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、Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）

Whatever life threw at us each year, our family had one tradition at Christmas: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us.

Last year, everyone made it home for a Christmas get-together. However, it couldn't feel perfect because Pepper's health was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expected—she was fourteen—and yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her mind.

Probably it was Pepper's last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she would enjoy it. On Christmas Eve, we each prepared presents for her.

Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift. She turned the present, just as she was a young dog once more. She pulled the paper off the dog treat before she chewed it slowly. Our family was so happy.

Pepper saw the other three presents, and then turned to Mom as if asking, "May I open another?"

"Go ahead, girl!" Mom encouraged.

For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents. While she did, she reminded us of the joy of being together. Our family felt as a whole—not because we were in the same room or city, but because our love brought us together.

Pepper passed away after Christmas. Her peaceful passing made us tearful. Her passing was also a celebration of life, because she gave my family so much love and laughter.

I still treasure (珍惜) Pepper’s final Christmas gift. She taught me that no matter where we each spend the holidays, the smallest act of sincere giving can unite our family through our love. For me, that knowledge is the longest-lasting gift of all.

【1】The dog Pepper usually _________ at Christmas.

A. chewed the dog treat slowly B. chose the presents for herself

C. played with the author's family happily D. opened the presents for the author's family

【2】The author thought the Christmas wasn't perfect last year because_________.

A. he didn't get a Christmas gift B. Pepper was in poor health

C. Pepper died on Christmas Eve D. he didn't feel the joy of being together

【3】The dog Pepper got _________ Christmas gifts last year.

A. two B. three C. four D. five

【4】The underlined phrase "the longest-lasting gift" in the last paragraph refers to "_________".

A. the friendship with the dog B. the holiday the author spent with family

C. the Christmas present for the dog D. the life lesson the author learned from Pepper

【5】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Pepper passed away peacefully after Christmas.

B. The smallest act of sincere giving can unite the author's family.

C. Pepper brought the author's family a lot of trouble and tears.

D. The author's family felt as a whole because of the love among them.

【6】The best title for the passage can be "_________".

A. The Power of Love B. Celebrating Christmas

C. The Importance of Helping Others D. Enjoying the Happiness of Making Friends

26、

The British summer is beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?

Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.

Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.

The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.

Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.

Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”

The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.

【1】What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?

A．The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.

B．The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.

C．The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.

D．Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.

【2】How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?

A．By listing examples (举例子).

B．By providing data (列数据).

C．By giving explanations (作解释).

D．By making comments (作评价).

【3】What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Turning better.

B．Getting worse.

C．Keeping the same.

D．Becoming different.

【4】Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.

A．warn people to care more about the change of weather

B．keep the charity running more smoothly than ever before

C．help the British government protect nature and the environment

D．help the British better understand how important the butterflies are

28、   Once upon a time, some children 【1】(fish) at seaside when they caught a turtle. They beat it with stones. Just at that time, a young man came up and 【2】(drive)them away. The turtle was very thankful and said, "Thanks for your kindness. I would like 【3】(invite) you to a fantastic place."

The young man rode on the turtle's back and was taken to a secret place in the sea. When they reached the place, he was amazed at the sightseeing, "what a nice palace!" To thank him, the king of the turtles gave him a very big dinner 【4】(eat). He hadn't eaten so much delicious food before. He was pleased with everything.

After the dinner, the king said, "I'm going to give you two boxes, but you mustn't open both. Do remember it!" The young man promised that he 【5】(open) only one. Just then, a large wave sent him out of the sea.

After 【6】(go)back home , he opened the bigger box. To his surprise, the box was full of gold shining brightly. "My God! I am rich now!" Then he thought, "There 【7】(be) something more expensive in the other box." He broke his promise and opened it. Suddenly he became an old man who was over 80 years old.
