Did you ever imagine flying over the city in an air taxi that has no pilot? Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes? It sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore.

An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL, 电动垂直起降) aircraft (飞行器), also known as an air taxi, completed its first inter-city flight in Guangdong on Feb 27. The eVTOL aircraft started its journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This flight is an important development of this exciting new form of transport.

Air taxis use high technology to take off and land vertically like a helicopter, which doesn’t need long runways. Instead of using traditional combustion engines, air taxis use electric motors. These air taxis have propellers placed all over them to help them stay balanced. They also use lithiumion batteries to store electricity, letting them fly far and fast. With a central command center that keeps an eye on the flight, some of them can fly without a pilot.

There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic, with their direct point-to-point travel saving valuable time for urban people. Except this benefit, as an eco-friendly choice, air taxis produce fewer emissions than traditional cars, improving urban air quality.

However, air taxis also need special places to take off and land, which means they need eVTOL airports called “vertiports”. Now researchers are trying to make full use of the existing (现有的) small airports to serve as “vertiports”. And with plans to fly at low altitudes (纬度) in cities, there’s still much work to be done to keep everyone safe.

31．Why does the author use the questions in Paragraph 1?

A．To carry out a survey.　　　　B．To show the author’s dream.

C．To interest readers.　　　　D．To begin a science fiction.

32．What helps air taxis stay balanced?

A．A helicopter.　　　　B．Propellers.　　　　C．Lithiumion batteries.　　　　D．Combustion engines.

33．What does the underlined word “benefit” mean?

A．Problem.　　　　B．Choice.　　　　C．Way.　　　　D．Advantage.

34．According to the last paragraph, what may next researches focus on?

A．How to fly higher and more safely.　　　　B．How to improve urban air quality.

C．How to fly at low altitudes more safely.　　　　D．How to build more new airports for air taxis.

35．What’s the best title for the passage?

A．A new form of transport　　　　B．The history of air taxis

C．The popularity of air taxis　　　　D．The forms of transport

To begin with, “cool” was just a word to describe the weather. In the past century, however, “cool” has become richer in meaning. 　　36　　

In the 1930s, being “cool” became a top word of praise in American slang (俚语). 　　37　　 The word soon showed more meanings, including calm, wise, fashionable and more, according to the magazine Humanities.

　　38　　 According to Joel Dinerstein, a professor at Tulane University, today’s “cool” is all about being caring. To be cool is to know and care about what is happening in the world. His students now believe that a person is cool if they care about environment or do charity work.

Another study found the key of “cool” lies in the will to stick to one’s own choice in life. The study pointed out that cool people always choose their own paths whatever others think. 　　39　　 You must make sure your behaviors are proper and are not being over done.

So, what does it really mean to be cool for teenagers? According to a latest survey done by some middle schools in Chengdu, most students believe that true coolness comes from knowing the importance of safety and responsibility. It also comes from making choices that make you have a better future. 　　40　　 It means to live a life with passion (激情) no matter what happens.

A. But this doesn’t mean you don’t need to follow the social rules.

B. Fast forward to today, “cool” has had a big change from the past.

C. It is now not only a word, but a style, an attitude and even a life philosophy.

D. The real “cool” ones are those who will not be beaten by failures but keep trying.

E. Back in the day, being cool meant being a bit cold toward others but in an attractive way.

Long long ago, a group of people lived together on an island. They were Love, Vanity (虚荣), Sadness and so on. One day, 　　41　　 island would sink (沉没). All the people got on their boats except 　　42　　, so she decided to ask others for help.

Love saw that Vanity had a beautiful boat. “Vanity, 　　43　　 you mind taking me with you?” Love asked. “I can’t help you.” Vanity answered. “Look, your clothes get all 　　44　　. I do want to keep my boat dry. If you come, you must mess it.”

Love then turned to Sadness and said. “Sadness, please let me get on your boat!” “Sorry. I am sad, 　　45　　 I need to be alone.” Sadness replied. When Love saw Happiness pass by, Love 　　46　　 tried to ask her for help. But she was so happy that she didn’t even stop to listen to what Love was saying.

Suddenly, Love 　　47　　 an old man’s voice saying, “Come on, Love. I’ll take you away.” The old man used his boat to take Love to a safe place. Love thanked him and said, “May I have your name, please? And 　　48　　 were you willing to help me?” “My name is Time,” the old man replied. “I understood how valuable you were—You made the world full 　　49　　 peace and pleasure. In my mind, everyone should help you without thinking 　　50　　.” Hearing the old man’s words, Love was deeply moved.

四、任务型阅读

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格信息，并将答案写到答题卡上相应的位置。

We know elephants never get lost. People find some animals can easily find their ways home like elephants. How do they make it? The research shows that they are born with certain special abilities for direction. It’s amazing, right?

A kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 meters and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometers through a dark forest.

Some fishes have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.

Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.

However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we should simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

Animals’ 　　51　　 for direction
Fact	It’s 　　52　　 for some animals to find their ways home like elephants.
Examples	●The ants which live in the desert can’t get lost even though they go as far as 110 meters because they can count their steps. ● 　　53　　 some fishes and sea birds have an unbelievable sense of smell. ●Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field.
Problem and 　　54	●Human activities bring problems to the animals which have such unusual abilities. ●People should turn off some lights at night 　　55　　 many birds depend on stars for direction.
One small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.

五、书面表达

9. 例文：Dear Mary,

I am glad to hear that you are coming to China soon. Knowing that you feel it difficult to learn Chinese, I’d like to share some ideas with you.

First of all, as for listening, seeing Chinese films and listening to Chinese songs can help a lot. They can make you interested in Chinese and you can develop your listening ability by this way. What’s more, finding more chances to speak Chinese is very important. You can make more Chinese friends and communicate with them. The more you speak, the more fluent you’ll be. Besides, you can also try reading some simple Chinese stories. Then day by day, you can learn many new Chinese words, make some Chinese sentences and even a simple story.

All in all, you should practice as often as you can. “Practice makes perfect.” As long as you make efforts to learn Chinese and keep trying, I believe you can learn it well.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Zhang Xin
