Many people have long dreamed of
being able to fly around as simply as riding a
bicycle. Yet
the
safety
and
strength
of
a
flying
bike
was
always
a
big
problem.
Over
the
past
10
years,
developments in
technology have moved the dream of personal flying
vehicles closer to reality.
Now, two
groups of inventors say such vehicles may be
available soon.
The
British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a
prototype (
原型
) of its flying
bicycle.
Grant Stapleton, marketing
sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the
Hoverbike is able to get
in and out of
small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across
continents very quickly because it
can
be folded and packed, he adds.
Mr. Stapleton says safety was the
company's main concern. He says the designers
solved the
safety issue by using
overlapping rotors (
交叠式旋翼
)to power the vehicle.
The company is testing a full-size prototype of
the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used
first by the police and emergency
rescue teams.
In New
Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also
testing a full-size prototype of its personal
flying device, called the Jetpack. It
can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000
meters high and
reach a speed of 74
kilometers per hour.
Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin
Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built
around safety
from the start. In his
words, reliability is the most important element
of it. We have safety built
into the
actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula
O
ne racing car.”
The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that
produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker
says it also has a parachute
(
降落伞
) that can be used
should there be an emergency. “
It
starts to
work at very low altitude and
actually saves bo
th the aircraft and
the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker
says the
Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.

very
low
altitude
….,
Coker
先生说
Jetpack
上也有降落伞，可以在紧急情况下使用。
“
在海拔非常低的情况下开始用它
…”
。由

Bamboo is one of the world's most
useful plants. For thousands of years, bamboo has
been
used in many different ways-from
food to medicine to clothing and, in small ways,
as a building
material.
However, bamboo is not often used
as a building material in the developed world. A
professor
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
in
Pennsylvania
is
trying
to
change
that.
The
professor
and
his
students are testing the strength of
are testing how much pressure or weight it can
take before breaking.
Kent Harries is a professor at the
University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that
testing methods for
bamboo need to be
the same for all. They need to be standardized.
Standardizing test methods
for bamboo
will help to bring the plant into common use. It
will also give engineers and builders
around the world a dependable
standard.
Harries says
that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of
at least three species of bamboo
is
similar
to
s
its
strength,
bamboo
has
other
features
that
make
it
very
useful
in
building. He says it is
resilient(
有弹力的
), meaning it
keeps its shape and strength even under
pressure.
Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable
for construction needs much less resources
than
wood.
The
harvest
cycle
of
bamboo
is
about
3
years.
Softwoods
such
as
cedar,
pine
and
spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10
years. And hardwoods that come from flowering
plants
such as oak and walnut need more
than 30 years.
Bamboo is
widely used as food for panda bears. It is also
used for flooring and window covers.
However, for building, bamboo is not
used much outside its native growing area. This is
mostly
because
of
its
round
shape.
But
there
are
other
reasons
too.
People
think
--
or
have
the
mentality--that bamboo
is a low quality building material.

What
is the author mainly talking about in the passage?
A. Make bamboo a common
building material.
B. Take
advantage of bamboo in our everyday.
C. Consider bamboo to be a common
plant.
D. Use bamboo to replace
building materials.
（

）
What is the purpose of
what Kent Harries and his students did?
A. To prove what is the
most useful plant.
B. To
introduce bamboo to the developed
world.
C. To give engineers
and builders some advice.
D. To
make sure of the strength of bamboo.
（

What
does Harries think of bamboo in the passage?
A. Harries sees bamboo as a
great building material.
B.
Harries thinks bamboo is as strong as
steel.
C. Harries

bamboo
as
the
most

阅读理解
A bite from a tsetse
fly
(
采采蝇
)
is an extremely unpleasant experience. It is not
like a mosquito,
which can put its thin
mouthpart directly into your blood, often without
you noticing. In contrast,
the tsetse
fly's mouth has tiny saws on it that saw into your
skin on its way to suck out your blood.
To make matters worse, several
species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases. One
of the most
dangerous is a parasite
that causes
＂
sleeping
sickness
＂
, or
＂
human African
trypanosomiasis
＂
to give it
its official name. Without treatment, an infection
is usually fatal.
Like
so
many
tropical
diseases,
sleeping
sickness
has
often
been
neglected
by
medical
researchers.
However, researchers have long endeavored to
understand how it avoids our bodies'
defence
mechanisms.
Some
of
their
insights
could
now
help
us
eliminate
sleeping
sickness
altogether.
There are two closely-related single-celled
parasites that cause this deathly sleep:
Trypanosoma
brucei rhodesiense and T.
b. gambiense. The latter is far more common: it is
responsible for up to
95%
of
cases,
mostly
in
western
Africa.
It
takes
several
years
to
kill
a
person,
while
T.
brucei
rhodesiense can cause death within
months. There are still other forms that infect
livestock.
After the
initial bite, sleeping sickness symptoms often
start with a fever, headaches and aching
muscles. As the illness goes on, those
infected become increasingly tired, which is where
it gets
its name. Personality changes,
severe confusion and poor coordination can also
happen.
While
medication
does
help,
some
treatments
are
toxic
and
can
themselves
be
deadly,
especially if they
are given after the disease has reached the
brain.
It is worth
noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as
deadly as it once was. In the early 20th
Century several hundred thousand people
were infected each year. By the 1960s the disease
was
considered
＂
under
control
＂
and
had
reached
very
low
numbers,
making
its
spread
more
difficult. But in the
1970s there was another major epidemic, which took
20 years to control.
Since then, better screening programmes and
earlier interventions have reduced the number
of cases dramatically. In 2009 there
were fewer than 10,000 cases for the first time
since records
began, and in 2015 this
figure dropped to fewer than 3,000, according to
the latest figures from
the
World
Health
Organisation.
The
WHO
hopes
the
disease
will
be
completely
eliminated
by
2020.
While this decline looks positive,
there may be many more cases that go unreported in
rural
Africa. To eliminate the disease
completely, infections have to be closely
monitored.
More
problematically,
a
series
of
new
studies
have
shown
that
the
parasite
is
more
complicated than previously
believed.
Sleeping
sickness
has
always
been
considered
——
and
diagnosed
——
as
a
blood
disease,
because T. brucei parasites can readily
be detected in the blood of its
victims.

C. it

A Song of Ice and Fire
is a seven-part series of fantasy
written for adults. George R. R. Martin
writes each chapter from the
perspective of a specific character, providing a
limited point of view
for each section.
The reader is able to understand the inner
workings of the individual, but the
reader is barred from a whole
understanding of the text. The world he has
created has magic, but
there is much
more than that. While magic exists, it exists on
the edge, and the inner unrest of
the
characters is much more important.
His
work
also
has
a
level
of
realness
that
is
astonishing
in
a
work
of
fantasy.
Characters
are
imperfect, and many make questionable
moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows
that
both good and bad happen to both
the people of high moral standard and the corrupt.
He has
made it clear that any character
can die at any point, which has led to a lot of
heartbreak from
readers.
In 2011,
A Song of Ice
and Fire
became a television series
titled
Game of Thrones
.
Martin has
been
closely
involved
with the
production.
It
has
currently
run
for
seven
seasons, and
viewers
anxiously await the eighth season to
answer their questions from the season seven
finale.
His fans are
also waiting for
The Winds of Winter
and A Dream of Spring,
the next books
in the
series, to answer the questions
Martin and the television show have not yet
addressed. Martin,
however, has no
plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will
continue to write the books while
working on the television show and
writing other novels.
But how will the story continue? What is going to
happen in Westeros, and more importantly:
when are we going to find out? Martinis
skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers
spellbound.
Many hope he will finish
the next book before the next season of the show
begins, but no one
knows with Martin.
He always keeps his readers guessing.
