21、Do flying cars only exist in dreams of a far-off future? Well, the future may be closer than you think. Let’s take a look at some modes of transport that we could be using in the future.

Flying taxi

Slovakian engineering company AeroMobil has designed the world’s first 4-seater flying taxi. AeroMobil’s AM Next is a hybrid(混合物) —half supercar, half lightweight aircraft. It’s able to transform between the two modes of transport in fewer than 3 minutes as its wings move into the appropriate positions. It is expected to be released in 2027 and will be able to fly a distance of up to 500 miles (about 800 kilometers) between major cities.

Gyroscopic transport

Gyroscopic transport is a revolutionary new mode of transport that is being planned. It is the use of large pods supported by flexible legs that transport passengers over existing roads. These legs can adjust their length according to traffic demands and to allow passengers to board. One of the best elements of this mode of transport is that it can operate over existing infrastructure(基础设施) .

Hyperloop

Hyperloop has created a lot of excitement recently and received backing from many influential people in the tech world. Elon Musk, CEO of Space X, is one of the main advocates of the hyperloop. He has argued it could ease traffic in Los Angeles, US. The hyperloop is a high-speed public transportation system in which passengers travel in autonomous electric pods at about 965 kilometers per hour. Virgin Hyperloop, a US transport technology company, conducted its first human trials of a hyperloop system in November 2020.

【1】What do we know about AeroMobil’s AM Next?

A．It will be the world’s first flying car.

B．It could be in use in just 2 years’ time.

C．It can fly a maximum of 800 miles each trip.

D．It can switch between modes within 3 minutes.

【2】What is an advantage of gyroscopic transport?

A．It can travel either above or below ground.

B．It can travel independent of traffic flow on the roads.

C．It’s quicker and cheaper to build than other vehicles.

D．It can hold more passengers than other forms of transport.

【3】What is Elon Musk’s attitude toward the hyperloop?

A．Doubtful.

B．Worried.

C．Critical.

D．Positive.

23、The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.

Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.

Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pål Liljebäck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljebäck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.

Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.

The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Åsgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.

【1】What is one feature of Eelume?

A．It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.

B．It can dive as deep as 500 meters.

C．It works mainly around the station.

D．It works for 6 months on one charge.

【2】What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?

A．They are too costly to maintain.

B．They are hard to operate remotely.

C．They require transportation to and from work.

D．They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.

【3】What can be expected of Eelume in the future?

A．It will require no further tests.

B．It will be worth around $ 7 billion.

C．It will be put on the market in 2027.

D．It will face a lot of competitors.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.

B．Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.

C．Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.

D．Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.

24、I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.

And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.

But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)

My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.

Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

【1】The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.

A. he was hurt in a terrible car accident

B. most families chose to go car-free

C. the traffic jam was unbearable for him

D. the cost of a new car was too much

【2】What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?

A. Disapproving.    B. Supportive.

C. Unconcerned.     D. Optimistic.

【3】What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?

A. Take their advice.   B. Argue against it.

C. Leave it alone.    D. Think it over.

【4】What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?

A. Life without a car is a little bit hard.

B. Life cannot go without a car.

C. A car-free life does not suit everyone.

D. His life gets improved without a car.

25、   The best example of universally understood body language may be the smile. A smile can open doors and tear down walls among _______.

I have organized and reorganized an _______ with the dentist for months. I also _______ it twice and called the day before to ensure all the paperwork would be ready for the x-rays.

Then I arrived. It wasn't _______ at all. The lady there even had no idea what I was talking about. 1 _______ felt my blood boil. I was getting so _______ .I didn't yell at her but I may as well have because the _______ I was talking to her was not nice. I spoke down to her like she was a child and incapable. It was not a good moment. The whole time she smiled and was _______ to me.

Only when everything was finally _______ was I nice. I sat down in the waiting area and ________ it all. How can I make it better? How can I make up for my ________ behavior a moment ago? I couldn't. I could gift her a chocolate bar I had on me, but this needed more than that. It needed an honest ________ . And that is exactly what I gave.

I apologized for the way I had spoken to her and told her it was wrong of me. She accepted. Again with a hope. God help me be that woman who smiles and forgives so ________ .I don't get it right every time. I can be rude and when I am, I almost ________ myself for it. I am not that person, not anymore. Yet I continue to grow and continue to ________ . It's true that smile vanished my anger and opened a door to understanding.

26、书面表达

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

George claims that he read 53 books in 2014. My friend and I found this fairly unbelievable, considering he seems to have a pretty full schedule.

Anyway, it appears that I am on track to read 72 new books this year. But I've come to realize that this number can easily be skewed（扭曲）. For instance, currently I am reading Rising Tide: The Story of the Mississippi Flood of 1927. This book is over 700 pages. It's going to take me the month of May (along with Harry Potter rereads; I can't read nonfiction while going to sleep). So my May average will be way off. However, when I read chick-lits (鸡仔文学, 都市女性文学), I can get those done in a day. I guess it all depends on what I choose to read.

In reality, reading is beneficial because it encourages us to slow down our thinking, and also to fully interpret someone else's experience. Reading keeps the mind sharp and expands a person’s vocabulary. We read to educate ourselves. We read to help ourselves. We read to escape our own lives and live in that of another for a little while.
