21、   Small seating in the economy-class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.

A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane's safety tips in case of emergency. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.

A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a menace to passengers, "We don't think it is a safety matter," he said, "We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them?" In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.

Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”— with an 86-centimeter seat Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable eats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres. Some Qatar Airways offer the chance to upgrade - at a price - to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.

【1】Which is true according to the report from doctors of Vienna?

A.10% of passengers in economy class adopt the brace position.

B.More spaces could increase the chance of survival.

C.30% of passengers on board adopt the brace position.

D.Passengers in first class are most likely to survive.

【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3?

A.Threat. B.Advantage. C.Bonus. D.Concern.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.

B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could increase danger in the crash.

C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.

D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge,

【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?

A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel.

22、Vaccines(疫苗) may soon make their first film appearance. Led by expert Maria A. Croyle, researchers have developed a thin sheet that preserves vaccines for long periods without refrigeration. This means the carefully cooled small bottles now used to ship vaccines could potentially be replaced by lightweight films that can be mailed in an envelope and stored on a shelf.

Croyle’s laboratory began developing the technology in 2007. Inspired by amber’s ability to preserve the DNA of insects, the researchers set out to create their own version of the substance by mixing “a lot of sugar and a little bit of salt, much like hard candy,” Croyle explains. The vaccine-containing film is administered by mouth—sweet news for many who dislike needles.

The film is tailored to suit each specific vaccine candidate and provide a protective coating. “We’ve learned over time that the key to really stabilizing whatever the film holds is to have it intermixed with all the components,” Croyle says, adding that the process is quick and uses affordable, standard equipment. “We really wanted to come up with something that would be transferable to developing countries.”

Immunization(免疫) programs depend heavily on keeping vaccines cold(2℃-8℃) as they are transported, sometimes over thousands of kilometers to far-away locations. Delivery can be difficult and costly, and transport disruptions can cause the vaccines to be ineffective.

But this new product can store live viruses, bacteria and antibodies for several months at 20℃. In a paper published in Science Advances, the scientists show that the live viruses in one vaccine were preserved in the film even after 36 months. They also find that a flu vaccine suspended in their film compares favourably with a traditional flu shot(流感预防针). “The study demonstrates early proof of concept for an exciting platform for vaccine product development,” says Lisa Rohan, a pharmacologist, who was not involved in the study. She also notes that each vaccine type would need a custom formulation(配方) for future stages of development.

Finding partners to mass-produce for clinical trials is the researchers’ most pressing problem, Croyle says. They are also exploring packaging methods to keep their films stable up to 40℃.

Size is a major advantage—a letter-sized sheet of the film can carry more than 500 doses(剂) of vaccine, about 1⁄900 the weight of the same amount of traditional doses. By making it easier and cheaper to ship and preserve vaccines efficiently, Croyle says, the technology could vastly improve immunization rates the world over, particularly in middle- to low- income countries.

【1】What can we learn about the film?

A．It contains animal’s DNA.

B．It will replace vaccines.

C．It comes in different flavours.

D．It can hold bio-products.

【2】According to Paragraph 3, we can learn about the film’s ________.

A．key component

B．development schedule

C．possible advantages

D．transportation requirements

【3】The author mentions Lisa Rohan’s words to ________.

A．advise personalizing vaccines

B．suggest the product is promising

C．prove the study is supported widely

D．stress the functions of a new platform

【4】What will be the next urgent task for Croyle’s team?

A．Advertising the film worldwide.

B．Improving the film’s capacity.

C．Reducing the shipping cost.

D．Seeking ideal manufacturers.

23、   New research has found that grey seals can simulate(模仿) human speech and songs. The study carried out by Dr Amanda Stansbury and Professor Vincent Janik,at the University of St Andrews,found that grey seals use the same sound production system as humans due to having similar vocal tracts(声道).

Three young grey seals—Zola,Gandalf and Janice—were monitored from birth by Stansbury and Janik to determine their natural talents.Once this process was complete,the researchers began teaching the seals to simulate common seal sounds or noises a seal might normally hear from a herd mate in the wild. Fish was used to encourage the seals to come out of the water and sing a series of notes.Stansbury would record the seals’own sounds and play them back. The seals quickly learnt that if they sang back the same notes, they would be rewarded with fish.

Once the seals were familiar with this process and could easily copy these basic sounds,Stansbury and Janik used higher and longer tones(音调)and unfamiliar vowels(元音)from human speech.The seals were then rewarded for matching these new sounds.Stansbury even used some combinations to simulate songs that no seal would be expected

to produce under natural circumstances. Zola had a gift for copying up to ten notes of songs such as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and the theme song of Star Wars. Gandalf and Janice were better at accurately reproducing combinations of human vowel sounds.

Stansbury said,“I was amazed how well the seals copied the model sounds we played to them.Copies were not perfect,but given that these are not typical seal sounds,it is pretty impressive.Our study really shows how flexible seal voices are.”

After one year of working with the researchers,the seal pups were released back into the wild. “This study gives us a better understanding of the development of vocal learning,a skill that is important for human language development.”Janik believes this knowledge can help to develop new methods to study speech problems.

【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.A research finding on grey seals. B.Grey seals’learning environments.

C.Humans’sound production system. D.A comparison of humans and grey seals.

【2】In the study,fish would be given when the seals   .

A.made funny noises B.came out of the water

C.repeated the same notes D.copied typical fish sounds

【3】What can we find about Zola based on the research?

A.It can copy some musical sounds played to her. B.It is good at copying human vowel sounds.

C.It is smarter than Gandalf and Janice. D.It likes singing children’s songs.

【4】What does Janik think of the research result?

A.It shows the living environments of grey seals.

B.It leads to a better understanding of human evolution.

C.It raises an awareness of the need to protect grey seals.

D.It inspires new methods for research on speech problems.

24、   Fantasy as a genre is often unfairly wronged. While there are plenty of authors who seem to be paid by the word and are only concerned with expanding volume, there are many authors producing fantastic works that are worthy of the word literature. While there were many worthy competitors, here are what we consider to be the great work of the greatest fantasy series of all time.

1. The Dark Tower by Stephen King

The Dark Tower actually shares some similarities with The Wheel of Time. In both series the first four books are the strongest, and you also get the sense with both Robert Jordan and Stephen King that they didn’t quite know how to end their creation, which led to a very controversial ending in The Dark Tower’s case along with some questionable decisions by King like his self-insertion in the story.

King has created one of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time in the Gunslinger Roland and the world he creates, with all of its similarities to our reality, is a prosperous one. It’s too bad that Stephen King doesn’t dabble(涉猎) more in fantasy, because he clearly has a talent for world building. Not to mention everything he writes seems to be phone book sized, which would fit right in with the fantasy genre.

2. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

When considering a ranking of the greatest fantasy series of all time, the question of Harry Potter is a tricky one. There’s inevitably opposition when something is as popular as Rowling’s work, and add to that the fact that the series is seemingly meant for children and you have a case that naturally inspires a lot of debate. I’m not sure I believe Rowling did anything particularly new with Harry Potter, but a work doesn’t necessarily have to be innovative for it to be great. Nearly every fantasy series owes a debt to Tolkien for instance, but that doesn’t mean Tolkien has written the only work of fantasy that matters. Rowling didn’t really come up with anything new, but the connection she made with tens of millions of readers is praiseworthy. People will be reading Harry Potter for decades to come, and I’m not sure a better introduction to fantasy could be found.

【1】What do we know about the two books?

A. King’s work The Wheel of Time has a controversial ending.

B. People have debate on J.K. Rowling’s book because of her innovation.

C. King is blessed with a gift for world building.

D. Tolkien has a great influence on J.K. Rowling.

【2】The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A. a news report B. a book review C. a history book D. a research paper

25、   Scientists in Norway have more good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink -- or the beans can help with weight loss, _______ one’s risk of developing some diseases, _______ muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers and can even reduce ones risk of _______ death. Now comes word that a cup of coffee reduces physical pain.

The surprising finding is based on study _______ 48 volunteers who agreed to spend 90 minutes performing fake computer tasks meant to mimic office work. The tasks were known to _______ pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists, and the researchers wanted to _______ how people with pain and those who were pain-free tolerated the pain of such tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test “to avoid _______effects of caffeine deprivation, e.g. decreased vigor and alertness, sleepiness, and fatigue,” they reported.

But when it came time to analyze the data, the researchers from Norway’s National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a lower _______ of pain than the 29 people who didn’t. In the shoulders and neck, _______, the average pain intensity was rated 41 (on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for non-coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and coffee’s apparent pain- reduction effect ________.

However, the authors of the study, which was published this week in the journal BMC Research Notes, cautioned that since the study wasn’t designed to test coffee’s influence on pain, the results came with many ________. For starters, the researchers don’t know how much coffee the coffee drinkers consumed before taking the computer tests. ________ they doubt whether the coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers were ________ in all respects except for their coffee consumption. Problems like these tend to ________ the importance of the findings. But those doubts are ________ to trouble the coffee drinkers looking for any reason not to cut back on their daily caffeine habit.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Mary’s husband died a few years ago from an accident. To make ends meet, she had to take on several jobs and bring up her five children alone. Fortunately, her oldest children understood her and helped to look after the younger kids. Mary always felt terrible about that, but there was nothing she could do. She dreamed of having a van to transport goods for others so that she could have another source of income.

In the mornings, Mary cleaned the houses for some families, and worked as a cashier at a supermarket the rest of the afternoon. At night, she worked at a gas station’s convenience store. Every night, she came home tired, and most of the kids had been asleep by then.

One afternoon, Mary was walking to the supermarket to start her duty when she saw an old man staring at the window of the bakery next door. The smell of fresh-baked bread permeated (弥漫) the air. However, the man merely sighed and started walking away.

Mary felt awful for some unknown reason and stopped the man. “Hey, sir. I think I’ve seen you before at the store, ”she said. “Yes. I’m Hector. Nice to see you,” the old man nodded at her and started to walk away.

“Wait, do you need anything?” Mary said, smiling kindly.

“Honestly, there was a leak in my roof this month, and I had to spend my entire month’s pension (退休金) on it. I don’t have much money for desserts,” he said. “I don’t know when I’ll be able to buy some again.”
