21、 An American company has built a new drone that could improve the speed of deliveries.
The drone is very different from other unmanned aircraft. It is made almost completely out of cardboard and has no motor. It can be packed with materials and sealed up with tape.
Because the drones do not have a motor, they are designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be sent out at once. Then they could be automatically guided to where they are supposed to go.The company says these drones could then complete deliveries to different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometres. The drones look bigger than the paper airplanes we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is not a toy. It is aerodynamically designed and equipped with a small computer, a battery and sensors to guide it to the ground.
The drones are being developed by Otherlab -a technology research company in San Francisco,California. It calls the drone a "Sky Machine".
The company says it can travel about 150 kilometres at speeds up to 88 kilometres an hour. Now,it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future models are expected to carry larger loads.
One of the drone's main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery. This allows more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and operate.
The Otherlab development team has called the invention the "IKEA of drones”. Packaged similarly to products from the famous Swedish furniture maker, it borrows IKEA' s concept. The drone arrives as flat pieces of pre-cut cardboard that can be quickly and easily put together.
The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 metres of its target, according to Otherlab. Unlike other drones,even a crash landing is acceptable. The company says the drones can also be reused.
Once the drone completes its delivery, it can be thrown away and the cardboard material will break down within a few months.
The company has received money from the US Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones. The money came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The agency is attempting to find the best delivery vehicles that can disappear after their missions are completed. The US military has a need for delivery drones. But it wants to simplify and lower the cost of using them. Otherlab's Sky Machines are an attempt to fill that need.
Military drones can also be stolen and studied by others if found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside must also somehow disappear. Researchers are still working on ways to get the technology itself to self-destruct.
【1】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Why the new drone is invented.
B.What the new drone is equipped with.
C.How the new drone can get to the ground.
D.Why the new drone is designed like paper airplanes.
【2】Why is the invention called the "IKEA of drones"?
A.Because it's a similar product made by IKEA.
B.Because it uses the idea from IKEA.
C.Because it's built at a low cost like furniture of IKEA.
D.Because it's made up of pre-cut cardboard.
【3】Which of the following statements is the advantage of the new drone?
A.It can land near its target. B.It has a light motor inside.
C.A crash landing is not acceptable. D.Its load weighs far more than one kilo.
【4】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about Otherlab's Sky Machines?
A.They have been built by the US military.
B.Research is being carried out on their improvement.
C.They are now often stolen and studied by others after deliveries.
D.The electronic materials inside can already destroy themselves after use.
22、Microplastics — tiny pieces of plastic waste less than five millimetres long that have been degraded by waves, wind and ultraviolet rays — have been discovered in the deepest oceanic trenches and within the stomachs of the organisms that live there, but we have little idea about where the great majority of them end up. More than eight million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans every year, comprising between 80 and 85 percent of all marine trash, but with inadequate data, there are concerns that these figures could be underestimates.
Currently, most of the data we have on microplastics are accidentally captured by research ships, which use plankton nets to collect marine-microorganism samples. However, researchers Christopher Ruf and Madeline Evans from the University of Michigan have discovered an innovative way to identify and track concentrations of microplastics in the ocean.
The technique relies on NASA’s Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), a constellation of eight micro-satellites used to predict hurricanes that calculate wind speeds above the ocean by measuring the roughness of surface waters. As the satellites are continuously recording, Ruf and Evans realised that they collect a great deal of additional data. It was while analysing these data that they noticed some differences-times where the surface of the ocean appeared to be much smoother than it should, given the prevailing wind (盛行风) conditions.
Knowing that water isn’t roughened as much when it contains a lot of floating material, Ruf and Evans identified a pattern that linked areas of unusual smoothness and predicted microplastic distributions. They found that the difference between their measurements, and how much rougher the surface would be if winds of the same speed were blowing across clear water, was “highly correlated with the presence of microplastics, and the degree of the difference also correlated with the concentration of the plastics.”
The research reveals that there are seasonal variations,where the concentrations of microplastics tend to be higher in the summer and lower in the winter in a very clean, periodic way, which Ruf explains mirrors the way in which the ocean circulation changes throughout the year. It also confirms, as was previously thought, that rivers are the main source of ocean microplastics.
Raising awareness of the issue of ocean microplastics among the public and politicians is just one of the researchers’ future aims; they are also in conversation with Duteh non-profit The Ocean Cleanup and Finnish clean-technology specialist Clewat, which are interested in using the information to more efficiently target their trash-collection campaigns.
So far, only one year’s worth of data have been processed since CYGNSS was launched in 2016. By looking at a longer time period, Ruf and Evans aim to determine whether the seasonal pattern is repeatable, and whether the concentration of micmplastics in the ocean is getting worse.
【1】What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．The limited knowledge about ocean microplastics.
B．The harm of ocean microplastics to sea creatures.
C．The methods of degrading ocean microplasties.
D．The previous research on ocean microplasties.
【2】According to the passage, CYGNSS ________.

B．guides research ships to gather data about sea animals
C．provides unexpected data about the changes of sea surface
D．was designed to measure the distribution of ocean microplastics
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Microplastics will end up in the stomachs of the ocean organisms.
B．Mlicroplastics play a vital role in the yearly ocean circulation changes.
C．The surface of the ocean can get smoother with more microplastics in it.
D．The new way of tracking microplastics has helped prevent ocean pollution.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce the technology of CYGNSS.
B．To present a way to study ocean microplastics.
C．To test an assumption on ocean microplastics.
D．To propose a new means of protecting the ocean.
23、 Born in Philadelphia the youngest of five children, Ruiz grew up in a loving household in suburban South Jersey. But that is not her full story. Ruiz's father passed away when she was three, leaving her mother to raise the five children. The family moved more than she'd like to remember -three times when she was in 5th grade alone.
Though her mother was a working single parent trying to support her own family, she didn't hesitate to help others. Friends arrived needing a temporary place to crash and stayed indefinitely. Ruiz's aunt, diagnosed with cancer, moved in with the family after her graduation from high school and they cared for her through the end.
Ruiz became an EMT and worked nights in Philadelphia, eventually enrolling in Rowan College at Gloucester County, where she sought to develop her skills as a storyteller. Ruiz got such good grades at RCGC that she was offered a partial scholarship to study journalism at the University of Miami but realizing she could not get enough to cover everything the scholarship wouldn't, she didn't go to Miami. She applied to Rowan. She graduated with two degrees-Journalism and Radio, Television &. Film-from the College of Communication &. Creative Arts.
Last fall, Ruiz joined the staff of Rowan Radio 89. 7 WGLS-FM where she quickly became news director and this spring began an internship with the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, a nationally syndicated radio program in New York City. The Duran program exposed her to a world of career possibilities, from behind the scenes production to on-air talent.
“I know what it's like to feel isolated, to feel like your story is not getting heard, " she said."Rowan provided me the tools to give a voice to the voiceless. My goal is to share powerful stories so that I can inspire as many people as possible to love themselves and to follow their dreams. "

24、 Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally cane to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values night help then see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
【1】According to the passage who have a communication problem?

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
What Coffee Does to Your Health
Coffee can be considered one of nature’s greatest gifts. It gives mental and emotional clearness without harmful side effect, and it contains a wealth of nutrients. Yet, when most people drink coffee, they are not thinking that the drink is improving their health. In fact, some may even feel a little guilty, since some believe coffee isn’t good for them at all.
Well, there’s the truth of the matter. Coffee, like anything else, can bring about problems if too much is consumed. In the short-term, too much coffee will cause sleeping problems and high blood pressure. In the long-term, too much coffee will cause stomach problem as well as teeth staining.
As for the benefits, moderate consumption of coffee, which means 1 to 4 cups a day, provides your body with a wealth of antioxidants(抗氧化物质).These substances are responsible for eliminating free radicals(自由基). They are the chemical byproducts produced any time your body does something. A small number of them can help serve as something against negative elements, but if they aren’t kept in control, they can cause health problems. Antioxidants ensure that this doesn’t happen.
The psychological effects of caffeine cannot be ignored either. Not only does caffeine make you more alert, but it can actually affect your mood. If you were feeling depressed, a nice cup of coffee could change your perspective. The stack of work that seemed impossible before isn’t even a problem now.
In addition, caffeine helps stimulate creativity as it speeds up the body’s functioning. That’s why coffee is often associated with writers and other intellectual professions. Other drugs tend to make people dumber. Consider what happens when people get drunk off of alcohol. They won’t be functional at all. But with coffee, an individual gets a push in creative thinking while still helping their bodies.
In conclusion, don’t feel bad when you are making your morning cup of coffee. Unlike a shot of alcohol, coffee will make your feel wonderful while keeping you healthy. Just remember, you do have to consume it in moderation.
