The companys chief pilot, Phil Meteer, piloted the flying car.Transition is a two-seat airplane that can take off and land at airports as well as drive on roads.The company said that the flying car can travel at speeds up to 115 mph in the air, drive at highway speeds on the ground, and fold up (折叠）to fit in a garage (车库) 81 inches wide and 80 inches high.Hospitals could use it to transport patients so as to avoid road traffic. It may start running on wheels, and when it gets to traffic lights it can fly overhead the lights and keep its way forward. So its good news to avoid traffic problems and the traffic accidents.But some people say this is a going airplane rather than a flying car, at least on the appearance.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(网络)didnt work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government(政府), but in the early 1970s, universities(大学), hospitals and banks(银行) were allowed(允许)to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made surfing the Internet more convenient(方便的).Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.

Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer.The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless(无穷尽的）.All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses(按）“print, the 3-D printer spreads the materials layer(层）by layer and like magic the object is produced.The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous.In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers(提款机盗刷器).These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, youll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。（1） invented the first3-D printer. A . Charles HullB . Four men in the USC .

Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder (解码器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There are all kinds of information -everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page, which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109, so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the weeks best bargains. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and the whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.London already has three services. One, sent out by TV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized(宣传). BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that is a breakthrough(突破) as great as the invention of printing, which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life.（1）We can know from the passage that in London .A . the magazine is available at any local homeB . most of the postmen will lose their jobs some dayC . everyone can read this magazine if they have a televisionD . the readers can get various kinds of information staying at home（2）In the sentence “Each page of it is numbered,” the word “it” refers to the .A . magazineB . programC . decoderD . subject（3）According to the passage, the “decoder” is used to help people .A . work out the total(合计) of certain numbersB . read the information sent by TV signalsC . go shopping and have other entertainmentD . receive some special TV program for entertainment（4）The passage is mainly about .A . a new magazine printed in LondonB . an up-to-date way of getting informationC . a popular TV program about magazinesD . an advanced technology helping people communicate7. （8分）阅读理解 Youre not the same person you were as a child. Youre not even the same person you were five years ago. We dont just mean your personality. While wed love to start a never-ending discussion over the true self, were here to talk about the cells(细胞)in your body.Do you know how your fingernails and hair are constantly growing and replacing themselves? The same thing happens almost everywhere in your body. Your outer layer of skin makes way for fresher skin, and inside your veins(血管), blood cells turn over to make way for fresh blood. Its probably no surprise that these types of cells are short-lived, even some of the most seemingly permanent(永久的)parts of your body replace themselves over time-including your bones.Strong as your bones might seem, the cells theyre made of wont last a lifetime. Bones are masters at rebuilding themselves, which is why most broken bones can heal on their own into the right shape.Bones have special cells called osteoclasts(破骨细胞)whose job is to break down bone, even if it isnt broken, and send the minerals into the blood stream. This may sound frighteningly like your bones are wearing away, but your body knows what its doing. As osteoclasts break down bone, osteoblasts(成骨细胞)build up new bone to replace the old. By the end of each year, about 10 percent of your entire adult skeleton will have been rebuilt through this process.If 10 percent of your bone breaks down every year, it must take about ten years to renew 100 percent of your skeleton. That would be a great guess, and it lines up nicely with the medical myth that the human bodys cells are fully replaced every seven years, but the body is a bit more complex. That 10 percent is just an average-some bone grows faster than that, and some grows slower. While some parts of your bone will turn over quickly, other parts will stick around for decades. In fact, most bone cells could live as long as 50 years.So before you get wrapped up in an identity crisis(危机)about the cells in your body disappearing on you, know that you can lose some hair and you can cut your nails, but the bones of you arent going anywhere-at least not very soon and not all at once.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . All the cells in our body are the same ones that we were born with.B . Our blood cells are constantly growing and replacing themselves.C . It must take about 10 years to rebuild 100 percent of our skeleton.D . Osteoblasts can break down skin and also rebuild it over time.（2）The underlined words wearing away probably mean _. A . building upB . taking offC . dying outD . turning on（3）What does the passage mainly talk about? A . Our skeleton seems permanent but renews itself over time.B . It is not surprising that some cells in our body are short-lived.C . There are two types of cells in our bones: osteoclasts and osteoblasts.D . We are not the same person we were five years ago because of personality.8. （8分）阅读下列短文，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳选项。A.The great success of Tu Youyou, the first Chinese woman national to win a Nobel prize in science, has made Chinese full of happiness and hopes on the future of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
