what happens on the plane here are some of the most interesting things that happen dodo planesplanes dropdrop humanhuman wastewaste whilewhile inin flight flight when you flush 冲 a toilet on a plane at an altitude of 30 000 feet there must be a question in your mind is this about to land on a farmer s house take it easy a plane s toilets cannot be emptied in the sky the waste is stored in tanks on board and can only be operated by the ground crew however why is news like blue ice falling out of a plane reported is blue ice human waste stories about blue ice are true but rarely happen the faa said some toilet holding tanks have a blue chemical in them if a tank leaks high in the air the water freezes once it hits the outside air and melts before it lands on the ground isis turbulenceturbulence 颠簸颠簸 dangerous dangerous it s scary uncomfortable and spills your drink but is turbulence something you really need to worry about 3 absolutely not it s part of flying and it isn t dangerous turbulence is caused when two masses of air hit one another at different speeds wind thunderstorms and closeness to mountains are all possible reasons despite how dangerous it feels turbulence won t crash your plane even in extremely rough air the wing is not going to break off whywhy areare planeplane windowswindows round round if you have traveled by plane before you may have noticed that every plane window has a round design this isn t to make the plane look good it s for the safety of everyone on board as the airplane flies higher and higher the outside atmosphere pressure gets lower and lower in the end the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside at this time windows that can resist pressure are needed square windows can crack the different pressure inside and outside put stress on the right angles however rounded corners help to reduce these stresses by spreading them around the window 21 according to the passage turbulence a is very dangerous b can be caused for many reasons c may crash a plane d seldom happens during flying 22 the plane window has a round design for the purpose of a economy b beauty c convenience d

everybody once felt loneliness loneliness doesn t depend on how many people you are surrounded but actually is decided by how much socially connected you are social media such as wechat qq and

kitchens and bedrooms in the public area there are a variety of public facilities like big kitchens residents can regularly plan activities and meals together some neighborhoods have dinner every day with work clearly given to each person the closer ties in the cohousing communities tend to increase people s sense of security in addition cohousing units prove to be economical although the house 4 itself might be alittle higher the total costs can be lower after considering energy savings through shared meals transportation and others the attitude towards cohousing is mixed intentional people to people interaction is greatly valued and accepted by supporters they treat the lifestyle as the lifeline out of the hole of loneliness however opponents hold that privacy outweighs intentional social interaction they find no need to change their current living style and want to stay unchanged as long as possible such opinion is challenged by some people they argue when those people get older with sudden death of their income or even mate they will realize the value of cohousing communities they are suggested to plan ahead what s your idea will you choose to live in cohousing

area which contains 15 35 public houses c residents plan activities and meals together in their individual houses d the communities will cost people more money because the price of the house is higher 26 what s the author s attitude towards cohousing a uninterested b objective c doubtful d worried 27 what would be the best title for the text a what is a cohousing community b how do you purchase cohousing c why does cohousing appear d would you choose cohousing c i feared sundays i began living for the weekend at 8 30 monday mornings i felt bitter towards my boss the thought of answering

watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the costa rican tropical dry forest by recording their growth and numbers he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten instead he witnessed something odd many groups were increasing in numbers in these groups some were smaller than others suggesting they weren t siblings 兄弟姐妹 wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish called convict cichlids adopt each other s babies why would they do that he wondered in the human world we think of adoption as a selfless act but in nature its presence is puzzling taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal s chances of survival or at least provide no gain yet adoption is surprisingly common in the world take the eastern grey kangaroo between 2008 and 2013 wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the national park in victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch 育儿袋 swapping the circumstances behind some of these adoptions aren t known but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby how come before independence baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mother s pouch following out of pouch attacks mothers normally sniff 嗅 their young before allowing them back in but wisenden s team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff test allowing a 6 vulnerablevulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger once inside the wrong pouch the young may fake the mother s odor 气味 making them smell confusingly like her own descendants so poor baby recognition is the prime cause of accidental adoption some of nature s adoptions are actually driven by young looking for better prospects in burrower bugs for example females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants finding nuts is a competitive business so not every mother bug gets her fair share and if the delivery rate isn t up to scratch clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better fed group that s similar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies if poorly fed may leave home in search of better parents the consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be extremely terrible the true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned but it can have remarkable benefits not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents 32 it can be inferred from the passage that wisenden s findings are a too weird 怪诞的 to be witnessed b envied by his peer co researchers c out of his own expectations d a sound proof of his research object 33 which is not the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom a baby animals looking for better parenting b selfless adoption commonly seen in animal world c parents failure to recognize their own babies d parents inability to provide enough food 34 the underlined word vulnerablevulnerable in the fourth paragraph means a naughty and easily hurt b fragile and poorly raised c weak and easily attacked d independent and well fed 35 what will the author most probably talk about next a the benefits for adopters b the benefits for baby animals c the consequences of adoption d the consequences of wrong identity 第二节 共第二节 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 满分分 满分 1010 分 分 根据短文内容
