5．You never see them，but they're with you every time you fly．They record where you're going，how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to withstand （经受）almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They're known as the black box．
    When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean June 30，2009，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine（潜水艇）detected the device's homing signal five days later，the discovery marked a huge step toward detennining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed．
    In 1958，Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first model for a black box，which became a requirement on all US commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to withstand crashes，however，so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane一the area least subject to impact--from its original position in the landing wells（起落架舱）．That same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．
    Modem airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recorder，which tracks pilots'conversations，and a flight-data recorder，which monitors fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments．Placed in an insulated （隔绝的）case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel，the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2000°F．When submerged，they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20，000 ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1，2009，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they're still likely to turn up．In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years，only one plane's black boxes were never recovered．

46．What does the author say about the black box？D
A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane．
B．The idea for its design comes from a comic book．
C．Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible．
D．It is an indispensable device on an airplane
47．What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner？A
A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash．
B．The total number of passengers on the board．
C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage．
D．Homing signals sent by pilot before the crash．
48．Why was the black box redesigned in 1965？C
A．New materials became available by that time．
B．Too much space was needed for its installation．
C．The early models often got damaged in the crash．
D．The early models didn't provide the needed data．
49．Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow？C
A．To distinguish them from the color of the plane．
B．To caution people to handle them with care．
C．To make them easily identifiable．
D．To conform to international standards．
50．What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447？A
A．There is still a good chance of their being recovered．
B．There is an urgent need for them to be restructured．
C．They have stopped sending homing signals．
D．They were destroyed somewhere in Brazil．

一 I'd rather they know，sir．（　　）

2．When people think of New York City，most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway，Times Square and other tourist attractions．However，there is another side of New York City．The summer after tenth grade，I went with my group on a mission trip to New York City for a week．
    I had always known that poverty existed in major cities，but I had never seen it to a degree as high as we did there．We worked at several different locations with our small groups．One day，we served at a soup kitchen and what I saw astounded me．I couldn't believe my eyes．We saw people from all walks of life．We met people who came there because they had no job，no home and no money．
       Another day，we volunteered at a homeless shelter．We helped people there do some cleaning and spent time talking to them and listening to their stories．It was incredible to see how thankful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them．
        Every person we met on that trip had a unique story．Whatever their stories were，there was a common thread we saw in them--hope and thanks．These were people who had nothing and yet they were so hopeful about their futures and they were thanking us．
       My experience during that summer changed my life．I used to picture my future as containing a big house and a lot of money，but now I see my future as helping others．After college，I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with the social issues，such as poverty and homelessness．

14．In colleges around the country，most students are also workers．
The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television．Instead of the students who wake up late，party all the time，and study only before exams，many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities，but real jobs，too．
This isn't a temporary phenomenon．The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s，and one-fifth of students work all year round．About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job．The arrangement can help pay for tuition （学费） and living costs，obviously．And there's value in it beyond the direct cause：such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation．With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets，on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on．
But it's not all upside．Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses．The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage，they would earn just over $15，000 each year，certainly not enough to pay for tuition，room，and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid．That means that though they're sacrificing time away from the classroom，many working students will still graduate with at least some debt．And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all，by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes．
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college．Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all．The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits．

28．According to the passage，the reality of college students is thatD．
A．they throw parties a lot
B．they stay up late every night
C．they pay no attention to exams
D．they work besides attending classes
29．What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students？C
A．The lack of summer jobs for young adults．
B．The need of developing social networks．
C．The chance of finding a job after graduation．
D．The expenses of high tuition and living costs．
30．We can learn from the passage thatA．
A．dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits
B．students can cover all their college expenses through working
C．students receive a huge reward for managing work and class
D．working students are more likely to finish college
31．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．The Difficulties of Landing a Job
B．The Struggle of Work-School Balance
C．The Reward of Working While Studying
D．The Images of Working College Students．
