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 very soon.
Grant Stapleton from Malloy Aeronautics says the Hoverbike, which is able to get in and out of
small spaces very quickly, will be a truly personal flying vehicle. "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 when developing the Hoverbike. He
ays the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors (折叠旋翼) to power the
vehicle. The company is testing both a one-third size model and a full-size prototype (原型) of the
Hoverbike.
Inventors say their Hoverbike 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 bike, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up t0 1,000 meters high and reach
a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.
Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack "is built around safety
from the start, " In his words, "reliability is the most important part of it. We have safety built into
the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car. "
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 opens at a very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an
emergency," he adds.
24. Which of the following words can best describe the Hoverbike?
A. Powerful. B. Fast. C. Portable. D. Available.
25. What make(s) flying vehicles seem practical now?
A. Modem technology. B. New safety rules.
C. Love of cycling. D. Public concerns.
26. Who are expected to use the Hoverbike first?
A. People who dream of flying. B. People who really love cycling.
C. People who design the bike. D. People who serve public purposes.
27. What's the main concern the two companies share?
A. Safety. B. Speed. C. Size. D. Design.
C
Fifty years ago, the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the
Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (嘘声). The audience may
have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction
of music and culture in the United States.
The mid-1960s were a time of great change. One such place of
change was the world of folk music. Bob Dylan became a symbol of
change when he moved from acoustic (原声的) to electric guitar.
Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change. It is called " Dylan
Goes Electric. "
“There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven
of the top 10 albums were folk records. And Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, all
had huge, huge, huge number-one records. "
And then this happened: The "British Invasion" introduced the world to the Beatles and grew
a huge fan base for rock music. That worried many folk musicians, says Elijah Wald.
They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue. However, a new Dylan sound came from
the stage.
Bob Dylan had gone electric, and the followers of folk music were not pleased.
"When Dylan went electric, I think one of the issues was the feeling that - wait a minute,
he's gone over to the enemy. "
Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll. But, author
Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music.
" Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music. "
In fact, Dylan was a Beatles fan. He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he
knew "they were pointing to the direction where music had to go. "
Beyond the music, Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.
28. How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival?
A. Excited. B. Unsatisfied. C. Respectful. D. Bored.
29. Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald?
A. Great changes had taken place in folk music.
B. People had grown sincere love for rock music.
C. Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend.
D. Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time.
30. What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do?
A. Change folk music for better.
B. Recover the glory of folk music.
C. Introduce the world to the Beatles.
D. Play rock and roll against the Beatles.
31. What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. Dylan's deep love for the Beatles' rock and roll music.
B. Dylan's beliefs in the new direction music should go.
C. Dylan's music as a great contribution to American folk music.
D. Dylan's performance as a mark of a change in American culture.

Disappearing Roots
I have fond memories of following my mother to the wet market in Ghim Moh area, walking
around the jungle of 8tands, trying not to slip and fall in my slippers and carelessly getting nay feet
wet from the water that dropped o行 from the fish counters and vegetable 8tands to the stone floor,
listening to her bargain in Teochew to the vegetable seller who in the next minute would start talking
to another customer in Malaysian.
The book store in Ghim Moh that my brother James and I visited frequently as kids, closed 4
years ago after over 30 years in business. I used to appreciate the fact that it had changed little over
the course of three decades, the shelves still stocking the same types of notebooks that I had bought
as a 7-year-old kid. It was our childhood landmark and it had allowed me to follow my childhood
footsteps on its same worn concrete floors.
I noticed that a big shady tree just outside of the Ghim Moh market had been removed and in its
place stood a skinny tree that could not shade the little dog that was sitting under it, desperate for
some shade in the hot mid-day sun.
Yes, in Singapore we have pictures in museums and books reminding us of our local heritage
(遗产) Many of our favorite places can only be read about nowadays in books or magazines.
We are physical beings. We make sense of our world and our relationship to our world through
our senses. Sometimes, it's not enough to just read about it. We have to feel it, smell it, touch it so
as to form our own memories of it, our own stories, and in turn share those experiences and stories
with other people.
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.
32. What does the underlined word "Teochew" in Paragraph l probably refer to?
A. A language. B. An attitude. C. A gesture. D. A shop.
33. Why does the author mention the book store in Paragraph 2?
B. To recall his brother.
A. To show his anger. .
C. To express his regret. D. To applaud the change.
34. What has happened to many of people's favorite places in Ghim Moh?
A. They have been preserved in museums.
B. They disappeared from where they belonged.
C. They serve as monuments to the old days.
D. They have become landmarks of the country,
35. What does the writer suggest we do in the last two paragraphs?
A. Feel and touch the world.
B. Hold on to our roots.
C. Share our experiences with others.
D. Get connected to our friends.

food pipe , the stomach, the small intestine（肠）,and the large intestine.

tract and the other digestive organs make up your digestive system.
Food enters the body through the mouth. Waste materials (undigested food) leave the body
through the anus（肛门）．The anus is at the end of the large intestine.
