(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·成都第二次诊断)A team of engineers at Harvard University created the first robotic fly. 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.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to，” said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering 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 insectscale. 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 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 daytoday basis.”【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。哈佛大学的工程师团队研制出了首个机器苍蝇飞行器，该飞行器虽然尺寸如苍蝇大小，但结构复杂，有望在未来执行搜救点、农田、战场的数据收集任务。1．What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?A．It’s automatic.B．It’s very small.C．It’s controllable.D．It’s quite powerful.B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“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.”

Dear fellow students，
I'm very glad to have a discussion at our class meeting about whether our school

Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions.
Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are
getting cheaper.Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does
welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example.That’s more affordable than the $25 per hour
that a human welder earns today in America.
Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don’t need a driver
in the driver’s seat.According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers
were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6.8 million others were employed in other jobs relating
to trucking activity.So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking

Imagine you enter a car with no steering wheel or no brake. Under a
voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.
3 minutes. Should I take it? ” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car
responds (做出回应)and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit
back and relax.
How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car?
No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected
and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police
enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets(预算) without all those speeding and parking
tickets.
A new technology has the possibility to change modern society thoroughly.
There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be good. The accident
