III. Cloze 20% (I) The study of evolution has taught us that nature plays no favorites. After 3.8 billion years, the lesson is clear: whetherplant, animal, or microbe, an individual's survival depends on its ability to 31 the environment around it. Vascular plantsevolved leaves to collect sunlight to fuel their growth. Birds evolved hollow bones and asymmetrical feathers to enhance flightcapabilities. With these and countless other successful examples, scientists and engineers are 32 more and more 32nature for guidance.    Biomimicry—a word derived from bios, meaning "life," and mimesis, meaning "to imitate"— refers to the study ofnature's successful design solutions and the imitation of these designs to solve human problems. There are many examples ofhuman-engineered devices that share 33 with living things. Sometimes, this happens unintentionally: think of thesimilarities between a canoe or kayak paddle and a freshwater turtle leg. At other times, the inventor intentionally mimickedsomething in nature.     34 the vast biological diversity on Earth, there is enormous potential for innovation inspired by nature. Research anddevelopment is ongoing in a number of engineering fields, including Bioengineering, Aeronautics, and Robotics.Take Aeronautics, for example, engineers are studying successful designs 35 in nature to build faster, safer, and moreefficient flying machines with wings that twist for steering and wing surfaces that "morph" or change in shape in response tovariable in-flight conditions.
