21、Instead of extending your arm or using a selfie stick to snap shots of you and your crew, you could use a new pocket-size drone - "Air Selfie" to help you remotely capture aerial photos and videos.
The Air Selfie is the brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Edoardo Stroppiana, who came up with the idea in 2014. "Air Selfie is specifically designed and produced for people who used to think drone cameras are extremely complicated to use — too expensive and bulky," Stroppiana said.
The Air Selfie is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that can shoot full high-definition (HD) 1080p video, as well as a 4GB microSD card. Using the Air Selfie, people, groups and companies can take pictures of themselves, their backgrounds and their projects from distances, heights and angles that they never could using their arms or a stick, Stroppiana said.
The drone's four rotors help it fly up to 65 feet (20 meters) in the air. The flying camera measures only about 3.72 by 2.65 by 0.42 inches (9.45 by 6.73 by 1.07 centimeters) — "smaller than a smartphone," Stroppiana said — and weighs 1.83 ounces (52 grams).
The drone uses sonar to measure its altitude and keeps itself stable with the help of a tiny extra camera to monitor its surroundings for signs of jitters. It is also equipped with gyroscopes, barometers and geomagnetic sensors that help it navigate as it flies, said Air Selfie Holdings Ltd. in London, the company that Stroppiana co-founded in 2016 to manufacture the drone.
The Air Selfie is controlled via a free iOS or Android app. The app can make the drone to take off; adjust its height and direction; let it hover autonomously; and help users take an HD aerial shot or video with just a push of a button. Users can also activate a 10-second timer, giving people enough time to hide their phones so they don't appear in the picture or video. The drone can take up to eight consecutive shots, the company said.
The Air Selfie uses Wi-Fi to send photos and videos wirelessly to smartphones. The app also allows users to post photos and videos taken with the drone immediately on social media.
After snapping photos, the drone can return to its departure point automatically with the touch of a button. Users can also guide the Air Selfie back manually, and its manufacturers said it is safe for the drone to land on a person's open hand, or even for people to grab the drone while it is still stay in the midair.
A rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives the Air Selfie a flight time of 3 minutes, according to the company. An accessory known as the Power Bank slips over the Air Selfie like a smartphone case, and can recharge the drone in 30 minutes. The Power Bank can hold 20 such charges before it needs to be recharged, the company said. Users can also recharge the Air Selfie directly with a micro-USB cable.
The company said it developed a fully functioning prototype in August. On Nov. 17, the company launched a Kick starter campaign to make the Air Selfie available via reorder, and it met its $47,714 goal in less than three days. The campaign, which is scheduled to end Dec. 24, has raised more than $500,000 from more than 2,300 backers. In addition, the company has received $3 million from private angel investors in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and China, Stroppiana said.
The first preordered drones are scheduled for delivery in March. The drone is expected to hit the market in 2017 for a retail price of $300.
【1】Choose an item from A, B, C or D to complete the following process:
Use the app to make the drone take off | → | ________ to shoot pictures | → | Send pictures to smart phones | → | Post photos on social media |
A. let it hover B. adjust its height C. press a button D. activate the timer
【2】What’s a benefit of the AirSelfie compared to a selfie stick?
A. It is smaller and lighter.
B. It can be controlled at a distance.
C. It takes high-definition picture of videos.
D. People and companies can take pictures of themselves.
【3】The author of this passage seem to believe the AirSelfie drone is ___________.

22、In every level of education, students experience more or less stress and pressure. Several courses at a time, exams, homework, social challenges, homesickness, etc. are some common factors that make a student worried. In many cases, students struggle to adjust to heavy schedules and deadlines demanded by their institutions.【1】
Exercise
Doing exercise or participating in different kinds of sports helps to reduce stress and allows us to have a fresh and cheerful mind. 【2】Besides, doing yoga, meditation, cycling, and hanging out with friends and family will help a student to have a positive mood throughout the day.
Healthy diet
Many students like to eat junk food rather than a healthy diet. But everyone should know that a balanced diet helps to boost energy and brainpower. Eating green vegetables and fruits enriched with vitamin C helps to make the immune system stronger and more effective. 【3】And gradually you might become more inactive and unhealthy, which can badly affect your life and study.
Sleeping well
Sleeping can be the best medicine for you to increase your productivity and energy. Even a thirty minutes nap makes one more relieved. In many cases, we see that students packed with heavy schedules and deadlines put themselves in a sleepless and restless state.【4】So, it’s necessary to sleep at least 7-9 hours daily.
【5】
Many students don’t know how to reduce tension in the exam. The key to reducing the tension and stress of the exam is to use time wisely. Setting up a daily schedule for your study is necessary to complete your lessons and homework properly.
A．Time management
B．On the other hand, eating street food or junk food like pizza, or burger makes you overweight.
C．Here are some tips on how to reduce stress for students.
D．But it is very harmful to both body and mind.
E．Students should have enough sleep and sports every day.
F．Stress reduction.
G．Walking thirty minutes daily or doing everyday workouts helps to feel better.
23、You run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?
Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.
If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster than yours.
Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.
【1】What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A．Queuing in a line.
B．A shopping experience.
C．A rush in the morning.
D．Cutting in a line.
【2】According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?
A．The lack of employees in the grocery store.
B．Some unexpected delays of certain customers.
C．The increasing items bought by customers.
D．A worsening shopping system of the store.
【3】What is the solution given by mathematicians?
A．Employing more workers for checking out.
B．Limiting the number of queuing people.
C．Making only one line available.
D．Always standing in the same line.
【4】What's the principle behind the queuing theory?
A．To pursue the maximum benefit.
B．To leave success or failure to luck.
C．To avoid the minimum loss.
D．To spread the risk equally among everyone.
24、Harvest
Tabby walked on her way to school. She felt a sense of anticipation because this year she would be one of the graduates being honored at the town festival.
These days, she was waiting to hear back about an admission application she sent to her top- choice college. It had the program that she was most excited about. Today she stayed late at school to get feedback on another college essay from Ms. Mueller, her high school teacher. Ms. Mueller told Tabby that her essay was very moving and that she knew Tabby would miss her hometown, but her degree would be worth it. Tabby responded gratefully.
On the way home, the sight of the festival decorations made her feel guilty. She knew that most of her classmates could happily enjoy the festival knowing that they would be going on to do exactly what was expected of them-carrying on the town’s traditions by staying close to family and farm. Spending many years at a large university in a city somewhere far from home wasn’t supposed to be part of their plan.
When Tabby got home, her family was preparing packages with homemade cookies to sell at the festival.
“Let’s make an assembly line(流水线), ”said Tabby.
“Always trying to improve the process, aren’t you?” her brother laughed. Tabby knew what he was referring to. Last summer, Tabby discovered a technique for improving grain storage without costly equipment, which was adopted by local farmers.
After completing packing, Tabby went to her room. On her bed, she saw a large envelope from the college she was waiting to hear from. She had been accepted into the famous college-the one with the world-renowned agricultural science program!
The first person Tabby shared the news with was her grandfather. He gave her a big hug. “I guess my scientist girl still has farming in the blood, ” he said. “Yes! And I will come back and do some research right here in a few years, ” she said. “Well, this old farm could certainly use some improvements! I’m proud of you, Tabby!” he said.
【1】Why did Tabby stay late at school?
A．To get advice on her college essay.
B．To say goodbye to her teacher.
C．To express her thanks to her high school.
D．To wait for her admission letter.
【2】Tabby felt guilty because she ________ .
A．failed to live up to her teacher’s expectations
B．skipped out on helping set up the decorations
C．planned on leaving to pursue a higher education
D．could not assist her classmates to get into college
【3】According to the passage, Tabby will probably ________.
A．contribute to the farming in her hometown
B．choose a famous college close to her home
C．adopt her grandfather’s advice to be a scientist
D．apply her knowledge to college agriculture projects

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。
Being Planted
“106!” The cry of disappointment breaks the silence of the peaceful night.
In darkness, he stands still there, with tears dropping continuously from his eyes.
He is a 5th-year Ph.D. student majoring in biology. This is his 106th attempt to cultivate strawberries which could bear extreme climates. In his 105th experiment, he did all the pre-processes that he knew which could lead him closer to his goal. Every generation of the strawberry seemed to bring him closer to success, but every time the result was alike — failure, failure, failure. He has literally got used to it. But this time, he can hardly help feeling frustrated and angry.
“Who stole my experimental strawberry!”
Last night, when he got to the field, he was thrilled. Although most of the plants were obviously dying, one plant stood vigorously in the middle of the experimental field. The plant was labeled “Plant No. 106” . What a coincidence! In his 106th attempt, the 106th plant was finally mutating (变异) in its ideal way — the spark of hope, to him.
Last night, Plant No. 106’s fruit started to turn red. He was never so close to success. What he needed to do was to wait for several days to harvest that pink, shiny, attractive fruit.
But this night, the fruit disappears. So does his hope.
“3 years’ effort! 1096 days’ struggling! 13152 hours’ DNA editing and experiment. ALL GONE!” he murmurs to himself. He regrets that he didn’t get a small sample of the stolen strawberry last night.
Now he is using his fingers to dig the ground. He doesn’t know why he is doing so. He is well aware that the results of the past 106 attempts are all wasted because of the incident and his not taking the sample in time. He has no seeds left. At the present, he seems to have only 2 choices: to start from the very beginning, or to give up.
要求：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He uses his finger to dig the soil of that inch of field which used to contain his hope.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He is so excited that he bursts into tears.
