A New World of Transportation (交通)
Cars and airplanes changed life in the 20th century. New changes in transportation are making life very
different in the 21st century, too. Trains and planes will be faster and more comfortable. Planes will also be bigger.
High-speed planes
Now high-speed planes travel from London to New York in 3 hours. They carry only 100 passengers. New
high-speed planes will be bigger and faster.
New large airplanes
Today the biggest planes carry about 400 passengers. Soon aircraft companies will build larger planes. These
new large planes will carry 600-800 passengers.
High-speed trains
Many people will take new, high-speed trains instead of planes. Today most trains can go 80 miles per hour
(130km/h). China’s high-speed trains can go 180 mph (280km/h). New high-speed trains will go more than 300
mph (480km/h). Germany, China and Japan will be the first countries to use these new high-speed trains.
How will life change with these faster planes and trains? People will be able to live in one city and work in
another city. Fast trains will also make cities grow. On high-speed trains people could travel from one end of the
city to the other in a very short time.
Transportation has changed from horses to cars, trains and planes. Now transportation is making our life more
comfortable and convenient. What more changes will the 21st century bring?
21. Today the biggest planes carry about ________.
A. 80 passengers B. 130 passengers C. 400 passengers D. 480 passengers
22. Germany, China and Japan will be the first countries to use new ________.

Generally, people would feel uncomfortable when there are young children sitting next to them on a plane, but
a man called Toddy regarded it as a chance to give a hand to a helpless mom. Jessica spoke about what Toddy had
done to make her travels with her children much easier.
She looked very worried when she boarded the plane. Her 4-month-old son was crying because of several
unexpected events. Her 3-year-old daughter, Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane lost her
excitement and began crying too. As Jessica tried to calm them down and help them stop crying, the man sitting
next to them stopped in to help.
He reached for the baby and held him while Jessica fastened Caroline’s seatbelt, got her iPad and started her
movie. Once Caroline was settled and a little bit calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed her
son. The kids were calm, but he didn’t stop there. Throughout the flight, he made the 3-year-old Caroline his best
friend.
Much to Jessica’s happiness, the man was taking the same connecting flight, too. He helped them get off the
plane and led them to the next gate, holding Caroline’s hand. As if that wasn’t enough, he changed his seat on the
next flight so he could sit in the same row to help them. He told Jessica his wife had had a similar experience when
their two boys were young and that a stranger had done the same thing, which moved him to spread the kindness.
The heartwarming story is a reminder to show kindness toward worried parents with young babies. Children
,
don’t yet know how to deal with their feelings so they cry and scream when they are confused or uncomfortable
in a new place. By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an upset parent but also make a child feel a little
more comfortable.
24. Jessica got worried while boarding the plane because ________.
A. she met several unexpected events B. she thought her daughter was too excited
C. her children lost control of their emotions D. her children were fighting with each other
25. What did Toddy do to draw Caroline’s attention away from her mom?
A. Starting her movie. B. Feeding her snacks.
C. Fastening her seatbelt. D. Playing games with her.
26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Parents are always treated kindly at the airport.
B. People should help parents with young children.
C. Children cry in order to attract people’s attention.
D. Children refuse to learn to manage their emotions.

Human, Don’t Come too Close
When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy
feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching
changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can probably slow their growth.
Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a
human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,”
Science Daily reported.
In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age
of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.
,
They found that as a response to the touch the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly
destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria
produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.
If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported
their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced
by up to 30 percent.”
Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the
plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.
According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones.
The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health
such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching. And the
research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert
reported.
28. Why did the scientists do the experiment?
A. To show that plants’ and animals’ genes are different.
B. To test whether touching can change the genes of plants.
C. To find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.
第7页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. To tell when touching has great effect on plants and animals.
29. What did the scientists find in their experiment?
A. Repeated touching would shorten the plants’ life by four weeks.
B. Mitochondria in the plants couldn’t produce energy because of touching.
C. Touching would probably slow plant growth by reducing energy for growth.
D. Repeated touching would make plants die sooner than they were expected to.
30. What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?
A. The plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.
B. The plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.
C. The plants will be less sensitive to being touched.
D. The plants will be better at fighting dangers.

A day is made up of hundreds of small decisions. I'll wear this; I'll buy this; I'll have this for lunch; I'll go there
at 3 o'clock; I'll reply to this e-mail.
For some people, it's not a big deal. For others, however, making decisions isn't easy. They agonize over
what to do, changing their minds back and forth. and second guessing themselves even after the decision has been
made.
Emily was in the restaurant with her husband. After several minutes of reading the menu , she said , "Um , let's
see. I don't know what to order. Maybe I'll have the burger; no wait, the pasta seems good. Or, maybe the soup and
salad. Don, what are you ordering? OK; that sounds good ; I'll have that too. " Don often gets annoyed (恼怒
的) .He doesn't understand why she finds the simplest decisions so difficult. He sometimes makes decisions for the
two of them. But Emily gets annoyed with him for being so controlling. "But we'd never decide anything if I left it
up to you," he argues.
Good decision-making is a skill that comes easily to some people, not so easily to others. Choices are
confusing. Choices can make you anxious. They can cost you peace of mind, even after you've made the decision.
The skill of good decision-making has become increasingly important. Why? Because we have a lot of choices,
both with the simple and the serious things in life.
Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. Accept that you can't have it all. You can't order
every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, things not experienced. Let the past be. Live in
the present where what you do today will make a difference.
It's often good to think through your decisions, but don't overdo it. More thinking is not always better thinking.
Too much research may lead to confusion. Sixth sense can help make decisions as good as careful study of endless

学科网（北京）股份有限公司data(数据) , sometimes even better.
Some decisions don't work out as expected ; this doesn't mean that you made a bad one. You decide to go on a
cruise (油轮旅行) . You choose a large and beautiful ship. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't
count on a bug that spread through the ship, making you and your family sick for five clays. You felt terrible for
making such a stupid decision. No. You did not make a stupid decision. It's just that sometimes the unexpected
happens.
Try to make your decision. After all, it's your special experience.
31. The words "agonize over" in Paragraph 2 probably mean" ".
A. think about a difficult decision carefully and with lots of effort
B. stick to the big decision that you have made
C. let go of the decision that you have made
D. fear to make decision out of uncertainty
32. The writer mentioned Emily and her husband in Paragraph 3 to .
A. criticize Emily's husband for controlling
B. show how annoying indecisiveness could be
C. introduce how hard it was to decide what to eat
D. explain the difficulty Emily had when making a decision
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We should think about all the possibilities before making a good decision.
B. Neither research nor data may help people with decision-making.
C. Sometimes unexpected situation may waste a good decision.
D. People feel terrible when making decisions.
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Do you have difficulty making decisions?
B. Are you good at making a difficult decision?
C. Can you make a right decision easily or not?
D. Would you like to make decisions for others?

学科网（北京）股份有限公司China has its first Nobel Prize in Science. And the winner, 84-year-old Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, also
became the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize.
She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William C. Campbell, an Irish-born researcher,
and Satoshi Omura of Japan. The three winners will share the prize of 8 million Swedish crowns ($920,000).
Half of the Prize was given to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their new treatment against illness
caused by roundworm parasites(寄生虫). Tu Youyou won the other half of the Prize for developing a medicine,
Artemisinin(青蒿素), which can help people fight malaria(疟疾). More than 240 million people in Africa have
benefited from the treatment, according to the WHO(World Health Organization), and more than 1.5 million lives
have been saved since 2000, thanks to the medicine.
Tu Youyou started her research in 1969 when she was chosen as the director of a government project to find
anti-malaria medicines. She and her workmates studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different
traditional treatments. They did nearly 200 experiments before they finally succeeded in getting the material
Qinghaosu, later known as Artemisinin, in the 1970s. This medicine became the standard treatment for malaria in
the WHO’s list of important medicines.
Premier Li Keqiang congratulated Tu for winning the Prize. He said, “Tu’s winning the prize shows China’s
progress in scientific and technological field and marks a great contribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) to human health.”
Although it’s a late honor for Tu and the world’s recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tu’s winning
the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine makes Chinese scientists encouraged and confident to achieve more
success in the future.
