21、Instead of extending your arm or using a selfie stick to snap shots of you and your crew, you could use a new pocket-size drone - "Air Selfie" to help you remotely capture aerial photos and videos.
The Air Selfie is the brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Edoardo Stroppiana, who came up with the idea in 2014. "Air Selfie is specifically designed and produced for people who used to think drone cameras are extremely complicated to use — too expensive and bulky," Stroppiana said.
The Air Selfie is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that can shoot full high-definition (HD) 1080p video, as well as a 4GB microSD card. Using the Air Selfie, people, groups and companies can take pictures of themselves, their backgrounds and their projects from distances, heights and angles that they never could using their arms or a stick, Stroppiana said.
The drone's four rotors help it fly up to 65 feet (20 meters) in the air. The flying camera measures only about 3.72 by 2.65 by 0.42 inches (9.45 by 6.73 by 1.07 centimeters) — "smaller than a smartphone," Stroppiana said — and weighs 1.83 ounces (52 grams).
The drone uses sonar to measure its altitude and keeps itself stable with the help of a tiny extra camera to monitor its surroundings for signs of jitters. It is also equipped with gyroscopes, barometers and geomagnetic sensors that help it navigate as it flies, said Air Selfie Holdings Ltd. in London, the company that Stroppiana co-founded in 2016 to manufacture the drone.
The Air Selfie is controlled via a free iOS or Android app. The app can make the drone to take off; adjust its height and direction; let it hover autonomously; and help users take an HD aerial shot or video with just a push of a button. Users can also activate a 10-second timer, giving people enough time to hide their phones so they don't appear in the picture or video. The drone can take up to eight consecutive shots, the company said.
The Air Selfie uses Wi-Fi to send photos and videos wirelessly to smartphones. The app also allows users to post photos and videos taken with the drone immediately on social media.
After snapping photos, the drone can return to its departure point automatically with the touch of a button. Users can also guide the Air Selfie back manually, and its manufacturers said it is safe for the drone to land on a person's open hand, or even for people to grab the drone while it is still stay in the midair.
A rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives the Air Selfie a flight time of 3 minutes, according to the company. An accessory known as the Power Bank slips over the Air Selfie like a smartphone case, and can recharge the drone in 30 minutes. The Power Bank can hold 20 such charges before it needs to be recharged, the company said. Users can also recharge the Air Selfie directly with a micro-USB cable.
The company said it developed a fully functioning prototype in August. On Nov. 17, the company launched a Kick starter campaign to make the Air Selfie available via reorder, and it met its $47,714 goal in less than three days. The campaign, which is scheduled to end Dec. 24, has raised more than $500,000 from more than 2,300 backers. In addition, the company has received $3 million from private angel investors in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and China, Stroppiana said.
The first preordered drones are scheduled for delivery in March. The drone is expected to hit the market in 2017 for a retail price of $300.
【1】Choose an item from A, B, C or D to complete the following process:
Use the app to make the drone take off | → | ________ to shoot pictures | → | Send pictures to smart phones | → | Post photos on social media |
A. let it hover B. adjust its height C. press a button D. activate the timer
【2】What’s a benefit of the AirSelfie compared to a selfie stick?
A. It is smaller and lighter.
B. It can be controlled at a distance.
C. It takes high-definition picture of videos.
D. People and companies can take pictures of themselves.
【3】The author of this passage seem to believe the AirSelfie drone is ___________.
A. expensive B. energy-saving C. environmentally friendly D. promising
22、 I’m Jeff Logan, president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation. I’m very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently (永久). That’s something we would hate to see happen.
Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time. We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children. A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community. It’s a place where we all gather, no matter what our interests, and no matter what ages, young and old, rich and poor.
But how much longer will classic theaters remain open? Just like other industries, movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic (流行病) and are going dark. The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic, because the studios don't want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open. As we all know, the theaters can’t do well and can’t get back to full 7-day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.
Recently, the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends. However, like many theaters, it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity. Since opening, several new safety measures have been put in place. Block off every other row. People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group. Staff spray the theater with disinfectant (消毒剂) after every show. And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.
Even so, some people still aren’t comfortable going to a movie theater yet. I fully understand that. Anyhow, I just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters, like taking part in a new national proposal called “Save Your Cinema.”
【1】What does the underlined word “fabric” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Typical feature. B.Basic structure. C.Public support. D.Common vision.
【2】Why are the film studios unwilling to release the new movies?
A.Cinemas don’t operate normally.
B.New movies aren’t welcomed.
C.People don’t like going to cinema.
D.Many cinemas go out of business.
【3】What can we infer about the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema after its reopening?
A.It makes a lot of money.
B.It does well in disease prevention.
C.It receives a large audience every day.
D.It offers more enjoyable experience.
【4】What is the purpose of this text?
A.To share the good old days.
B.To explain a social problem.
C.To recommend a theater.
D.To ask for people’s help.
23、 The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.
“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion,” said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with papercuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.
【1】What Li Shunzhi said implies ________.
A.what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B.people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C.people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D.the New Year holiday is just like any other day
【2】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B.Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C.Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D.Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
【3】What does the whole passage show?
A.The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B.The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C.The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D.The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.
24、Each year, the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace. Dressed in aprons (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at both towns' starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (抛) their pancakes and they're off!
This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day before the Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out, still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it.
In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church and pancake racing was born. Olney women continue this Shrove Tuesday tradition more than 500 years later.
In 1950, inspired by a picture of the Olney Pancake Race in a magazine, a resident of Liberal wanted his town to join in the fun. He called Olney to set up a friendly competition, and the people of Olney accepted.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice —once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.
In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney's festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days, including a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes.

25、I still remember my kindergarten teacher Mrs White. I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to _________ a lot. I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and _________ many mistakes. But no red _________ . And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! That would fill my heart with_________ . But it _________ my mother, so one day she asked Mrs White why she never pointed out my spelling or grammatical errors. Mrs White explained, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words. I don’t want to weaken that _________ with red ink. Spelling and grammar can_________. The wonder of words won't.”
It _________ me that if Mrs White had used her red pen more_________I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather__________teacher—to exercise such red-pen-restraint(克制); to allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression—however__________ the expression is. Because to bloom is better than not to bloom.
I used to misspell “ beautiful” a lot. Never could I quite remember that the “ e” went before the “a”. Eventually the e’s and a’s __________ into their right places. I’m glad I didn't wait on them, though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t __________ as much as you mean sometimes. And __________ Mrs White I didn’t hesitate to write what I meant __________I couldn't quite spell it out. Because Life isn't Pretty. It’s Beautiful.
