【导读】本文讲述了机器人苍蝇的研发，面临的困难以及前景。

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. 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.

“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components(元件), ”said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.

They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perf orm well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot wi th these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering 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 insect-scale. Yet, th e 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 day-to-day basis.”

人主张现象学就是哲学的基本思想。 当然哲学史上也曾有人声言，哲学与原创无缘，例如席勒或狄尔泰便把哲学看作单纯□的，而非□的，这也可能在哲学的古希腊源头上找到依据，甚至整个希腊哲学都可以看作是对”给出根据”的要求。以后它也与”健全理智”的预设联系在一起。但这归根结底只是一个对原创性概念的术语使用问题。事实上没有人否认在哲学分析和哲学论证上也有原创的和非原创的之分。由此说开去，不仅哲学家可以具有原创性，甚至历史学家也可以是如此。 我据此而想说的是：哲学强调原创，这原则上不成为问题。而且思想的原创性是每一个致思者多多少少迟迟早早都会面对的问题。除非--这是我们所要考虑的另一类情况--我们从一开始就像卡斯悌尔那样，以一种根本不想当将军的士兵心态，坚信”与其去创造藐小的东西，不如去理解伟大的东西”。 １．框内填入词语最恰当的一项是 Ａ．模仿和因循征服和冒险 Ｂ．保守和规范新奇和反叛 Ｃ．分析和论证创造和建构 Ｄ．发展和深化革命和反叛 ２．关于哲学的原创性，不符合原文内容的一项

生活中的科学常识

第二十四章生活中的科学常识 第一节生活常识 1 ?物理常识 挑选瓷器：用手或其他物品轻敲瓷器，通过声音就能判断瓷器的好坏。因为有裂缝的碗、盆发出的声音的音色远比正常的瓷器差，通过音色这一点就能把坏的碗、盆挑选出来，当然实际还用辨别音调，观察形态等方法，但主要还是通过音色来辨别的。 监测灾情：通过监测次声波就可知道地震、台风的信息。因为次声波是频率低于20赫兹的声音，人类无法听到。一些自然灾害如地震、火山喷发、台风等都伴有次声波的产生，通过监测传来的次声波就能获取某些自然灾害的信息。 汽车前窗：除大型客车外，绝大多数汽车的前窗都是倾斜的。当汽车的前窗玻璃倾斜时，车内乘客经玻璃反射成的像在车的前上方，而路上的行人是不可能出现在上方的空中的，这样就将车内乘客的像与路上行人分离开来，司机就不会出现错觉，避免因平面镜成像而造成事故。 水管黏手：寒冷的天气，用手触摸自来水金属管时，好像对手有一种黏力”自来水的金属管是热的良导体，当用手接触它时，手上的热量被金属迅速吸收并传走，手表面皮肤层的水分会立即遇冷凝固，将手和自来水管黏”在一起。 2?化学常识 食品保存：为了防止食品受潮、变质或变形，常在食品袋内充入二氧化碳或氮气；或在袋内放干燥剂：生石灰、氯化钙主要是吸水，铁主要是吸收氧气和水；或采取真空包装。 雨后天清：夏日雷雨过后，人们会感到空气特别清新，是因为在闪电时，发生了化学变化，空气中的有些氧气变成了臭氧。浓的臭氧很臭，具有很强的氧化能力，能够漂白与杀菌。稀薄的臭氧会给人以清新的感觉。雷雨后，空气中会弥漫着少量的臭氧，因此人们会感到空气清新。 陈酒更香：白酒的主要成分是乙醇，把酒埋在地下，保存好，放置几年后，乙醇就和白酒中较少的成分乙酸发生化学反应，生成的乙酸乙酯具有果香味。上述反应虽为可逆反应，反应速度较慢，但时间越长，也就有越多的乙酸乙酯生成，因此酒越陈越香。 真题链接 F列关于石灰的说法错误的是（） A ?生石灰通常可以作为食品干燥剂 B ?澄清石灰水放置在空气中易变浑浊 C?汉白玉与石灰石的主要成分相同D.烈火焚烧若等闲”指熟石灰的高温煅烧

阅读理解之科普类说明文答案解析

1. 【解析】 试题分析：这是一篇说明文。本文通过举例说明了太空生活的奇妙：在太空睡觉时，对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势；宇航员在一个地方运动久了会出现碳毒性头痛；宇航员的大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。最后告诉我们美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心是宇航员回家后的修养期和如何在太空长久地保持健康。 63.A细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own chal lenges.”可知在太空睡觉时，对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势。故选A项。 64. C细节理解题。根据第三段中“But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. …You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache”可知宇航员在一个地方运动久了会出现碳毒性头痛。故选C项。 65. D细节理解题。根据第四段中“Your inner ear thinks you’re failing. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.”可知宇航员在大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。故选D项。 66.B细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第一、二句“The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy…NASA is worried about two things :… and, more importantly, how maintain strength and fitness…”可知美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心之一是如何在太空长久地保持健康。故选B项。 【考点定位】说明文阅读 【名师点睛】科普类说明文历来是高考阅读理解命题的重点，文章逻辑性强，条理清楚，主要考查学生对语篇的整体把握和领悟能力以及对特定细节的认读和处理能力。考生应注意：1.平时多读科普知识类文章，学习科普知识，积累常见的科普词汇，从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。2.熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题（高考题中一般不给出标题）、导语、背景、主体和结尾五部分构成。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这部分是命题的重点，考生应该重点把握。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题。3. 在进行推理判断时，考生一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据，同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识。 2. 【解析】 试题分析：文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点，透明原理，以及形成机制。 63.B 细节理解题。文章第一段第三行：Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch。得知B选项：透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。 64.D 词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了：你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射；而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了，那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了，因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。 65.C 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light。可知，想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线，因此其中的一个方法是C选项，避免光线的吸收。故选C。 66.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does可以推断出D为正确答案。其中slowdown对应reduce。故选D。 【考点定位】科技类说明文 【名师点睛】做科技类说明文时，考生应能：理解语篇主旨要义，理解文中具体信息，根据上下文提供的线索推测生词的词义，根据文中事实和线索作出简单的判断和推理。此次出现了新型科技类说明文。往年科技类说明文的阅读难点在于专业类词汇，但是今年的“新型耳机”在问题设置上难度不大，属于文章难但题目不难的题目。所以要理解好文章做好此题就不是难题。

2020届高考英语一轮阅读理解热门话题针对训练-科教科普类(1)

科教科普类 1、You can remember the face, but can‘t put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone's name than what they look like. Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before. The participants could remember up to 85 per cent of the names but only 73 per cent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 per cent of faces, according to the study, led by the University of York. That may be because faces are only recognized visually, while names can be both spoken and written down so appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university's psychology department, said, "Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work." Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into acquaintances. But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a “fair test” where the participants were presented with strangers’ names and faces. 1.What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3? A.It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces. B.Remembering names is more easily than remembering faces.

初中科学知识在实际生活中的一些应用

初中科学知识在生活中的应用 曹文才 物理是一门历史悠久的自然学科，物理科学作为自然科学的重要分支，不仅对物质文明的进步和人类对自然界认识的加深起了重要的推动作用，而且对人类的思维发展也产生了重要的影响。从亚里士多德时代的自然哲学，到牛顿时代的经典力学，直至现代科学中的相对论和量子力学等，都是科学学家的科学素质、科学精神以及科学思维的有形体现。随着科技的发展、社会的进步，科学已渗入到人类生活的各个领域。 新课程标准告诉我们“义务教育阶段的科学课程应贴近学生生活，符合学生认知特点，激发并保持学生的学习兴趣，通过探索科学现象，揭示隐藏其中的科学规律，并将其应用于生产生活实际，培养学生终身的探索乐趣、良好的思维习惯和初步的科学实践能力。”在生活中，我们会接触到各种各样的物体，为了更好的了解和使用它们，就要用到相关的科学知识。用身边的事例去解释和总结科学规律，学生易于接受和理解。只要时时留意，经常总结，就会不断发现有利于科学教学的事例，从而丰富我们的课堂，活跃教学气氛，简化科学概念和规律。 科学存在于同学们身边。学习了电学知识后，同学们发现电在我们生活中起着举足轻重的作用。电灯、电视机、电饭煲、电褥子、电磁炉等，在很多家庭中都是必需品。当某个时候突然停电时，我们会变得手足无措。没有了电视，我们会觉得生活很单调;没有了电灯，我们会觉得回到了点煤油灯的时代。特别是现在的孩子，每次遇到这种情况，他们都会感叹电在现代文明中的重要作用。 于是，同学们自发的对家庭中涉及到电的物体进行了探究。经过一段时间的努力，他们得出各种各样的结论。在交流的基础上，各小组进行了汇总，得出几方面的结论： 一、在家庭线路安装方面 1.电表箱中电能表的选择，220V 20A的规格满足了大多数家庭用电器总功率过大 的要求。 2.电线的选择，2.5平方毫米的铜导线允许通过的最大电流23A，即与电能表相匹配， 又满足了大功率用电器对导线的安全要求。 3.闸刀开关中的保险丝，熔点低，电阻大。当线路中出现短路或过载时能自动熔断， 起到保护电路的作用。 4.漏电断路器，比闸刀开关更先进一些，除了对短路和过载起作用外，对于意外的 漏电和触电事故能起到自动跳闸的作用，更好的保障我们的人身安全。 5.三孔插座中的地线，可以把漏电电流及时的导入大地，避免了因用电器漏电造成 的人身触电事故。洗衣机、空调和其它大功率用电器的电源线都是三线插头， 就是为了和地线配套使用。 二、厨房中的电器 1.电饭煲利用电流的热效应，把电能转化为热能，它的热效率较低。 2.电磁炉能把电能转化为电磁能，电磁能转化为电能，电能再转化为热能。它对人 体没有辐射作用。它的热效率非常高，节约了电能。它是一个电生磁、磁生电 在生活中的一个典型应用。 1

科普类文章阅读训练题(一)

科普类文章阅读训练题（一） 一、阅读下面的文字，完成后面题目。（9分） 通常人们认为，人类的骨头对自身的保护全靠包裹在它外面的肌肉和皮肤，骨头对自身的保护则无能为力。而研究人员的最新发现证实，已往人们对骨头的认识还比较粗浅，导致人们完全低估了骨头的自我保护能力。他们发现，在外来的冲击面前，人类的骨头也会施展自己的惊人秘技。骨头不但防卫有法，而且疗伤有术。 研究人员的这个发现得益于此前其他科学家的一个新奇发现。6年前，科学家研究鲍鱼壳的时候发现了隐藏在里面的“分子减震器”，这是一种能够将生物矿化结构紧密粘合的胶，由于它的存在，使得鲍鱼壳具有一定的弹性，相应地也增强了它的抗冲击能力。当时，科学家猜测，人类的骨头里可能也有这种“分子减震器”，遗憾的是一直没有发现它的踪影。 最近，美国的研究人员在人体骨骼中还真的发现了人类骨头里的“分子减震器”。研究发现，人的骨头里的胶原纤维和其表面覆盖的仅有一层几个原子厚度的骨盐结晶，能起一定的抗震作用，而把骨盐结晶与胶原纤维连接在一起的是一种胶，这种胶的作用原理与科学家以往在鲍鱼壳中发现的物质相同。这种胶含有能够隐藏自身长度的结合键，这使得这种特殊生物胶拥有了粘连性和一定的弹性。在骨骼受到应力的时候，它们可以舒展开来，以帮助骨骼减少震动的冲击；而当应力解除时，它们又会像弹簧那样，重新盘绕成原来的结构。这种特殊的生物胶分子在骨头里面确实能发挥出色的减震作用，所以它是名副其实的“分子减震器”。通过高清晰度的摄像仪，研究人员还拍摄到了这种性能奇特的胶和其自身的缠绕结构图像。 研究人员还发现，这种胶的作用并不仅仅提供给健康的骨骼较大的弹性和抗骨折能力，实际上在因骨骼受伤形成细小的裂纹之后，它还能很快帮助其修复裂纹。胶的修复方法主要是发挥自己的粘连特性，把裂纹重新聚合在一起，就像是人们给断裂的骨头打上石膏那样帮助裂纹康复。 也就是说，人体骨头里的这种特殊的生物胶就是骨头的防身“密器”，骨头的惊人秘技全是靠它施展出来的。 接下来，研究人员把研究的重点放在了随着人们年龄的增长，或在患某些特定疾病时，或在骨头受伤的情况下，这种分子胶是如何发生改变或被耗尽的。如果找到答案，人们就可以找到保护骨骼不发生破坏性改变的方法，甚至能逆转骨骼的破坏性生成改变，生物胶将是未来治疗骨骼疾病的重要武器，对于骨折、骨头老化的防治，对促进骨头健康发育，都会提供一系列全新的方法。 1．下列对“分子减震器”的相关叙述，不正确的一项是（）（3分）A．“分子减震器”是一种能够将生物矿化结构紧密粘合起来的生物胶，它是科学家在研究鲍鱼壳的时候发现的。 B．人类骨头里的“分子减震器”能将胶原纤维和骨盐结晶连接在一起，从而使 其具有一定的抗震作用。 C．“分子减震器”不但能给所有的骨骼提供较大的弹性和抗骨折能力，而且能在骨骼受伤形成细小的裂纹后，帮助修复裂纹。 D．“分子减震器”这种特殊的生物胶之所以拥有粘连性和一定的弹性，是因为它含有能够隐藏自身长度的结合键。 2．下列叙述中，符合原文意思的一项是（）（3分） A．以前人们认为骨头对自身的保护没有有效的办法，但研究人员的最新发现将改变这一观点。 B．在鲍鱼壳上发现生物胶的时候，科学家就推测人类的骨头里也肯定有这种生物胶。 C．生物胶的结构呈缠绕状，当受到外力冲击时，它会像弹簧那样盘绕起来从而保护自己。 D．生物胶修复受伤骨骼的主要办法是利用自己的粘连性，把裂纹聚合起来并使之长出新的骨骼。 3．以下对文章的分析与判断不正确的一项是（）（3分） A．科学家研究鲍鱼壳时获得的结论为后来研究人员的新发现奠定了一定的基础。 B．如果没有生物胶，鲍鱼壳就没有一定的弹性，其抗冲击能力也将减弱。 C．骨头的惊人秘技全是靠骨头的防身“密器”即一种特殊的生物胶施展出来的。 D．一旦找到生物胶发生改变或被耗尽的答案，就会给医学界带来治疗方法的全面革新。 二、阅读下面的文字，完成后面的题目。（18分） 为什么称单克隆抗体为生物导弹 1984年10月15日，瑞典斯德哥尔摩卡罗琳医学院宣布，米尔斯坦、科勒两人因从事免疫系统的研究和“发现生产单克隆抗体的原理”而获得诺贝尔生理学和医学奖。 什么是单克隆抗体呢？ 在生物工程中，有一类似导弹的东西也具有精确的导航系统，具有高度的专一性、准确性。它只与人体中某些特殊物质结合，以改变其特性，使它们失去活性。它这独特的性格，引起世界生物学者的高度重视。它就是生物导弹——单克隆抗体。抗体是在抵抗外来者侵入生物体时，生物体自身的B淋巴细胞产生的能与入侵者结合的自卫系统。生物体中有100万种B淋巴细胞，而每种B淋巴细胞可产生一种抗体时，它们恰似100万枚导弹，保护着生物体。当某种细菌侵入人体时，人体就能产生相对应的抗体与细菌的特定物质结合，这个物质被称为抗原。一旦抗原与抗体

话题阅读 Topic 20 Popular Science and Modern Technology (科普知识与现代技术)

Topic 20 Popular Science and Modern Technology (科普知识与现代技术) 基础篇 Frankfurt, Germany. Next month, who knows? You certainly won’t believe that I c an call you from my laptop, which is what I’m often doing these days using something called Skype. Skype lets me call any phone number anywhere in the world for about 2 cents a minute, a little more to some places, such as the Middle East and Asia. My computer does the dialing, and the processing of incoming and outgoing voices. All you need is a broadband connection. With the basic version of Skype, all anyone needs to make or receive a call is to install the program on his or her computer (and that includes personal digital assistants). All calls from PC to PC are free. You don’t even need a pair of headphones, though headphones can be a good idea if you wish to be discreet. I use my laptop’s built-in microphone. The paid service for calling regular telephones is called SkypeOut. The quality is completely clear, provided that there’s not too much traffic on the Internet. If there’s an echo, hang up and try again, and it usually gets better. There is one warning: on some computers, especially those run ning older versions of Windows, it doesn’t always work, or can sound like a confusing conversation. You can’t hear a thing. Skype was invented chiefly by a Swede named Niklas Zennstrom along with a group of programmers in Estonia. 1. Wich of the following is wrong of the author? A. He has seldom communicated with others before using Skype B. H often makes calls using Skype C. H often has to go from place to place D. H doesn’t know where he will be next month 2.

阅读理解特训专题3科普类 （一） 阅读短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）. 1. Satellites travel _____________. A. in space B. in the atmosphere C. above the ground D. above space 2.
