I am a paraglider pilot and my name is Deirdre Veneracion. I’ve been paragliding since I was 11.

My dad and I arrive at our local fly site on a June morning. We meet our instructor and spend the first 20 minutes watching the wind cycles. I go through my pre-flight steps and turn on my radio. At last, I take a step and feel the ground under me fall away. I feel the pressure of my weight on the canopy (伞衣).

After 15 minutes of playing with the wind, my father radios me from the place where he is about to take off. “How is the wind?” “Perfect!” I say. Dad takes off behind me.

I have done almost 100 flights and yet every flight amazes me just as much or even more than my first. I love the unpredictability of each flight. Every flight is different. After 15 minutes, I decide to land.

Now, I’m over a rice field. It is a much smaller landing than most landing zones but it’s possible. Out of nowhere, I feel my canopy become unstable (不稳定的). It loses pressure and falls directly in front of me. I am falling. I have butterflies in my stomach. I pull my brake (制动器) line, in the hope that my wing will get pressure again but it doesn’t. I look towards my dad and see that he is also in trouble. It’s as if we were inside a washing machine being thrown up and down. I won’t make it to the landing zone in front of me. To my right is a narrow (狭窄的) stream with hardly any water in it. I make my decision: the narrow stream is my best chance of landing safely.

As I touch down, I check on my dad and am glad to hear that he is fine. Local villagers come to check on me but, surprisingly, I am uninjured.

This is one of those times when we are reminded that no preparation can prevent Mother Nature from surprising us.

24. What does the author do before taking off?

A. She has a talk with her father.              B. She gives instructions.

C. She turns off the radio.                    D. She watches the weather.

25. What does the attraction of paragliding lie in the author’s eyes?

A. The pleasant wind.                       B. The uncertainty of each flight.

C. The excitement of landing.                 D. The success of each flight.

26. What kind of feeling does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably show?

A. Anger.        B. Happiness.          C. Nervousness.         D. Luck.

27. What happens in the process of the author’s landing?

A. She hurts herself.                      B. She changes her mind about the landing site.

C. She sees a washing machine below.        D. She asks her dad for help.

C

Japan is beginning to experiment with self-driving buses in rural (乡村的) communities, such as the town of Nishikata, where the elderly are living a hard life because of fewer bus and taxi services as the population ages and becomes smaller.

The advance of the self-driving technology is making cities such as Paris and Singapore 

 experiment with such services, which could prove important in Japan, where populations are not only graying, but becoming smaller, in rural areas.

Japan could start the self-driving services for communities that are far from cities by 2020, if the experiments begun this month prove successful.

The government plans to turn highway rest stops into centers from which to drive the elderly to medical and banking services.

“Smaller towns in Japan are graying even faster than cities, and there are just not enough workers to drive buses and taxis,” said Hiroshi Nakajima of mobile gaming software maker DeNA Co.

In the initial (最初的) experiments, the elderly of Nishikata were sent from a service area to some organizations providing healthcare services.

“I worry about not being able to go out when I’m no longer able to drive,” said one test rider, Shizu Yuzawa, adding that she would be open to using such services.

The test also checked the vehicle’s safety in road conditions, and if those crossing its path would react to the warning it gives.

The ride, at a speed of about 10 kilometers per hour, felt comfortable and safe, said test taker Mieko Shimazaki, 71, but her 72-year-old husband, Susumu, said, “Self-driving cars could be useful in the future, but I’d like to see them go faster, at least at 40 kilometers per hour.”

28. Why are driverless buses appearing in Nishikata?

A. Nobody there can drive a bus.             B. People there can hardly afford cars.

C. People there welcome new things.          D. Its population is aging and falling.

29. What does the government plan to do?

A. Provide healthcare services.                B. Set up centers for picking up passengers.

C. Produce more and more driverless cars.       D. Train more bus and taxi drivers.

30. What was Shizu Yuzawa’s attitude toward the self-driving services?

A. She was uncertain about them.          B. She was doubtful about them.

C. She was in favor of them.              D. She was strongly against them.

31. Which of the following about self-driving buses did Susumu think could improve?

A. Their speed.        B. Their safety.      C. Their space.    D. Their price.

D

These days, it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets. Rather than depend on another pre-existing (已存在的) planet, could we make a new, proper planet ourselves?

To start with, if we’d want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone, meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly, liquid water.

We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our Earth is made up of many different elements (元素). If we made our own new planet, we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure (结构). We’d also want enough water to form some oceans.

But even if we get all of the materials, creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.

We would probably also need a lot of food, since there’s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!

According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0.83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging (包装) material. Without the weight of the packaging material, we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.

Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time.

32. What’s the first thing we should do if we want to create a new planet?

A. To prepare enough food.                    B. To design its inner structure.

C. To find a proper place to set the planet.        D. To collect materials similar to our Earth.

33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Our Earth.                             B. Outer space.

C. The new planet.                         D. The ocean water.

34. How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal?

A. About 0.12 kilograms.                   B. About 0.71 kilograms.

C. About 0.83 kilograms.                   D. About 0.95 kilograms.

35. What does the author think of creating a planet?

A. It is a waste of money and time.           B. It should be one of NASA’s next plans.

C. It is not a good idea for humans.           D. It won’t come true in the near future.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A long and healthy life

Everyone wants to be healthy and live a long time. 36 Some years ago, a 90-year-old American writer gave some advice for a long and healthy life:

• Believe in yourself.

• Keep your mind active.

• Be positive (乐观的).

• Love people and enjoy helping others.

The women of Okinawa, in Japan, are another great example. 37 Their secret? They exercise every day, they don’t have much stress in their lives, and, in general, they are positive and active.

But of course, diet is important, too. 38 They eat some meat, but they don’t eat any fat from the meat. And they eat seaweed (海藻). This is good for your heart.

The Mediterranean diet is very healthy, too. It includes vegetables, tomatoes, fish, beans, cheese and rice. 39 It comes from olive oil and from fish.

So, what do these two diets tell us?

• Don’t eat any bad fats — like fats in sweets, fried food and meat.

• Eat healthy vegetables, fruit, potatoes and rice.

• 40 If you use oil, use a good one like olive oil. And avoid deep-fried food!

• If you’re a little hungry, eat an apple or a carrot — not a bag of potato chips!

Eat well, live an active and stress-free life, and you’ll live a long time.

A. The fat in this diet is “good fat”.

B. But how can we do it?

C. Don’t use too much oil when cooking.

D. Be active and do exercise every day.

E. The Okinawa women eat fish, green vegetables, carrots, fruit and sweet potatoes.

F. Why do the Japanese women live the longest?

G. They live a long time, they are very healthy and they don’t have many diseases or heart problems.
