13、 I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash,
14、and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a busine
15、ss model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

B解析这是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述作者发明无袋吸尘器的经历,揭示了“失败为成功之母”的道理。4题详解细节理解题。根据文章第一段末尾句内容“I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine
21、 worked, I decided to make a bagless one.( 我讨厌换真空吸尘器的袋子,讨厌把吸尘器吸不进去的东西捡起来。二十年后,也就是1978年,我对这台机器的工作方式一直很反感,于是决定做一台无袋的。)”可知,对于真空吸尘器的反感导致了作者研制一种无袋吸尘器。故选D项。5题详解主旨大意题。通读文章第二段内容,可知其段落结构为总分总结构,首句内容“Easier said than done, of course.( 当然,说起来容易做起来难。)”和末尾句内容“These were tough times, but each failure brought me cl
22、oser to solving the problem.( 这是艰难的时刻,但每一次失败都让我离解决问题更近了一步。)”点明本段主旨要义,即:作者发明无袋吸尘器过程中遇到的一些困难。选项C.

23、a, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.( 主要的吸尘器制造商建立了一种基于包装袋和过滤器利润的商业模式。没有人会批准我的想法,不是因为它不好,而是因为它不利于生意。)”可知,没人会认可作者的想法是因为真空吸尘器的包装袋和过滤器能够给商家带来盈利,而作者发明的无袋吸尘器会使商家失去原有的能够带来盈利的部分,因此商家担心其不能带来盈利反而可能会导致损失。故选A项。7题详解推理判断题。作者在文章末尾点明主旨,揭示道理:Today, I still embrace risk and the potent
24、ial for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.( 今天,我仍然接受风险和失败的可能性作为过程的一部分。没有什么能比得上发明带来的兴奋。)可知,作者的“无袋吸尘器”发明经历使他明白了风险和失败在发明过程中是可能存在的。选项B.

Those adjustments allow birds to cut through the sky more flexibly than rigid drones (无人机).
26、 Now, using new insights into exactly how pigeons joints control the spread of their wing feathers, researchers have built a robotic pigeon. This research paves the way for creating more light aircraft, says Dario Floreano, a roboticist in Switzerland not involved in the work.“Whats really cool abou
27、t this robot is that you can make adjustments in a robotic wing that you could never do when studying flight in a bird”, says David Lentink, an engineer and biologist at Stanford University. A controllable robotic pigeon solves that problem. In flight tests, entinks team observed that bending only t
28、he fingers of one wing eased the robot into a banked turn-offering the first evidence that birds may sometimes use just their fingers to direct in flight. In a second study, Lentinks group used their robotic wing design to confirm another insight into bird flight: how gaps are prevented from forming
29、 between feathers on extended wings.This is the best set of robotic wings yet for testing how birds adjust their flight feathers to move through the air, says Tyson Hedrick, a biomechanist.
