Seeing the high mountain, and I fearfully said, “I’m afraid I can't make it to the top.” Looking in my eyes, Father said gentle, “Never will you know what you can do until you try. Just try your best and you can make. ” With his encourage, I decided to have a try. Step to step I followed him and finally climbed to a top of the mountain. Can you imagine how exciting I was when I did what I had thought was impossible? Ever since I’ve realized that I can achieve my goal if I believe in me.

CHICAGO--- Airplanes are polluters. They're as noisy as a rock concert, and send out poisons into the air as well as dump millions of pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. By 2050, emissions (排放) from planes are expected to become one of the largest contributors to global warming.
That’s why researchers at MIT are designing a completely new type of airplane for NASA that will enable greener airplanes to take flight before 2050.
The 180-passenger D “double bubble” series was designed to replace the Boeing 737 class aircraft, the most popular jetliner in the world right now. The design is called a “double bubble” because it uses two partial cylinders (气缸) placed side by side. Those two cylinders create a wider structure that looks like two soap bubbles joined together.
In today’s commercial airplanes, air flows directly into the engines located on the plane’s wings. That high-speed air flow drags on the plane, and requires more fuel to overcome the design inefficiency.
MIT’s design changes all that. By moving the engines to the plane’s tail, they take in slower moving air present in the wake of the fuselage (机舱). Less drag means less fuel is needed to get the plane the same distance.
Burning less fuel can help passengers’ wallet as well as the environment. The environmental implications of saving energy are as just as clear: the fewer emissions that planes spout（喷射） into the atmosphere, the healthier our planet.
But for passengers, we still have a couple decades to wait before any of these planes make it onto the runway. NASA’s goal is to make sure the planes that MIT has designed can take off by 2035.
1.The best feature of the double bubble flight is that _____.
A.it will make no noise B.it will hold more passengers
C.it is designed to save fuel D.it needs no runways to take off
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A.It's expected that NASA’s goal will be realized by the year 2035.
B.Airplanes are very noisy for the environment
C.MIT’s new design will save passengers’ money
D.Emission from planes are contributing the most to the global warming now.
3.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Here is Boeing 737's end
B.Passengers will enjoy lower prices
C.Researchers are designing greener aircraft
D.Airlines attract passengers with new planes
4.The passage comes from a ____.
A.Science textbook B.News report
C.Travel guide D.Environment research
China which boasts 4 inventions in ancient times, has once again shown its ability to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. “The new great inventions are all related to China’s high technologies, which improved the quality of people’s lives.” said Wu Hao, executive director of the BRRI.
“It is increasingly clear that China is innovative and is leading in many ways such as social messaging app WeChat,”said Rebecca Fannin, founder and editor of Silicon Dragon.
The new four innovative ways of life were most appealing to youths from 20 countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, according to a survey by the Belt and Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
“My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with a tap of my phone, “said Lin Jinlong, an overseas Chinese student from Cambodia, adding that. “even pancake sellers are using Alipay”. “I can order food at home in China, which is super convenient. If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”
“The trip from Beijing to the coastal city of Tianjin is more than 100 km. You can’t imagine how fast it takes if you travel by Chinese high-speed train. It will take only half an hour. But in Cambodia, which has only two railways, the traveling time of the same distance will be increased 6 times,” said Lin.
“China has entered a new period,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, World Health Organization Representative in China. As a huge fan of bicycles, Bernhard expressed his affection for China’s shared bicycles, saying that “shared bikes are bringing cycling back to people’s lives and they are making public transport more attractive and convenient, and encouraging people to be more active.”
1.What does the underlined word “innovative” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Creative.
B.Expensive.
C.Popular.
D.Convenient.
2.What do we know from Lin Jinlong’s words?
A.Food can be ordered by cell phones in Cambodian.
B.Alipay is only popular with pancake sellers in China.
C.Traveling 100 km by rail in Cambodia takes up to 3 hours.
D.Wallets can be replaced by cell phones both in China and Cambodia.
3.Which invention impressed Bernhard most?
A.High-speed railways.
B.Electronic payments.
C.Shared bicycles.
D.Online shopping.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To compare old and new four Chinese great inventions.
B.To introduce benefits of popular means of transportation.
C.To present a Cambodian student's living experience in China.
D.To show how four Chinese new inventions impressed the world.
Larry Ritsema was out for an early morning jog around his neighborhood on one weekend. On a quiet street, he began to feel weak. Suddenly, everything went black. Larry fell to the ground.
Less than a minute later, Tom Alguire passed by on his bicycle. He caught sight of a man lying on the roadside, so he jumped off his bike and ran over. He recognized Larry immediately, because he had been Larry’s doctor for nearly 20 years.
Dr. Tom felt for a pulse (脉搏) at first. Finding none, he began to give Larry first aid. It wouldn’t restart Larry’s heart, but it would keep the blood flowing until someone else arrived. Tom could only hope someone would come by soon, around six o’clock in the morning on a holiday weekend. Tom couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest to run for help — Larry’s brain cells would die without the blood. And Tom didn’t have a cell phone with him.
Soon, a car did drive by. But the driver ignored Tom’s appeal for help. What was he going to do? Tom was very worried. Finally, another car came down the road, driven by Michael Saliot, a U.S. Coast Guard Officer. Michael wasn’t one to pass up a chance to help a person in need. He quickly dialed 911.
Doctors then found that Larry had suffered a heart attack and there were severe blockages in two of Larry’s major arteries (动脉). Only the timely arrival of Dr. Tom saved his life.
How did Dr. Tom happen to be bicycling that morning, down that quiet street? It turned out that as Tom rode, his bike chain fell off. He spent about eight minutes fitting it back; otherwise, he would have seen nothing of Larry’s problem.
1.Doctor Tom gave Larry first aid in order to _____.
A.wake up Larry B.keep Larry’s blood flowing
C.restart Larry’s pulse D.stop Larry from bleeding
2.Why didn’t Tom call 911 for help?
A.He couldn’t stop pressing Larry’s chest.
B.He was waiting for someone else for help.
C.He was so nervous that he forgot to do it.
D.He didn’t take a cell phone with him.
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.Tom Alguire saw Larry when Larry fell to the ground.
B.Larry Ritsema went to work early on foot that morning.
C.Tom fitted his bike chain back after Larry was sent to hospital.
