Its estimated that the result will come out in 2016, and it will likely be approved, Zhou said.Chinas major airlines and telecommunication companies have been preparing an alliance to conduct research into making phone calls during flights, said He Guili, head of China Telecom Technology Labs under the Ministry of Information and Industry Technology. He said the main problem lies in the combination between mobile signals and aircraft electronic navigation systems, but that two solutions offered are already technically mature(成熟的).During a test on July 23, about 80 passengers were invited to use Chinas first onboard WiFi service on a China Eastern Airlines flight between Shanghai and Beijing. They were only allowed to use iPads and laptops, however.Compared to the boom of WiFi service abroad, the service in China is still in the start-up stage, and has not yet been put into mass commercial use. The European Aviation Safety Agency(EASA) has just announced the airlines can now permit passengers to use electronic devices such as mobile phones during flights. It said electronic devices do not pose a safety risk, and that airlines can allow passengers to use mobile phones once they have conducted their own safety reviews.56.According to Zhou Hong, . A.China has already allowed passengers the use of mobiles during flights. B.the adoption of WiFi on the plane is still being tested in China C.Chinas airlines and telecommunication companies havent reached an agreement. D.electronic devices can be used at a height of less than 3,000 meters.57.Which of the following is TRUE about the passage? A.China has made greater progress in in-flight WiFi than other countries around the world. B.there are no ways to solve the problem between mobile signals and aircraft electronic navigation systems. C.mobiles werent allowed to be used during the test on July 23. D.EASA still has a long way to go to ensure the safety for passengers using electronic devices during flights.58.This passage might be taken from . A.a fashion magazine B.a tourist guide C.a local newspaper D.a science storyBDo you want to take kids to indoor concerts? The following are some cool wonderful kids concerts in New York City for you.

Yuri Gagarin might be up there somewhere-the first man in space. Dad brought me outside to look and to wonder at how unbelievable it was. “You know,” Dad said, “you could be the first woman astronaut if you wanted to be and you worked hard enough at school.”These conversations went on throughout my childhood and teenage years. They got more realistic as I got older, but what never wavered was the message that I should do whatever I wanted to do and he would support it. It was taken for granted that I would leave home and have a career. A two-day school trip to Stratford-upon-Avon when I was 13 was described as my “first trial flight.”Being a father like this with a daughter born in the early 1950s seems more amazing the older I get. Dad came from a mining family in west Durham. Like his father, grandfather and older brothers he became a miner when he left school. Dad himself was always the family breadwinner. Mum worked in shops between leaving school and having a family and returned to shop work when I was a teenager. The woman in Dads life were clever, strong and capable but they didnt leave home and have careers.Of course, he wasnt the only dad to do what he did. Some of my school and university friends had fathers from similar backgrounds who championed(倡导) their daughters independence with just the same enthusiasm. And there must have been thousands more nationally, cheering on their daughters to take advantage of the chances their mothers, sisters and wives had never had.What I admire is not just the decision to grasp those chances for his child but then having the imagination to know how to bring up his daughter in a completely different way-to fire her imagination with the idea that life could be very different from the lives lived by the women around her. How did they know how to do that? Dad died 25years ago, long before I thought I should ask him. I knew Dad and he would just have said it was easy, and came naturally. Still, I am even grateful for my amazing 1950s father. He was the best.62.The underlined word “wavered” in the 2nd paragraph might be replaced with . A.changed B.confirmed C.appeared D.operated63.Which of the following is true about the authors Dad? A.He was influenced by Yuri Gagarin and wanted to be an astronaut. B.He worked in shops when the author was a teenager. C.He became a miner after finishing school. D.He thought women shouldnt go out to work.64.According to the author, many fathers intended their daughters to be . A.enthusiastic B.independent C.different D.traditional65.It can be learnt from the passage that . A.the author wanted to become an astronaut. B.the authors mother hoped the author could have a career. C.the authors father always encouraged her to do whatever she liked, D.the author got her first job when she was 13 years old.第二卷(共45分)注意事项：请将第二卷上的答案写在答题纸上！五、单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 66.Sarah didnt intend to talk with others in the room, (假装)to be reading a magazine. 67.It is good manners to make an (道歉) when you bump into someone on a bus. 68.I am (谨慎)optimistic that a new government will be concerned and aware about the environment. 69.As a teacher, Mr. James has a (责任) to give his students a sense of achievement. 70.Do you think (回收利用) is the best way to help protect the environment by sa
