26、An electric flying vehicle called Skai was on display yesterday near Los Angeles， California． Skai is made by Alaka'i Technologies． The vehicle has six rotors（旋翼） on top． Inside， there are seats for five passengers． To many people， Skai looks like a cross between a giant drone（无人机） and a car． Alaka'i Technologies hopes the vehicle will one day serve as a flying taxi， a cargo carrier， and an ambulance．
Other companies， such as Boeing and Airbus， are also designing electric aircraft． They are using batteries to power them． But batteries can weigh the vehicles down．
Skai uses hydrogen fuel cells to power its rotors． Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter alternative to batteries． They allow the vehicle to transport 1，000 pounds． They might also be less damaging to the environment． "It's the cleanest form of energy on the planet，" Bruce Holmes told Digital Trends， a technology news website． Holmes is on the board of Alaka'i Technologies．
A test flight will take place near the company's Massachusetts headquarters． But it may be years before the autonomous aircraft is cleared to carry passengers． Skai must first meet regulations． These regulations are set by the Federal Aviation Administration （FAA）．
"The technology is interesting， but the regulatory （监管的） road will be very long，" Thaddeus Lightfoot said． Lightfoot is a lawyer． He helps companies deal with FAA rules．
Alaka'i Technologies is hopeful that Skai will get FAA approval to fly passengers soon． In the meantime， the company's CEO， Stephen Hanvey， says the craft could be used to transport food and water． It could also serve as a mobile cell tower in places struck by natural disasters．
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "cross" in paragraph 1？

27、 For over 40 years, gaokao has not only affected individual students, but also has had a significant impact on national development.
In a move to fix talent shortages in the high-end chip, software design, intelligent technology, new materials and advanced manufacturing and social sciences, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced a new college enrollment plan — called the “strengthening basic disciplines plan (强基计划)” — that will start this year.
The pilot plan has been rolled out in the country’s top 36 universities. By May 13, all schools had released their distinctive enrollment plans, encouraging senior high students with special talents to sign up.
Before the end of May, students can apply to one of the 36 participating universities. Enrollment policies vary by university, with admission limits set from dozens of students to 200.
These universities also detailed their recruitment procedure.
After the results of gaokao are released, schools will release lists of qualifying students, who either excel in gaokao, or have won first or second prizes in Olympiads with gaokao scores at least higher than the first round of register lines. These applicants will then receive additional tests and interviews. The final enrollment decision is heavily based on the gaokao score, which will remain the most important criterion (标准), accounting for more than 85 percent of the final result, says MOE.
The universities have announced that they will also consider physical tests as a reference for submission (录取), according to China Youth Daily.
Once the students are enrolled, they are expecting an intensive educational program. For example, Tsinghua University has set up five schools, offering courses in chemical biology, information and computing science, theory and applied mechanics as their dominant disciplines. The university’s goal is to “put admitted students in small, independent classes with the best and most specific teaching resources and learning environments for their discipline”, according to Yu Xiaoxiao, the director of admission at Tsinghua University.
Compared to the previous independent university enrollment scheme (高校自主招生计划), under which some students could either gain admission without taking gaokao or be awarded bonus points in the exam, “the new plan positively facilitates diverse, efficient and scientific progress in Chinese college admissions,” noted China.org.
【1】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To affect individual students with talents.
B.To inform people of a new education project.
C.To instruct high schools to improve education quality.
D.To help the college-bound high school students with exarms.
【2】Which of the following is the function of gaokao according to the passage?
A.It helps students to get admitted to certain programs.
B.It fixes talent shortages in the high technology.
C.It greatly influences national development.
D.It strengthens college enrollment plans.
【3】What do we know about the “strengthening basic disciplines plan”?
A.Each applicant can apply to the 36 participating universities.
B.The final enrollment decision has nothing to do with the gaokao score.
C.The applicants will receive additional tests and interviews after gaokao.
D.Each university can admit 200 students with the same enrollment policy.
【4】Where is this passage probably taken from?
A.A newspaper. B.A science magazine.
C.A university website. D.A textbook.
28、 What is the capital of Canada? If you’re well-versed in geographic knowledge, you know the answer is Ottawa. But why is that? After all, Toronto is much larger than any other city in Canada. Montreal is an international city with ties to Europe. Vancouver is a major city with a very strategic port. Quebec City is centrally located.
Why were none of these cities chosen to be the capital of Canada? As it tums out, choosing a capital city is more complicated than pointing to the biggest city on the map.
Ottawa was a good choice because it was centrally located between two other major contenders. Montreal (which was predominantly French) and York (now Toronto, which was predominantly British). These two cities were the largest in Ontario and Quebec, which were at the center of Canada in the middle of 19th century. Picking Ottawa was a good compromise, as the Queen did not want to appear to favor one major city over the other.
Also, unlike Toronto and Montreal, Ottawa was central but also a safe distance away from Canada’s southern neighbor, the United States. It meant the capital would be safer in the event the U.S. decided to attack again. After all, it had only been 40 years since the War of 1812 when American troops had invaded as a result of British interference(干涉) in shipping. Although America was unable to capture Canada, the invasion was costly for the British government, who was not about to let it happen again.
Hence, Ottawa was a great choice for the capital of Canada.
【1】Which is the biggest city in Canada?
A.Toronto. B.Ottawa.
C.Montreal. D.Vancouver.
【2】Why was neither Montreal nor Toronto chosen to be the capital?
A.Ottawa was in the middle of Canada.
B.The Queen did not want to be criticized.
C.The two cities were in the middle of Canada.
D.There were different languages between the two cities.
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.The United States was a good neighbor.
B.The United States often attacked Canada.
C.Toronto and Montreal were in the middle of Canada.
D.The capital was not easy to be attacked.
29、It was the most important thing in my family —my piano recital (钢琴演奏会) tonight. My grandparents were coming by plane to hear me play. Even my busy Aunt Dianne, who is on TV every night reading the news, was coming.
But one thing was for sure. I would never win an award for my piano playing. And that’s just because the more I practiced, the more nervous I got. So there I was, on the stage, in my beautiful dress, and I sat down at the piano. But when I started to play, I hit a wrong note. I told myself to start over. But then I hit the wrong note again. It was as if I hadn’t practiced at all.
Finally the disaster was over. I ran off the stage. I couldn’t understand why audience were clapping. But they were. My mom and dad had flowers for me and we were all supposed to go out for a nice dinner, but I couldn’t. I just wanted to go home and cry and never go anywhere again. After we went back home, Aunt Dianne just came in and sat down on the side of my bed.
“It was my first night on the air,” she said. “I had never been on television before and I made a mistake. I mispronounced my name and the name of the news show. And you know what? No one even noticed but me. Just like tonight, no one noticed — just you.” Aunt Dianne was right. I think we are harder on ourselves than anyone else is. Maybe I will leave my room. And maybe I’ll play the piano again.
【1】From the passage we can know Aunt Dianne________.
A．worked as a news broadcaster on TV
B．worked as an actress
