21、A new set of rules are being brought in for kids and adults who own and fly drones(无人机).Children and adults who use drones now have to pass an online theory test and be registered as a drone operator.From 30 November 2019,anyone who hasn’t done these,could be fined£1,000.

The new rules are from the Civil Aviation Authority(CAA)--they’re the people responsible for monitoring(监测)air traffic and develop the rules that apply to drones.They apply to anyone responsible for a drone or an unmanned aircraft(飞行器)such as a model plane weighing at least 250g.Those who register will get a unique ID which must be displayed on their drones.

The test is done online.It has 20 questions and should take around 20 minutes to complete.To pass,the person taking it,needs to get 16 out of 20 correct!But the test can be taken more than once.

The CAA decided that there should be some stricter rules about who can and can't fly a drone.

With more and more drones being spotted near airports--where they can cause problems--it is important to have stricter rules.In December 2018,1,000 flights were cancelled for 36 hours,after reported drone sightings in the airspace of Gatwick Airport.140,000 passengers had to change or cancel their travel plans because of the sightings.This new online safety test has been designed to make sure those flying drones will do so safely.In March 2019,the drone no-fly area around airports was extended(延伸)from 1km to 5km.This was to prevent the devices(设备)causing trouble at airports.

As well as keeping drones and other devices flying safe and legal,the new rules will come in handy for lost devices.Once a device has been registered and has its own ID number,it’ll be easier for it to be returned to the right place!

【1】What are the new rules?

A．Those who use drones must register them legally.

B．People are not allowed to use drones weighing above 250g.

C．Kids shouldn’t use drones without being accompanied by parents.

D．People are permitted to use drones within 1km to 5km around airports.

【2】Why are stricter rules needed?

A．Drones are dangerous to kids.

B．Airplanes are often disturbed by flying drones.

C．The original rules are broken by many drone users.

D．Drones are often beyond operators control in the air

【3】What is a benefit of the registration?

A．Finding lost drones.

B．Keeping children entertained.

C．Monitoring airplanes at airports.

D．Speeding up the development of drones.

【4】Which of the following statements is correct?

A．Only people who are under 18 should have the online safety test.

B．The stricter the rules are,the less frequently people will fly their drones.

C．If a person wants to pass the test,he needs to get at least 80%of full marks.

D．As long as one registers a fly drone legally,he can fly it wherever he wants.

22、If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some useful tips for buying a cheap ticket.

When to buy

If you’re going to buy tickets for domestic (国内的) flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still useful because most U. S. carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.

When to fly

Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the U. S. , the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary (旅行计划) for the expensive U. S. spring break travel period is scheduled from Tuesday to Saturday; it will save you money (in most cases).

Where to fly

We continue to see good deals to Boston and Denver and more and more nice prices to Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D. C. . As for Europe, there have been surprising deals throughout the fall and those will continue into the winter.

Direct flights vs connecting flights

Compare the price of direct flights with that of connecting flights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra long flying day. An example: San Francisco to Raleigh: $553 for a direct flight, $362 with one stop.

You'd better think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh.

Compare, compare, compare

Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite U. S. legacy carrier will get you there for the best price—$554 for a round trip.

However, the comparison site also shows a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you're missing when you fail to do comparison?

【1】When can you possibly find the best price for flights within the U. S. ?

A．On Monday morning.

B．On Thursday afternoon.

C．On Tuesday morning.

D．On Sunday morning.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “Stifle the impulse” probably mean?

A．Feel free to do something.

B．Control the desire to do directly.

C．Get well prepared for something.

D．Make a quick decision on something.

【3】Who is the text intended for?

A．Those who usually choose first class for their flights.

B．Those who want to find suggestions on where to fly.

C．Those who are travelling during the spring break.

D．Those who are looking for the best airline ticket prices.

23、   You’ve got the butter, the eggs, the organic salad greens and the laundry soap. And so you make your way to the front of the grocery store, which is where you’ll face your moment of truth:

Will you step in behind the mom with a wiggly baby and a full cart? Or take your chances with the young couple you spotted arguing over the best milk in Aisle 3B?

Better make up your mind, quick. Because, faster than the guy with “just one item” who’s about to cut in line, this whole scene is going to disappear.

Amazon recently opened its own convenience store, Amazon Go, in Seattle. It’s the first of its kind: a truly cashless grocery experience in which shoppers enter through gates that look like subway turnstiles (闸机), take what they want from the shelves and exit the way they came. No carts, no lines, no waiting. The store accurately lists what you take and charges your Amazon account, efficiently delivering an electronic receipt after you’ve left. Like most things that Amazon does, this smells like inevitability. We know, as surely as we knew the day that first Amazon box showed up on the doorstep, that the future of shopping has arrived.

Like all progress, it comes at a cost. “Based on data”, says Manoj Thomas, a professor of marketing at Cornell University, “we know that when people use any abstract form of payment, they spend more. And the type of products they choose changes too.”

Decades of psychological research has reinforced the knowledge that the further we are removed from “the pain of paying,” the less we understand how much were really spending. “If you are paying by credit card,” says Thomas, “you might pause at the checkout and suddenly think,” Should I be buying this? “Or if you are paying cash, that reflection happens at the very beginning. Both will be gone with the Amazon store.” Unhealthy impulse purchases and overspending will result from it, he says. “Both are completely related because they are influenced by our impulse urges.”

Win Is Thomas advocating that we all make a run for the atm and attempt to turn back time by using old hard currency? “No, no, no,” he says.

He envisions a world in which you’ll be able to set budget or calorie limits on an app that will recognize when you pick up unhealthy or budget-busting items and will warn you that they fall outside your goals. He expresses confidence that there is some tech hero out there right now, figuring out this exact solution to keep us all on the straight and narrow.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “this whole scene” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Customers arguing over the best item. B.Customers lining up at the checkout.

C.Customers cutting in line for the bargains. D.Customers doing shopping with their babies.

【2】What might you experience if you do shopping in Amazon Go?

A.Less “pain of paying” at the checkout counter.

B.Convenient entering through subway turnstiles.

C.Overspending on more than you actually need.

D.Quicker delivering of goods to your car.

【3】Manoj Thomas probably holds the view that ________.

A.abstract payment contributes to market prosperity

B.impulse consumption may be regulated with the new app

C.extra spending will surely not happen with the warning of the app

D.it is better for people to use cash or credit cards to avoid overspending

24、In all the world’s cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts find that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.

Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children’s IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数).

Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medical prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus. That’s why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.

With the evidence of music’s benefits, it’s no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education system. People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.

【1】Scientists are studying music because   .

A. music can be used for medical treatment.

B. music plays a very important role in our lives

C. our brain can process music in different ways

D. music education has received a lot of attention

【2】According to the Canadian study, which children increased IQscores?

A. Those who already had high IQ scores.

B. Those who always played music.

C. Those who could not play any instrument.

D. Those who studied music for a period of time.

【3】Which of the following is a kind of disease?

A. Spatial reasoning.

B. Alzheimer’s.

C. The amygdale and hippocampus.

D. The medial prefrontal cortex.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A. Music and health     B. Music and the mind

C. Music and the education D. Music and instruments

25、   Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is ________ born with a white coat, which is the result of a/an ________ gene that surfaces in a few. Local people have named it ‘the spirit bear’. And according to the legends of these communities, its snowy fur brings with it a special power. Because of this, it has always been highly ________ by them—so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else. It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area.

The white bear’s ________ is quite interesting. The bear’s strong relationship with the old-growth rainforest is a complex one. The white bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways. ________, the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion (腐蚀) of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams. Keeping these banks undamaged is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear’s main food ________. The bear’s feeding habits nurture the forest ________. As the bears eat the salmon, they abandon the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce vegetation that ________ thousands of other types of life forms, from birds to insects and more.

Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands. There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than two hundred of these white bears remain. The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the ________ balance of their forest environment—in other words, their ecosystem.

The greatest ________ to the bear’s existence is the loss of its habitat. Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by ________ a large number of trees. In addition, they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually ________, and many hibernation sites have also been lost. The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal ________ on fishing at the moment.

All these ________ have a negative impact on the spirit bear’s very existence, which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been ________ low. While it is important to maintain the spirit bear’s habitat, there also needs to be more emphasis on its expansion. The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes.
