18、 the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say its a gift while others simply think I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. Im very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on
19、 those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didnt seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someones feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To
20、 take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? Hes highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but hell sit quietly and just listen. Even when hes asked a pointed questi
21、on, hell answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answersthey either didnt feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didnt feel the need to participate in
22、the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didnt work for me. I m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didnt work e
23、ither. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes its so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.An interesting thing happened on this journey t
24、o the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from
25、that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet. As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. Ive found that l
26、istening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.25. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions
27、 her husband mainly _. A. to show how one communicates effectively B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation C. to give her high opinion of his communication skills D. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet26. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to
28、_. A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quiet B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much C. find out other reasons why she should talk less D. survey people in other areas who talk little27. Which of the following best describe the writers character? A.
29、Kind but pessimistic. B. Selfless but proud. C. Loving and active. D. Stubborn and sensitive.C Whats the most important thing in life? Peoples answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child, he told the BBC. Edwards, the
30、 inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technologymore commonly known as test-tube (试管) baby technologypassed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87. Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child, said Peter Braude, a professor at
31、 Kings College London. He leaves the world a much better place. Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as scary, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US. Ed
32、wards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature, Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt quite alone at th
33、e time. But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing, said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.:. The first test-tube baby was bo
34、rn on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite peoples safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children. IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun, BBC commented. Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable
35、to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other test-tube children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth the following year. Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. He is lik
36、e a granddad to me, she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.He is a granddad to millions, in fact.28. Whats the article mainly about? A. The first test-tube baby. B. A new era in medicine.C. The inventor of IVF technology. D. The changes IVF technology has brought.29. The writer quoted Peter Br
37、aude to _. A. show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his workB. describe what kind of person Edwards wasC. explain why he is loved by all childrenD. comment on his achievement30. The underlined word opposition in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _.A. attack B. support C. test D. influence31
38、. What is the correct order of events in Edwards life?a. He received a Nobel Prize.b. He struggled to raise funds.c. The first test-tube baby was born.d. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.e. He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.f. He started his experiments on IVF technology.A. f-
39、e-b-c-a- d B. f-b-e-c-d-a C. f-b-e-c-a-d D. f-e-d-a-c-bD 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 integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tin
40、y machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “Its 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 pro
41、fessor 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
42、 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 perform well, but then has to be matched well to ev
43、erything its 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 with these tiny components can be built and manufactured. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a
44、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
45、 offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. 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
46、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.”32. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.A. they
47、had no model in their mindB. they did not have enough timeC. they had no ready-made componentsD. they could not assemble the components33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC. can colle
