(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·成都第二次诊断)A team of engineers at Harvard University created the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to，” said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off­board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built­in power source, so that it might someday perform data­gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect­scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day­to­day basis.”【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。哈佛大学的工程师团队研制出了首个机器苍蝇飞行器，该飞行器虽然尺寸如苍蝇大小，但结构复杂，有望在未来执行搜救点、农田、战场的数据收集任务。1．What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?A．It’s automatic.B．It’s very small.C．It’s controllable.D．It’s quite powerful.B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.

Life in the future

未来的⽣生活

Dear Mum and Dad, I still cannot believe that I am taking up

this prize that I won last year. I have to remind myself

constantly that I am really in AD 3008. Worried about the

journey, I was unsettled for the first few days. As a result, I

suffered from “Time lag”. This is similar to the “jet lag” you

get from flying, but it seems you keep getting flashbacks from

your previous time period. So I was very nervous and

uncertain at first. However, my friend and guide, Wang Ping,

was very understanding and gave me some green tablets

which helped a lot. Well-known for their expertise, his parents'

company, called "Future Tours", transported me safely into

the future in a time capsule.

亲爱的爸爸妈妈，我仍然不不敢相信我正在接受我去年年赢得的这

个奖。 我不不得不不时时提醒⾃自⼰己，我真的在公元3008年年。 我很

担⼼心这次旅⾏行行，在最开始的⼏几天很不不安。 因此，我遭受了了“时
