Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I mov

I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shoot

14、ing towards the buffet from the other direction.Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the same moment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same t

19、Blue Eye of the Sahara is a geological formation in the Sahara Desert that resembles an enormous bullseye. The formation stretches across a 40-kilometer-wide region of the desert in the nation of Mauritania.For centuries, only a few local tribes knew about the formation. It was first photographed in

20、 the 1960s by astronauts who used it as a landmark to track the progress of their landing. Later, the Landsat satellite took additional images and provided information about the size, height, and extent of the formation.Geologists originally believed that Eye of the Sahara was created when an object

21、 from outer space crashed into the surface. However, lengthy studies of the rocks inside the structure show that its origins are entirely Earth-based, as the formation contains rocks that are at least 100 million years old; some date back to well before the appearance of life on Earth.Millions of ye

22、ars ago, volcanic activity from deep beneath Earths surface lifted the entire landscape around the Eye. After the volcanism died down, wind and water erosion( 侵蚀) began to eat away at the layers of rock. After years of erosion, the region began to settle down and fall in on itself, creating the roug

23、hly circular “eye” feature.The Eye of the Sahara attracts both tourists and geologists to study the unique geological feature in person. However, because the Eye is located in a remote region of the desert with very little water or rainfall, it is not under much threat from humans.That leaves the Ey

24、e at the mercy of nature. The ongoing effects of erosion threaten the landscape, just as they do other places on the planet. Desert winds may well bring more dunes(沙丘) to the region, particularly as climate change causes increased desertification in the area. Its quite possible that, in the distant

25、future, the Eye of the Sahara will be buried under sand and dust. Future travelers may find only a windswept desert burying one of the most striking geological features on the planet.8What do we know about the Blue Eye of the Sahara?AIt has been known for centuries.BIt was created by objects from ou

26、ter space.CIt was useful to astronauts in the 1960s.DIt was first photographed by a satellite.9Which factor directly contributes to its circular “eye” feature?AVolcanic activity.BClimate change.CWind and water erosion.DDesertification.10Which best describe the future of the Eye of the Sahara accordi

27、ng to the text?ADesirable.BSecure.CUncertain.DWorrying.11What is the text mainly about?AWhat is the Eye of the Sahara?BWhy is the Eye of the Sahara in Danger?CWhy Is the Eye of the Sahara Popular?DHow Can We Save the Eye of the Sahara?Drone delivery technology is making huge progress this year as de

28、livery company Zipline announces its latest device that it has been working on since 2014.The device, known as the Platform 2 (P2) system, could cut delivery times in half and potentially be a new life-saving asset for delivering medical supplies, prescriptions and food.The build of the P2 Zip consi

29、sts of a droid (机器人), which is essentially a streamlined box with a hidden propeller (螺旋桨) at the rear. A person sending out a delivery will put the package within the droid, which will then be placed inside the belly of one of Ziplines P2 Zip drones.Once the P2 Zip takes off, it flies at a height o

30、f approximately 300 feet in the air. The drone can carry up to eight pounds at a time and can travel as far as an out-and-back service distance of 10 miles. Once the drone reaches its destination, a second droid is lowered and uses sensor cameras to detect where to land the package. The recipient of

31、 the package can then open the droid to retrieve the package, and the droid is then lifted back up into the drone to continue on its journey back to either charge itself or retrieve another order.One of the best benefits of this new invention is that it will make delivering packages locally a lot qu

32、icker. The drone cannot make long journeys; however, it can certainly make it from your local grocery store to your house and back without an issue.This could also be a potentially life-saving invention as the company will be cooperating with hospitals and other health care facilities Michigan Medic

33、ine and Salt Lake Citys Intermountain Health already plan on using it to deliver prescriptions. It will also be used by some companies to deliver blood and vaccines to remote areas. At the same time, companies like Sweetgreen have also signed on to use the service to deliver food to customers homes.

34、Zipline hopes to have the P2 Zip working and in service in just about a year. The only downside I can imagine is that many other tech companies are working fast to make drone delivery happen, and we may have an issue of drone traffic in the sky before we know it. Until then, well have to see what pl

35、ans these companies have to limit that issue.12What is the P2 Zip according to the text?AA delivery company.BA streamlined box.CA delivery device.DAn operational system.13What is paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe working process of the device.BThe advantages of the device.CThe significance of the device

36、.DThe design of the device.14Which of the following can be inferred about the new invention?AIt makes it easy to deliver packages across the country.BIt has been used to deliver prescriptions by hospitals.CIt is originally designed to save peoples lives.DIt will still be some time before it comes in

37、to use.15Which word best describes the authors attitude to the invention?AWorried.BHopeful.CDoubtful.DIndifferent.二、七选五About five days ago, my back started tightening in the middle region. A couple of days ago, I was trapped in my bed, unable to move. 16 So here I was, determined to make an appointm

38、ent at an Eastern medicine school for my first experience getting acupuncture.It was a wonderful experience. The room looked no different from a Western medicine examination room. 17 However, it differed from Western medicine in the way they sought to treat me. 18 I was asked about things in my enti

39、re life, from my sleep patterns to my physical processes, to current life stressors. Then the medical student discussed a plan with the doctor. They came back, asked me to lie on my stomach, and started placing the needles. The needles didnt hurt. I could barely feel their presence.After they placed

40、 the needles, the doctor asked me how I felt. I told her I couldnt feel any pain. 19 So they left me in the room with a heat lamp for about twenty minutes. This “baking” time was amazing. It was subtle, but strong. 20 When the appointment was over, I felt super relaxed, almost drunk. I would highly

41、recommend this treatment option for anybody who thinks they may benefit.AThe mysterious ancient healing art of acupuncture was amazing.BChinese medicine tend to regard the patients symptoms as a whole.CI hated the looks from my doctor for symptoms that Western technology cant handle perfectly.DI fel

42、t like I was in an altered state of relaxation, a different dimension, even.EThe doctor told me to be patient and wait for the needles to take effect.FI sat down and discussed my symptoms with the medical student.GThis actually indicated that I was responding well to the treatment.三、完形填空It is always
