21、Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle.  Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem.

Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available very soon.

Grant Stapleton from Malloy Aeronautics says the Hoverbike, which is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly, will be a truly personal flying vehicle.  "It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.

Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern when developing the Hoverbike. He ays the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors  (折叠旋翼)  to power the vehicle.  The company is testing both a one-third size model and a full-size prototype  (原型)  of the Hoverbike.

Inventors say their Hoverbike will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.

In New Zealand,  the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying bike, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up t0 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.

Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company.  He said Jetpack "is built around safety from the start, " In his words, "reliability is the most important part of it.  We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car. "

Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams.  Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency.

"It opens at a very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency," he adds.

【1】Which of the following words can best describe the Hoverbike?

A. Powerful.   B. Fast. C. Portable. D. Available.

【2】What make(s) flying vehicles seem practical now?

A. Modem technology.   B. New safety rules.

C. Love of cycling. D. Public concerns.

【3】Who are expected to use the Hoverbike first?

A.  People who dream of flying.

B. People who really love cycling.

C. People who design the bike.

D. People who serve public purposes.

【4】What's the main concern the two companies share?

A. Safety. B. Speed.   C. Size.   D. Design.

22、When studying for exams, especially finals, you may often be stressed out and need help with a difficult subject. You can attempt to handle that stress by organizing a final exam study group.

Found the group. Ask your classmates if they want to join your study group. Do your best to only gather those who are in your grade. 【1】 Those who are older and younger than you may have trouble participating in the study group and won’t benefit as much from it.

【2】 Once you have an appropriate number of people in your study group, discuss the dates and times for your meetings. Since everyone has different schedules, some people may not always be able to come. You should make sure that they’ll be able to attend most of the meetings. 【3】

Discuss the subject. Remember to ask questions or opinions about the topic you’re studying, as this is a study group. 【4】 This may help people understand the subject even more. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or solve problems together if necessary. You could also create study guides together and use them to test each other.

【5】 Keeping a friendly, calming atmosphere around everyone will encourage people with their studies. Avoid keeping a serious, rigid environment around you, as it will make your classmates feel nervous and perhaps distract (使分心) them from studying.

D．You should also decide how often you will meet.

E．It’s easy to lose focus and begin talking with your members.

23、   My grandfather worked as a carpenter. On a particular day, he was building some cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the cases. The Great Depression (大萧条时期) was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.

Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago. He began by thanking the people for their kindness. “But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”

After a pause he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!” The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.

24、   This year’s holiday photos will have an undoubtedly pandemic feel: 【1】. Santa is hosting drive-through events, attaching face shields to his hat and trading with disposable gloves rather than his white cloth ones to protect himself —and others.

“【2】,” said Mark Brenneman, 70, who has been playing the role of Santa for nearly five decades. “They want hope. They want normal.”

Bass Pro Shops began offering free photos with Santa during the 2008 recession, when the country was in need of a collective pick-me-up.【3】. Now the outdoors retailer is hoping to re-create some of that magic, even if Old Saint Nick is stuck behind a shield and elves are pulling double duty as “Santa’s sanitization squad.”

The SoNo collection, a mall in Norwalk, Conn., is offering virtual visits this year for $25. But for those who would like to see Santa in the flesh, he’ll be greeting shoppers from inside an acrylic snow globe on the third floor.

“【4】—the Spanish flu, the bubonic plague — and I just couldn’t bring myself to tell my kids that he was afraid of covid-19,” said Kathryn Burgess, a photographer who designed the snow globe and spent $10,000 producing it. “【5】.”

26、阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.

Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞会). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.

Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.

Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to — people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.
