6 . Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have reasons to stay deep under the ocean. Soldiers in submarines travel long distances underwater. Companies looking for oil and other resources stay underwater, too. Humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?

Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a man ta ray would be able to operate for long periods at sea as if it were a living organism. Manta rays, a type of cartilaginous (软骨的) fish, can grow up to 29 feet long, which are found throughout the world in tropical, subtropical, and temperate waters. Manta rays are some of the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water in order to swim, the manta ray swims by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍). Efficiency means using less energy to move farther and causing less pollution.

Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took x-rays to find out how a manta ray’s fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage, which is the same kind of material that your ears and nose are made from, stretches across each fin.

Once the engineers knew how a manta ray’s fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray’s web of cartilage, acting like your finger, which can bend as one long line, or bend in many places to make a curve. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray’s fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.

Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people. For now, engineers study their movement and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean.

2. What can we learn about a manta ray?

C．It can inhabit all kinds of waters.	D．It swims by pushing against water.

3. What can we infer from the research?

A．The engineers failed to build a man ta ray’s fin.	B．Artificial “manta rays” remain to be improved.
C．The experiments were carried out in the ocean.	D．Vehicles like manta rays have been put into use.

4. What is the author’s attitude towards the project?

To distract herself from her troubles, Isabella liked to find and take ______of bugs. Sometimes, if she found a beetle or a bee that she particularly liked, she’d ______ it on Facebook. Those posts attracted the attention of a woman named Madeline, who studies ______ at the local natural history museum. After seeing Isabella’s pictures, Madeline ______to see if she wanted a tour of the museum’s insectary.

When Isabella arrived at the museum, Madeline ______ her and handed her a lab coat. She then led her through various exhibits.“I remember she opened up this freezer, like, ‘Come check this out,’ and it was full of dead bugs. ... And I just remember how ______ I was about everything.” Isabella said.

For the first time in ages, Isabella felt herself light up. Madeline noticed her ______ and suggested Isabella volunteer at the museum for a few hours every week.

Despite her doubts, Isabella decided to ______. Every Wednesday, she’d arrive at the museum. And with each volunteer ______, she felt a little bit better.“It gave me this sense of purpose. It helped me reconnect with my love of ______ and nature that I’d always had,” Isabella said.

Soon, Isabella ______ her job and started working in science media. She now is the creator and host of a podcast called Ologies. Isabella had Madeline on the show as her first ______.

“Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I didn’t take her up on her ______. What would my life have been like? It’s not a nice thought. Who would I be? You know, Madeline, in one instant, ______ my whole life,” said Isabella.
