Passed down between generations of royals(皇室成员)and upper-class families,
18、 the finished works were thought to resemble(与类彳以)dragons, eachpage appearing like a scale.With few of the books surviving to the present day, the bookbinding technique was at risk of becoming lost before Beijing-based artist Zhang Xiaodong decided to research and revive(复兴)it. Using the Palace Muse
19、ums only existing dragon scale book for reference, he spent four years printing and binding to perfect his art.One of Zhangs works is a dragon scale bookbinding version of the classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. The 120-chapter book comes with recreations of 230 images by Qing Dynasty ar
20、tist Sun Wen. Combining ancient folding and cutting techniques with modern technology, Zhang printed pictures and text onto paper at a factory before cutting them to recreate Suns paintings.As part of Zhangs u scientific approach11, he visited old towns and heritage sites to source materials traditi
21、onally used in bookbinding, such as ricepaper, bamboo, silk and wood. Then came the most important and difficult part of the binding process: controlling the placement of each page. In order to create a complete picture, each sheet of paper needs to be placed in exactly the right place. Zhang said t
22、hat a mistake of just a hundredth of a centimeter can produce a huge, visible error when a books hundreds of pages are displayed together.Despite Zhangs efforts, dragon scale bookbinding remains an endangered art. But Ying Kwok, founder of the Art Appraisal Club, is encouraged by growing efforts in
23、China to preserve the countrys cultural heritage.

27、C. Approving. D. Forgiving.CA 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 tiny machine is the size of a fa
28、t 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 J said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the
29、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 J he said.They engineere
30、d 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 everything its connected to,“ said Wood.
31、 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 fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal i
32、s eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers5 fields or on the battlefield. Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around J he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechani
33、cs 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 difficult with the animals, but using thes
34、e robots instead J 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.”28. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?A. They did not have sufficient fund.B. N
35、o ready-made components were available.C. There was no model in their mind.D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.29. What do we know about the robotic fly?A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.C. The rob
36、otic fly can collect information from many sources.D. The robotic fly can fly well with the cooperation of individual components.30. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic fly can replace animals in some experiments.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
37、C. The robotic fly is designed to learn about insects.D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The development of robotic flyB. Robotic fly promotes engineering scienceC. Harvards efforts in making robotic flyD. Robotic fly imitates real life
38、insectDToday, people cooperate(合作)closely with those from different countries and cultures. Cultural diversity in a company can bring individual and organizational benefits, open peoples minds to new approaches,and help them be more creative; on the other hand, it also presents challenges that come
39、from using a foreign language.No matter how well we understand and speak a foreign language, its really hard for us to reach the level that we have in our mother tongue(母语).When people who have different mother tongues use a language that they do not feel as competent in as their own, language becom
40、es a barrier that prevents effective communication. Meanwhile, difficulty in speaking or poor language knowledge is often considered to be a lack of competence and professionalism, which is not true. On a broader and more emotional level, all this causes greater difficulty in establishing relationsh
41、ips of mutual(互相的)trust, making cooperation between the groups more difficult and success less likely.Behind every language, there is a system of different values and beliefs.These make up the culture of each language. For international teams, it is necessary to have a broader attitude and be able t
42、o accept and understand different cultures. Improving intercultural communication skills means building and training awareness of oneself and others. This is done by reflecting on differences actively and learning about individuals who speak a different language and have different values and habits.
43、It s impossible to completely eliminate the language barrier when people use a foreign language. Linguistic吾言的)and cultural differences will always exist. To better deal with a multicultural working team, it is essential to acquire and maintain awareness of the limits and strengths of the language.
44、We need to pay attention to the cultural diversity present in the team and to the misunderstandings that could arise, making efforts to use communication strategies that are as inclusive and comprehensive as possible.32.
