(10 points)Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do，mine. Her name was Mrs. White. And I 1 thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disneys Snow White， 2 she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin.I dont remember much about what we 3 in her class，but my mother once told me that we used to 4 a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many 5 But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes 6 a Good! But it 7 my mother， so one day when she met Mrs. White at a Parent-Teacher meeting，she asked her why she never 8 my mistakes and why she never red-pencilled in the right 9 of words or pointed out grammatical errors.And Mrs. White said “The children are just beginning to get 10 about using words，about forming sentences. I dont want to dampen that enthusiasm with 11 ink. Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words 12 ” I grew up learning to use words with loving 13 like that.I 14 now and think she must have been a rather 15 teacher to exercise such red-pen restraint (克制)，to 16 the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower however faultily like that，because to bloom is better than not to bloom.I used to 17 beautiful a lot. Never could I quite remember that the e went 18 the a. Eventually the e and a settled into their right places. I am glad I didnt wait on them though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesnt hold as much as you 19 sometimes.And thanks to Mrs. White I felt no 20 about writing what I meant even if I couldnt quite spell it out. Because Life isnt Pretty. Its Beautiful.1、AregretBrememberCconsiderDsuggest2、AbecauseBunlessCwhetherDuntil3、AadmiredBbelievedCcollectedD1earned4、AanalyzeBcountCwriteDeat5、AdelaysBescapesCexercisesDmistakes6、AevenBstillCeverDnever7、ArelievedBworriedC1imitedDmentioned8、AmeasuredBmindedCcorrectedDimproved9、AspellingsBpositionsCrepliesDreports10、AexaminedBdisappointedCexcitedDpunished11、AredBextraCcolourDheavy12、AshouldBwillCmustntDwont13、AindependenceBcalmnessCknowledgeDconfidence14、A1ook upB1ook awayC1ook backD1ook over15、AcalmBcarefulCthoroughDextraordinary16、AallowBarrangeCremindDrequire17、AmistakeBmisunderstandCmisspellDmisuse18、AbeforeBafterCforDwithout19、AdeserveBmeanCobtainDplan20、AwonderBdifficultyCintentionDchoiceSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

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 help 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 alter 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 Atoms 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 overlapping 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 about 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 quantities 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 sa
