【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 s . ”（Naomi為年輕人和成年人寫詩，但她還是雜文，兒童圖畫書，歌曲和青少年小說的作者。）可知，Naomi的寫作范圍很廣，因此推斷他寫了許多作品，是一個“多產(chǎn)的”作家。故選B。25. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“She sees poetry in the details of everyday life, like the way things smell or taste, the sounds of nature, the voices of her family, and the colors of a flower or a bird39。s wing or a strawberry. ”(她在日常生活的細節(jié)中尋找詩歌創(chuàng)作的靈感。例如：事物的氣味或味道，大自然的聲音，家人的聲音以及花，鳥的翅膀或草莓的顏色。)可知，Naomi通過觀察她周圍的世界得到了寫作的想法。故選A。26. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中“She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, US。 Jerusalem Israel。 and San Antonio, Texas, US. ”(她曾在美國密蘇里州的圣路易斯，以色列的耶路撒冷以及美國德克薩斯州的圣安東尼奧生活并長大。)及文章第四段中“Today, Naomi has settled down in San Antonio.”(現(xiàn)在，Naomi已經(jīng)定居在圣安東尼奧。)可知，圣安東尼奧是美國德克薩斯州的城市。因此Naomi現(xiàn)生活在美國德克薩斯州。故選C。C It is being more and more important for researchers to closely observe our sea life, with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans. However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures, but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries.Built by MIT39。s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the snowwhite remotecontrolled robot closely emulates real fish, plete with a flexible tail and two fins. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to observe the oceans, SoFi solves many of the issues that have hindered (妨礙)the usefulness of previous robots.AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency munications do not work well underwater. To solve the problem, CSAIL director Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances, allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. To ensure SoFi can freely move around the ocean, a pump moves water from one balloonlike structure to the other through its soft rubber tail, while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean, unhindered by propellers (螺旋槳).During test dives in Fiji39。s Rainbow Reef, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking highresolution photos and videos. Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strangelooking robo fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared pletely unaware of its existence.While SoFi currently only records videos, future versions will include sensors. For us, this fish is magical, says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.27. Why was SoFi created?A.

The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strangelooking robofish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared pletely unaware of its existence. (更重要的是，機器魚SoFi能夠靠近魚類拍攝照片和視頻而不會引起任何干擾。研究人員說，有時候出于好奇這些魚會和看起來奇怪的機器魚一起游泳，而在其他時候，它們似乎完全不知道它的存在。)可知，在機器魚SoFi工作的時候，它不會打擾到魚類的活動即不會嚇走真正的魚，這是它的主要優(yōu)勢。故選A。DEven a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say.“It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（強度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial,” said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research.Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years。 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on selfreporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable.For each study participants were split into four equalsized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and
