问题     With Airbus’s giant A380 airliner about to take to the skies, you might think planes could not get much bigger and you would be right. For a given design, it turns (1)_____, there comes a point where the wings become too heavy to generate (2)_____ lift to carry their own weight. (3)_____ a new way of designing and making materials could (4)_____ that problem. Two engineers (5)_____ University College London have devised an innovative way to customise and control the (6)_____ of a material throughout its three dimension al structure.
    In the (7)_____ of a wing, this would make possible a material that is dense, strong and load-bearing at one end, close to the fuselage, (8)_____ the extremities could be made less dense, lighter and more (9)_____. It is like making bespoke materials, (10)_____ you can customise the physical properties of every cubic millimetre of a structure.
    The new technique combines existing technologies in a(n) (11)_____ way. It starts by using finite-element-analysis software, of the type commonly used by engineers, (12)_____ a virtual prototype of the object. The software models the stresses and strains that the object will need to (13)_____ throughout its structure. Using this information it is then (14)_____ to calculate the precise forces acting on millions of smaller subsections of the structure. (15)_____ of these subsections is (16)_____ treated as a separate object with its own set of forces acting on it—and each subsection (17)_____ for a different microstructure to absorb those local forces.
    Designing so many microstructures manually (18)_____ be a huge task, so the researchers apply an optimisation program, called a genetic algorithm, (19)_____. This uses a process of randomisation and trial-and-error to search the vast number of possible microstructures to find the most (20)_____ design for each subsection.

选项 A、But
B、And
C、Or
D、Yet
答案A
解析 本题的考点为连词的词义及用法辨析。空格前的句子说明了目前机翼存在的问题，后面提到了一种新的设计和制造材料的方式，前后是一种转折的关系，所以But"但是"符合题意。And"和，同"和Or"或者"都表示并列关系，Yet"然而"用于表示否定或疑问的让步情况，所以这三项均不正确。
