【题目】 Dry ice is carbon dioxide in frozen form, with a temperature of about -78.3. 1 Instead, when dry ice melts, it turns into a gas. So when you see dry ice “smoking”, it’s frozen carbon dioxide melting into its gaseous state. Dry ice is a popular matter in science experiments and for a good reason. It creates projects that look cool.

Experiment: Healthy Dry Ice Yogurt Popsicles (冰棍)

This dry ice experiment is a simple project, but it’s certainly wonderful. 2 Even kids as young as five will at least appreciate the observations. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.

Materials

One large block of dry ice

Large spoon or tube-shaped piece of metal

Four Popsicle sticks

One cup of your favorite juice

Tall glass filled with water

Directions

Use the large spoon, or tube-shaped piece of metal to make a Popsicle-shaped hole in the middle of the block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a towel on your counter to do this work. 3

Add a Popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the Popsicle stick.

4 After several minutes, remove the Popsicle from the block of dry ice and dip it into a tall glass of water. Do this to warm up the Popsicle just a bit first. 5 You are sure to succeed!

A. Prepare all the necessary materials.

B. Otherwise, it will be too cold to enjoy.

C. It has appeal to a wide range of audiences.

D. Unlike regular ice, dry ice doesn’t melt into a liquid.

E. Keep in mind that it’s okay if it’s not exactly Popsicle-shaped.

F. The number of experiments you can perform using dry ice is endless.

G. Hold the Popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your Popsicle to harden.

【答案】

1D

2C

3E

4G

5B

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何用干冰制作冰棍的实验。

1根据下文的instead这一提示词,可知,和常规的冰不一样,干冰不会融化成液态。而是直接变成气态。故选D

2根据下一句的Even kids as young as five will at least appreciate the observations.甚至五岁的孩子都会喜欢看。可知,这个实验会广泛吸引观众。故选C

3根据本段前面的Use the large spoon, or tube-shaped piece of metal to make a Popsicle-shaped hole in the middle of the block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a towel on your counter to do this work.用大勺子或管状的金属棒在干冰里挖一个冰棍状的洞。可以在干冰下面垫个毛巾,在吧台上操作。可知,前文提及了挖洞(make a Popsicle-shaped hole),其中Popsicle-shapedE项中复现,故E. Keep in mind that it's okay if it's not exactly Popsicle-shaped.记住,这个洞挖得不那么像冰棍也不要紧。最符合语境。故选E

4上文提到在那个挖出来的洞中间加一根冰棍棒,再倒入果汁。特别提到it will freeze around the Popsicle stick(冰棒周围会结冰。)可知,G. Hold the Popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your Popsicle to harden.接下来就应该是固定住冰棍棒,然后等待冰棍慢慢凝固成型。最符合语境。故选G

5根据前一句Do this to warm up the Popsicle just a bit first.冰棍做好以后要在水里浸泡一会稍微加热一下。可知,接下来会解释要浸泡加热的原因。故B. Otherwise, it will be too cold to enjoy.要不然就会太冰而无法吃了。最符合语境。故选B

【题目】 In 1953,a mountain climber reported seeing a bar-headed goose soar over the peak of Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛 ). It was thought impossible. Now researchers who raised 19 of the geesenamed for the black stripes on the backs of their headshave shown the birds really fly so high.

The team trained the youngsters to fly in a large wind tunnel wearing backpacks and face masks full of sensors that recorded their heart rate. blood oxygen levels, temperature, and metabolic ratehow many calories they burned per hour. The researchers simulated(模拟)10w-, medium-, and high-altitude conditions by altering the concentration of oxygen supplied to face masks worn by each goose as it flew in the tunnel.

Birds already have a better heart and lungs than mammals for sustained physical activity. And researchers knew that bar-headed geese have even larger, thinner lungs that let them breathe more deeply and an even bigger heart to pump more oxygen to muscles than other birds.

The wind tunnel experiments showed that when the concentration of oxygen was at its lowest-like the 7% found on top of Mount Everest versus 21% at sea level—the geese's heart rate and frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped. Somehow, the birds managed to cool down their blood-the measured blood temperature droppedso it could take in more oxygen, the researchers report today in eLife. This cooling likely helps compensate for the very thin air, the team says.

Although well trained, the birds were only willing to stay in the air a few minutes-or Iesswhen wearing their backpacks and flying at 6ihigh" altitudes. So it's not clear whether these adaptations alone are what make it possible to fly the 8 hours it takes to climb over Mount Everest. But those few minutes showed these geese really could fly over the top of Mount Everest.

1Why did the researchers raise 19 bar-headed geese and train them?

A.To test the flying height and speed of them.

B.To confirm they could fly over Mount Everest.

C.To observe them flying through the wind tunnel.

D.To see how many calories they burned per hour.

2What can we learn from the wind tunnel experinent?

A.It was carried out at very high altitude.

B.The geese managed to breathe less when their blood decreased.

C.The geese could live through the lowest concentration of oxygen.

D.It shows the geese could fly at high altitude for long.

3What still puzzles scientists about the geese?

A.Whether they have super hearts and lungs.

B.Whether they have muscles pumped more oxygen to.

C.Whether they are willing to wear backpacks and face masks.

D.Whether they can manage to fly 8 hours to climb over Mount Everest.

4Where does the text most probably come from?

A.A science fiction.

B.A climbing guide.

C.A travel brochure.

D.A science report.

【题目】 Harry is a vehicle called a pod—in other words, something like a car. But Harry has no steering wheel or brake pedal. Harry does not even have a driver. Yet Harry is carrying passengers around London for the next few weeks.

Harry is part of an experiment called GATEway that is testing how people react to driverless vehicles. The name GATEway is short for Greenwich Automated Transport Environment. The experiment aims to help cities prepare for the future of transportation. The GATEway experiment does not test new technology. Instead, it tests the way existing technology can work in society.

The pod operates in an area of London called Greenwich, home of time and navigation museums. Other places where pods will be tested are Coventry, Milton, Keynes and Bristol. The pods run using sensors and a 3D map of the area. A safety operator rides along to take control in case of an emergency.

GATEway is intended to see how pedestrians and cyclists may adapt to driverless vehicles. Harry holds up to four people (three passengers and a safety operator) and can travel at speeds up to 16km/h. It is being tested in Greenwich on pedestrian paths, but not on roads with other vehicles.

If you are in Greenwich during the next few weeks you may see Harry, but you cannot ride in it during the trial. Over 5,000 people applied to be a passenger in Harry but only about 100 were chosen.

You can, however, ride in a similar pod at Heathrow Airport in London. The Heathrow pods run on tracks so they are not being tested with pedestrians, cyclists or other drivers. If the trials are successful, the first pods could be operational on the roads of the UK in 2020.

1What’s the purpose of the GATEway?

A.To settle traffic problems in cities.

B.To test a new transportation technology.

C.To prepare cities for future transportation.

D.To draw people’s interest in transportation.

2What will happen if Harry meets with dangerous situation?

A.The passengers will help.

B.It will deal with it by itself.

C.An accident will take place.

D.A human driver will take it over.

3Why is Harry running on the sidewalk?

A.To test the response of people walking or on a bike.

B.To avoid disturbing other vehicles on the street.

C.To prevent it from running at a high speed.

D.To watch pedestrians and cyclists go safely.

4What’s people’s attitude towards Harry?

A.Fearful.B.Positive.

C.Doubtful.D.Grateful.
