【解析】

本文为记叙文。文章主要叙述了足球的历史。蹴鞠大约是在公元前500年在中国发展起来的,当时用的是皮球。它被国际足联认为是最早的足球形式。汉代,蹴鞠的普及从军队传到宫廷和上层社会。据说南武帝很喜欢这项运动。蹴鞠比赛常在皇宫内举行。唐代得到进一步发展,并逐渐在世界范围内流行。宋代的蹴鞠运动最为发达。

1考查形容词最高级。句意:公元前500年左右,中国发明了蹴鞠,当时用的是皮球。它被国际足联认为是最早的足球形式。根据语境可知,此处是指蹴鞠是足球最早的形式,故要用最高级,故填earliest

2考查谓语动词的时态及语态。汉代,蹴鞠的流行从军队传播到宫廷和上层社会。分析句子可知,本空是谓语动词,其中的主语是蹴鞠,与动词spread二者是主动关系,此处的时间状语是“汉代”,要用一般过去时,动词spread的过去时,还是spread。故填spread

3考查谓语动词。句意:据说南朝武帝很喜欢这项运动。根据语境可知, “南朝武帝很喜欢这项运动”,既可以是现在大家说的,也可以是过去说的,所以既可用一般现在时,又可以用一般过去时。此处是主语从句,其中的it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的that从句。T主语从句“that Emperor Wu of nan enjoyed the sport.”与动词said是被动关系,是被说,因此要用被动语态。故填is/was said

4考查名词复数。句意:蹴鞠比赛常在故宫内举行。根据本句国的副词“often”可知 “蹴鞠比赛”不指一次,有许多次,可数名词match要用复数形式,故填matches

5考查介词。句意:蹴鞠运动在唐代得到进一步发展。根据语境可指蹴鞠运动在唐代得到进一步发展。此时可用“in/during”,故填in/during

6考查定语从句。句意:在当时的帝国首都长安,有几十个组织良好的蹴鞠联盟。分析句子可知,本句是定语从句,其中的Chang'an是先行词,在定语从句中做主语,非限制性定语从句中做主语,指物,要用which,故填which

7考查强调句型。句意:在这个时代,韩国和日本也有类似的游戏。分析句子可知,本句是强调句型“it is/was + 被强调部分+that +剩余部分”,句强调了时间状语during this age,去掉“It is/was...that...”后句子是完整的。故填It

8考查状语。句意:也就是在这个时期,类似的游戏在韩国和日本开始流行,并逐渐在世界范围内流行。分析句子可知,空格处在句中修饰副词worldwide,修饰副词要用副词,故填gradually

9考查形容词。句意:当时,职业的蹴鞠运动员颇受欢迎。分析句子可知,本空格在句中作定语,修饰名词Cuju players,修饰名词要用形容词,故填professional

10考查固定搭配。句意:一组是由皇家宫廷训练和表演的,另一组是以蹴鞠为生的有才华的平民运动员。“make a living”为固定搭配,意为“以......为生”。故填living

【题目】Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

To many of us, the bilateral symmetry(左右对称) that characterizes the human face and the animal kingdom may be one of the first impressions we get of the world. If you reflect the left half of the face or body in a mirror, you obtain something that closely 1 the right half. Bilateral symmetry is so common that it could 2 be due to chance. If you think of the human body as a collection of some ten thousand trillion molecules, then there are countless ways to combine them into non-symmetrical shapes than into symmetrical ones. Why is it, then, that bilateral symmetry is so common? Given that all life on Earth slowly 3 through natural selection, the fact that we and many animals possess left-right symmetry, not, say, up-down or front-back symmetry, must have somehow 4 certain advantages. But how?

We can understand at least some parts of this natural “engineering” 5 by considering some simple physical principles. First, on the surface of the Earth, the Earth’s gravity introduces a 6 difference between up and down. Animals had to be able to remain stable and to cope with their weight under Earth’s perpetual downward pull. The ability to move further enhanced the difference between top and bottom.On one hand, birds had to handle the aerodynamics of flying, and on the other, be able to handle landing. Land animals had to develop some “mechanical” appendages (in other words, legs) to allow them to 7 themselves efficiently.

Animal locomotion was probably also 8 for the front-back asymmetry. Whether it was a bird, or a fish, having the sensory organs and the mouth in the front could mean the difference between finding lunch or missing it. The digestive and reproductive systems were pushed to the rear. Having eyes, ears, and noses in the front was also 9 for the avoidance of predators, and for the ability to explore an area before actually entering it. Life 10 that are fixed in one place or that move very slowly, such as trees or jellyfish, tend to have a different kind of symmetry, similar to that of a cone(球果) — they produce similar reflections in any mirror passing through their central axis.

【题目】 Pigeons (鸽子) may be considered mice of the sky, but some scientists have found greater value in these urban birds: the blueprint for a new generation of flying machines.

Birds can transform the shape of their wings by fanning out their feathers or moving them closer together. Those adjustments allow birds to cut through the sky more flexibly than rigid drones (无人机). Now, using new insights into exactly how pigeons ‘joints control the spread of their wing feathers, researchers have built a robotic pigeon. This research paves the way for creating more light aircraft, says Dario Floreano, a roboticist in Switzerland not involved in the work.

“What’s really cool about this robot is that you can make adjustments in a robotic wing that you could never do when studying flight in a bird”, says David Lentink, an engineer and biologist at Stanford University. A controllable robotic pigeon solves that problem. In flight tests, Lentink’s team observed that bending only the fingers of one wing eased the robot into a banked turn-offering the first evidence that birds may sometimes use just their fingers to direct in flight. In a second study, Lentink’s group used their robotic wing design to confirm another insight into bird flight: how gaps are prevented from forming between feathers on extended wings.

This is the best set of robotic wings yet for testing how birds adjust their flight feathers to move through the air, says Tyson Hedrick, a biomechanist. But “there’s plenty of room for improvement.” For instance, a future flying robot could include a shoulder joint to investigate how waving a bird’s wings up and down influences flight, he says.

1What is the newly-found worth of pigeons?

A.They help study other species.

B.They protect other urban birds.

C.They provide proof of mice’s harm.

D.They inspire a new aircraft.

2What is Dario Floreano’s attitude to the research?

A.Negative.B.Positive.

C.Neutral.D.Critical.

3What do the underlined words “that problem” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Pigeons in flight can hardly be observed.

B.People can’t make adjustments in birds’ wings.

C.It is difficult for pigeons to make a banked turn.

D.Pigeons fail to control the spread of their wing feathers.

4Where does the text probably come from?

A.A travel journal.

B.A travel brochure.

C.A science fiction.

D.A science magazine.
