21、People have long dreamt of a car that flies through the sky. Japan's Sky Drive has carried out a successful, but modest test flight of such a vehicle carrying a person.

It is just one of the many "flying car" projects around the world. In a video shown to reporters, a vehicle that looked like a motorcycle lined up to two meters off the ground. It flew in circles in a protected area for four minutes. Tomohiro Fukuzawa heading the Sky Drive effort said he hopes the flying car can be made into a real-life product by 2023. However, he noted the importance of safety. "Of the world's more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful has succeeded with a person on board. I hope many people want to ride it and feel safe."

The machine so far can fly for Just 5 to 10 minutes, but if the flight time can be extended to 30 minutes, the car will have more possibilities. Unlike airplanes and helicopters, " electric vertical (垂直的) takeoff and landing" vehicles, or eVTOL, generally offer quick point-to-point personal travel. They could do away with having to deal with airports, traffic jams. Such vehicles could even fly without a pilot.

Sky Drive's flying car began as a volunteer project in 2012. The project received financial support from top Japanese companies including carmaker Toyota, electronics company Panasonic. A demonstration flight three years ago did not go well. But the flying car has improved, and the project recently received additional support of $37 million, including money from the Development Bank of Japan. The Japanese government has expressed support for the futuristic project, with a "road map" for business services by 2023. The goal is to expand the flying car's commercial use by the 2030s. It also has noted possible uses for connecting faraway areas and providing transportation in disasters.

【1】What can we learn about the flying car according to the text?

A．It's a kind of motorcycle.

B．It has been put into use.

C．Its safety factor is high.

D．Its flight time is limited.

【2】Compared with airplanes, the flying car of Japan's Sky Drive ________.

A．needs to land at the airport

B．will get stuck in traffic jams easily

C．can fly as high as you like

D．may travel automatically

【3】Why is the Japanese government in favor of the project?

A．To increase people s yearly income.

B．To ease the traffic pressure nationwide.

C．To make flying cars more used in business.

D．To improve the transportation in remote regions.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．History of eVTOL Systems

B．Japan's Sky Drive Flying Car

C．A Volunteer Project

D．Sky Drive's Bright Future

22、“The first domestic geese may have lived about 7,000 years ago in what is now China. That may make them the earliest bird to be domesticated, ” says Masaki Eda at the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo, Japan. Eda is part of a team that has unearthed an archaeological (考古的)site in Eastern China called Tianluoshan, which was a Stone Age village between about 7, 000 and 5, 500 years ago. “Its resident lived basically by killing wild animals and looking for plants that can be eaten, ”says Eda, “but they also grew rice. ”

The team has now identified 232 goose bones at Tianluoshan, four of which belonged to immature geese that were less than 16 weeks old, with the youngest probably less than 8 weeks old. This implies they must have hatched at Tianluoshan, because they were too young to have flown in from elsewhere. Some of the adult geese also seem to have been locally bred(饲养), based on the chemical make-up of their bones, which reflects the water they drank. These locally bred birds were all almost the same size, indicating captive breeding( 圈养) . Finally, the team carbon-dated the bones and found that the locally bred geese lived about 7, 000 years ago.

“The main thing that stood out for me is the fact they actually did radiocarbon dating on the bird bones, ” says Julia Best at Cardiff University in the UK. This makes the dating much more reliable than if the team had simply dated the surrounding materials. ”If geese were domesticated 7, 000 years ago, that would make them the first bird to be domesticated, ”says Eda. The other candidate is the chicken, but there has been an argument over when and where this first appeared,        A study published in 2014 reported that chickens were domesticated in Northern China as early as 10, 000 years ago, based on DNA from bones. However, the bones weren’t directly dated and “a lot of the things they claimed were chickens were pheasants(野鸡)”, says Best.

“Domestic chickens only appeared around 5,500 years ago. With the firm evidence we currently have, I think it is true, ”she says, but adds that the domestication of chickens is understudied, so the story could well change as more evidence emerges.

【1】What can we say about Tianluoshan?

A．It appeared at least 10, 000 years ago.

B．It was a Stone Age village in Northern China.

C．Its residents grew rice and kept geese as pets.

D．Its residents were essentially hunter-gatherers.

【2】What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A．The main characteristics of geese

B．The proof of goose domestication

C．The challenges for immature geese

D．The chemical make-up of goose bones

【3】What does Julia Best currently tend to believe?

A．Geese were domesticated before chickens.

B．Radiocarbon dating on goose bones was unreliable.

C．Domestic chickens were first spotted in Eastern China.

D．The analysis of DNA from chicken bones was dependable.

【4】What is the main purpose of this text?

A．To advertise.

B．To persuade.

C．To report.

D．To instruct.

24、Spider monkeys know that the best way to find food is in a group. But when they divide to hunt for fruit, there’s no random(随意性) pairing off. Researchers have found that they use collective computation(群体计算) when they break up into teams.

Typically, the older females lead the rest of the younger monkeys, having the final say in group activities. But that’s not the case for wild spider monkeys living in a protected area near Punta Laguna, Mexico.

When they’re ready to search for food, the monkeys form teams without a single leader picking who goes into which group. Instead, each monkey decides which group to join and when to move to another group. The result, say researchers, is that the monkeys are collectively computing good team sizes given the availability(可获性) of food in the forest.

“The spider monkeys seem to be collecting information about resources by forming these small teams, so that as a group they know their environment better than anyone does on its own,” lead study author, Gabriel Ramos-Fernandez of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said.

To study the animals’ behavior, researchers spent two years recording 47 different spider monkeys for five hours each day. For hunting for food, they usually formed groups of 2 to 17 monkeys. Researchers worked together with the scientists at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico to find out how a spider monkey decided to stay with or leave a group. Their study found that the monkeys’ decisions were influenced by the decisions of the other monkeys on the team. They would feel out their teammates about the best size and then make their own decisions accordingly.

The results produced teams of many different sizes, which were helpful in finding fruit in the forest. The researchers said that collectively computed sizes were sometimes not a perfect match based on the food that was available. They suggest a similar study should be used to examine how other groups or systems work, such as flocks of birds or schools of fish.

【1】How do spider monkeys living near Punta Laguna differ from the typical ones?

A．They can live better even in bad weather conditions.

B．The sizes of their teams are decided by each of them.

C．The older monkeys play a leading role in a team.

D．They usually take turns to look for food.

【2】How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph2?

A．Spreading the word.

B．Winning all the games.

C．Making the final decisions.

D．Getting the most delicious food.

【3】What will probably cause a spider monkey to leave its team?

A．Its teammates’ choices.

B．The sudden danger that appears.

C．The unfair treatment from teammates.

D．Its disappointment with the amount of food.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Spider monkeys can’t offer help to each other in a group.

B．Spider monkeys’ collective computation is not always useful.

C．The researchers will do a further study about spider monkeys.

D．Birds also use collective computation when they form groups.
