Ⅰ.阅读理解
When Sarah Lee was a child, she loved to watch the birds in her backyard and wondered how they could fly so effortlessly.As she grew older, Sarah became interested in the science behind flight and decided to study aerospace engineering in college.
After graduation, Sarah began working for a company that designed airplanes.However, she soon realized that the traditional methods of airplane design were not always efficient or sustainable.She began to wonder if there was a way to design airplanes that mimicked the natural world.
Sarah started to study birds and insects, observing how they were able to fly with such grace and efficiency.She asked questions like:How do birds adjust their wings to different wind conditions How do insects use their wings to hover in place
With this knowledge, Sarah began to design airplanes that incorporated biomimicry, or the imitation of nature.She created wings that could adjust their shape based on wind conditions, just like a bird's wings.She also designed planes that could hover in place, like a dragonfly.
Sarah's designs were a hit.Her company began to produce airplanes that were more efficient and sustainable than ever before.They used less fuel and emitted fewer pollutants into the air.
Sarah now travels around the world, giving talks on the benefits of biomimicry in engineering.“Nature has been solving problems for millions of years,” she says.“We can learn a lot from the natural world if we just take the time to observe and ask questions.”
