The practical response is to kill one man to save five lives, which 33. 5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users.“What we round in our study is that when people used a smartphone to view classic moral problems, they were more likely to make

29、 more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly emotional dilemma, “Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London. “This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distan

30、ce which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions

31、 and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this could have on the hundreds of millions of people who use such devices daily. “its clear that we need more research on how our devices affect our moral decision making because were using screens at an ever increasing rate.8.

35、in daily life.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 help control the way

36、 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 du

37、ring 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 Massachusett

38、s 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

39、 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 we

40、ight. 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 installe

41、d 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 aircraft, leading to

42、 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.”12. 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 on ailerons to cont

43、rol 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.13. 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 the small motors.D. Th

44、e working principle of the new wings.14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“disassembled”in Paragraph 6?A. put awayB. taken apartC. inventedD. analyzed15. What will the drones made by the new wings be firstly used to do?A. Carry passengers.B. Save people in danger.C. Test planes.
