为“我”从中认识到：两根烟的代价就能养活两个人啊！16D根据上文a long queue of people were waiting to go inside. Some of my friends were standing in the line”和下文“as our group was at the front of the queue可推断我们中有些人利用团队中有人排队的机会喝茶或抽烟。take the op
31、portunity意为“利用机会”，符合语境，故选D。make the opportunity意为“制造机会”，不符合语境，因为这种机会不是自己创造的，故不选C。lose the opportunity意为“失去机会”，find the opportunity意为“发现机会”，均不符合语境，故不选A、B。17C根据下文她所说的but theyll never give that rupee to a hungry person可推断我们拒绝了她的要求，故选C。18A根据I overheard the woman beggar say可推断，此句意为“当我们在匆忙赶过去的时候，我无意中听到她说”
32、。故选A。19D由语境可知，她的话是针对“我”朋友my friend crushed his cigarette with his shoes的行为所说的，由此推断此空指“我”朋友抽烟的不良习惯，故选D。20B根据上文we were hurrying over可知，“我”hurrying over的行为已经开始，此处应意为：“我”没有在意她的话而继续往前赶。故选B。21A根据I began wondering if there was some truth to what she had said.可推断“我”进入寺庙后，又想起了她所说的话，即她的话又在“我”耳边回响。故选A。22B由上下文语
33、境可知，在“我”进入寺庙前她在商店附近，“我”出寺庙后她仍然在商店附近，故选B。23D根据She was also feeding a little girl可推断我们是在回宾馆的途中无意中发现她正在路边吃中餐，故选D。catch sb. doing sth.意为“抓住某人在做不正当的事”，不符合语境，故不选B。24A根据still has to learn how to beg for a rupee for her lunch可判断她是新来者，故选A。25C根据上文她向我们这些来旅游的人乞讨可推断该空选C。26A根据She couldnt arrange a rupee today. I
34、had two；therefore I bought lunch for her out of the money for my dinner不难推断她的大方，故选A。27B受女乞丐的大方行为的影响，“我”突然有了戒烟的决心和力量，故选B。“我”戒烟的目的自然不是为了今后施舍乞丐，故不选D。A项意为“特权”，C项意为“机会”，均不符合语境，故也排除。.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。28D细节理解题。根据最后一段可推断大自然是开发技术的源泉，故选D。A项不符合A company in Atlanta, US, developed a selfcleaning paint
35、 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。29C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 it can start, stop, back up and zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease.
36、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。30C细节理解题。根据第一段When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energyefficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks.可判断选C。31B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。32B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。
