Have you ever imagined getting to the airport in a flying taxi, soaring over those who are stuck in traffic below What would you feel if electric air taxis could one day take you from downtown to the suburbs, high above expressway traffic, in a tiny amount of the time it takes to drive
It's not a dream in the distant future. It's the vision of electric aircraft developer Eve, which is leading a group of aviation companies and local governments conducting singulations(模拟) in Chicago. Though the aircraft are likely years away from receiving official approval to fly, it's a vision shared by other major companies, like Chicago-based United Airlines, which recently struck a conditional agreement to buy at least 200 of Eve's flying taxis.
The concept of bypassing(绕开) traffic by air isn't new. But Eve co-CEO And re Stein said the air taxis are nothing like traditional electric helicopters or flying cars. They are designed to use eight motors distributed around the aircraft to take off vertically, then electric pushers and wings to glide forward.
Stein hopes the air taxis to help passengers reach meetings across town or providing away to get home quickly in time for a child's birthday. Compared to an everyday option like public transport, they can help save time when necessary. Besides, the new technology is expected to make air taxis more affordable than helicopters and the ticket price could be around $100 to travel20 miles. Stein also boasts what he describes as improved efficiency and sustainability. “It's much simpler, much lower maintenance(维护, 保养) than a helicopter, much quieter,” he said.
For now, Eve hopes their work will help provide a better understanding of how the air taxis could fit into current air traffic patterns and how they can connect with users journey via ground transport to the heliport. “It's really about bringing another option for urban air mobility,” Stein said.
24. Why does the author raise two questions in paragraph 1
A. To express his doubts. B. To arrange air transport.
C. To introduce Eve's vision. D. To present current situation.
25. What is the company Eve doing in Chicago
A. Working together with taxi companies.
B. Working at developing flying taxis.
C. Carrying out simulations in the lab.
D. Negotiating with local governments.
26. What is Stein's attitude to electric air taxis
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Concerned
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The concept of urban air mobility. B. The benefits of air traffic patterns.
C. The development of ground transport. D. The promising future of flying taxi service.

After years of pounding my knees and ankles in dashes and the long jump, pain ended my decades of track and field competition. But how do you live without the adrenaline(肾上腺素) of racing That's simple. You just become sensible at age sixty and turn to competitive swimming! Suddenly, the pounding was gone, and so was the pain. However, in less than a month, I was fed up with pool laps and no sights. Now what
Y A friend in the Annapolis Striders had the answer. This marathoner said he had stayed fit by intense walking while healing from a running injury. “Try it,” he said. “It's even a competitive sport.” Sure enough, a certain kind of energetic walking is a 100-year-old Olympic event called racewalking.
- I took to this sport immediately. I didn't have to enter races to be a racewalker. However, those who compete must follow rules and must please numerous hard-eyed judges or be disqualified(DQ). But for me, doing it was enough. It took me many months to become smooth in the style. I had lost a sport but had found another.
Then came a disaster. Lower back pain had arrived. “Surgery is a last solution,” I was told. Dr. Clifford Solomon, super-surgeon of Annapolis, Maryland, had the cure. It left me with full leg control, but a flopping(耷拉的) foot. I would be able to jog, but not meet racewalk rules. By chance I tuned the TV to an old movie showing Fred Astaire dancing up a storm. From the ankle down, his feet swiveled(旋转) in the very motion I needed. I turned off the TV and went to the Senior Center.
As the only man among twenty-nine students in the tap dancing class I learned that grandmothers are programmed to care for any wounded creature. Some paid particular attention to this seventy-five-year-old patient, staying after class to guide and inspire. With examples, humor, encouragement and advice, they taught me to tap dance. They cured my flopping foot.
Within a year, I was competing well enough to enter the USA Track and Field Nationals in Boston and break the American record for the 3,000 - meter racewalk. And now, at eighty-six, I'm still competing and often thinking of those ladies.
28. Why did the author stop swimming
A. He couldn't bear the pain any longer.
B. He lost the ability to compete with others.
C. He couldn't adjust adrenaline to normal levels.
D. He was bored with it and couldn't enjoy scenery.
29. What did the author spend many months doing
A. Visiting lots of strict judges.
B. Competing in racewalking events.
C. Perfecting his racewalking techniques.
D. Searching for other ways to exercise.
30. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 5
A. He was the only one in need of care.
B. He received the female classmates' kindness.
C. He engaged in diverse after-class activities.
D. The class was mostly made up of elderly students.
31 Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Determined and traditional. B. Energetic and adventurous.
C. Hard-working and persistent. D. Responsible and courageous.
D
Most people hate mosquitoes(蚊子)— but scientists are about to build a “mosquito factory” to release modified mosquitoes.
The modified mosquitoes carry a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis (沃尔巴克氏菌) which can be naturally found in most insect species. However, it's rarely discovered in mosquitoes. “We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’ Neil. An Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population.
Several studies have demonstrated the insects' success. For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue (登革热) by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021.
The World Mosquito Program has announced that it will release modified mosquitoes in many of Brazil's urban areas over the next 10 years. The aim is to protect up to 70 million people from diseases such as dengue, a disease mainly spread by mosquitoes. Dengue patients may have mild symptoms(症状) like fever, but severe cases
can lead to death.
Brazil has one of the highest rates of dengue infection in the world, according to the Nature website. “More than 1,000 people died of dengue in 2022 because of the spread of mosquitoes. It's going everywhere,” Luciano Moreira, a scientist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, told CBC News.
Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified (GM, 转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida
According to the agency, GM mosquitoes carry two types of genes: a self-limiting gen that prevents female offspring(后代) from surviving to adulthood, and a marker gene that allows researchers to identify GM ones in the wild. After being released, GM mosquitoes lay eggs, so the genes are passed on to offspring. In this way, the number of female mosquitoes is reduced, therefore reducing the chance of spreading disease.
32. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O' Neil
A. To prevent mosquitoes from biting people.
B. To make money for the scientists involved.
C. To reduce the number of insects in the world.
D. To spread a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis.
33. What can we learn about the release of modified mosquitoes in Brazil
A. The decision to do so is only based on scientific research.
B. The program will immediately reduce dengue cases by 77%.
C. The high infection rate of dengue in Brazil is a key factor to it.
D. The program aims to remove dengue completely within the next decade.
34. What does the underlined word “cleared” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Permitted. B. Removed. C. Judged. D. Limited.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. Modified Mosquitoes to Fight Diseases
B. The Benefits of Mosquitoes
C. The World Mosquito Program's Success
D. Genetic Engineering in Medical Research

In this digital age 56 most of us can't live without digital devices, it may sound hard to believe Yang Hao, 57 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the UK, had a solo trip the old-fashioned way last year. He used a printed map, paying for everything 58 (use) cash or a bank card, reading train timetables, and talking to strangers.
Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions across China, read 40 books, and used two cameras to record 59 he saw and experienced along the way. “I realized that those 134 days were the most fulfilling, 60 (focus) and productive period of my life. It was an experience of absolute 61 (concentrate),” says Yang. Since his story was posted online, it 62 (bring) about widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence on technology. One netizen named Yangbu’er 63 (say) that “while technology makes the world smaller 64 we seem to have more resources to hand, we also lose some things”. Another from Fujian province wrote that not having a phone would bring anxiety in modern society because phones combine many functions in one.
Though he foresaw that it would trigger (引发) some discussion, the public attention his journey has drawn is 65 (true) beyond his imagination. Now, he keeps a degree of distance from the Internet, and does not have Wi-Fi connected to his phone and also limits his phone usage to 90 minutes per day.
