9．Humans might be the most highly-evolved species on the planet，but most animals possess skills we can only dream of having．Imagine how much electricity we could save if we could see in the dark the way cats do．Imagine leaping from tree to tree like a monkey．Giraffes，which are otherwise calm and good-natured，sleep only 4.6hours a day．
We realized a long，long time ago that nature provides the best blueprint for invention．We've borrowed canals from beavers and reflectors from cat's eyes．Although the words"bionics"（仿生学） became popular only after the 1960s，history shows that nature has always provided ideas on solving everyday problems．Our archives（档案） don't go back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his bird-like flying machines，but we can take you to the late 19th century，where we applied those same principles for building our first practical airplanes．
To prepare for their flight at Kitty Hawk，the Wright brothers studied the movements of pigeons to figure out how they stayed high up when they were heavier than air．Their success inspired scores of successors to improve on the airplane by studying various aspects of nature．One of Orville Wright's pupils caught and stuffed seagulls to examine their wingspan．Meanwhile，two French inventors examined spinning sycamore（梧桐） seeds in an effort to apply those same motions，reversed，to a helicopter．
Some examples are more obvious than others．The outside of the airplane designed by the Wright brothers looks like a minimalistic（简单抽象艺术） structure．On the other hand，Barney Connett's fish submarine actually looks like a fish．
Some bio-inspired concepts have yet to be invented．In the 1960s，the US Army commissioned several university professors to conduct research on the motor skills animals in hope of applying those same abilities to tanks．Tanks that run like horses or jump like grasshoppers（蚂蚱）-sounds shocking，doesn't it？But imagine how life would change if we could achieve that．
63．"Cats"，"monkeys"and"giraffes"mentioned in paragraph 1are examples to showB．
A．they are highly-evolved species as humans
B．animals have skills that humans do not possess
C．humans can learn animals'skills
D．they are skillful in different ways
64．What happened after the Wright brothers'success？B
A．People carried out a systematic study on pigeons．
B．People studied more animals and plants to develop the airplane．
C．People could fly their airplane for fun．
D．People kept their airplane at a French gallery．
65．Which of the following is true about the research carried out by the US Army？D
A．It has cost a large sum of money．
B．It has changed our life．
C．It has improved the abilities of tanks
D．It has not succeeded yet．
66．What does the writer want to tell in the passage？A

C．People should protect nature．
D．Bionics is far from perfect． 试题答案

阅读理解
Although I started learning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”. We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.”In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.
I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.
To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.
