China's first group of five female pilots flying J 11B fighter jets successfully completed their first solo training.
During the training,pilots had to complete simulated single engine and landing procedures accurately under high altitude conditions,which greatly tested their situational awareness,technical and tactical (战术上的) capabilities.
The first solo flight also involved challenging operations such as hovering at maximum angular speed (角速度).It tests pilots' ability to master the boundary performance of the aircraft and how to control the aircraft accurately,providing a solid foundation for them to achieve tactical intention in the later air combat.
“We are honored to be part of the first group of female pilots flying J 11B fighter jets but it was also a test for us.Though we're weak in physical strength compared with men,flying these jets is not about arm wrestling.What matters is decision making and control of the jets,” said Yan Zhongyue,one of the pilots from Xi'an Flying College of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force.
Women obviously enjoy advantages in operating weapons and equipment because of the careful and sensitive characteristics,which also accords with future warfare in which accurate control of weapon platforms would be one of focuses.
Following their first flight in the J 11B,they will receive training on formation flying,low altitude and air combat training before they will participate into front line combat units this year.Training female fighter pilots is an important measure to strengthen the quality of the Air Force's talent pool.The move is designed to shorten training cycles for third generation fighters' pilots.“We have proved that female pilots can do the same things as men,we can operate heavy combat fighters.Today we can fly the J 11B,in the future same on the J 20.Our journey is the sea of stars,” said Yan.
24.Which of the following best describes the first solo training?
A.Demanding. B.Dangerous.
C.Appealing. D.Popular.
25.In which aspect do female pilots have advantages over male pilots?
A.They are physically stronger.
B.They are more cautious and attentive.
C.They can make better decisions.
D.They can control aircrafts more steadily.
26.What can we learn about the female pilots from the last paragraph?
A.Their front line experience is rich.
B.Their training will soon come to an end.
C.They play a vital role in Air Force talents.
D.They have confidence to beat men in flying.
27.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Female Pilots' Hard Training on Flight
B.Female Pilots' Journey to the Sea of Stars
C.The Advantages Female Pilots Have on Flight
D.The Success of Female Pilots' First Flight in the J 11B

In Jakarta,apart from the narrow,unpaved road,the two meter high concrete coastal wall is the only thing that separates Susan's small restaurant from the sea.Her family depends on that wall.Growing up here,Susan used to play on the beach in front of her house.But by the 2000s the beach had disappeared,and the sea frequently flooded the neighborhood.
In 2002,the government built the coastal wall,to give the residents peace of mind and time—a respite (暂缓) from the steady sinking of the land under the city and the steady rising of the sea.But just five years later,in 2007,the wall proved no match for the worst floods in Jakarta's modern history.
Jakarta is now sinking at a truly alarming rate—a rate that varies around the city but is up to 11 inches a year in the northern areas.About 40 percent of Jakarta is below sea level.By comparison,climate change is raising sea level by only less than an inch a year.But sinking land and rising sea both point toward the same outcome:regular flooding in Jakarta.“Jakarta is the center of administration,economy,culture,and entertainment.Over the years Jakarta has grown into a big city with no environmental support system,” says Andy,a lecturer at the University of Indonesia.Ultimately that's why it is sinking today.
The situation is one reason the government announced that the nation's capital would be moved away to a new city to be built on Borneo,which is now forest.But local communities aren't so happy with the plan.They fear the project would destroy their land,forest,and livelihoods.In Jakarta,on the other hand,those who welcome the decision argue that it will ease Jakarta's burdens of crowding and pollution.
But as the government leaves the sinking capital,what is to become of the 10 million people like Susan who still live there?
28.What is the function of the coastal wall?
A.To prevent the land from sinking.
B.To keep the residents from floods.
C.To stop the steady rising of the sea.
D.To restore the beach for the residents.
29.What can we learn about the floods from Paragraph 3?
A.The floods were caused by nature and humans.
B.Climate change is the primary cause of the floods.
C.The rise of the sea level is the outcome of regular flooding.
D.The economic development has a great impact on the floods.
30.What can be learned from the passage about Jakarta?
A.It is no longer the nation's capital now.
B.It is an underdeveloped city with a large population.
C.Its residents suffer a lot from the plan of the government.
D.Its measures to protect the environment are far from satisfactory.
31.What is the author's attitude to the plan of the government?
A.Intolerant. B.Supportive.
C.Worried. D.Indifferent.
D
“Mona Lisa's” famous smile is routinely described as ambiguous.But is it really that hard to read? Apparently not.In an unusual trial,close to 100 percent of people described her expression as “happy”.
The “Mona Lisa” is often held up as a symbol of emotional mystery.Kornmeier,the German scientist,and a team used it in a study of factors that influence how humans judge visual clues such as facial expressions.Using a copy of the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci,the team moved the model's mouth corners slightly up and down to create eight altered images.They created four “happier” and four “sadder”“Mona Lisas”.
A block of nine images were shown to 12 trial participants 30 times.In every showing the pictures were randomly rearranged.Then participants had to describe each of the nine images as happy or sad.
“Given the descriptions from art and art history,we thought that the original would be the most ambiguous,” Kornmeier said.Instead,“we found that Da Vinci's original was perceived as happy in 97 percent of cases.”
The second experiment involved the original “Mona Lisa” with eight “sadder” versions.These were given even more subtle (微妙的) differences in the lip tilt (倾斜).In this test,the original was still described as happy.However,participants' reading of the other images changed.“They were perceived a little sadder than in the first experiment,” said Kornmeier.
The findings confirm that “we don't have an absolute fixed scale of happiness and sadness in our brain”—and that a lot depends on context,the researcher explained.Understanding this process may be useful in the study of psychiatric (精神病学的) disorders.As for the masterpiece itself,the team believe their work has finally settled a centuries old question.
32.What does the underlined word “ambiguous” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Strange. B.Happy.
C.Sad. D.Unclear.
33.What is the purpose of the study led by Kornmeier?
A.To create copies of altered images.
B.To answer a centuries old question.
C.To analyze what affect humans' visual judgement.
D.To describe the ambiguous smile of the masterpiece.
34.What can we learn from the first experiment?
A.The experiment was randomly arranged.
B.The result proved the original assumption.
C.The copies differed in “Mona Lisa's” mouth corner.
D.Altogether 30 different images were shown to the participants.
35.What will Kornmeier agree according to the findings?
A.Humans' visual judgement will change with context.
B.Humans are better at recognizing happiness than sadness.
C.“Mona Lisa's” smile is related with psychiatric disorders.
D.The study result can be used to treat patients with mental disorders.

Learning how to care for a sad person will help you be there for your loved ones and friends when they are down.However,knowing how to care for a sad person is not something an individual is born with. 36 Here are a few tips that will eventually help you lift the spirit of a sad person.
Give a hug.Hugging someone shows your affection and care. 37 This can make them feel relaxed and open to you.This can also help them recognize that you are there to help them go through this moment.With no kind and loving words,your actions have already said a lot.
38 Now,go on and say some kind words.Words like “I'm here”,“we are in this together”,“you'll get over this”,“lean on me” and so on,can help a sad person feel better and know that you're there to take him/her through the sad moment.
Use the right tone of voice. 39 They go along with tone to convey a meaning to the listener.To convey your words with faith that would create a positive effect on the sad person,you would need to say it with the right tone of voice.
Listen patiently.People ask lots of questions but they end up paying little attention to getting the feedback (反馈) that they wanted.Don't be that person.After asking the questions,listen patiently to know what the sad person would appreciate at that time. 40
A.Say kind loving words.
B.Make use of polite expressions.
C.Then choose to appreciate others too.
D.Remember that words do not stand alone.
E.It will help you know how to offer the best fitting help.
F.This knowledge is gained through research and practice.
G.When you do this to someone,they can feel your warmth.

Ken Scott kicked off the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain town of Mullan,Idaho.It was 6 a.m.on January 7,2020,and he was on a mission:He'd just heard on the radio that the nearby Silver Mountain Resort had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow.As a ski addict who'd worked in the industry for the past 30 years as a ski patroller (滑雪巡逻员)and equipment salesperson,he didn't want to miss this perfect skiing chance.These conditions are what skiers live for—even experienced and skilled as Scott,who,at 55,still skied 100 days a year.
When Scott reached Silver Mountain's locker room,he ran into his friend Warren,58,a former ski instructor who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades.
“Can you believe it?” he said as they changed into their boots.“Sixteen inches! Are you ready?”
For the next hour,the pair skied on various runs under a lightly gloomy sky,making fresh tracks.They were both in a playful mood.Finally,they reached 16 to 1,an expert level trail,which was now open.It had been closed all season over concerns that skiers might cause an avalanche (雪崩).But that morning,patrollers had cleared loose snow on the peak,reducing the chance of a snowslide.
“What do you think?” asked Warren.
“Let's go for it!” Scott replied.
When they reached the top of 16 to 1,Warren excitedly looked back at Scott.The huge,toothy grin on his bearded face was what he needed.He pointed his skis downhill and took off.So thrilled were they that they isolated everything around them.Flying on the trail,despite the biting wind,their hearts burnt with passion for this great skiing.Whoomph! A sudden roar from behind nearly deafened them.

(Text 10)
M:Larry Walters is among the relatively few who have actually turned their dreams into reality.
Larry was a driver,but his lifelong dream was to fly.When he graduated from high school,he joined the Air Force in the hope of becoming a pilot.Unfortunately,poor vision disqualified him.So he had to satisfy himself with watching others fly the jets over his backyard.
Then one day,Larry bought a tank of helium and 45 weather balloons.Back in his yard,Larry tied the balloons to his lawn chair.He anchored the chair to his jeep and inflated the balloons with helium.Then he packed some sandwiches and drinks.
When his preparations were complete,Larry sat in his chair and cut the anchoring string.His plan was to lazily float up to a height of about 30 feet above his backyard,where he would enjoy a few hours of flight before coming back down.
When Larry cut the string,he didn't float lazily up—he shot up! He didn't level off at 100 feet,nor did he level off at 1,000 feet.He leveled off at 16,000 feet! Eventually,the hanging strings caught in a power line,blacking out a Long Beach neighborhood for 20 minutes.As soon as he hit the ground,he was arrested.
As he was being led away in handcuffs,a television reporter Robert Davies called out to ask,“Why did you do it?” Larry replied,“One can't just sit around and do nothing!”
Seriously,though ...What are you doing today to make your dreams come true?

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者几年前患有眩晕症,和妻子一起出差去机场的路上,遇到了一位善良的优步司机的故事。
41.D 根据空格前“I had to travel to North Carolina for a business trip”可知,这次出差作者不得不去,因此他不能错过。
42.D 根据上文,作者经常头晕,因此可推测出,作者的妻子担心他,想陪伴他一起去出差。第二段开头“On our hour long Uber ride to the airport”中的“our”也表明这次出差不止作者一个人。
43.B 根据空格前的“vertigo”以及后文“As I sat in the front of the car,I couldn't 44 myself.”可知,由于眩晕症发作了,作者禁不住头晕起来。
44.A 根据上文可知作者眩晕症发作了,因此作者当时的状况是控制不住自己,身不由己。“can't help myself”表达出作者身不由己,禁不住头晕的意思。
45.A 根据空格后“that I threw up all over the seat”可知,作者吐在了座位上,所以可推断眩晕症发作得很匆忙,没来得及做准备。
46.C 根据上文作者匆忙之中吐在了优步司机的车上,以及空格后“Quietly,I asked the Uber driver”作者询问司机,是不是可以停一下,可推测出,作者那时因给别人造成麻烦,是非常尴尬的。
47.C 根据后文“so that I could deal with the 48 I created”说明作者想清理自己的呕吐物,可知作者想要司机靠边停车,才能够有空慢慢清理。
48.D 根据上文“Vertigo came on in such a 45 that I threw up all over the seat.”可知,作者吐在了车上,所以打算处理自己弄的一团糟乱。
49.A 根据空格后“head back home”可知,作者的妻子询问作者是否能回家,取消这个旅程,而下一句“I told her that I felt OK and asked to go to the airport.”作者则回答说,要继续去机场,也能说明妻子询问自己是否取消旅程。
50.C 根据空格后“the luggage into a cart”可知,优步司机帮助作者和他的妻子把行李装上行李手推车,因此C项最符合文意。
51.B 根据下文“With a 52 smile he said,‘No worries,my friend.Take care.’”优步司机说让作者照顾好自己的告别语可知,这里是作者和妻子到达机场了,司机要离开了。
52.B 根据上文“I thanked him for his understanding and kindness”可知,优步司机善解人意、为人和蔼可亲,因此B项“gentle”最符合文意。
53.A 根据空格后“or anger toward me”表示空格处需要填写和“anger”类似的贬义词,结合上文可知,作者匆忙之中吐在了司机的车上,但司机为人和蔼,他没有一丝的失望和愤怒。
54.C 根据上文第三段中“I told him I was sorry for what happened and I thanked him for his understanding and kindness”可知,优步司机为人和蔼,因此该空属于同词复现,需要选C项,与上文中的“kindness”相一致。
55.D 根据空格前“give him a generous”中慷慨的这一形容词,以及后文“May his tribe grow.”作者希望有更多像这位优步司机的人,由此可知,作者给了司机小费。

“Bring help! Scott was missing,” Warren said anxiously on the phone.Word spread quickly,and soon Silver Mountain's patrols and skiers arrived at the avalanche site with shovels and ten foot poles with which they could probe for Scott.Rescuers formed a horizontal line along the slope,each standing just two feet apart,and inserted their probes down into the deep,chunky snow,hoping to hit and locate the buried skier.Twenty minutes into the search,a rescuer shouted,“A strike!” Tears streaming down his face,Warren knew they opened the life window for Scott.
