A personal biography.CStanford University researchers have developed a device called a nature-inspired aerial grasper， or SNAG, which can be attached to a quadcopter drone(四轴无人机)to give it feet and legs like those of an eagle. When equipped with the device, the drone is abl
18、e to fly around catching and carrying objects and perching (栖息) on various surfaces, according to a Stanford news release dated Dec. 1, 2021, describing the work.But copying the flexibility of birds wasnt easy to do. The researchers shot videos of small parrots flying back and forth between special
19、perches that contained sensors to measure thephysical forces of landing, perching and takeoff.“What surprised us was that they did the same aerial military exercise, no matter what surfaces they were landing on,” one of the researchers, William Roderick, explained in the news release.“They let the f
20、eet handle the variability and complexity of the surface texture itself,” he said.Giving a drone similar abilities required technological feat (技艺). SNAG has a 3D-printed structure that imitates an eagles lightweight bones, and each of its legs is equipped with a motor for moving back and forth and
21、a second one for grasping.Mechanisms in the robots legs are designed to absorb impact energy and passively change it into grasping force, the way that a birds muscles would. As a result, a drone equipped with the device can grasp something strongly in just 20 milliseconds. Once the robots feet are w

23、hang onto something. As this 2019 Smithsonian article explains, being able to land in various places helps drones to conserve energy that would expend by having to remain in the air. Thats important, because the flight time of robotic aircrafts is limited by their battery power.8. What inspired the
24、SNAGs development?A. The way parrots perch. B. The military exercise.C. The 3D-printed technology D. The eagles lightweight bones.9. What makes the drones grabbing something strongly so quickly possible?A. The powerful battery.B. Their ability to imitate parrots taking off.C. The application of adva

China has witnessed a range of extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall, flooding, tornadoes and record heatwaves this
31、 year. Meteorological officials said the country had an average temperature of 21.3 degrees Celsius in June, 0.9 degrees Celsius higher than the same period on average, and the highest record for the same period since 1961.Experts say that while extreme summer heat is not entirely new, these sorts o
32、f occurrences could be something that becomes a standard part of life, requiring people to start learning how to cope with heatwaves that may continue for the rest of summer and well into the future.Remember that even healthy, young athletes can be harmed by extreme heat, so every activity, indoors
33、or outdoors, should be evaluated when extreme heat hits. There are some ways to stay safe during extreme heat events, such as drinking plenty of water, looking for shade or remaining inshade when outside, and avoiding cooking large meals that can add heat to your indoor environment.12.What does the
