21、Those of us making grand travel plans might want to consider the final frontier as a destination. That’s because Orbital Assembly Corporation, a new construction company run by former pilot John Blincow, is planning to open a luxury space hotel by 2027. Voyager Station, as it’s being called, would accommodate 280 guests and 112 crew members while aiming to be the first commercial space hotel upon completion.
“We’re trying to make the public realize that this golden age of space travel is just around the corner. It’s coming. It’s coming fast,” Blincow said in an interview. The golden age of space travel is coming indeed, as space tourism has drawn the attention of Richard Branson and Elon Musk. And it’s the latter that Blincow and his team hope to partner in the near future. “We cannot call Musk’s SpaceX our partner, but in the future we look forward to working with them,” Blincow said.
The physics involved in sleeping within a space hotel is similar to spinning water in a bucket. Much in the same way one can spin a bucket in a circle, keeping the water inside of it, the space hotel would simulate gravity in a similar manner. This makes comfortable rooms and stylish bar experiences possible.
But for many visitors who venture so far, feeling the weightlessness of space is a big part of the appeal. The team plans to serve traditional space food such as freeze-dried ice cream in the hotel’s restaurant. There are plans for recreational activities such as basketball games where participants can soar higher due to the weightlessness of the environment.
For now, the space hotel isn’t commenting on its room rate, but comparing it to other proposed public space missions, it will come at a high cost. For example, Virgin Galactic plans to take ordinary passengers into space at $250,000 per person, per trip. The team at Voyager Station, however, has already assured the public that they plan to eventually make a stay at the hotel something similar to buying a cruise ticket.
【1】What can we know about Voyager Station?
A．It aims to train pilots.
B．It has been put into use.
C．It’s the name of a spaceship.
D．It is still under construction.
【2】Why are Richard Branson and Elon Musk mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．To show the popularity of them.
B．To stress the coming of space travel.
C．To list Blincow’s partners at present.
D．To show examples of space agencies.
【3】The third paragraph focuses on ________.
A．stylish bars
B．water in a bucket
C．space travel experience
D．the physics involved in the space hotel
【4】Which of the following may attract visitors greatly when living in the space hotel?
A．Its price.
B．Its room rate.
C．Feeling the weightlessness of space.
D．Playing basketball games with famous players.
22、Nenad Sestan was working in his office one afternoon in 2016, when he heard his lab members whispering with excitement over a microscope. He realized something beyond their expectations was happening.
The researchers, at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, had found electrical activity in brains taken from dead pigs. With that shocking result, Sestan realized what had started as a side project to find ways to better preserve brain tissue for research had changed into a discovery that could redefine our understanding of life and death.
The excitement soon turned to concern, when the researchers thought they saw widespread, consistent electrical activity which can indicate consciousness( 意识 ). Sestan brought in a neurologist, who determined the readout was actually an error, but the possibility had frightened them.
Sestan kept his cool and immediately did two things: he shut down the experiment and contacted the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as a Yale bioethicist(生物伦理学家). Over the next few months, experts discussed the potential ethical implications, such as whether the brains could become conscious and whether physicians needed to reconsider the definition of brain death.
They submitted the work to Nature. But before the final paper was published, Sestan met sharp criticism from the press. Some even suggested that the researchers were engineering immortality(永生), or maintaining a room full of living brains in jars. Neither he nor his team wanted to discuss the results until the paper was out, but as their inboxes filled with concerns and anger from animal rights activists and futurists, Sestan became depressed. He felt all they could do, however, was to hold off on correcting public misunderstandings until the expert review process had run its course.
Since the paper was published in April, 2019, the team has been so busy fielding questions from the media and scientists that it hasn’t performed any further experiments. Sestan wants to focus on his original questions and explore how long the brains can be maintained and whether the technology can preserve other organs.
“We want to get outside opinion before we do anything,” Sestan says. “When you explore uncharted territory, you have to be extremely thoughtful.”
【1】What happened in the lab at Yale School of Medicine in 2016?
A．A better method was found to maintain brain tissue.
B．Researchers discovered how to redefine brain death.
C．Brains from dead pigs were accidentally discovered alive.
D．Researchers arrived at the expected results of the experiment.
【2】Why did Nenad Sestan stop the experiment?
A．He needed assistance with the final paper.
B．He spotted a major mistake in the final result.
C．He was frightened by the possibility of failure.
D．He was concerned about the related moral issues.
【3】What was people’s reaction towards Nenad Sestan’s experiment?
A．The press were strongly opposed to the experiment.
B．Some people supported the research on immortality.
C．Nobody wanted to discuss the final result in advance.
D．The public took a positive attitude towards the experiment.
【4】How could we best describe Nenad Sestan?
A．Responsible and reliable.
B．Cooperative and creative.
C．Determined and inspiring.
D．Professional and cautious.
23、 With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the last mile of the delivery process, from the store to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.
The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to stay away from pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, like garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.
Though Amazon hasn’t revealed how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them before the delivery, to unlock the cargo bay. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs recharging Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human in tow, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location however, will be tracked at all times—if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly alerted.
While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, food and grocery delivery company Postmates’ bug-eyed robots are currently making their rounds along the busy San Francisco streets. Also in test-mode, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge.
Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles, motor bikes, and large delivery trucks that typically ferry packages, they can t climb stairs or open gates, which means they can only reach consumers living the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers aren’t home. whether these issues get solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to satisfy the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.
【1】What is the right feature of the Scout robots?
A.They can be powered themselves. B.They know to avoid obstacles ahead.
C.They can run thanks to their six wheels. D.They’re big enough to carry heavy things.
【2】What about Scout is still confusing to common people?
A.How long it will take to get it fully charged.
B.Why its cargo bay can open at the right time.
C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things.
D.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.
【3】What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?
A.They are not easily available. B.They’ll replace humans soon.
C.They have some limitations. D.They won’t be well accepted.
【4】What should be the best title for the text?
A.Improvements Are Being Made To Delivery robot Technology.
B.Amazon has Planned To Put A Creative Delivery Robot Into Use.
C.Eco-friendly delivery Robots Are Springing Up Around America.
D.Amazon’s delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking At Your Door.
24、Animals, including insects, don't have a "language" like ours. They do not 'talk' to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating with each other.
Can you see the rabbit's tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.
Many other animals use this kind of "language". When a cobra is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look powerful . This warns other animals. When a bee has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot 'tell' the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals "say" things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like "Oh" or "Ah" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
