Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.

As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.

Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.

The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.

Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said. 4. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin? A. Roh’s admiration for them. B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.

C. Their outstanding talent for science. D. Their similar achievements in discovery. 5. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?

A. The air weight. B. Its leg extension.

C. The water movement. D. Its continuous wingbeat. 6. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Fast flight B. Driving force. C. Pulling speed. D. Explosive power. 7. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Honeybees can surf to safety. B. Bees help scientists make inventions.

C. Insects can adapt to the environment. D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

C

If you think you’d like to live on Mars, you may have that possibility by 2023. A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing (开拓) Mars. Ifyou have all the necessary skills, you could be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge?

You won’t have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.

The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know it’s quite possible because something similar has already been done inAntarctica.

Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied people’s reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.

Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure. Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested? 8. What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs? A. They will land on Mars in 2023. B. They can get money from donors.

C. They will compete in a TV show. D. They do not need special skills.

9. What will the first colonists do to solve the basic living problems on Mars? A. Create earth-like conditions. B. Build labs inAntarctica. C. Spin the spaceship. D. Start the Mars500Mission.

10. What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage? A. Difficult and dangerous. B. Different but adaptable. C. Challenging and unbearable . D. Acceptable but depressing. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Mars: our final destination? B. Ready to be Mars’ colonists? C. Space travel: a thrilling adventure? D. Are you a qualified Mars astronaut?

Las Vegascity inNevadais built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.

Now, the city is asking theNevadastate legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place inAmericato ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.

It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass inLas Vegasand it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.

In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $ 30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southernNevadaby 9% since 2019. And last year,Las Vegaswent a record 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much ofNevada's drinking water. The river could lose

more water as climate change affects it.

Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones inLas Vegasif their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city ofPhoenixinArizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They'll say that is the point of no return for them,”Campbellsaid. “For some people, it's a pool. For some people, it's grass.”

12. Why doesLas Vegascity try to ban useless grass?

A. To protect the local people. B. To beautify the city. C. To reduce water usage. D. To reduce waste. 13. What program was carried out inLas Vegasin 2003? A. Allowing planting grass before new houses. B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass. C. Praising those who signed on the program. D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.

14. What is implied inCampbell's words in the last paragraph? A. Many residents won't follow the ban. B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally. C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter. D. Water officials should take many factors into account. 15. What is the best title for the text? A.Las VegasPlans to Ban Useless Grass B. A Method Is Adopted to SaveLas Vegas C. Choices between Beauty and Practice D. Grass Is Important but Useless inLas Vegas
