The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting. But did you ever stop to think how the same techniques might be applied to engineering? Equipment that could be of real practical use? Origami meets the demand for things that need to be small when transported and large when they arrive, like the everyday umbrella. In fact, origamiinspired creations have already flown in space。 in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map. 39。It39。s now mathematically proven that you can pretty much fold anything, says physicist Robert J. Lang, who quit his engineering job eight years ago to fold things full time. Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard. He is currently working on a space telescope lens that, if all goes according to plan, should be able to unfold to the size of a football field. At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could lead to breakthroughs in medicine and puting. There39。s no doubt that puters of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory. Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine. Some day, says MIT39。s Erik Demaine, we39。ll build reconfigurable (可重構(gòu)的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers. Too much like science fiction to be true? Maybe—though you certainly wouldn39。t want to bet against it.（1）What do we know about origami? A.It consumes lots of time.B.It involves interesting ideas.C.It requires plex techniques.D.It has to do with cutting and pasting.（2）Which of the following is an application of origami? A.A space telescope lens can be folded to the size of an umbrella.B.A satellite is equipped with solar panels and a folded map.C.An airbag can be better folded into a dashboard of a car.D.A future puter contains many huge folded motors.（3）What is Erik Demaine39。s attitude towards origami engineering? A.HopefulB.Doubtful.C.Disapproving.D.Ambiguous.（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A.Entertainment.B.Culture.C.Education.D.Popscience.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，折紙是一種具有創(chuàng)造性的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，而現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)被應(yīng)用到技術(shù)工程領(lǐng)域，人們利用折紙?jiān)韯?chuàng)造出了很多可折疊的裝置。折紙工程將在很大程度上影響未來(lái)的醫(yī)藥、計(jì)算機(jī)和機(jī)器人行業(yè)。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.”可知，折紙是一個(gè)具有創(chuàng)造性的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，我們不用裁剪或拼貼，只通過(guò)折疊就可以把一張正方形或者三角形的紙變成動(dòng)物、紙盒、花、船等東西，由此推測(cè)折紙需要有創(chuàng)造性的和有趣的想法。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.”可知折紙愛(ài)好者Lang向一位制造商建議了把安全氣囊折疊到儀表盤(pán)中的最佳方式。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine”可知Erik Demaine認(rèn)為折紙工程的應(yīng)用遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了我們的想象，由此可推測(cè)Erik Demaine對(duì)折紙工程的未來(lái)充滿希望。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.”；第三段中的“Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.”； 第四段中的“There39。s no doubt that puters of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory. ”和第五段中的“‘Some day,’ says MIT39。s Erik Demaine, ‘we39。ll build reconfigurable (可重構(gòu)的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers.’”可知衛(wèi)星，安全氣囊的折疊，未來(lái)電腦的發(fā)展和未來(lái)可重構(gòu)機(jī)器人，這些都和科學(xué)技術(shù)相關(guān)，故推測(cè)本文很有可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙的科學(xué)板塊。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Regardless of how far we39。d like to believe gender(性別) equality in the workplace has e, there39。s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hol
