21、A new set of rules are being brought in for kids and adults who own and fly drones(无人机).Children and adults who use drones now have to pass an online theory test and be registered as a drone operator.From 30 November 2019,anyone who hasn’t done these,could be fined£1,000.
The new rules are from the Civil Aviation Authority(CAA)--they’re the people responsible for monitoring(监测)air traffic and develop the rules that apply to drones.They apply to anyone responsible for a drone or an unmanned aircraft(飞行器)such as a model plane weighing at least 250g.Those who register will get a unique ID which must be displayed on their drones.
The test is done online.It has 20 questions and should take around 20 minutes to complete.To pass,the person taking it,needs to get 16 out of 20 correct!But the test can be taken more than once.
The CAA decided that there should be some stricter rules about who can and can't fly a drone.
With more and more drones being spotted near airports--where they can cause problems--it is important to have stricter rules.In December 2018,1,000 flights were cancelled for 36 hours,after reported drone sightings in the airspace of Gatwick Airport.140,000 passengers had to change or cancel their travel plans because of the sightings.This new online safety test has been designed to make sure those flying drones will do so safely.In March 2019,the drone no-fly area around airports was extended(延伸)from 1km to 5km.This was to prevent the devices(设备)causing trouble at airports.
As well as keeping drones and other devices flying safe and legal,the new rules will come in handy for lost devices.Once a device has been registered and has its own ID number,it’ll be easier for it to be returned to the right place!
【1】What are the new rules?
A．Those who use drones must register them legally.
B．People are not allowed to use drones weighing above 250g.
C．Kids shouldn’t use drones without being accompanied by parents.
D．People are permitted to use drones within 1km to 5km around airports.
【2】Why are stricter rules needed?
A．Drones are dangerous to kids.
B．Airplanes are often disturbed by flying drones.
C．The original rules are broken by many drone users.
D．Drones are often beyond operators control in the air
【3】What is a benefit of the registration?
A．Finding lost drones.
B．Keeping children entertained.
C．Monitoring airplanes at airports.
D．Speeding up the development of drones.
【4】Which of the following statements is correct?
A．Only people who are under 18 should have the online safety test.
B．The stricter the rules are,the less frequently people will fly their drones.
C．If a person wants to pass the test,he needs to get at least 80%of full marks.
D．As long as one registers a fly drone legally,he can fly it wherever he wants.
22、 Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy, and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker. So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school’s occupational therapist, thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering.
Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn’t do. After the outside search for a method came up short, she looked within the school itself for an answer. Amy turned to the school’s robotics instructor.
The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later.
Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn’t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor.
Now, between classes Nick steers his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence.
【1】Why did Amy Smith want a device?
A．To increase her student’s confidence.
B．To encourage cooperation at school.
C．To inspire a robotics invention.
D．To help treat a muscle disease.
【2】With a sensor in his wheelchair, Nick can ________.
A．move around easily
B．put his things away
C．continue his schooling
D．open and close his locker
【3】According to the passage, which words can best describe Micah and Wyatt?
A．Caring and passionate.
B．Talented and ambitious.
C．Sensitive and insightful.
D．Humble and warmhearted.
23、 Movies were more than photographs and different from books. They transmitted romance, danger and comedy straight into your emotional bloodstream, with no need for translation and no cultural barriers. They were creating another world out there on the screen, a world of joy and sadness, laughter, romance, places far away in space and in time, heroes and heroines and ordinary people — a world that moviegoers could enter and live other lives. They were giving our audience a common culture.
Over the decades, movies and movie theaters have survived many competing technologies that threatened their extinction, among them television, VHS tapes, DVDs and Blu-rays, and streaming. Through all of these worthwhile advances, people continued to leave their homes to watch movies in theaters. From 2010, just after streaming became important, to the beginning of 2020, the number of movie theaters nationwide remained nearly constant, going from 5,773 to 5,798. Annual ticket sales dropped by only 7 percent, from about 1.33 billion to about 1.24 billion.
Seeing a movie in a public theater on a giant screen, surrounded by other people, is not only entertainment. It is also an experience, a communal activity, a night out of the house almost everyone can afford.
Then came the covid-19 pandemic. Few industries have suffered more than movie theaters. The small number of theaters that remain open have seen attendance decline dramatically. If theaters do not survive, something irreplaceable will have been lost. We are social creatures. No matter how comfortable our living rooms and complex our technology we need community, we need physical contact with one another.
On the screen were the enduring themes of chivalry, good vs. evil, conquest and dominion, fashioned for our technological age. We moviegoers left the theater in crowds, talking to each other, sharing impressions, some of us speechless. But all of us felt that we now shared some magical bond. Lawmakers should act to save that magic.
【1】In what respect are movies different from books?
A．They stand the test of time and space.
B．They create a world of joy and sadness.
C．They bring emotions into your bloodstream.
D．They are shared across languages and cultures.
【2】Why did the author mention annual movie ticket sales drop?
A．To show the decline of film industries.
B．To give evidence on the new social trend.
C．To indicate movie theaters remain popular.
D．To prove the advances in other technologies.
【3】What would be lost if theaters do not survive the pandemic?
A．A form of social bond between us.
B．The level of comfort on the screen.
C．A dancing style of physical contact.
D．The great joy of advanced technology.
【4】What would the author probably agree to do about movie theatres?
A．To make laws to control them.
B．To take action to support them.
C．To lay out plans for their expansion.
D．To let them be part of our sweet memory.
24、 You’ve got your fancy new suitcase and you’re ready to take it with you on your travels across the globe.
You get to the airport, quickly moving through the crowds on the uneven pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heart sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobbles (摇晃).
Why does this happen?
Scientists from the Universite Paris-Diderot in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A. They also suggested some solutions to overcome this modern-day problem.
To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill (跑步机) and observed what happened.
It was soon noted that the “wobble” was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back down to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to lift off the ground and then to bang back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.
“The suitcase is a fun way to tackle the problem, but the study would be the same for any trolley with two wheels or blades (桨叶),” Sylvain Courrech du Pont, lead author of the study, told BBC News. “So it will be the same for a caravan (大篷车) or maybe also for airplanes.”
Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up. This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying. They also said that reducing the angle of the suitcase by lowering its handle to the ground would help keep it steady.
“These findings could help researchers simulate and design better rolling suitcases and other pulled trolleys, such as towed trailers ,” Courrech du Pont added.
With these masterminds (智者) working on perfecting our suitcase problems, wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history, leaving us to enjoy our travels.
