22、 The race to introduce the first commercial flying taxi is officially on. Google, Boeing and Porsche are among 20 companies testing their machines, laying the groundwork for wider production and starting to encourage government officials to bring autonomous all-electric vehicles into the skies in just a few years. Lilium, a German start-up company, has raised more than US $100 million from investors. Its prototype jet—which is still seeking certification from European regulators—is able to take off and land like a helicopter, and is quiet enough "to land in some areas that are traditionally off-limits to aircraft"—even midtown Manhattan.
However, the possibility of air vehicles over New York already represents a clear and present danger to public safety. New York skies are already filled with helicopters. Since 1983, there have been at least 30 helicopter crashes in the city. “There are several challenges to overcome before commuters are flying through the air,” said Dalvin Brown in USA Today. Many of the vehicles now being imagined require “magical electric batteries that doesn't exist—yet.” The best that anyone can do right now with an electric battery is 20 minutes of flight. An even bigger obstacle is gaining approval from the FAA(American Federal Aviation Administration), which has strict rules and guidelines for small aircraft, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
That's why the first practical commercial tests of autonomous taxis are likely to be outside the US, said Jeremy Bogaisky on Forbes.com. “EHang became the first company to receive approval from Chinese aviation regulators to establish an autonomous air-taxi service in Guangzhou.” To succeed in the US, air taxi companies will need much more than that. Taking a small aircraft through the regulatory forest of safety certification to production can cost US $75 to US $100 million.
【1】Which is special about the Lilium prototype jet, according to the passage?
A．It's the most expensive model.
B．It's already available on the market.
C．It's suitable to be used in cities.
D．It's suitable for midtown Manhattan.
【2】What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．The problems to overcome.
B．Public concerns about safety.
C．Related official policies.
D．Potential market risks.
【3】Which of the following best describes the approval process for everything from safety to production?
A．Quick and economical.
B．Strict and expensive.
C．Difficult and time-saving.
D．Unsafe and impractical.
【4】In which section of a newspaper can we read the text?
A．Environment
B．Travel
C．Entertainment
D．Technology

24、 Too much work and too much wine go together like biscuits and cheese, a new international study finds.
Employees who work more than 48 hours a week are 11% more likely to over consume wine than those who work a standard week, Finnish researchers say.
The study looked at more than 300,000 people in Australia, Europe and North America. No differences were seen between men and women, says the study.
Risky wine consumption is considered as more than 14 drinks a week for women and more than 21 drinks a week for men. About 20% of Australians drink at travels that put them at the risk of life time harm from injury or disease.
Drinking wine can affect the liver(肝脏)or cause brain damage, heart disease, high blood pressure and increases the risk of many cancers.
Study author Marianna Virtanen said while wine might help reduce the stress of working long periods of time, risky consumption could lead to difficulties in the workplace, such as poor performance.
The European Union Working Time Directive makes sure that workers in EU countries have the right to work no more than 48 hours a week, including overtime.
"But many people, for example well-educated managers and professionals, work much longer hours to achieve faster promotions, income increases, and more control over work and employment, ” said Prof. Virtanen of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.
In Australia, it's recommended that healthy men and women drink no more than two standard drinks a day.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the harm of drinking wine?
A.It can do damage to the brain.
B.It may bring about high blood pressure.
C.It may contribute to working overtime.
D.It can add to the risk of many cancers.
【2】From the passage, we can infer that .
A.the study was carried out all over the world
B.Australians drink more wine than Europeans
C.workers in EU countries have to work 48 hours a week
D.many people work longer hours for certain purposes
【3】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Long work hours and alcohol abuse are linked.
B.Working long period of time will do harm to our health.
C.To keep healthy men and women should not drink wine.
D.Many workers drink more wine than they should.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
The enduring power of print for learning in a digital world
Today's students see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology like smartphones, tablets and e-readers. We’ve seen students now equipped with school-issued iPads and access to e-textbooks. Given this trend, it might be assumed that students' familiarity and preference for technology translates into better learning outcomes. But more and more studies show that it’s not always the case. So, there are some lessons that can be conveyed to us about print’s place in an increasingly digital world.
We all read for many reasons. Sometimes we're looking for an answer to a very specific question. Other times, we want to browse a newspaper for today’s headlines. As we’re about to pick up an article or text in a printed or digital format, we should keep in mind why we're reading. There’s likely to be a difference in which medium works best for which purpose.
One of the most consistent findings of the studies is that, for some tasks, medium doesn't seem to matter. If all students are being asked to do is to understand and remember the big idea or gist of what they’re reading, there’s no benefit in selecting one medium over another. But when the reading assignment demands more engagement or deeper comprehension, students may be better off reading print. Teachers could make students aware that their ability to comprehend the assignment may be influenced by the medium they choose. This awareness could lessen the difference in students’ judgments of their performance compared with how they actually performed.
In another experiment, researchers were able to create meaningful records of college students based on the way they read and comprehended from printed and digital texts. Among those records, it was found that a select group of undergraduates who actually comprehended better when they moved from print to digital. But they actually read slower when the text was on the computer than when it was in a book. Using this select group as a model, students could possibly be taught or directed to fight the tendency to glide through online texts.
