14.The biggest danger facing airlines nowadays may not be a terrorist with a gun,but the man with portable computer in business class.In the last 16 years,pilots have reported well  over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference  (电磁干扰).The source of this interference remains not proved,but increasingly,experts are pointing the  blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers,radio and cassette players  and mobile telephones.
      RTC.A.an organization which advises the aviation  (航空 )industry,has suggested that all  airlines ban such devices from being used during"critical"stages of flight  particularly take-off and landing.Some experts have gone further,calling for a total ban during all flights.Cur-rently,rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines.And although some air-lines prevent passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing,most are un-willing to carry out a total ban,given that many passengers want to work during flight.
     The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers.Experts know that portable devices send out radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication.But,because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory.they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
     The fact that aircraft may be fragile to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment.As worrying,though,is the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music's too loud.
25.What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 16 years?D
A.They may have been caused by the damage to-the radio systems.
B.They may have taken place during take-off and landing.
C.They were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers.
D.They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.
26.Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane's computers?C
A.Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.
B.Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.
C.Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.
D.Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.
27.Few airlines want to perform a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices becauseB
A.they don't believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B.the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
C.most passengers refused to take a plane,which bans the use of radio and cassette players
D.they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
28.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.a new rule for all airlines
B.the disadvantages of electronic devices
C.a possible cause of aircraft incidents
D.effective safety measures for air flight.

2.There is no second chance…there is no chance of making mistakes."
 That's why Dr.Omer Mei-Dan and others who enjoyed base-jumping and wingsuit(翼装) flying were sad but not surprised by the recent deaths of three extreme sports enthusiasts.
Mark Sutton,the English parachutist(跳伞者),died on August 14 in Switzerland when he flew into a rocky ridge(山脊) in a wingsuit.Not even a week afterward,Mario Richard,a Canadian base-jumper,died in Italy during a wingsuit flight,when he"apparently failed to clear a rock by three meters."And most recently,Hungarian wingsuit flyer Victor Kovats died in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie on Oct.9 during a practice flight ahead of the World Championships.
According to Mei-Dan,six to seven percent of the 3,000 or so base-jumpers who use wingsuits or parachutes die each year-a huge number when you consider the most dangerous job in America,logging which has an annual death rate well under one percent of the workers.
Base-jumpers and wingsuit flyers are experienced.They have hundreds of practice before trying to fly from buildings,cliffs and towers.The same goes for those who drop from helicopters above mountains and valleys and then use their wingsuits to try to whiz by(飞速掠过) as close as possible to the rocks and ridges below.
Among the dangers,said Mei-Dan,is the temptation to"push the envelope":To try to get close to a rock wall,for example,than anyone else."When you push the envelope and you can not have any error at all,or you have to pay for it with your life."
So why do it?The experience of flying toward the ground in a wingsuit is almost indescribable."It's something that you really have to try to understand-what type of feeling you get when you're free falling next to a cliff,"Mei-Dan said.
41.What's the main idea of the first paragraph?D
A.Trying wingsuit flying once is enough.
B.Wingsuit flying is always easy to do.
C.Wingsuit flying lasts only a short time.
D.Even a single mistake in wingsuit flying is disastrous.
42.How did other flyers react to the recent deaths of their fellows?D
A.They thought the deaths could have been avoided.
B.They felt the need of reconsidering the safety of wingsuit flying.
C.They were sad and were in deep sorrow.
D.They felt sad but did not find the deaths surprising.
43.What does the third paragraph tell us?A
A.How the three wingsuit flyers died
B.Why wingsuit flying is so dangerous.
C.Where wingsuit flying is most dangerous
D.What a wingsuit flyer's career is like.
44.What does the underlined phrase"push the envelope"mean?D
A.To attempt to push further in a wingsuit.
B.To risk moving the envelope away.
C.To be determined to give up on oneself.
D.To try to go beyond the normal limits of something.
45.The extreme sports enthusiasts like wingsuit flying because theyC.
A.want to know what it feels like           
B.wish to describe the experience
C.enjoy the wonderful experience        
D.devote themselves to scientific research.

19.Last spring my husband,Lawrence,and I agreed that it was time for us to move.Although we adoredour home in the northern district of New York,all our children and grandchildren had moved to the West Coast.We needed to be near them.
     But We didn't want to sell our house to just any buyer.We had three requirements in mind.The first was to find someone who loved our place as much as we did-after all,We'd lived there for more than thirty years.The second was to find a buyer who would share our faith and not bargain with us over the price of me home.And lastly,since moving rates dropped in the fall,we didn't want to move until mid-October.
    In this market I found out there was little hope that We'd sell our place,let alone find that perfect buyer,but still,I hoped for all three things.Weeks went by with no takers.Finally our real estate(房地产)agent phoned in August."I've found someone who's indeed in love with your house.She's made a good offer."He brought over some papers to sign and I made a note of the woman's name.
     Days later I was looking up a friend's phone number in our church directory(电话薄),running my finger down the long list of members.Suddenly I came across her name.Our buyer!"She loves our home and she's even a member of our church,"I said to Lawrence."This could be perfect."
     I practically held my breath for the next few days,the calls going back and forth to our agent.Finally he came by with the papers to sign.Pen in hand,he hesitated.
"This buyer has just one more requirement,"he said.

6.阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
Once upon a time in a land far away,there was a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals,spiders,insects…
One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later,a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly,so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then came out with ease.
But it had a swollen body and small,shriveled(萎缩的)wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body.Neither happened!In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to fly.
What the kind-hearted man did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid(液体)from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any hardships,it would fail us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

A kind man cut a cocoon open in order to lessen the pain of a butterfly when he saw it struggling out of the cocoon,only to find that it could never fly because of his help.
The story sets me thinking.Our life is more or less like this.Sometimes,struggles or obstacles in our life are a must for our growth.It is these struggles or obstacles that increase our willpower and contribute to our success.Without these trials,we could never achieve our life goal just as the butterfly did in the story.
Nowadays,with only one child in most families,parents do whatever they can to satisfy the child's needs and even do for him what should be done by himself.Consequently,the child is unable to look after himself without his parents'presence.Too much care from parents deprives children of chances to grow strong by conquering obstacles.
  If I were a parent,I would first keep him well informed that life is never easy and that he should be ready to face any difficulties.Besides,I would expose him to the hardships in life instead of protecting him from difficulties,providing them with chances to fight for his bright future by conquering challenges..
