三、阅读理解
The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30 am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33 am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37 am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.
That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.
"Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed," says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.
For all of Bellevue's success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. "It's not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities," he says.
In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department's traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.
1.What does the underlined word "That" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Increased length of green lights. B.The shortened traffic signal cycle.
C.Flexible timing of traffic signals. D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.
2.What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals
A.They work better on broad roads. B.They should be used in other cities.
C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road. D.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.
3.What can we learn from Bellevue's success
A.It is rewarding to try new things. B.The old methods still work today.
C.It pays to put theory into practice. D.The simplest way is the best way.
四、语法填空
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by nature to create the first robotic fly. The fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. ①_________(design) to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is ②_________ size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it ③_________(stay) in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
"It is extremely ④_________(importance) for us to think of this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual ⑤_________(part)," said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who ⑥_________(work) on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team ⑦_________(get) the permission to start putting together the parts. "The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those parts is ready to use and so we have to develop them all ⑧_________ our own," he said.
They designed a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. "The seemingly simple system ⑨_________ just moves the wings has plenty of interdependency on the individual parts," said Wood.
Although this first robotic fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is ⑩_________(final) to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work on rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield.
答案以及解析
一、
1.答案:regulate
解析:句意:这所学校的校长采取新的制度规范管理学生的行为。regulate v.控制,管理。
2.答案:leap
解析:句意:正如在古代武侠故事中一样,影片中的人物不时地在空中飞跃,并做出许多优美的动作,观众看到这些时都发出了惊叫声。leap v. 跳,跳跃。
3.答案:automation
解析:句意:你同意我关于自动化意味着失去许多工作的观点吗 automation n.自动化。
4.答案:immoral
解析:句意:然而,另外一些人认为克隆人完全不道德并且违背自然。immoral adj.不道德的,道德败坏的。
5.答案:victims
解析:句意:他发起一项旨在帮助罪案受害者的运动。victim n.受害者,为可数名词,根据常识可知应用复数形式。
6.答案:humanity
解析:句意:我不得不承认的是这部电影很不错,比如它先进的数字化视频效果和对于人类未来的担忧。humanity n.人类。
二、答案:1. In contrast
2. lay in
3. in the long run
4. wipe out
5. on the whole
6. hang out
7. is based on
8. Speaking of
三、答案:1-3.CDA
解析:1.代词指代题。根据文章第一段中的"The traffic signals...By 9:33 am, a burst of...Less traffic at 9:37 am...changes."可以推知, That指代第一段中的多变的交通信号灯时间, 故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的"others are so jammed that only..."和"It's not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities"可知, Kevin Balke认为可调节式的交通信号灯对小城市的交通改善是有用的, 但对交通极度拥堵的城市而言, 作用并不是非常大, 故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的"the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches"可推知, 从Bellevue装可调节式交通信号灯一事上不难发现, 它的成功在于积极尝试新事物, 故选A项。
四、答案:Designed; the; to stay; important; parts; has been working; got; on; which/that; finally
解析:①考查非谓语动词。主语the tiny machine与design之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作状语。
②考查冠词。the size of... = the same size as..., 意为“和……一样大”,故用定冠词the。
③考查非谓语动词。allow sb./sth. to do sth.表示“允许某人/某物做某事”。
④考查形容词。此处是"It is + adj. + for sb.+to do sth."句塑,故用所给词的形容词形式。
⑤考查名词复数。由空前的"a bunch of"可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
⑥考查时态。根据语境及时间状语"for over a decade"可知,此处表示一个从过去某个时间开始,延续到现在,并可能延续下去的动作,故用现在完成进行时。
⑦考查时态。由时间状语"A few years ago"可知, 此处应用一般过去时。
⑧考查介词。on one's own表示“独自地”,为固定搭配。
⑨考查定语从句空处指代先行词system并在定语从句中作主语,故填which/that。
⑩考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处作状语,故应用副词finally。
