But it was the boxfish (盒子鱼)that interested them.“We were surprised when this clumsy－looking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空气动力学的)car”，says Thomas Weber. He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler. An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency.The boxfish may look clumsy， but it can start， stop，back up and zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimler's bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fish's boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system. Like the fish， the car is fast and drives easily. It's efficient too.The science behind nature－inspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As co－founder of the Biomimicry Guild， she has worked with cereal companies，sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Nature's best ideas.This month，the Nature's 100 Best List will be revealed at the World Conservation Congress (代表大会)in Barcelona，Spain. Benyus co－authored the list of nature－inspired designs with economist Gunter Pauli.In Zimbabwe，a country in southern Africa，engineers designed energy－efficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆). The buildings use vents (孔) to keep the air flowing and the temperature cool.A company in Atlanta，US，developed a self－cleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花)leaf. When the paint dries，it becomes bumpy (不平的)，just like the lotus leaf. Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off，carrying dirt along with them.Nature has done billions of years of research. Only the best－designed products have survived. Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that hard work，says Benyus.For scientists and inventors， the possibilities for copying nature are limitless. Technology may never be as efficient as nature， or as colorful. But that doesn't mean we should stop trying to learn from the world around us. Take a walk outside. Watch a squirrel climb up a tree. Look closely at the veins (纹理)of a leaf. Hear the birds chirping in the trees. Such small details may help solve big problems in the future.16．Which is TRUE according to the passage？A．In America a self－cleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower.B．Zimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems.C．After the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature.D．Nature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.17．The clumsy－looking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons EXCEPT that________.A．it swims using little energyB．being boxy， it looks quite like a carC．some engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water D．it is a speedy swimmer18．Why did top engineers in Germany go to the natural history museum？A．They wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely.B．They wanted to carry out a research of boxfish and dolphins.C．They wanted to search for a model to base on for building a more－efficient car.D．They wanted to study the science of survival.19．We can infer all of the following from the passage EXCEPT ________.A．it is believed that the creation of the airplane might have originated from the bird flying in the skyB．the atmosphere on the earth cannot be transferred into the original idea C．dolphins and sharks may become the source of scientists，inventions or creationsD．if you observe and explore nature，you may make great discoveries or become great inventors20．What's the main idea of the passage？A．How Daimler's bionic car came into being.B．Nature has inspired a lot of inventions and will continue to.C．Scientists and inventors' contribution to modern industry comes from nature.D．The Nature's 100 Best List.BIf cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen， beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia， based in Woburn， Massachusetts， says it plans todeliver its car－plane， the Transition， to customers by the end of 2012.“It's the next ‘wow’ vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari， but as we say，Ferraris don't fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies， although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations， and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports： You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land， you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.The car－plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds， including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transition's price tag： $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio， transponder or GPS. Another option is a full－plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation， it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.So far，the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We're working very closely with them， but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.21．We can learn from the first paragraph that________.A．car－planes will be popular in 2012B．people might drive a car－plane in 2012C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts22．It takes the car－plane one minute to________.A．fold and unfold its wingsB．unfold wings for flyingC．land in the airportD．meet flying safety regulations23．According to the passage， which of the following is NOT true？A．The car－plane needs a runway to take off and land.B．To meet aircraft regulations， the company has been working with FAA.C．The car－plane may fly as high as normal planes.D．People can park the car－plane in the garage at their home.24．The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to________.A．the radio B．the transponderC．the GPS D．the full－plane parachute25．What's the best title for the passage？A．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner B．Which To Choose： A Ferrari Or A Car－Plane？C．A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly D．Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane课时作业(二十三)Ⅰ.1.B考查交际用语。
