24、
It’s the year 2021. So where are all the flying cars? The large majority of people still get to work and school in boring, ground-bound cars. Not to mention buses, trains and bikes. Yet some still dream of a day when we can soar above the traffic on the ground.
In Singapore in 2019, the company Volocopter demonstrated (演示) a flying taxi. An electric engine powers the craft (飞行器), and it doesn’t need a runway. A pilot flew the test model. But in the near future, these helicopter-like vehicles will be able to fly by themselves while carrying two or more passengers and their things.
If some people traveled in flying taxis, there would be fewer cars on the roads, thus reducing traffic there. In the 3D space of the air, vehicles can move around each other without bridges or tunnels (隧道) or extra lanes. The taxis could also take off and land on rooftops, freeing up parking lot spaces on the ground. What’s more, flying is fun. Wouldn’t it be cool to move rapidly through the sky every day on your way to work or school?
However, there are quite a few good reasons why we don’t already have flying cars. The famous inventor Elon Musk runs the rocket company Space X and electric car company Tesla Motors. So he seems like the perfect person to make flying cars a reality. But he said, “If the sky was full of cars flying all over the place, it would affect how things look. It would be noisier and there would be a greater probability of something falling on your head.” And aircraft crashes would be more serious than car crashes.
Musk thinks building lots of tunnels underground is a safer way for future transportation. He even has a company working on this idea: The Boring Company. (The name is a play on words. “Boring” means “drilling a hole” and “uninteresting”.) What do you think? Are flying cars or taxis a good idea? Or should we find other ways to solve the world’s transportation problems?
【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The appearance of a flying taxi.
B.An introduction of the company Volocopter.
C.A flying taxi test model and its coming future.
D.A personal experience of taking a flying taxi.
【2】What advantages can flying cars bring about?
①Having less traffic on roads. ②Making daily life more interesting.
③Having more parking lot spaces. ④Making it easier to carry more passengers.
A.①②③
B.①②④
C.①③④
D.②③④
【3】What does the underlined word “crashes” most probably mean?
A.Diseases.
B.Pollution.
C.Shortages.
D.Accidents.
【4】What business does the Boring Company do?
A.Sending up rockets.
B.Building underground tunnels.
C.Producing flying cars.
D.Developing 3D building Apps.
【5】Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.Do you really want a flying car?
B.Why are flying cars a perfect idea?
C.Can we make noiseless flying cars?
D.How is the flying car developed?
25、 Everyone loves money! But do you know where money came from? Who were the first people to use money? Scientists say that over 10,000 years ago, people in Swaziland(斯威士兰), Southern Africa, were using red dye(染料) as a type of money around that period of time. Later, people in several places used shells and other valuable things as a type of money to “buy” or “trade for” things they wanted. This is known as a form of trade where some goods are exchanged for other goods.
Many things have been used as “money” from pigs to salt. For a long time, pepper(胡椒粉) could be used to “pay for” things in Europe. On the Micronesian island of Yap, people used very big stone “coins”, some of which were up to eight feet wide and weighed more than a small car.
But the most convenient forms of money were pieces of valuable metals like gold and silver. Historians think that the Lydians were the first people to introduce the use of gold and silver coins around 650 BC. Gold and silver are still quite valuable today.
The first banknotes(纸币) appeared in China in the 7th century, and the first banknotes in Europe came out in 1661.
Money has changed through the ages. However, it is more important today than ever before.
【1】How long ago did people start using money?
A.Perhaps 1,000 years ago.

【2】According to the article, what things have been used for money?
A.Pigs, pepper and dyes.

D.Bananas, rocks and pencils.
【3】We can summarize(总结) the second paragraph in the following sentence.
A.The first money was used only in Swaziland.
B.Shells were used as clothing a long time ago.
C.The banknotes appeared in China and Europe at different times.
D.Large stones, pigs, salt and pepper were used as early types of money.
【4】Before banknotes appeared, are the most convenient forms of money and still valuable today.
A.dye and pepper B.pigs and salt
C.shells and stones D.gold and silver
【5】What's the main idea of the article?
A.Everyone loves money.
B.People have used different forms of money for a long time.

26、The first part of a new science-fiction series (系列剧)was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飞船)which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22ndcentury. First, we’ll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.
Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea o fpeace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can beoptimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is ‘communicators’. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest manchine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different placein a second!
The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company (公司)will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!
【1】【1】What is Star Trek?
A. A TV play. B. A popular song.
C. A spacecraft. D. An alien.
【2】【2】What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?
A. Lucky and happy.
B. Hopeful and confident.
C. Helpful and creative.
D. Thankful and popular.
【3】【3】What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek?
A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.
B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.
C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.
【4】【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Aliens on Other Planets.
B. The Idea of Human Life.
C. A Science Fiction.
D. A New Series about Future.
