24、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.

However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔） we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure （气压） reduces one third of the sensibility （感觉） of our taste buds. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.

All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy （辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

【1】In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ________.

A．passengers stay long in the plane

B．food on the plane tastes bad

C．passengers have no food to eat

D．food on the plane is expensive

【2】What do airlines do to solve this problem?

A．Get more customers.

B．Offer more food.

C．Improve their food.

D．Reduce（减少） the ticket price.

【3】Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?

A．The volunteers don’t know about food taste.

B．The volunteers don’t understand them.

C．They can’t find enough volunteers.

D．They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Taste of Airplane Food

B．Airplane Travel

C．Scientific Research on Noses

D．The Change in Air Pressure

25、In the world there are a lot of people using public transport, some love it and still some dislike it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.

British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are traveling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and lowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are traveling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.

Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of traveling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.

What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users.

27、We were standing at the top of a church tower．My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome．I wondered why．

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me．I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago．I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible way．Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square．
