21、 An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage.
The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.
Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.
Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.
The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.’s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France’s ArianeGroup.
Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.
The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.
Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the success of this week’s experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against “over- publicizing” it.
There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.
Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks.” Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.
【1】What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?
A. Demonstrating space technology.
B. Imitating a developing technique.
C. Collecting wastes existing in space.
D. Symbolizing great progress in space.
【2】How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?
A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.
B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.
C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.
D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.
【3】What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Accomplish. B. Support. C. Oppose. D. Provide.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is Perfect

22、Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation(视觉听觉超刺激), the medium of radio is making a great comeback.
“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast(播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day’s digital podcast format. The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities(功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTunes. “I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,” she said. “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.”
Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. “When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you. It’s comforting,” said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.
【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that _________.
A. traditional broadcast has come back
B. Americans love listening to the radio
C. podcasts have become very popular today
D. smartphones sell well because of podcasts
【2】The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ______.
A. tell how young people relax themselves
B. explain why young people like podcasts
C. introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D. show how popular podcasts are among the young
【3】Paragraph 5 is mainly about __________.
A. the influence of radios
B. the advantage of podcasts
C. readers’ impression on radios
D. people’s reaction to the medium
【4】What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Return of Radio B. Opinions of Podcast
C. Features of Radio D. Technology of Podcast
23、Bad drivers in the District could soon get a serious warning sent straight to their cell phones. The city is working to identify drivers with a history of traffic violations, such as speeding and driving through a red light, to send messages warning them of their history of infraction(违规) as well as their risks of getting into a fatal crash.
City officials say they hope the pointed messages(定制信息) will decrease dangerous road behaviors. “We know that there is a number of drivers that are putting others at serious risk with excessive speeding and red-light running,” said Jeff Marootian, director of the city's Department of Transportation, one of the agencies leading the effort. “We're hoping that this creative approach can ultimately reduce serious injury and fatality crashes.”
“This is a creative approach that we haven't tried before, and we think that it is worth the effort,” Marootian said. The concept, which D.C. officials say is a first among cities nationwide, is the latest effort to target dangerous drivers in a city where serious and fatal crashes are on the rise. City leaders said evidence shows drivers with multiple traffic violations are more likely to be involved in crashes.
Researchers have studied the relationship between repeat traffic offenders and serious collisions, with some data suggesting a strong connection between the two. But some researchers also have pointed to other factors at play, such as the amount of time the driver spends on the road and exposure to traffic enforcement（强制性）systems.
A team from The Lab led by Muriel E. Bowser, is examining data from the District's automated traffic enforcement program to predict a driver's likelihood of being involved in a serious crash. It will create a campaign that could include text messages and mail sent to a sample of high-risk drivers. “We will evaluate whether drivers who receive these messages have fewer red-light violations, speeding violations, and ultimately, crashes, compared to the group of high-risk drivers who do not receive the messages,” according to The Lab.
The program is among the latest road-safety measures with the purpose of cutting the growing number of traffic injuries and fatalities. Although the new messages appear as a warning to higher-risk drivers, city officials said the intention is to educate the recipient, Marootian said there is no violation or fine attached to the message and that the campaign is to use data to directly communicate with individual drivers. Some questioned whether the message will work.
【1】What do we know about the approach to sending pointed messages?
A．It may put the drivers at serious risk of crashing.
B．It can identify drivers with records of traffic accidents.
C．It will completely reduce serious injury and fatality crashes.
D．It is the newest attempt in response to the rising crashes.
【2】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A．Traffic offenders always cause serious accidents.
B．New drivers bear less blame for serious collisions.
C．Different elements may contribute to serious accidents.
D．Traffic offenders should spend less much time on the road.
【3】How do the team from The Lab know whether the approach works?
A．By sending messages to the drivers.
B．By comparing the impact of the approach on two groups.
C．By predicting the possibility of a driver's involvement in a crash.
D．By checking the response of the receivers who get the messages.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A traffic report.
B．A targeted approach.
C．A professional survey.
D．A teaching program.
24、 SkyDrive Inc. conducted a successful test drive of its new flying car on August 25 at the Toyota Test Field, one of the largest in Japan and home to the car company’s development base. The car, named SD-03, manned with a pilot and powered by electricity, took off and circled the field for about four minutes. It was the first public demonstration(演示) of a flying car in Japanese history.
“We are extremely excited to have achieved the manned flight of a flying car in the two years since we founded SkyDrive...with the goal of commercializing such aircraft,” CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa said. “We want to realize a society where flying cars are an accessible and convenient means of transport in the sky and people are able to experience a safe, secure, and comfortable new way of life.
