26、   You wait 50 years for a flying car,and then three come along at once.First up is Vahana:an airbus project to develop batterypowered,single- seater aircraft,designed to follow predetermined routes,only changing directions to avoid accidents.Propellers(螺旋桨)on the wings will let it take off and land without a runway.

Second,Dubai recently announced plans to use self-controlled air taxis as a way to beat the terrible traffic jams.The Volocopter is an electric multi-copter with 18 propellers and a fully self-controlled system.It’s essentially a self-controlled aircraft with two seats and up to 30 minutes of flying time.

But,if you want something more like the flying cars of 1950s science fiction,try Urban Aeronautics’ Fancraft.The Israel-based company wants to realize the dream of”an aircraft that looks like the classic vision of a flying car:doesn’t have a wing,doesn’t have a propeller that can be seen,and can fly exactly from point to point,”says Janina Frankel-Yoeli,Urban Aeronautics’ vice president of marketing.Earlier flying cars needed runways to take off and land which was,as Frankel-Yoeli says,”not much better than owning a car and an aircraft.”To go from point to point requires vertical take-off and landing,but for many years that could only be done by helicopters or larger aircraft.Urban Aeronautics’ solution is to use light but powerful engines,lightweight materials,and a self-controlled system.Their fan design-propellers housed in some special tubes-is powerful but unstable,so the Fancraft would be challenging for a human to fly without any help.Instead,computer-aided control technology takes over the tiny,quick changes required to keep the car stable at speeds of 160km/h or more.

But don’t be glad too early yet.The main problem to a sky full of flying cars is rules.Not only will every aircraft need to pass strict safety tests,but a new system of air traffic control will be needed to deal with 3-D traffic jams above people who are not aware of what is happening in the sky.NASA is already working on that.Tests have shown that multiple unmanned(无人的) flying cars can communicate with each other to avoid accidents.In the meantime,flying cars will mainly be reserved for emergency services and a few VIPs.

【1】Vahana is different from the Volocopter in that____

A.it is power-free

B.it is self controlled

C.its routes are fixed

D.its propellers can be seen

【2】The underlined word”vertical”in the third paragraph most probably means____

A.going straight up or down

B.flying high and fast

C.going across back or forth

D.flying quietly and safely

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.NASA helps flying cars to communicate.

B.There will be no traffic jams if cars can fly.

C.Rules for flying cars have already been made.

D.It is unusual for ordinary people to use flying cars.

27、   Nowadays, people all over the world have various ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter（非处方的）medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies（治疗） like herbal tea or chicken soup. However, here is the tough truth about the common cold:nothing really cures it.

Then why do people sometimes still believe that their remedies work？According to James Taylor, a professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves to be praised, USA Today reported.

To many of us, it still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something as common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral（抗病毒的）drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw（拼图）, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can develop an antiviral drug that is effective enough.

The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus（鼻病毒）A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them lead to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B don’t work well when used against C.

“This accounts for most of the previous failures of drug trials against Thinovirus,”study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.

Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.

With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.

【1】What does the author think of popular remedies for curing a common cold?

A. They are really quite effective.

B. They are slightly helpful.

C. They still need to be improved.

D. They actually don’t work.

【2】How do antiviral drugs work?

A. By identifying the viruses and breaking them up directly.

B. By reshaping the top layers of the target cold viruses.

C. By attacking the viruses one after another like finishing a jigsaw.

D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.

B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.

C. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.

D. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A. Drugs against cold viruses

B. Helpful home remedies

C. No current cure for common cold

D. Research on cold viruses

28、   Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand (消费者需要) for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic and metal container are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environment safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.

Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarkets’ products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made producing of clean and safe products their main selling points and emphasize (强调) it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

【1】It becomes clear from the passage that the driving force (动力) behind the green products is ______.

A.public caring for the environment B.companies’ desire for bigger sales

C.new ways of doing business D.rapid growth of supermarkets

【2】Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Only the productive methods are the cause of the heavy pollution.

B.Manufactures made their products clean with cleaners.

C.In fact, it is the public who made the companies produce green products.

D.Not all the consumers would like green products.

【3】The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.

A.a selling point B.the company name

C.a great demand for health foods D.the producing of green products

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Business and People B.Business Goes Green

C.Shopping Habits Are Changing D.Supermarkets and Green Products

29、The prevalence of melanoma (黑素瘤) has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century. While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.

Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.

What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”

But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Mel-bourne, Australia.

Finally, you should monitor your moles (痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99% of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrieal-sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.

【1】What’s the main cause of the rise of melanoma?

A．The climate change.

B．Better detection.

C．More exposure to the sun.

D．The increase of skin cancer.

【2】What’s a mistake according to experts?

A．Applying sunscreen in summer.

B．Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.

C．Using sunscreen during lower risk months.

D．Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Prevention is better than cure.

B．Health is better than wealth.

C．A disease known is half cured.

D．When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.

【4】What is the best title of the text?

A．Detect Melanoma

B．Beware Winter Rays

C．Monitor Your Moles

D．Spend Less Time Outdoors

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
