21、The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into the sea.
Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames (火焰) coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.
In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.
What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty—six minutes.

23、A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months．
The system，called driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue．
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘)．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time．Usually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible．
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests，scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the markers will bring the product to market within about a year．
【】According to the text，Driver Alert ______．
A．aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents
B．has gone through testing at laboratories
C．aims to prevent drivers from sleeping
D．has been on sale for 12 months
【】How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert？
A．By sounding a warning
B．By touching the wristband
C．By checking the driving time
D．By pressing the steering wheel
【】We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ______．
A．About 400 milliseconds
B．below 500 milliseconds
C．over 500 milliseconds
D．about 400 minutes
【】When the driver gets sleepy while driving，Driver Alert ______．
A．moves more regularly

C．opens the window for the driver
D．sounds more frequently and loudly
24、 Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Optimistic. D.Negative.
【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.The present and past times.
B.Machinery and human beings.
C.Imaginations and inventions.
D.Modern technology and its influence.
25、As a businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom you feel affection, _______ can also drive you mad. They’ll come rushing in, saying their handbag’s been stolen. They’ll _______ that they left it in the changing room, create havoc (混乱) and then discover it had been in their car all the time. They’ll have out half the _______ in the shop, and want the only style you don’t have left in a _______ colour. I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep _______.
I remember the first really _______ customer we had at Covent Garden. She was _______ absolutely everything, nothing was right and I was rather surprised that she became a “regular”. After a while, she _______ for the way she behaved at the beginning. She had split up with her husband the week before, was living in a flat _______ , and since she’d found it too much to cope with (应对), she’d taken it out on other people.
That taught me a valuable lesson and I pass it on to the people who__________in the market. Don’t take it __________. If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband. Maybe her child’s not __________.” Always water it down and don’t let your ego (自我) get __________.
