18、eir high-tech equipment.B“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyons edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like got it done, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield Universi
19、ty, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has jus
20、t found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students memory of the tour was t
21、ested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.When people rely on technology to remember them counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselve
22、s, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that w
23、erent in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldnt reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the
24、photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.24. Why did the author m
25、ention Henkels trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?A. To complain about some tourists bad habits.B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy ones tour.C. To point out peoples obsession with taking pictures.D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.25. What can we learn from Henkels stud

Its clear that a new generation of young,materialistic p
29、eople is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.I am a fashionist too,at least in spiritI love to look at clothes and shoes.But I dont understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary,thats a s
30、cary thing.Whats interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesnt lead to happiness.Study after study has shown that although we want material things,when we get them we dont suddenly become “happy” people.In fact,a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of C
31、olorado,US,has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.Thas because experiences are more easily integrated into a persons identity.If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. M
32、y memories become a part of me.Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things“ are liked less by their peers.People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.Its natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So, my advice is: create
33、a look that isnt tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people. successful people, have

38、ies about luxuries and happiness.DThere is a breakthrough in building aircrafts. Bendable wings covered with overlapping(部分重叠) pieces resembling fish sizes could be used to build swifter, fuel-efficient aircraft, a new study finds.Nowadays, conventional aircrafts typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to h
39、elp control the way the planes tip as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago, they used no ailerons but wires and pulleys that twisted the wood-and-canvas wings, to control the plane,Scientists have long sought to develop aircrafts that can a
40、lter their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable, said Neil Gershenfeld, a physicist and director of the Center for Bits and At
41、oms at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).The new wing consists of a system of tiny, strong, lightweight modules. The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. These wings are covered in “skins” of ov
42、erlapping strips of flexible material resembling fish sizes. These strips move across each other as the wings alter, providing a smooth outer surface, the researchers explained.Wind-tunnel tests of these wings showed that they at least matched the aerodynamic properties of conventional wings, at abo
43、ut one-tenth the weight. Initial tests using remotely piloted aircrafts made with these wings have shown great promise, said Benjamin Jenett, a graduate student at the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT.The new modular structures the scientists developed could be manufactured quickly in mass quantitie
44、s and then installed by teams of small robots. These modular structures also can be disassembled more easily, making repairs simpler.“Still, the first aircraft built using this strategy will not be a passenger jet, ”Gershenfeld said. “Instead, the technology will likely first be tested on unmanned a
45、ircraft, leading to drones (无人机) that can fly for a long time, to help deliver internet access or medicine to remote villages and do some rescue works.”32. Why did most previous aircrafts fail to fly like birds?A. The previous wings were complicated and weighed a lot.B. The previous aircraft relied
46、on ailerons to control directions.C. There were few scientists to do research on the lighter wings.D. There was little fuel in the aircrafts to make them fly in the air.33. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The shape of the new wings. B. The result of the tested wings.C. The function of t
47、he small motors. D. The working principle of the new wings.34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“disassembled”in Paragraph 6?A. put away B. taken apart C. invented D. analyzed35. What will the drones made by the new wings be firstly used to do?A. Carry passengers. B. Save people
48、 in danger. C. Test planes. D. Monitor the villages.第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to Host an Eco-Friendly CookoutEating in the open air may feel eco-friendly, but outdoor dining can result in unnecessary waste if you arent careful. _36_.
