27、   About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors.

There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around us.

【1】According to the passage, what can we do with the help of the “cones”?

A.We can tell different shapes. B.We can tell orange from yellow.

C.We can kill mosquitoes. D.We can see in a weak light.

【2】Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

A.There are fewer color-blind women.

B.Women are more careful.

C.Women are fonder of driving than men.

D.Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

【3】Which of the statements about the color-blind is true?

A.All of them see everything in shades of green.

B.None of them can see deep red.

C.None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.

D.Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.

【4】What light can we use to attract and kill mosquitoes?

A.A red light. B.A yellow light. C.A green light. D.A blue light.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Color and its surprising effects. B.Women being luckier than men.

C.Color blindness. D.Danger caused by color blindness.

28、An 82-year-old Chinese female pilot has set a record in the country's airline industry (航空业) after flying a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. Miao Xiaohong, one of China's second batch (一批) of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Bejjing.

In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions (任务). In 1963, she accepted a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility (能见度) prevented her locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task.

In 1989, she retired and started her writing carer. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. “Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open,” she said.

The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, “My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I'm 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me.”

【1】What can we learn from the airdrop mission carried out by Miao Xiaohong?

A．She was a very lucky pilot.

B．She had excellent flying skills.

C．She suffered from poor eyesight.

D．She always finished hard tasks.

【2】What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82?

A．Her deep love for sky.

B．Her wish to set a flying record.

D．The requirements of her books.

【3】Which of the following word can best describe Miao Xiaohong?

B．Stubborn.

C．Generous.

D．Determined.

【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
