Hummingbirds(蜂鳥(niǎo)) are one of nature’s most energetic fliers and the only birds to hover(盤旋) in the air by relying on their strength alone.

Now scientists have found that it is the ratio(比值) of the bird’s wing length to its width that makes them so efficient. The discovery is helping experts compete with 42 million years of natural selection to build helicopters that are increasingly efficient.

David Lentink, an assistant professor at Stanford University in California, tested wings from 12 different species of hummingbirds, which he sourced from museums. He placed them on a machine used to test the aerodynamics(氣力學(xué)) of the helicopter blades(槳葉). Professor Lentink’s team used the same machine to test the blades from an advanced micro-helicopter used by the UK’s army. They found that the micro-helicopter’s blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbirds.

But while the micro-helicopter’s blades kept pace with the average hummingbird wings, they could not keep up with the most efficient hummingbird’s wing. The wings of Anna’s hummingbird were found to be about 27 percent more efficient than the man-made micro- helicopter’s blades.

While Professor Lentink wasn’t surprised at nature’s superiority, he said that helicopter blades have come a long way. “The technology is at the level of an average hummingbird,” he said. “A helicopter is really the most efficient hovering device that we can build. The best hummingbirds are still better, but I think it’s amazing that we’re getting closer. It’s not easy to match their performance, but if we build better wings with better shapes, we might match hummingbirds.”

Professor Lentink said that we don’t know how hummingbirds maintain their flight in a strong wind, how they navigate(確定方向) through branches, or how they change direction so quickly. He thinks that great steps could be made by studying wing aspect ratios-the ratio of wing length to wing width. Understanding these abilities and characteristics could be a benefit for robotics and will be the focus of future experiments.

1.What did the scientists find about hummingbirds?

A. Their wings are long and wide

B. They can hover in the air for a long time

C. The ratio of their wing length to wing width is very important

D. They are the most energetic flier in nature

2.Which is the right order of Professor Lentink’s research?

①Tested wings from different species of hummingbirds

②Got resources from museums

③Analyzed the results and drew a conclusion

④Tested the blades from a micro-helicopter

A. ①②③④ B. ②①③④

C. ②④①③ D. ②①④③

3.According to Professor Lentink, what will be the focus of future experiments?

A. To know how hummingbirds can fly in a strong wind

B. To know how hummingbirds change direction so quickly

C. To develop a new kind of helicopter

D. To study the secrets of hummingbirds

The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and, in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”

Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet , which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.

1.What can we learn about the New England Currant?

A. It is mainly about the stock market.

B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.

C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.

D. It comes articles by political leaders.

2.What can we infer about the newspaper editors?

A. They often accept readers' suggestions

B. They care a lot about each other’s health.

C. They stop doing business with advertisers.

D. They face great difficulties in their business.

3.Which of the following found a new way for its development?

A. The Washington Post B. The Guardian

C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant

4.How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?

A. Satisfied B. Hopeful

C. Worried D. Surprised

When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 懸崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知覺(jué)的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.

It was ,as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇跡)”.

1.The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was

A. rescuing her owner B. caught in a hurricane

C. blocked by a rock D. running after a sheep

2.Who spotted Judy after the accident?

A. A birdwatcher

B. A student from Leeds

C. Six volunteers

D. The coastguard of Cornwall

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. People like to travel with their pets.

B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.

C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.

D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Miracle of the Coastguard.

B. Surviving a Hurricane.

根據(jù)材料并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)回答問(wèn)題 。（15分）

材料一 在美國(guó)憲法的制定過(guò)程中，一些政治家認(rèn)為，“人民”和“人民的代表”（國(guó)會(huì)）是不同的；“人民”高于“人民的代表”；“由人民制定、政府不能更改的”憲法高于“由政府制定、政府能夠更改的”普通法律；國(guó)會(huì)的立法如果違憲，“自然不能使之生效”。根據(jù)這些理論，最高法院有權(quán)審查國(guó)會(huì)立法和總統(tǒng)行政命令是否符合憲法。但是，1787年美國(guó)憲法沒(méi)有相關(guān)規(guī)定，即未建立起司法審查制度。在初期美國(guó)政府中，既無(wú)財(cái)權(quán)、軍權(quán)又無(wú)民意基礎(chǔ)的最高法院的地位明顯低于總統(tǒng)和國(guó)會(huì)。

——摘編自（美）漢密爾頓等《聯(lián)邦黨人文集》

材料二 1803年，最高法院對(duì)“馬伯里訴麥迪遜案”做出判決：法院不能行使憲法沒(méi)有授予的權(quán)力，國(guó)會(huì)通過(guò)的立法如果違背憲法則無(wú)效。該判例確立了最高法院有權(quán)審查國(guó)會(huì)立法或總統(tǒng)行政命令是否違憲的司法審查制度，從而使最高法院足以與國(guó)會(huì)或總統(tǒng)相制衡。

——摘編自（美）伯納德 施瓦茨《美國(guó)法律史》

（1）根據(jù)材料一并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)，概括美國(guó)創(chuàng)立司法審查制度的理論基礎(chǔ)。（7分）

（2）根據(jù)材料一、二并結(jié)合所學(xué)知識(shí)，說(shuō)明“馬伯里訴麥迪遜案”對(duì)于美國(guó)民主制度的影響。（8分）
