26、Uber has picked Melbourne as the first city outside of the United States to test its flying taxis.

Test flights in the Australian city will begin next year with a goal of commercial ride-hailing (打车) services by 2023, it announced on Tuesday.

“We will see other Australian cities following soon after,” Susan Anderson, Uber's regional manager for Australia, said at the company's annual flying car conference in Washington DC.

Melbourne will be the third city to host trials of Uber's flying taxis, after Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, the electric taxis will be flown by a pilot.

Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies racing to make flying vehicles a reality. Other big names in the business include Rolls Royce and Boeing.

Even as it works on developing autonomous, electric flying vehicles–which are still several years away-Uber is taking its service to the skies in other ways.

The company will start a helicopter service on July 9, taking passengers from Manhattan to JFK Airport in eight minutes. It says customers who buy the roughly $200 ticket will save an hour of travel time during rush hour.

But the rollout (首次展示) of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in cities, following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.

A helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Manhattan building on June 10, killing the pilot. This deadly accident came weeks after a helicopter crash in the Hudson River. There were no deaths in that incident.

“For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do,” said Eric Allison, Uber's head of Elevate.

Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-hailing service.

“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation (飞行) ride-share network that is safe, quiet and green,” Anderson said.

【1】What can we learn about the flying taxis from the text?

A．Most flying taxis are self-driving.

B．The flying taxi was first tried out in Melbourne.

C．Flying taxis could be used in Australia in several years.

D．The flying taxis turned out to be a failure in America.

A．To further introduce NASA's cooperation with Uber.

B．To show the challenges facing the flying taxi service.

C．To explain why Uber's technology stands out.

D．To describe the development of Uber's flying services.

【3】What is the author's major concern about flying taxis?

A．Safety.

B．Management.

C．Side effects.

D．Affordability.

27、Do you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone” regulating the distances they stand from someone when they talk? 【1】

Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean (地中海), and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even “more space between two speakers in conversation. 【2】 This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.

This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!

North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking: 【3】 They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy. They nudge (轻碰) a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story. They pat an arm in reassurances or stroke a childhood in affection.【4】 To many people, especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries, such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently (无心地) done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U.S. Many Americans are simply left handed and use that hand more.)

A．However, they communicate a great deal with their hands, not only with gesture but also with touch.

B．The “comfort zone” presents the different cultures of countries over the world.

C．This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.

D．The small change of space shows the difference of speaking styles.

E．This greater space intelligently brings an air of dignity and respect.

F．They readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route.

28、Let the kids sleep, said Scott Maxwell in the Orlando Sentinel. In the US, nearly 9 out of 10 high schools begin classes before 8:30 a.m., and 10 percent before 7:30, and buses pick up kids more than an hour before dawn, forcing tired teens to get out of bed without enough sleep.

This early-bird schedule flies in the face of findings that 87 percent of America’s high school students are short of sleep, and that high schools and middle schools should start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. This is “hardly a trivial matter”, because research shows that teens who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight and low in spirits and do poorly in school.

There is no arguing the benefits of enough sleep, said the Los Angeles Times. However, what is “less clear” is that forcing high schools and middle schools to start later is the path to achieving the benefits. One study found that later start times might mean just an additional “15 minutes per night” of sleep. Another study found that teens got “significantly more sleep the first year of a schedule change” but then started going to bed later by the second. And since the buses that transport older kids also carry primary school students in most areas, adjusting high school start times would require adjusting the start time of younger kids.

Since the AAP’s 2014 report, about every believable medical science organization has come out in support of later start times. The Brookings Institution found that later school start times were followed by “a significant increase” in test scores. Some New Jersey schools moved all start times to 8:30 and found “reduced lateness, and teachers reported students were more ready to learn.” The proof is in, and it leads to only one decision: “Start school later.”

【1】What does the underlined expression “a trivial matter” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A．Something impossible

B．Something unimportant

C．Something necessary

D．Something valuable

【2】What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A．The benefits of enough sleep is no so clear.

B．Primary schools start earlier than high schools.

C．Teens need less sleep when they are one year older.

D．15 minutes’ more sleep per night is not enough for teens.

【3】What improvement can be seen if students get enough sleep?

A．Reduce more weight

B．Go to school much earlier

C．Get better marks in the tests

D．Be not in low spirits anymore

【4】What suggestion may the author give to the government?

A．Start school later

B．Get enough sleep

C．Pick up kids earlier

D．Move school start times

29、   You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging medicine. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is out of date. In 2035, every article of food in the store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed” says scientist Andrew Zoll, “it has to be so much better than it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?

NEW YORK (Reuters) — U.S. factories shrugged off weakness in the global economy in November as manufacturing activity rose to its highest level in five months, a fresh sign the 【1】 economy was accelerating.

Recent data on consumer spending and private-sector job creation has also boosted optimism on the pace of growth.

“The economy seems finally to be 【2】real momentum,” said Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York.

Also pointing to growth, automakers reported U.S. sales rose 13.9 percent in November from a year earlier, Autodata Corp said.

The Institute for Supply Management said on Thursday its index of national factory activity rose to 52.7 from 50.8 the month before, beating analysts’ expectations and showing the sector continues to 【3】.

The added momentum, also apparent in the report’s details, reduces the chances the U.S. economy will slip into a new recession, even with an expected contraction in the euro zone.

Compared to a dismal first half of the year, the pace of U.S. growth more than 【4】in the third quarter to a 2 percent 【5】 rate. While that remains subpar, economists believe activity will 【6】 even stronger in the final three months of the year.

The ISM 【7】 of new orders rose to its highest level since April, and the export index also improved, although modestly.

“That should keep some momentum going,” said Sean Incremona, an economist at 4Cast in New York. “It is good to see things are not getting worse now.”

Much of the 【8】 of the world, however, is getting worse, especially in Europe where policy-makers are fighting a raging sovereign debt crisis.
