since ancient times. last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and challenged gravity in hangzhou, zhejiang province.“yes, you can buy a ticket and fly to another city. but running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to take off is totally different,” dong fang, said in an excited voice. he is one of 41 students from hangzhou no. 14 middle school to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground. inspired by the international bognor birdman competition in the uk, ni wangyue, a teacher in high school is holding a similar event. the bognor birdman competition started in 1971 in the england coastal city bognor. people ran off the end of a pier (码头) with their own aircraft in an attempt to “fly” the farthest distance. “from the very beginning , i didnt expect my students to create a real plane or break any records. i told them the competition is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch,” said ni. he was surprised to see his students create 10 different aircrafts with all kinds of material available in the past month. many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their planes than in ordinary classes.jing yuchen and his team named their plane “weiming e”, which means an unknown goose. the 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth will honour its name by successfully making it fly.“our work is much more imaginative than others. with several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings, it surely is the most eye-catching work, if not the best,” said yu liang, another student.“although most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying, the boys braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in the future,” ni said.20.the purpose of the competition is to _. a. prepare to create more real planes. b. let students break some records. c. run off the end of a pier. d. encourage braveness and creativity.21. according to the passage, which of the following statements is not true? a. there were 41 students taking part in the competition. b. a similar kind of competition started in 1971. c. the teacher didnt expect his students could create 10 different aircrafts. d. most of those home-made aircrafts could take the boys flying.22. by saying “you can buy a ticket and fly to another city”, the writer actually means _. a. if you want to take part in the competition you have to buy a ticket. b. people who take part in the competition have to fly to another city. c. people can pay to get a chance to go to another place by air. d. the students have to fly to another city in their home-made aircrafts.23. why did the teacher organize this activity? a. he wanted to develop students imagination. b. he wanted his students to have the feeling of flying. c. he wanted his students to break records. d. he wanted to increase his students grades.ctwo new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runnersone study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a weekthe runners were observed on a treadmill machine（跑步机）sometimes they wore running shoesother times they ran barefootresearchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefootthey observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heelsthe other study compared runners in the united states and kenyathe researchers divided the runners into three groupsone group had always run shoelessanother group had always run with shoesand the third group had changed to shoeless runningrunners who wear shoes usually come down heel firstthat puts great force on the back of the footbut the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their footthat way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heelsdaniel lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heelsthe heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe，so it would seem more likely to come down firstalso，the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landingsbut the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefootthey say it takes some trainingand there can be risks，like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured24. whats the main idea of the passage?a. running in shoes is partly good to runners. b. two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.c. walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.d. two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases. 25. from the fifth paragraph we can infer that_. a. running barefoot is faster than running in shoes. b. the landing point is very important in running. c. running shoeless can give people a real exercise. d. different running ways cause different injuries.26. why do people who run in shoes land on their heels? a. because the shoes put great force on the back of the foot. b. because the design of running shoes is unreasonable. c. because people who often run get used to landing on their heels. d. because the running people want to run faster.27. whats the writers attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes? a. positive. b. persuasive. c. objective. d. supportive.daustralian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which are thought to be responsible for global warming.thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence(肠胃气胀)contains no methane(甲烷)and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.while the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a huge chimney pushing out carbon dioxide, animals at home contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries. “fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in australia is from methane from cattle and sheep,” said athol kleve, a senior research scientist with the queensland state government.and if you look at another country such as new zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, theyre actually up around 50 percent, ” he said.researchers say the bacteria also make the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers. but it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分离) the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. people are still arguing about this, but about 20 percent of health-conscious australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.“its low in fat, its got high protein levels and its very clean in the sense that basically its the free-range (放养的) animal,” said peter amp of the university of new south waless institute of environmental studies.28. scientists try to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep to _. a. help them fight against different diseases. b. reduce the amount of greenhouse gases. c. get rid of the bacteria in their stomachs. d. protect them from quantities of harmful gas.29. the advantage of transferring the bacteria to cattle and sheep is that_. a. it will take the researchers a long time. b. cattle and sheep will eat more than usual. c. it will help the farmers to save money. d. the bacteria will make them grow quickly.30. from this passage we can infer that_. a. scientists still dont know how to transfer the bacteria to cattle and sheep. b. people in australia depend on kangaroos for food at the present time. c. 14% of the greenhouse gases in new zealand is from cattle and sheep. d. nobody in australia will be allowed to farm cattle and sheep in the future.第二节
