Read the passage and complete the tasks.（10分） Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin Scientists from the UK have created “the world’s smallest violin”. The violin is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The researchers wondered if they could use a new kind of nanotechnology (纳米技术) to test the limits of how small a violin could actually be created. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. A micron is one millionth of a meter. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair. The “nano-violin” wasn’t designed to be played. So what was the point? Physics professor Kelly Morrison, who led the project, says that “At first, we were just interested in how small a violin could be,” but the work they finally did is actually very important and creative for their research. In recent decades, computers and other technology have become faster as the parts inside devices have become smaller. Building and studying tiny things helps scientists test new ideas and materials. The whole process of making the violin took about three hours. But it took the researchers several months to develop the methods they used to create it. Now that they’ve made the nano-violin, the researchers plan to use their system to study more serious things. For example, they’re looking at new ways to store information, and how to use heat to make computers work faster and use less energy. Task 1: Answer the questions.（回答问题） 45. How can the tiny violin be seen? __________________________________________________________ 46. Why did scientists build and study extremely small things? __________________________________________________________ 47. How long did the whole process of making the tiny violin take? __________________________________________________________ 48. What do the researchers plan to do after they’ve made the nano-violin? __________________________________________________________ 49. Do you think the nano-violin is a great invention? Why? __________________________________________________________ Task 2: Writing 50. Tiny things like nanobots (纳米机器人) are very useful in our daily life. What can we use nanobots to do? Write about 30 words to explain. __________________________________________________________ 【答案】45. It can only be seen with a powerful microscope. 46. Because building and studying tiny things helps scientists test new ideas and materials. 47. It took about three hours. 48. They plan to use their system to study more serious things. 49. Yes, I do. Because it helps scientists test new ideas and materials. (答案不唯一) 50. We can use nanobots to do many things. For example, doctors can put them into our bodies to find and kill bad cells, helping us stay healthy and cure diseases. (答案不唯一) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了英国科学家利用纳米技术制造出世界上最小的小提琴，这项研究不仅源于好奇，更有助于科学家测试新想法和材料，后续还将用于更重要的研究。 【45题详解】 根据文章第1段“The violin is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope.”可推知这把小提琴只能用高倍显微镜才能看到。故填It can only be seen with a powerful microscope. 【46题详解】 根据文章第3段“Building and studying tiny things helps scientists test new ideas and materials.”可推知制造和研究极小的东西能帮助科学家测试新想法和材料。故填Because building and studying tiny things helps scientists test new ideas and materials. 【47题详解】 根据文章第4段“The whole process of making the violin took about three hours.”可推知制作这把小提琴的整个过程大约花了三个小时。故填It took about three hours. 【48题详解】 根据文章第5段“Now that they’ve made the nano-violin, the researchers plan to use their system to study more serious things.”可推知研究人员计划用他们的系统研究更重要的事情。故填They plan to use their system to study more serious things. 【49题详解】 本题为开放性试题，结合文章内容给出合理观点和理由即可。根据文章第3段“Building and studying tiny things helps scientists test new ideas and materials.（制造和研究微小事物有助于科学家测试新想法和材料。）”可推知纳米小提琴是一项伟大的发明，因为它能帮助科学家测试新想法和材料。故填Yes, I do. Because it helps scientists test new ideas and materials. 【50题详解】 本题为开放性写作题，要求写出纳米机器人在日常生活中的用途，字数约30词。答案合理，语法正确即可。 VI.

The violin is so tiny that it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The researchers wondered if they could use a new kind of nanotechnology (纳米技术) to test the limits of how small a violin could actually be created. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. A micron is one millionth of a meter. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair. The “nano-violin” wasn’t designed to be played. So what was the point? Physics professor Kelly Morrison, who led the project, says that “At first, we were just interested in how small a violin could be,” but the work they finally did is actually very important and creative for their research. In recent decades, computers and other technology have become faster as the parts inside devices have become smaller. Building and studying tiny things helps scientists test new ideas and materials. The whole process of making the violin took about three hours. But it took the researchers several months to develop the methods they used to create it. Now that they’ve made the nano-violin, the researchers plan to use their system to study more serious things. For example, they’re looking at new ways to store information, and how to use heat to make computers work faster and use less energy. Task 1: Answer the questions.（回答问题） 45. How can the tiny violin be seen? __________________________________________________________ 46. Why did scientists build and study extremely small things? __________________________________________________________ 47. How long did the whole process of making the tiny violin take? __________________________________________________________ 48. What do the researchers plan to do after they’ve made the nano-violin? __________________________________________________________ 49. Do you think the nano-violin is a great invention? Why? __________________________________________________________ Task 2: Writing 50. Tiny things like nanobots (纳米机器人) are very useful in our daily life. What can we use nanobots to do? Write about 30 words to explain. __________________________________________________________ VI. Translate the following sentences into English, using the words in the bracket.（把下列句子翻译成英文）（6分） 51.
