airlines were just beginning. it was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. in those days, there were no flight attendants（空乘人员） to look after the passengers. young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. but then in 1930,a woman called ellen church invented the “stewardess”.ellen church was born in 1904 on a farm in iowa. she was a different child. she didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. ellen studied to be a nurse at the university of minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. for the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilots license. ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with boeing air transport. she loved flying but she understood that airlines were a mans world. although women like emelia earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .but she had another idea. most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. there were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and b.a.t. agreed.the young woman from iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.at first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. in 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. the early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. when a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. it was hard job and not well paid. they worked long hours and earned 1 an hour.in the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. they are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.36. the last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _.a. the word “stewardess” was made up by ellen churchb. ellen church was the first woman who flew a planec. ellen church was the first woman who worked on a planed. ellen church was the first woman passenger on a plane37. from the second paragraph, we learn that _.a. ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsb. ellens family was not rich enough to support her educationc. ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitald. ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely38.the main reason for boeing air transport offering ellen the job was _.a. her flying experienceb. her university educationc. her nursing experience d. her life attitudes39. according to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to _ if she wanted to be a stewardess.a. be a nurseb. be marriedc. be a motherd. be young40. the passage mainly talks about _.a. the background of early flying pilots b. the experience of flying passengersc. the history of early flight attendantsd. the development of airplanescat east china university of science and technology,students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food.students can collect coupons and exchange them for smallgifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers andhand warmers. its been such a surprise, said liang zhaoyun, 19, astudent at the university in shanghai. it has given us onemore motivation to finish our food. the measure is part of a national eat-up campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园). why only on campuses, you might ask? because according to a report by xinhna news agency,students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均). the campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country. the aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. we hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle, said tao siliang, secretary of the youth league committee at shanghai university. but some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it. im glad that weve reduced food waste since the eat-up campaign began. but if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses. said tao.41. from paragraph l,we know that the students will get a coupon . a. when they eat school food b. after they exchange gifts c. if they finish all their food d. if they collect the waste42. the undedined word motivation in paragraph 2 means in chinese. a. 动力 b. 机会 c. 试验 d. 条件43. the eat-up campaign is carried out on campuses because _. a. students get a good education b. schools offer small gifts c. students waste too

campusdwhats going to happen in the future? will robots take over our planet? will computers become smarter than us? not likely. but here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the bbc.digital money we used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. now when we use a credit card(信用卡)to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. that means we are already using digital money. using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. it is also safer than carrying a lot of cash. when atm cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. but now its hard to live without them. its reported that people in sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the us might be next.bionic(仿生的) eyeits no longer something only in a science fiction movie. people who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back by wearing bionic eyes.a blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data(数据) to the mind. now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. a high resolution(高清的) image could be just a few years away.self- driving carsunlike a human driver, a self-driving car wont get distracted(分神)by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. this would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. you could even take a nap while the car drives itself. in the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted. 46. _has stopped using cash completely.a. sweden b. atm c. bbc d. america 47. what does the writer mainly tell us about digital
