Leopard.BWhile staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have

8、rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid20

9、th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30，000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin

10、 was changed to a cylindrical(圆柱体) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de_Havilland_Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other airc

11、raft.However, where theres a corner, theres a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stresssuch as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it bre

12、aking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that c

13、an resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook, doesnt it?24. Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?A. To save money for less drag. B. To help the plane to take off.C. To increase safety of the

16、reek,New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. Its hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it end

17、s up killing the tree.The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA. The troublemaking bug is just one of many invasive(入侵的) pests that have slipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside s

18、hipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep them from sliding around. Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets dont want more rules. Congress has added an amendment(

19、修正案) in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bugkilling pesticide. “I believe in the system，”said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Con

20、tainer Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the US. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says: “Inspectors cant possibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden palle

21、ts.” He believes pallets should be made of plastic or ecocomposite wood. Ecocomposite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the US. $5 billion a year. Trees don

22、t just die in forests. They also die in cities and our yards. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.28. All the statements are TRUE except that _A. pesticide has been applied to bugkilling B. invasive pests are native to Wappinger CreekC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippi

Bugs wont bother the tree if just in few numbers. D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection.30. Why does Gary

24、Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?A. Because insects mostly die in them. B. Because plastic pallets are ecofriendly.C. Because they are not worth extra money. D. Because they are the major pest carriers.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Invasive pests are harming plants in the US

25、A.B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.C. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods.DHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice th

26、at everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the

27、storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say. A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need

28、warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空

29、) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dus

30、t, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air gets spit out(被挤出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there,

31、 the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and do

32、wn storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!32. Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?A. A thunderstorm with a single shape. B. A thunderstorm without strong winds.C. A storm with air drawn from every direc

33、tion. D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Cold and dry air. B. Warm and dry air. C. Cold and damp air. D. Warm and damp air.34. Which does the writer most likely agree to?A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air. B. No

34、t all thunderstorms start with the calm.C. The drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be. D. Storm happens without air moving up and down.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm. B. A brief description of a peaceful storm.C. A personal experience of a heavy s

35、torm. D. An explanation of the calm before a storm.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文容，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。We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention. Advertisers, politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them. _36_. Propaganda is not always a bad thing, but i

36、t often hides the truth about a topic. Its very similar to advertising, whose goal is to get people to buy something, while propaganda is to change what people believe.Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda, a common technique is namecalling. A politician might call someone a traitor or liar, whi

37、ch makes the other person look bad. Another is the trend technique. People want to be on the side in the favor. _37_. Some propaganda is based on fear. It scares people into choosing a certain side or taking action, which might not be bad. Antismoking campaigns are one example. They may scare people

38、 into thinking that if they smoke, they will get cancer._38_Propaganda is used by many groups, such as businesses, politicians and the government. It is spread through posters, television and radio. The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world.Types of PropagandaPolitical propagand
