This type of flight recreates the weightlessness that astronauts experience without going all the way to space.Flying over the Pacific Ocean off Southern California,the modified 747 jet airplane made 15 steep dives and climbs,allowing the flyers multiple periods of weightlessness.The experience left Mazyck feeling joyful.“The flight was something that I would have never in my wildest dreams thought I would've experienced,"she says,"especially the floating, the weightlessness."Traditionally,strict physical requirements have prevented disabled people from becoming astronauts.AstroAccess is working to make space accessible to all.“Space removes the barriers between people;now is the time to remove the barriers to space itself,"says Mazyck,"It is sending a message to people who have historically been excluded from STEM that not only is there room for you in space,there is a need for you.”During the flight,she says,the participants did experiments and made observations.They took note of things that people without certain disabilities might not realize are issues.For example,people who couldn't grip with their legs needed another way to hold themselves still while weightless.The group also experimented with signaling lights for the deaf and with ways of using braille(盲文)for the blind.These types of issues are easy enough to address.Now is the time to make space accessible 一 before space tourism or space settlements become commonplace."I am so proud and elated about what's happeninghere,"Mazyck adds."We are paving the way for the future."24.What do we know about AstroAccess?A.It redesigns jet airplanes.C.It provides physical treatment.B.It offers weightlessness experience.D.It trains the disabled to be astronauts.25.What is required in the flights for the participants?A.Astronaut experience,C.Weightlessness periods.B.Steep dives and climbs.D.Trials and observations.26.Which of the following words can best describe Mazyck?A.Generous and determined.C.Courageous and optimistic.B.Caring and persistent.D.Ambitious and innovative.27.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.Paving the Way for the Future C.Making Space a Place for EveryoneB.Disabled Americans Make It to Space D.US Veterans Experience Zero G FlightCThree years ago,Juan Carlos Sesma had a realization.Global warming and climate change seemed to be a mounting problem,with scientific records indicating rising temperatures and sea levels across the world.At the same time forest fires,logging,and aggressive human expansion meant the supply of trees which helped to regulate and remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere was dwindling .He decided the best way to tackle a problem this large was to combine two of the most powerful forces emerging in technology:big data and robotics.Sesma founded a new company called CO2 Revolution,whose plan was to use drones(无人机)to better understand where new trees should be planted and to automate the process of planting so that much larger areas of forest could be repopulated.The company designed a special smart seed that helped to deliver just the right amount of protection and nutrition to the young saplings.The overall goal was to considerably lower the time and cost of large scale re-forestation.CO2 Revolution isn't alone.In the UK,a startup called Biocarbon Engineering ran a trial carlier this year where it used drones to help replant Mangrove trees in Myanmar.It has also deployed( 部 署 )its technology in Australia,South Africa,and Morocco.“In a lot of places, people will either have a map taken by aeroplane,or just use Google Earth satellite imagery.They'll draw things out freehand and manually plant,either by hand or tractor,"said CEO Susan Graham in a recent interview.The challenge for all these startups is to find ways to create a profitable,or at least sustainable,business model.For Sesma and the team at CO2 Revolution,recent regulatory action has highlighted one potential pathway.“We offer a solution that allows clients to carry out massive plantings,incrcasing forest mass and thus compensating for their carbon footprint.” Amid growing calls for carbon sequestration,this kind of effort might prove not just noble,but financially sensible for large corporations.28.What drove Sesma to set up CO2 Revolution?A.Big data and robotics.B.Forest fires and human expansion.C.Global Warming and climate change.D.Powerful forces emerging in technology.29.What does the underlined word"dwindling "probably mean in paragraph 1?A.DecliningB.ChangingC.Recovering.D.Expanding30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Drones are populated in larger areas of forests.B.CO2 Revolution calls for a profitable drone model.C.Biocarbon Engineering sets up worldwide technology centers.D.Smart seeds are designed to improve the accuracy of planting.31.What does the author think of startups like CO2 Revolution?A.Conventional.B.Valueless.C.BeneficialD.ImpracticalDBabies as young as 4 months old who are born into a bilingual( 双语的 )environment show distinct and potentially advantagcous brain pattcrms for speech processing.Our early-life experiences can have lifelong effects on our behavior.The brain is most sensitive to its environment during the first year of life,which is thought to be a critical period for language development.Previous studies have looked into the brain mechanisms that underlie ( 构成 的基础 ) speech processing in babies who hear just one language.To better understand this in bilingual-exposed infants,Borja Blanco at the University of Cambridge and his collcagues compared how 31 babies who only heard Spanish and 26 babies who heard Spanish and Basque, all aged 4 months,responded to Spanish recordings of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.The team used an imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure changes in brain activities.In the Spanish-only babies,the recordings caused activation in areas which play a role in speech processing.In the bilingual-exposed babies,the recordings similarly evoked these responses,but they were larger and wider.These infants also had activation in equivalent areas of their brainsright hemispheres ( 脑半 球 ) .When the recordings were then played backwards as a control arm of the experiment,the infants exposed to just Spanish had larger responses to the backwards speech,while those to Spanish and Basque had similar brain patterns as before.This may be because the bilingual infants take longer to register their primary language,in this case Spanish,as hearing both this and Basque reduces their overall exposure to either language.If this is the casc,it could help them be sensitive to linguistic differences and enable them to learn to distinguish between languages at a younger age.The researchers note that a bilingual environment stimulates changes in the brain mechanisms underlying speech processing in young infants,adding weight to the idea that the neural basis of learning two or more languages is established very early in life.32.Why was the study conducted?A.To reveal the impact of bilingual exposure. C.To conclude the factors for speech processingB.To confirm the pattern of brain mechanism. D.To explore the potentials for languagedevelopment.33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Theory basis.C.Research findingsB.Study methods.D.Technical assistance,34.What can we learn from the research?A.Bilingual-exposed babies are more sensitive.B.Bilingual-exposed babies are more linguistically critical.C.Bilingual-exposure reduces babies 'linguistic competence.D.Bilingual-exposure reduces babies' overall language exposure. 35.Which of the following statements might the researchers agree with?A.Immigrants speak better languages.B.Mixed race families own more linguistic potential.C.Exchange students show greater learning capability.D.Overseas workers have higher language proficiency.第二节(共 5 个小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Very often,we take a picture on our smartphones and then immediately check the screen to see how it came out. 36 We've gathered our best tips to ensure you know how to look good in pictures.Know your angles.Knowing your angles is the first step to taking a great picture.Maybe you like one side of your face better than the other.Maybe you're completely symmetrical and can take a photo from the front. 37 So snap some selfies and start to get acquainted with your best angle.Doing so will have you feeling confident and looking your best in your next shot.Make sure the light is behind the camera.Great lighting makes a great photo.The key is to make sure you're in front of the light, and that the light is behind the camera.So,if you're outside,make sure the sun is behind the camera. 38Take multiples.39 .Take different photos of the same shot,so you have options when choosing which photo to keep.You'll be surprised how often your facial expression changes in the same shot.Invest in a good quality camera.While smartphone cameras keep getting better and better,nothing beats the clear and crisp image quality of a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR)camera.The bad news?A good DSLR can cost anywhere from $400 on up. 40With these photo tips in mind,next time you snap a photo,you'll look at it with a smile.A.You can never take too many photos,right?B.Whatever the case is,you have to take the time to study your face.C.You'll also show more of your eyelashes and brows from this angle.D.And if you
