Instead, choose natural materials like cotton or wool. Its also a good idea to favour long pants (like jeans) and a long-sleeved shirt for extra protection from flames and sharp objects.Your seatA Popular Mechanics study of 20 commercial jet crashes with both fatalities and survivors found that passengers seated in the rear cabin had a 69 percent chance of survival, compared with just 49 percent for those in first class.Besides, exit rows are the safest place to sit on the whole plane. In the event of an evacuation, the closer you are to an exit, the higher the chance youll escape uninjured.During a crashThe safest way to sit during a crash is to brace(支撑) yourself.In a 2020 crash simulation, Boeing found that passengers who both wore their seat belts and assumed a brace position (feet flat, head cradled against their knees or the seat in front of them if possible) were likeliest to survive a crash.And the first thing you should do during a crash is put on the oxygen mask the minute it drops. During a loss of cabin pressure, the fall in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as 20 seconds.21.What clothes is probably recommended when taking a plane? A. a nylon shirt B. a cotton shirt C. polyester pants D. plastic pants22.Where is the safest place during a jet crash? A. seats in first class B. seats in economy class C. seats in the rear cabin D. seats near the exit23.Which behavior is proper during a crash?A. To take on a brace position.B. To sit up right.C. To loose the seat belt.D. To put on the oxygen mask for neighbors.BThe flowers are blooming and the birds are singing as Melinda sits in the rose garden of the nursing home. She is recalling old times as she waits for her familys arrival. The nursing home has been Melindas new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic (不现实的) but agreed to the promise for Thomass sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. Thats what she loved about him most he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year, followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey” George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here.”24. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B. He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D. He stopped loving Melinda.25. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. peaceful.B. simple.C. stressful.D. happy.26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melindas children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaCPhone batteries rarely last a full day anymore, so carrying compact chargers(小巧的充电器)is becoming normal. But many of these so-called portable devices are heavy, thick andinconvenient until Solar Paper is developed.Chicago engineers have designed a super-thin, lightweight panel called Solar Paper capable of charging an iPhone in two hours and multiple panels can be combined to boost its power. It was created by Chicago-based Yolk. After raising(筹钱) more than $1 million online for the production, it is now available to purchase throughout the country. It comes in four versions 2.5W, 5W, 7.5W and 10W depending on the output needed for various devices. And these different models are created by combining individual 2.5W panels together.A 2.5W panel will charge an iPhone in five hours. The 5W version charges the same devices but cuts charging time to two hours or three hours if its cloudy. The 7.5W model Solar Paper charges the devices at the same time as the 5W version but produces more energy when it is cloudy. The 10W version is ideal for the iPad Air 2, and will charge a device in 2.5 hours. Each individual panel measures 3.5 inches 6.7 inches 0.6 inches, weighs 60g and is 1.5mm thick.Other features include a unique automatic reset(重置) function which stops and starts the Paper charging when casting with a shadow or placed in sunlight. Other solar chargers require you to re-plug(重播) the wire at these conditions. It also has a low-energy LCD screen that displays the amount of power the Solar Paper produces in real time.28. What does the underlined word boost in the second paragraph mean?A. increase.B. balance.C. possess.D. reduce.29. What can we know about the Solar Paper?A. The LCD screen shows how much power an iPhone uses.B. Customers are able to buy Solar Paper all over the world.C. The 7.5W version is the best choice if users charge an iPad.D. Yolk started an online activity to fund production of Solar Paper.30. How is Solar Paper different from other solar chargers?A. It can be carried wherever you go.B. It can get reconnected automatically after a shadow.C. It can produce more electricity.D. It can produce power even if its rainy.31. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce the strengths of solar chargers.B. To praise Chicago engineers for their efforts.C. To advise producers to keep phone batteries last long.D. To introduce a new type of solar charger.DIf you look up in the corner of your phone, you re probably used to seeing a little indicator that says 4G, 3G or 2G. But all this is in the soon to be past, because up on the horizon is 5G. In fact, as 5G rolls out over the next two years, its going to change everything with a wireless connection. So, whats so special about a 5G future?First of all, its fast, 100 - 250 times faster than 4G. But what sets 5G apart is its latency(延迟)rate, which is the amount of delay between the sending and receiving of information. Now, 4G tends to average about 100-200 milliseconds. To be fair, 100 milliseconds is FAST; human reaction time is about 200 -300 milliseconds. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond. Or less.That might be one of the biggest breakthroughs in 5G: a network of self-driving cars all sending data between each other, and communicating with traffic lights, road sensors(传感器) and soon. Think about it, human reaction speed is 200 milliseconds, and we still have accidents every day. Imagine if your car could react, and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within a millisecond. To some extent, we could end car accidents.Of course, there are some dissenting voices, claiming that the exposure to 5G radiation is harmful. An event is a typical warning, they believe, that a 5G cellular network(蜂窝网络)in a park in Netherlands has caused the mass death of birds.But this is a rumor. Dr. Eric, a member of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, told that the levels of exposure in the 5G frequency range are comparable to existing technology and thus very low, much lower than the exposure limits which can really pose a threat to the surroundings.So, the wheel of technology turns irresistibly. What we need to do is wait and enjoy.32. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. 5G will completely replace 4G.B. 5G is on the way.C. 5G is popular.D. 5G will back out.33. Whats the most distinctive feature of 5G?A. It is much faster than 4G.B. Its latency rate is crazily high.C. Its delay time can be less than 1 millisecond.D. It can be used in self-driving cars.34.The functions of 5G in self-driving cars dont include_.A. ending car accidents completely B. sending data between each otherC. communicating with traffic lights D. reacting to the road sensor35.The authors attitude towards the future of 5G may best be described as _.A. positiveB. subjectiveC. objectiveD. concerned第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you like writing a few paragraphs every day about your experiences, hopes, memories or feelings?
