21、 Small seating in the economy-class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.
A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane's safety tips in case of emergency. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.
A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a menace to passengers, "We don't think it is a safety matter," he said, "We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them?" In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.
Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”— with an 86-centimeter seat Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable eats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres. Some Qatar Airways offer the chance to upgrade - at a price - to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.
【1】Which is true according to the report from doctors of Vienna?
A.10% of passengers in economy class adopt the brace position.
B.More spaces could increase the chance of survival.
C.30% of passengers on board adopt the brace position.
D.Passengers in first class are most likely to survive.
【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3?
A.Threat. B.Advantage. C.Bonus. D.Concern.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.
B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could increase danger in the crash.
C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.
D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge,
【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?
A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel.
22、The University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the "Gaokao" exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its. undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.
Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences.
University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmingham's wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. "
Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements.
Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birmingham's China Institute said:"The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham.

23、A Day in My Wheel Chair
Alex Johnson was born with a rare disorder and got his first wheelchair when he was 7 years old. When he was 11, he arranged to get a bunch of borrowed wheelchairs and then invited his teachers and fellow students to spend a day in them.
Dozens of volunteers quickly learned how complicated it was for Alex to get around the school. Balancing a lunch tray while also rolling down the cafeteria line? Super tricky. Those who participated also learned about the aches and pains Alex struggles with daily. There’s also the arduous, if not impossible, task of rolling a manual wheelchair up and down slopes.
Doors are the worst, they said, because they’re heavy and difficult to pull open from a rolling chair. And although the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifies that doorways need to be wide enough to allow a wheelchair and the person’s hands to pass through safely, but many doors in older buildings are just too narrow.
But making the world more accessible for wheelchair users is a public policy issue controlled by government officials, so Alex recently challenged the Tennessee House of Representatives to spend a day in wheelchairs. And 10 men and women took him up on it! For a full day, they worked at their desks and attended all their regular meetings in wheelchairs. The lawmakers had the same eye-opening experiences that Alex’s school pals had.
State Representative Clark Boyd said, “I expected it to be difficult, but I had no idea how frustrating it could be to just simply get around.”
Thanks to comparable wheelchair challenges around the world, more lawmakers are getting the opportunity to learn more about what it’s like for the millions of people living with a mobility disability. “My hope is that through my challenge we can make the world more accessible,” Alex said. “Together, we can change the world, one challenge at a time.”
【1】In what way were the students’ experiences of spending a day in wheelchairs and the lawmakers’ experiences similar?
A．Gaining a better understanding of what life is like for disabled people.
B．Learning that making the world more accessible is government officials’ work.
C．Learning how tiring it is to roll a wheelchair to move around the school building.
D．Understanding what it’s like for Alex to balance a lunch tray while in a wheelchair.
【2】In paragraph 3, the word “arduous” is closest in the meaning to “_________”.
A．compulsory
B．fruitless
C．ridiculous
D．challenging
【3】Why did the writer quote Clark Boyd’s remark?
A．To criticize the ADA for the narrow doors in buildings.
B．To show that Clark felt sympathy for wheelchair users.
C．To demonstrate that he had decided to change the public policy issues.
D．To convince the reader that lawmakers can make the world more accessible.
