share a common viewof the future.For me,thats true for my relationship with my dad.Some fathers andsons bond over sports,fishing or hunting,but my dad and I bond overStar Trek.Wetried a trip to Disney World,but one of my earliest memories wasnt Mickey,but aKlingon battle cruiser(巡洋舰)on the screen.Over the years,nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dadand me.When its warm at night,were not driving along some dark streets in Indiana,but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining.Both of us are thinking of them,without needing to say a word.All these imaginations of other universes have togethercreated a private universe for my dad and me.Gene Roddenberry,creator ofStar Trek,once said,“Science fiction is a way ofthinking,a way of logic that bypasses(绕过)a lot of nonsense.It allows people tolook directly at important subjects.”A lifetime of science fiction has influencedmore than just my relationship with my dad,but has also helped me shape my own hopesfor the future.Im now a science writer.5Yes,science fiction has made me into a“nerd”(书呆子)and it also has been asource of joy for my family,making me an optimist while enabling me to think criticallyabout the danger of technology.Thank those authors who have shared their visions:theworld and my family are better for it.Thank my dad,who is both the best storytellerand the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennysonswords,“For I dipped into the future,far as human eye could see,saw the vision ofthe world,and all the wonder that would be.”24.What contributes to the bond between the author and his father?A.Their similar dream.B.Their love for each other.C.Their common interest.D.Their hobby of fishing.25.What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?A.His deep impression of his dad.B.His feeling of staying with his dad.C.His earliest memory of his dad.D.His good relationship with his dad.26.How does science fiction help the author at present?A.It leads him to pursue a desirable career.B.It brings him the courage to live better.C.It inspires him to face the danger of technology.D.It makes him a source of his familys joy.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.The Wonders Science BringsB.The Power of Science FictionC.The Stories About Science FictionD.The Time Together with My FatherC CFrom the top of Mount Qomolangma to the bottom of the Mariana Trench,plasticcontinues to pollute the environment,and it creates a significant threat to all lifeforms on Earth.Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution,we have not been able6to ban the use of plastic products.Now,thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl,Arora,we finally have a better choice.This plastic-like material is made from prawn(大虾)shells,and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of the commercialplastic products we use today.The Australian teen first became aware of the impact of plastic waste on theenvironment when shopping with her mother.She wondered why her mother had to pay forthe plastic bags.When asked,the cashier informed her how plastic hurts the planetand that the additional charge was there to encourage people not to use it.This inspiredArora to create a kind of plastic that would break down faster than the conventionalone.Butthejourneyofinventing“eco-friendlyplastic”wasnoteasy.Sheexperimented with a number of organic materials such as cornflour and banana peels,both of which had to be ruled out because of their solubility(溶解性).One night,whilehaving dinner,she noticed that the shells of prawns look plasticky.She immediatelywent to the lab to research.Later,she would describe that dinner as her“Eureka”moment.She extracted the material called“chitin”from the shells and then mixed it withan insoluble protein called“fibroin”,which is found in silk cocoons.Using thecombination of these two organic materials,Arora created a plastic-like material thatbreaks down completely within just 33 days.Moreover,this plastic releases nitrogenwhen breaking down,which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.Aroras invention has caused a stir,and she has won a number of awards.As aninspiring young woman,Arora wants to make a difference in the world,and she wantsto encourage other young people to follow their passion and make a positive differencehowever they can.28.What inspired Arora to create a kind of special plastic?A.A cashiers words about paid plastic bags.B.Her determination to protect the prawns.C.A class about plastics impact on the planet.D.Her plan to save money on plastic products.29.What could be a“Eureka”moment?7A.A moment of needing reflection.B.A moment of finding the truth.C.A moment of having sudden inspiration.D.A moment of enjoying the celebration.30.What can be known about the new plastic in paragraph 4?A.It is made from non-organic materials.B.It can break down totally in a month.C.It can be used to help plants to grow.D.It is extracted from an insoluble protein.31.Which of the following can best describe Arora?A.Brave and clever.B.Creative and inspiring.C.Active and considerate.D.Humorous and friendly.D DEven as self-driving cars become more and more popular,theres one problem thatSilicon Valley hasnt solved:the traffic jam.But Airbus Group,a U.S.aeronauticsand space company,thinks that it has a solution.The companys Silicon Valley branchrecently announced its been working on a secret project titled“Vahana”,anautonomous flying vehicle that can be used for both passenger and cargo(货物)transport.Airbus flying taxi resembles a drone in design,and would use multiple propellers(螺旋桨)to travel medium-length distances.Developers in France and Germany areworking on an electrically operated platform that would allow the flying taxi to carrymultiple passengers once between city destinations.Currently,no countries allowcompletely autonomous aerial vehicles,so the vehicle would initially be manned by apilot.Flight tests of the first Vahana prototype(原型)are planned,in the hope ofbringing the product to consumers quickly.Thats about a decade sooner than anotherfuture-travel system Hyperloop One.“Im no big fan ofStar Wars,but its not crazy to imagine that one day ourbig cities will have flying cars making their way along roads in the sky,”says Airbus8Group CEO Tom Enders.“In a not too distant future,well use our smartphones to booka fully automated flying taxi that will land outside our front door without anypilot.”But before you get too excited about beating rush-hour traffic,its worth notingthat the company has a lot of technological kinks to work out before the product isready to test.The same sensor technology that allows self-driving cars to avoidaccidents doesnt exist for aerial vehicles.Airbus Group isnt the only companytrying to get in the autonomous air transportation game.There are a number of cargodrone companies on the market and the Ehang 184,a Chinese passenger drone,began flighttesting in June.32.Why does the present flying taxi have to be manned?A.It makes urban planning hard.B.It makes future traffic busy.C.Its not legally permitted.D.It may cause accidents.33.What is Tom Enderss attitude towards the project?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.34.What does the underlined word“kinks”in paragraph 5 mean?A.Barriers.B.Strategies.C.Solutions.D.Means.35.Whats the best title of the text?A.A Solution to Worldwide Traffic JamsB.Airbus Joins the Air Transportation GameC.Airbus Will Make Flying Taxis a RealityD.A Bright Future of Flying Vehicles第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 个小题：每个小题个小题：每个小题 2.52.5 分，满分分，满分
