11、 cars to reality very soon.Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawks flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pil

12、ots license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,0

13、00 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas,

14、US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.Ri

15、ders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to av

19、ernoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is w

20、hat makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many

21、 parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and

22、 therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, h

23、owever, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have

24、 enough time, try a short napeven ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.1、Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?AThey eat too much for lunch.BThey sleep too little at night.CTheir body temperature becomes lower.DThe weather becomes a lot warmer.2、If you get up at 6:30

25、am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?AAbout 12:30 pm.BAbout 1:30 pm.CAbout 2:30 pm.DAbout 3:30 pm.3、What would be the best title for the text?AJust for a RestBAll for a NapCA Special Sleep Pattern.DTaking Naps in Warmer Climate.23（8分） It was 2012, and somewhere on a cassava (木暑)and banana

26、 farm in rural Tanzania, there were four of us standing in a circle: me, two farmers named Joyce and Elijah, and the former secretary general of the United Nations，Kofi Annan.Elijah and Joyce did most of the talking. They told us how this farm was unlike any they had worked on; how there were improv

27、ed crop varieties and new tools to process the harvest. There was even a daycare centre near the farm. This way, women could spend more time selling what they grew* I rattled off (不假思索地說(shuō)出)some questions. Do you sell your cassava only here一or do you ship it somewhere else? How far is the market? Have

28、 you seen a difference in your yields? Kofi, though, mostly listened.Later, after we left the fields and walked towards the daycare centre where there was a bigger crowd, Kofi started talking. He was telling jokes, trying to put everyone at ease, and doing a very good job of it. The man had the deep

29、est, most infectious laugh Ive ever heard and an incredibly commanding voice. He sounded like an actor playing himself.Kofi and I had attended a lot of the same UN events, and hed visited our foundations offices in Seattle a few times, so Id seen him charm a room before. But this day on the cassava

30、farm was different. He was completely at home here. I suppose I shouldnt have been surprised: Kofi Annan, of all the world leaders I had met, had spent the most time thinking about how to help places like this farm and people like Joyce and Elijah.When my husband Bill and I started our foundation in

31、 2000，we still had so many questions about the best ways to fight poverty and disease, and Kofi, it seemed, already had the answers. That year, hed written a manifesto (宣目)about the UNs role in the 21st century. In its final pages, hed included a set of targets around poverty and disease reduction t

32、hat he wanted the world to achieve by 2015. These became known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and at first, critics dismissed them immediately. Cut extreme poverty in half? Stop the spread of HIV, malaria and TB, the three greatest killers in poor countries? At best, it was overly optimi

33、stic.Kofi wasnt satisfied with just setting the goals, though. He wanted to push the world to achieve them. No other secretary general was so able to connect the UNs heart with its brain, its mission to lift up the sick and the poor with an effective plan for doing so. He was a master，too, at bringi

34、ng world leaders along for the ride.Today, there are 27 million people alive who would have otherwise died from HIV-related illness, TB or malaria And they live, in large part, because Kofi gathered the world to establish the Global Fund, which pays for medicines and things that prevent those diseas

35、es from spreading, such as mosquito nets. The world met its goal of halving the global poverty rate by 2015; in fact, it did so five years ahead of schedule, in 2010. “Development experts，” one observer wrote, “are still rubbing their eyes.When he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001，Kofi said tha

36、t “todays real borders are not between nations, but between the powerful and powerless”. He saw Africas small farmers as part of the latter camp and wanted to give them a way to lift themselves out of poverty. This was what led us to that cassava farm back in 2012.I remember that after our visit tha

37、t day, Kofi thanked me for the foundations work. He was generous in his praise，and then he gave me a nickname. “Mama Melinda， he called me.It was a term of respect, typically given to an elder, and I felt honored but surprised. Mama Melinda? If there was one person who deserved such an honour, I tho

38、ught it wasnt me.1、Kofi Annans inspection of the farm is mentioned to .Aintroduce the carefree lifestyle of African peopleBillustrate his close relationship with African farmersCemphasize the gravity of poverty in African countriesDshow his concern for the poverty-relief work in Africa2、We can know

39、from the passage that the MDG .Afailed to win support from leaders of the worldBwas too ambitious and optimistic to be successfulCfocused more on the goals than effective measuresDrevealed Kofi s extraordinary wisdom and capability3、What can we infer from the underlined part in Para.7?AIt was hard t

40、o see where the hope lay.BThe success of the MDG was unbelievable .CThe development experts were moved to tears.DThe long-term commitment made people sleepy.4、We can learn from Kofis words in Para.8 that .Athe powerful people rule over the powerless massesBthe powerful nations often occupy their pow

41、erless neighborsCthe gap between the rich and the poor separates the world apartDthe rich and the poor countries should compromise on border issues5、Which of the following can be used to describe Kofi Annan?ACharming, aggressive and stubborn.BAmbitious, easy-going and dutiful.CConservative, humorous

42、 and positive.DBureaucratic, sympathetic and generous.6、Whats the best title for the passage?AMama Melinda: a nickname with great honour.BThe UN: an organization full of different voices.CAfrica: a land blessed with considerable opportunities.DKofi Annan: a statesman devoted to global development.24

43、（8分） Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary (遺傳的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mices genes are so similar to humans, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.Scientists at the University of Californi

44、a, Davis studied information from a data bank of mices genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe t

45、hese hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the pas

46、t, we knew the problem was there but we didnt know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones res

47、ulting from the babys parents!Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blin

48、dness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in

52、 year in November, I receive a flurry of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.However, as an official who still w

53、orks in the nonprofit sector, I also feel deeply anxious because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these critical programs that provide food access to residents in need are starving for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary par

54、t to ensure that programs are able to serve the community.At Food For Free, we rely on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home

56、olunteers dont show up in your social media feeds, they dont win awards and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too.If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these or
