Do flying cars only exist in dreams of a far-off future? Well, the future may be closer than you

think. Let‟s take a look at some modes of transport that we could be using in the future.

Flying taxi

Slovakian engineering company AeroMobil has designed the world‟s first 4-seater flying taxi.

AeroMobil‟s AM Next is a hybrid(混合物) —half supercar, half lightweight aircraft. It‟s able to

transform between the two modes of transport in fewer than 3 minutes as its wings move into the

appropriate positions. It is expected to be released in 2027 and will be able to fly a distance of up to

500 miles (about 800 kilometers) between major cities.

Gyroscopic transport

Gyroscopic transport is a revolutionary new mode of transport that is being planned. It is the

use of large pods supported by flexible legs that transport passengers over existing roads. These legs

can adjust their length according to traffic demands and to allow passengers to board. One of the

best elements of this mode of transport is that it can operate over existing infrastructure(基础设施) .

Hyperloop

Hyperloop has created a lot of excitement recently and received backing from many influential

people in the tech world. Elon Musk, CEO of Space X, is one of the main advocates of the

hyperloop. He has argued it could ease traffic in Los Angeles, US. The hyperloop is a high-speed

public transportation system in which passengers travel in autonomous electric pods at about 965

kilometers per hour. Virgin Hyperloop, a US transport technology company, conducted its first

human trials of a hyperloop system in November 2020.

21. What do we know about AeroMobil‟s AM Next?

A. It will be the world‟s first flying car.

B. It could be in use in just 2 years‟ time.

C. It can fly a maximum of 800 miles each trip.

D. It can switch between modes within 3 minutes.

22. What is an advantage of gyroscopic transport?

A. It can travel either above or below ground.

B. It can travel independent of traffic flow on the roads.

C. It‟s quicker and cheaper to build than other vehicles.

D. It can hold more passengers than other forms of transport.

23. What is Elon Musk‟s attitude toward the hyperloop?

A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Critical. D. Positive.

Timothy is a 5-year-old boy with autism(自闭症). In October of 2018, doctors told his parents that

he suffered brain tumor(肿瘤).

Two thieves who specialized in stealing packages from people‟s front gates had no idea that one of

those packages contained a WWE wrestling belt belonging to Timothy. At the time, the belt was on the

front gate of Sergio Moriers‟s house, whose job was decorating stuff. “Timothy‟s father doesn‟t make a

lot of money. But he wanted to give his son an amazing gift, and I told him I would do everything for

free. I said, „Just ship it over and I‟ll do everything you want on the belt, and he‟ll have the belt of a

lifetime.‟ He said.

When the belt was taken, Sergio was extremely disturbed, “I want them to know they took hope

from a 5-year-old boy who is looking forward to that item coming back to him… You stole that from

him. You broke a child‟s heart.” Timothy‟s father shared what that belt meant to his son, “Timothy

would not go anywhere without that belt… Most kids have balls, while he had a belt.” All hope was

lost.

Then something unexpected happened. “I saw two women appeared at the gate. They put down the

bag there. My guard went over and I realized what was happening. That bag contained the stolen

wrestling belt,” Sergio said. The two women apologized to Sergio. They said that they were thrown out

of a friend‟s apartment after the friend saw the news report of the theft on TV. In fact, they were trying to

kick a drug habit. They cried with guilt and shame.

Seeing the returned belt, Timothy‟s father said, “It‟s one of those things you always hear about,

those crazy stories about people, but you never think it‟ll happen to yourself. I‟m still taken aback, to be

honest.”

24. What was Sergio‟s original intention?

A To buy the boy a wonderful gift. B. To beautify the boy‟s belt for free.

C. To help the boy win a competition. D. To earn money from decorating the belt.

25. What can be known about the thieves?

A. They were addicted to drug. B. They were caught by the police.

C. Their friend reported them on TV. D. They were punished by the guard.

26. What did Timothy‟s father mean at the end of the story?

A. He was annoyed about crazy stories. B. He felt he was cheated by the thieves.

C. He was astonished at the returned belt. D. He couldn‟t believe his stuff was stolen.

27. What is the best title for the text?

A. A Sick Boy Wins a Wrestling Belt B. Caring People Show Love for a Kid

C. An Immoral Act of Theft Is Revealed D. Thieves Return Wrestling Belt to the Sick Boy

A 2020 study in the journal Science concluded that marine heat waves have increased more

than 20-fold(倍) as a result of climate warming. The authors found that in the first decade after

satellites began recording ocean temperatures (i.e., after 1981), there were 27 large marine heat

waves, with an average duration of 32 days and an average peak temperature anomaly(反常现象) of

8.5°F; in the 2010s, there were 172, which lasted 48 days on average with an average peak

temperature almost 10°F above normal.

Much remains unclear about marine heat waves. For example, explains Nicholas Bond,

research scientist at the University of Washington and Washington‟s state climatologist, there is the

question of why so many persist for weeks or months. “There must be something else going on that

helps maintain them,” he says. He notes that one explanation is that as the ocean surface warms, it

radiates heat into the atmosphere that prevents cloud cover from forming, exposing the seawater to

increased sunlight and further warming.

However, enough is known about marine heat waves for scientists to be gravely concerned

about their potential impacts. Of special note is the fact that those impacts can last long after the heat

waves have disappeared. After three years of the Blob, the waters of the northeastern Pacific began

to cool in 2016; but years later, scientists are still determining the extent to which the region‟s

ecosystem is likely to return fully to its pre-Blob status. Similarly, notes Scannell, who is a data

scientist with Jupiter Intelligence, Inc., following the 2010-11 Western Australia event, “lots of

kelp(巨藻) forests died, and it takes literally decades for those ecosystems to bounce back”.

Eric Oliver, a scientist from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, expressed his own

opinion about the potential impact of the heat waves in tropical waters. “I think that‟s really a tough

issue,” he says. Life in the tropics, he notes, is adapted to “quite a narrow range of temperatures. So

that‟s where things can get really messy. We can have complete shifts in tropical systems.”

28. What can we infer from the figures listed in para. 1?

A. The problem of marine heat waves is becoming worse.

B. The satellites enable scientists to record ocean temperature precisely.

C. Climate change is the main cause of the marine heat waves.

D. Marine heat waves have been found by scientists for about 30 years.

29. What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Various factors that lead to marine heat waves.

B. The possible impacts of a warm ocean surface.

C. The possible reason why marine heat waves last long.

D. Scientists‟ efforts in exploring the causes of heat waves.

30. What do we know about the impact of the marine heat waves?

The impact will disappear shortly after the sea water cools.

B. It takes long before the ecosystem makes a complete recovery.

C. Scientists have known enough to restore the impact.

D. The northeastern Pacific and Western Australia are the worst cases.

31. What is Eric Oliver‟s attitude towards the heat waves in tropic waters?

A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.

People‟s ability to remember fades with age — but one day, researchers might be able to use a

simple, drug-free method to buck this trend.

In a study published on 22 August in Nature Neuroscience, Robert Reinhart, a cognitive

neuroscientist at Boston University in Massachusetts, and his colleagues demonstrate that zapping(刺

激) the brains of adults aged over 65 with weak electrical currents repeatedly over several days led to

memory improvements that persisted for up to a month.

Using a non-invasive method of stimulating the brain known as transcranial alternating current

stimulation (TACS), which delivers electrical currents through electrodes(电极) on the surface of the

scalp(头皮), Reinhart‟s team conducted a series of experiments on 150 people aged between 65 and 88.

Participants carried out a memory task in which they were asked to recall lists of 20 words that were

read aloud by an experimenter. The participants underwent TACS for the entire duration of the task,

which took 20 minutes.

After four continuous days of this protocol(医疗方案), participants who received high-frequency

stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(背外侧前额叶皮质) had an improved ability to

remember words from the beginning of the lists, a task that depends on long-term memory.

Low-frequency zaps to the inferior parietal lobe(顶下小叶) enhanced participants‟ recall of items later

in the lists, which involves „working‟ memory — the memory that allows the brain to store information

temporarily. Participants‟ memory performance improved over the four days — and the gains persisted

even a month later. Those who had the lowest levels of general cognitive function before the study

experienced the largest memory improvements.

“I was both impressed and surprised by this, by this paper,” says Simon Hanslmayr, a cognitive

neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow, UK. He notes that along with other scientists, he has been

sceptical about whether TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition. One issue has been that

TACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than those created by other methods of

stimulating the brain, so it hasn‟t always been clear whether they can transmit enough electricity to the

brain to modify its function. However, the authors of this study convincingly showed that their protocol

was linked to “consistent and quite strong improvements in memory”, Hanslmayr says.

32. What does the underlined word “buck” mean in paragraph 1?

A. Operate. B. Destroy. C. Follow. D. Resist.

33. What can we learn about the experiments?

A. The experiments involved people aged over 65 and young students with good memory.

B. Participants were required to recall lists of 20 words when they read the words aloud.

C. Stimulating the inferior parietal lobe with low-frequency boosted the short-term memory.

D.High-frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improved „working‟ memory.

34. Why has Simon Hanslmayr been skeptical about TACS?

A. The electricity sent by TACS is not sufficient to guarantee meaningful changes in cognition.

B. The people who have poor cognitive function experienced the least memory improvements.

C. TACS devices generate electrical currents as weak as those created by other methods.

D. TACS devices cannot ensure consistent and quite strong improvements in memory.
