They have a short history in North America. Here are some facts about house sparrows.The house sparrow was introduced into Brooklyn, New York, in 1851. By 1900 it had spread to the Rocky Mountains. Two more introductions in the early 1870s, in San Francisco and Salt Lake City, aided the bird's spread throughout the West. House sparrows are now common across all of North America except Alaska and far northern Canada.The house sparrow takes frequent dust baths. It throws soil and dust over its body feathers, just as if it were bathing with water. In doing so, a sparrow may make a small depression （凹陷）in the ground, and sometimes defends this spot against other sparrows.The house sparrow prefers to nest in man-made structures such as lower edges of their roofs or walls of buildings, street lights, and nest boxes instead of in natural nest sites such as holes in trees.House sparrows are social birds and they have a pecking （啄食）order much the way chickens in a farmyard do. You can find out the standings by paying attention to the black throats of the males. Males with larger patches of black tend to be older and dominant over males with less black. By wearing this information on their feathers, sparrows can avoid some fights and thereby save energy.1.What can we know about house sparrows?A. They are native to New York.B - They are a new species of birds.C.They are foreign to North America.D.They are seen in all parts of the world.2.In which place are you least likely to see house sparrows?A. New York.B. Alaska.C. San Francisco.D. Canada.3.Which can replace the underlined words "dominant over” ?A. surprised atB. curious aboutC. popular withD. superior toBEach year, people buy millions of aquarium （水族箱）fish. But somehow most of the fish died within weeks or even within hours after you had bought them. For sure, fish are weak creatures compared to us. It does not mean they died for no reason at all.Since fish have no body heat, they are sensitive to sudden changes of water temperature. Water PH and water hardness can also affect them if there is a sudden change. Most of the quick deaths of fish are due to shock.Tap water is not a perfect choice for aquarium fish because of the chlorine （氯）in the tap water, which can kill the fish. So the best way is to just put the tap water in the sun for a few days.Fish need oxygen in the water. They will die if the oxygen in the aquarium runs out. Several things can cause it to happen. The aquarium is too small, that is, less water means less oxygen. The aquarium is too crowded, for the more fish you have, the more oxygen they need. The temperature is too high, because the higher the water temperature, the less dissolvedoxygen.Overfeeding the fish can cause a digestive （消化的）More food than it is needed can also cause waterpollution which will kill the fish too. Feed the fish onlyonce a day, with no more food than they can eat in less than a minute. In this case, less isbetter.4 .Whafs the function of paragraph one?A. Raising a question.B. Putting forward an argument.C. Posing a problem.D. Listing the causes of the problem.5 .Why are fish sensitive to sudden changes of water temperature?A. They are warm-blooded.B ・ They have no body heat.C. They live in the water.D. They are very weak.6 .Whafs the purpose of putting tap water in the sun?A. To let out the chlorine.B ・ To warm the water.C. To kill the viruses.D - To make the water clear.7 .How is the passage mainly developed?A. Problem-solution pattern.B ・ Question-answer pattern.C. Doubt-explanation pattern.D ・ View-argument pattern. 参考答案I .单句语法填空1. destroyed2.determined3.amazing 4,is measuredproblem and kill the fish directly, and create more harmful waste5. survival6.solution7.founded8.frozen9.reaction lO.recoveryn .请选用所给短语的适当形式填空1.after all2.concentrate on3.turned up4.fall off5.cut down6.lead to7.from time to time8.recover from9.up to 10.lost track ofin .完成句子2.if you can manage to do it3.allow them to advertise on radio and television4.lead to an argument5.make sure you close the door6.. a variety of forms7.concentrating on my job8.at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour9.stares at his feet10.After all11.Hold your horses阅读理解A【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Module 5 A Lesson in a Lab第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AHe has a bright idea.Avery Hairston is lighting up people’s lives. The 15-year-old from New York City created an organization called RelightNY. It helps people who have difficulty in paying their electricity bills by giving them special light bulbs (灯泡), which cut long-term electricity costs. They are also better for the environment than common bulbs. “People who can afford the bulbs, which are a bit expensive, should buy them,” Avery insists.He is very interested in recycling (回收再利用).Eli Kahn, 15, started Cartridges for a Cure to raise money for children’s cancer (癌症) research by recycling empty ink cartridges (墨盒). Eli has raised $82,000 for Joh ns Hopkins Children’s Center. “With a little time and work, anything can get bigger,” Eli says.She makes water safe to drink.Kelydra Welcker, 17, has been trying her best to make drinking water safer. She invented an easy way to get the chemical C8 out o f her West Virginia town’s water supply (供应). C8 went into the water from a nearby industrial factory. “Clean water should be a given,” Kelydra explains. “We all should have it.”She tries to stop deforestation.Wangari Maathai, from Kenya, Africa, has been working for many years to save the forests. In 1977, she started a movement in Kenya to help stop deforestation (the cutting or burning down of all the trees). The program has planted more than 30 million trees in Africa. Her work brought her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. In 2006, she helped start the Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations program encouraged people to plant trees in their neighborhood, with the goal of planting one billion treesworldwide that year. So many people who wanted to go green joined the program, and more than nin e million trees have been planted. Maathai says, “This is something anybody can do.”21. What can we learn about RelightNY?A. It helps the poor save money.B. It is a United Nations program.C. It raises money for sick children.D. It provides people with free bulbs.22. Who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004?A. Eli Kahn.B. Avery Hairston.C. Kelydra Welcker.D. Wangari Maathai.23. What the four people have done is all good for _____.A. the poorB. the sickC. the educationD. the environmentBI’ve always been interested in computers and technology, and I made a few apps (应用程序) for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. I’d like to share a couple with you today. My first app is “Earth Fortune”. My favorite and most successful app is “Bustin Jieber” — which is a Justin Bieber whack-a-mole (打地鼠游戏). I created it because a lot of people at school disliked the pop star a little bit, so I decided to make the app. I released (发布) it on December 21, 2010.A lot of people asked me, how did I make these? A lot of times it’s because the person who asked the question wants to make an app also. Where do you go to find out how to make an app? Well, this is how I got close to it, and this is what I did.First of all, I’d already been programming in many programming languages to get the basics down, such as Python, C, Java, etc. And then Apple released the iPhone with the software development kit (软件开发工具包) — a set of tools for creating and programming an iPhone app. This opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me, and after playing with the kit a little bit, I made a couple of test apps. I persuaded (劝说) my parents to pay 99 dollars to be able to put my apps on the App Store. They agreed, and now I have apps on the App Store.I’ve gotten a lot of creative ideas from Steve Jobs, and I’ve started an app club at school with the help of my teacher. Any student at my school can come and learn how to design an app.I’d like to finish up by saying what I’d like to do in the future. I’m working with a third party company to make an app. My next goal is to get into Android programming and development, continue my app club, and find other ways for students to share knowledge with others.That’s all. Thank you!24. What can we learn about Bustin Jieber?A. It is the author’s first app for the iPhone.B. It was released at the beginning of 2010.C. It is popular with Justin Bieber fans.D. It is a whack-a-mole game.25. What allowed the author possibilities to program?A. His teacher’s guidance.B. Test apps on the App Store.C. Apple’s software development kit.D. The Java programming language.26. What did the author do after he finished his test apps?A. He bought an iPhone.B. He met with Steve Jobs.C. He sold them to the App Store.D. He asked his parents for support.27. What’s the author’s future plan?A. To set up an app club.B. To design an Android app.C. To put his apps on the App Store.D. To share his apps with others for free.CThe Center at Palos Park is planning to offer a nice Barn Dance (谷仓舞会) for those who enjoy modern Western dancing but don’t want to lose the old-fashioned feel of the popular fall activity.Line dancing has taken the place of square dancing this year, said Mark Walker, The Center’s director of development, and nobody ne eds to worry about keeping up.“It’s easy and fun and there’ll be clear directions from the workers and some other dancers,” Walker said.The 13th Barn Dance takes place from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 9 at The Center’s Children’s Farm, Palos Park.A wooden floor made for dancing will take the place of part of the dirt floor in the large riding area of the barn, where hay bales (干草捆) are used for sitting and Italian lights are hung overhead — just the right touches to recreate an old-fashioned harvest (收获) dance of past years.Dancing is only one of the activities. There’s more to see and do.“You don’t even have to dance at all,”Walker said. “If you’re not into dancing, it’s fun just to come anyway.”Tours of the farm and its many lovely animals continue until 7 p.m. Traditional harvest-time hayrack (有装草架的大车) rides will take guests on a half-mile journey around the working farm.“The sun will be setting during most of that time. The light will be golden, and it’s really just great to enjoy ...” he said.If all goes well with the weather, rides continue throughout the evening, Walker said. He said the outdoor activities won’t be hampered by a few raindrops. It will take a heavy rain to drive everyone inside, where the fun will continue.“Dress for the weather,” Walker suggested, “but it is on, rain or shine ... because there’s a lot to do in the riding area.”All activities are included in the $10 ticket price for children and adults.Food and drink will be provided but visitors will have to pay a little more.28. What’s special about this year’s Barn Dance?A. It wants to attract more children.B. It will be held in a different season.C. It will give up old-fashioned line dancing.D. It offers modern dancing in a traditional environment.29. What will the dancing place be like?A. It will have hay seats.B. It will have a dirt floor.C. It will have a wooden door.D. It will have Italian floor lights.30. What can those who are uninterested in dancing do?A. Feed the animals.B. Help on the farm.C. Watch the sunset.D. Drive hayracks.31. What does the underlined word “hampered” probably mean?A. Stopped.B. Developed.C. Protected.D. Decided.DSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first presidentof the United States and made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Thirteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore in New Orleans, Louisiana. The deadly storm flooded (淹没) New Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster (灾难) caused great harm and death.New Orleans is located (位于) below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protect New Orleans from the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only in Louisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory (辉煌).Before Katrina, the U.S. government had never made everyone leave a city. People in New Orleans had to find shelter (避难所) quickly. Some had to stay at the Superdome Sports Center. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.32. What does the author tell us about New Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C. It created a new way to cook after Katrina.D. It was the first U.S. city that had been flooded.33. What can we say about the levees?A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.B. They helped people leave New Orleans quickly.C. They made New Orleans a special American city.D. They should be built to match the size of New Orleans.34. What might the author advise city governments to do?A. Put up more shelters in the city.B. Build more levees around the city.C. Teach people how to avoid floods.D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Katrina makes historyB. Floods shape LouisianaC. Storms are dangerousD. History must be remembered第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

money.Then one day she had a seriouscar accident,which changed her life.Hill said:“I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”As soon as she recovered,Hill

Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction.There are not many forests of these trees left.Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees.The

flower out of the ground in Tibet and boiled it with other food.He might not know what he dug up was not an ordinary one but a snow lotus,an extremely rare species.The eber existing in the wild is unknown,but scientists believe that the species is dying out and people are not allowed to collect them for private or even scientific use since .The snow lotus generally only grows above the snowline of the Tibetan Himalayas or Heaven Mountain in Central Asia.In order to survive the harsh environment and strong wind,it grows thick hair on the outside,which keeps the plant from the cold.And it often hasto grow around six to eight years before its only flowering time in life.Only very few plants and animals survive in such an environment.Therefore,each snow lotus is key part of the fragile(脆弱的) ecosystem around it.When someone digs one out of the ground,he/she not only wastes the plant’s own years of efforts,but also threatens the ecological(生态的) balance of about one square kilometer around it.For a long time,many people collect the lotus flowers to sell as herbal(药草的) plants to others,even though their herbal effects are not proved.Regardless of the fact,some traders do misleading advertising about them and illegally sell them at high prices.As a result,the species is in danger.The snow lotus is not the only plant that suffers from the illegal sale of certain people

traditional medicine,including drugs to fight cancer.“The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says SaraOldfield,secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.Most people worldwide rely on herbal(药草的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants.But about 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out,according to a report from the international conservation groupPlantlife.Shortages have been reported inChina,India,Kenya,Nepal,Tanzania and Uganda.Over-harvesting does the most harm,though pollution and competition from invasive species(入侵物种) and habitatdestr uction all contribute.“Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants,not caring about sustainability(可持续性),” the Plantlife report says,“Damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it,but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized.” M edicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew and the African cherry,which are used to treat some cancers.The solution,says the report’s author,Alan Hamilton,is to encourage local people to protect these plants.Ten projects ran by Plantlife in India,Pakistan,China,Nepal,Uganda and Kenya showed this method could succeed.In Uganda,the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments,and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.“Improving health,earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton,“You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”Ghillean Prance,the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in London,agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection.“Not nearly enough is being done.We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”12.From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that .lions of people are threatened with cancerB.most countries see a shortage of herbal medicinesC.about two thirds of medicinal species will disappearD.a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction13.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to .A.pollutionB.sustainabilityC.over-harvestingD.other species’ invasion14.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.B.Local people don’t know how to protect medicinal plants.C.Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants’ future.D.China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.15.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Low-cost Cancer TreatmentB.The Importance of

He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem，while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人).I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计).” The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building，attach a long rope to it，lower it to the street，and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”The student had really answered the question completely，but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said h e had many answers and clashed off one, which read: “Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式)to calculate the height of the b uilding.”At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others，and then added, “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him，‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.’”Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did，but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.36.The student got a zero at the beginning because________.A.the teacher wasn't satisfied with himB.his answer wasn't complete or correctC.the teacher didn't fully understand his answerD.his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics37.We know from the passage that________.A.the student knew the expected answerB.the administrator told Bohr the heightC.the author preferred Bohr's last answerD.the teacher was a very stubborn person38.We can learn from the passage that________.A.instructors can teach students how to thinkB.arbiters can help students to get high scoresC.students should be given more freedom in thinkingD.teachers should make students use physical formulas39.What was Bohr's attitude towards his schooling?A.Optimistic.B.Critical.C.Approving.D.Ambiguous.外研版高一上册英语Module 5练习试题答案Ⅰ.1.B 2.A 3.C4.D 考查used to do。

AMammoth Cave (猛犸洞窟) is the world's longest known cave system, almost 400 miles long, and some of it has yet to even be explored (勘探)!Our family spent two nights there last July, and loved it a lot! While the park itself isn't free to enter, you'll need to buy tickets for a cave tour to go into the cave. The tickets sell out fast, so order ahead online or arrive in the morning to purchase tickets for later in the day.We took two different tours in the morning. Our three kids took the Trog tour, where they had the chance to learn how the cave was formed, what lives in it, who has been there before you and how you can help protect it. It is offered during the summer season.While the kids travelled, the rest of the family took the Historic tour to get a feel for what it was like for the earliest explores of Mammoth Cave. To get there we must walk down a steep hill.In the afternoon we all took the New Entrance tour together. It was very amazing. This tour ended with a walk through the “Frozen Niagara” section of the cave.The next time we really want to visit the Violet City Lantern Tour ... and my older kids are hoping to take Introduction to Caving (aged 10 and up)．We loved our visit to Mammoth Cave—such a super cool place！篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。

外研版(2019)高中英语必修第一册Unit 5单元练习(1)

外研版（2019）高中英语必修第一册Unit5单元练习（1）一、阅读理解(共4题；共30分)1．（6分）阅读理解Years ago,many zoos kept all kinds of animals in small cages.Small cages made it easy for people to see the animals,but a small cage is not a good place for an animal to live in.Today zoos keep animals in different kinds of cages.The cages are very big and open.They usually have plants and a little lake.The cages look like the animals'habitats(栖息地).Zoos help to protect all kinds of animals.They protect animals in the zoo and they protect animals in the wild.How do they do this?Zoos teach people how animals live in the wild.Zoos want people to help protect the animals'wild habitats.Many plants and animals are going extinct.Mammoths,which are related with Asia elephants,are now extinct.There are no mammoths in the world today.Scientists say that seventyfour different kinds of living things go extinct every day!Zoos are working together to stop animals from going extinct.（1）（2分）Zoos kept animals in small cages so that people can________.A．protect them B．see them betterC．feed them D．save them（2）（2分）Today,zoos keep animals________.A．in bigger cages B．in the wildC．in smaller cages D．in the field（3）（2分）An animal or a plant that is going extinct________.A．no longer exists(存在)in the worldB．comes into this world soonC．becomes very dangerousD．has fewer and fewer living members2．（8分）阅读理解Scientists have recently discovered that animals that live in groups,such as elephants,foxes,andwolves,are more likely to follow rules.If they don't,and each does its own thing,the group will probably break apart.Group members would be forced to live alone,and would have a harder time hunting and raising their young.That's probably why a traveling wolf pack was seen stopping and waiting for its limping(跛行的)leader to catch up.Similar social ties are believed to be responsible for an elephant saving her friend from drowning.Sometimes,though,animals try their best to do what's right,even when there's nothing in it for them. Nobody knows exactly why."It might simply feel good to be kind,just as it does for humans."says Bekoff. If your friend wasn't nice to you,what would you do?Maybe you would just walk away.That's exactly what a wild red fox did when she was playing boxing with another fox.Toby was a generous cat.For ten years,the kind kitty shared his food with a spaniel(长耳狗)named Katie.After supper,owner Linda Gustafson always divided the food.She'd drop some in Katie's bowl on the floor and some in Toby's dish on the kitchen counter.Gustafson kept the cat's dish up high to keep Katie from stealing Toby's treats.As it turned out,Katie didn't need to steal;she only had to beg.Every night,the spaniel ate her food in a few seconds.Then she'd sit and stare at the cat and every night,Toby would be nice. Using his paw,he'd get several pieces of tasty food down to the waiting dog.Apparently,Katie appreciated it,because whenever she was curled up in her beanbag bed and the cat walked over,she would give up her nice,warm spot."Toby would then lie down in the center of the beanbag,"says Gustafson,"and Katie would lie on the floor."（1）（2分）The reason why some animals prefer to live in groups lies in that________.A．they have to follow natural rulesB．they are afraid of staying aloneC．they cannot find food by themselvesD．living alone would make their lives harder（2）（2分）According to Bekoff,animals try their best to do what's right because________.A．it feels good to be kindB．animals are friendly by natureC．they have learned to do so for a long timeD．they want their owners to like them（3）（2分）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that___________________.A．Linda always lets the animals eat togetherB．Katie sometimes gets her food by stealingC．Toby is generous but Katie isn'tD．Katie and Toby help each other（4）（2分）The passage mainly tells us that________.A．we should protect animals and live with them peacefullyB．animals，like humans，can be connected by friendly social tiesC．rules only exist in human societies and not in animal societiesD．animals will make the world more beautiful and peaceful3．（8分）阅读理解Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by huntergatherers,small,tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that10,000years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present,the world has about6,800languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot, wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around200languages;the Americas about1,000;Africa2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over800.The median number(中位数)of speakers is a mere6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over400of the total of6,800languages are close to extinction(消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.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 questionmark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.（1）（2分）What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?A．They developed very fast.B．They were large in number.C．They had similar patterns.D．They were closely connected.（2）（2分）Which of the following best explains"dominant"underlined in paragraph2? A．Complex.B．Advanced.C．Powerful.D．Modern.（3）（2分）How many languages are spoken by less than6,000people at present?A．About6,800.B．About3,400.C．About2,400.D．About1,200.（4）（2分）What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created.B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C．Human development results in fewer languages.D．Geography determines language evolution.4．（8分）阅读理解As scientists in the Netherlands tried to figure out how to build a super flying robot,they learned from one of nature's flyers:the humble fruit fly.And by building this robot,they've gained new understanding of how the fly carries out one of its dangerous tasks.The robot is called the DelFly Nimble.Its wingspan(翼展)is about a foot wide.It has four wings that can beat at17times per second,which appear very delicate because they're made of the same material as space blankets."In previous designs,they always had a tail,like a traditional airplane tail,"said the robot's main designer Matej Karasek.He's based at the Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands,and he and his colleagues published their findings on Thursday in Science."In previous generations,"he said,"flapping wings drove the robot forward while the tail helped to guide and stabilise(稳定)it.But now the DelFly Nimble is completely controlled by the wings.""The challenge then was actually combining the control into the wing movement,and that's what we achieved," Karasek said."In the latest generation,the wings can each move individually or rotate(旋转)around the body of the robot.The robot can remain in one place in the air for about five minutes on a full battery or fly for more than a kilometre,"Karasek said,"and because the scientists are controlling all the movements,they can use the robot to learn more about how fruit flies actually carry out their dangerous tasks,which has caught the attention of biologists."（1）（2分）Where did scientists get the creative idea of the flying robot?A．From a fruit fly.B．From the birds'wings.C．From some fruit.D．From an airplane.（2）（2分）What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph4probably refer to?A．A full battery.B．A flapping wing.C．The DelFly Nimble.D．The humble fruit fly.（3）（2分）What interests biologists most about fruit flies?A．That they are very tiny insects.B．How they conduct challenging tasks.C．Why they can be easily found in the world.D．That they have light wings and fly quickly.（4）（2分）Where is the text probably taken from?A．A research paper.B．A travel brochure.C．A health magazine.D．A chemistry textbook.二、任务型阅读(共1题；共5分)5．（5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
