There's a long list of unpleasant things about flying on planes, like waiting in line and sitting in the midd
le seat. And here's another one that troubles a lot or us: getting blocked (堵住的) ears. It's also sometimes called
“airplane ear”. But why do we get it
It happens because of changes in air pressure. When a plane takes off and moves higher,the air pressure
outside our ears goes down quickly because the air is thinner at higher places.However, there is still air from gr
ound level inside our ears. This air is thicker and at a higher pressure. So there is a difference in pressure betwe
en the air inside our ears and outside our ears.
Air pressure changes can make the air in our ears push on the eardrum (耳膜). This happens because air
moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure ones. The pressure makes our ears feel blocked. When the air c
omes out, our ears“pop” and feel normal again.
So how to deal with it Drinking water, swallowing(吞咽) or eating hard sweets can help to clear our ea
rs. The air inside our ears is in the eustachian tube (咽鼓管), which connects the middle ear to the back of the n
ose and throat. Swallowing helps encourage this tube to open a little wider, which helps let out the air inside our
ears.
However, swallowing don't always work. Our ears sometimes stay blocked for longer,which may hurt. I
f your ears take a really long time to clear even when you get off the plane, you may need to see a doctor.
62. What causes the feeling of blocked ears during a flight
初二年级英语学科 第 6 页,共 8 页
A. The loud sound from the airplane. B. Air pressure changes around the ears.
C. Too much water drunk before flying. D. The low temperature inside the airplane.
63. What is the correct order of how airplane ear happens
a. The eardrum is pushed by the higher-pressure air inside the ear.
b. The air pressure outside the ear drops as the plane climbs.
c. The ears feel blocked until the air inside is let out.
d. There is a difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the ear.
A. b→d→a→c B. b→d→c→a C. a→c→b→d D. a→c→d→b
64. Why does swallowing help unblock ears
A. It helps cool down the eardrum faster.
B. It helps raise the air pressure in the ears.
C. It helps lower the noise inside the airplane.
D. It helps open the eustachian tube to let out the air.
65. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To advise people to avoid taking planes.
B. To introduce the structure of the human ears.
C. To list problems people may have when flying.
D. To explain the causes and solutions of airplane ear.

“Look in my eyes. Felt me why. Have you found yourself listening to“ancient
people” online recently
Creative vloggers(视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people f
rom history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu“back to life”.These videos hav
e become popular, showing these ancient icons speaking in modern language.
In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-ShiA portrait of
LI Bai (AI) Rebellion (755——763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert (专家) LiShizhen makes f
un of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞)water but still staying up late.
“These videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn't know much abo
ut their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong.
The new trend isn't for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones (声调)
and always asking questions, annoys (使心烦) some people.“They' re too pushy(压迫感的), which is diffe
rent from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shutong fromJiangsu.

Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he“remembered almost
everything they said about their experiences and achievements” because of the speaking style in the videos.
These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people“speak for themselves”.However,“we shoul
