Have you ever realized that the smallest countries in the world have so much to
offer? Whether it’s historic and cultural heritage or unspoiled nature, these
microstates are worth a visit.
Grenada
Grenada is a small country in the world. It is located on island of Caribbean, which
is also known as The Island of Spice for several spices like cinnamon, ginger and
rare nutmeg. Grenada relies on tourism. Its pristine beaches, warm turquoise water

Flying High
Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational
non-profit-making organization. His message for kids: “The only thing that separates
you from scientists is determination, hard work and a strong liking for what you want
to achieve.” The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that
starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.
The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents’
bookstore. One customer, a professional pilot, asked Irving if he’d thought about becoming a pilot. “I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough; but the next day
he took me to the cockpit (驾驶舱) of the commercial airplane he flew, and just like
that I was hooked.”
To follow his dream, Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University
of Florida. He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his
flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator (模拟) video game. Then
another dream took hold: flying alone around the world. He faced more than 50
rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft
components. He took off with no weather radar, no de-icing system, and just $30 in
his pocket. “I like to do things people say I can’t do.”
After 97 days, 26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms, he touched down to a cheering
crowd in Miami. “It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed
me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever
since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation (航空),
aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers. Kids
attend programmes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator
challenges.
“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,” he
notes. Perhaps Irving’s most powerful educational tool is the example his own life
provides. After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23, he said, “Everyone
told me I was too young, that I didn’t have enough experience, strength, or knowledge.
They told me it would take forever and I’d never come home. Well ... guess what?”
24. According to Irving, what is the most important in achieving success?
A. Meeting people who provide unexpected help. B. Getting a chance to study
technical knowledge.
C. Having something specific that you want to accomplish.
D. Developing communication with different organizations.
25. What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that ______.
A. he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer B. he was doubtful about his own
abilitiesC. he knew his efforts would be rewarded D. he realized immediately how lucky
he was
26. What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph 3?
A. He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.
B. He was finally given enough money to keep going.
C. He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.
D. He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.
27. Irving set up his non-profit-making organization because ______.
A. he hoped to become a public figure B. he expected to start a business in
other fields
C. he saw there was great interest in what he was doing
D. he thought he could teach more than flight schools could
C
A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic
bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic
bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic
bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic
waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder.
He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take
the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through
a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is
done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted
stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part,
called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly
material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or
pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or
$ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no
shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles
any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good
sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers
can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other
products.
For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However,
the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
28. How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?
A. They are buried or burned.B. They are used to make shoes.
C. They are changed into soft materials.D. They arc returned to factories for reuse.
29. What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?
A. Attached. B. Fixed. C. Combined. D. Repaired.
30. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?
A. The design and color. B. The reasonable price.
C. The company’s advertisement. D. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.B. To describe the process of making shoes.
C. To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.
D. To stress the importance of environmental protection.
D
A team of engineers at Harvard Universty in trying to create the first robotic
fly. Desgned to do what a fly dos naturally, the tiny is the size of a fat housefly.
Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
"The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its
components is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own/’ said
Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The
seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies
(相互依赖)on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it d connected to,” said Wood.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source,
the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might
someday perform daia-gathering work at rescue sites,in farmers fields or on the
battlefield. "Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he
said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at
insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could
have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer
open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult
with the animal,but using these robots instead he said. "So there are a lot of
technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives
ua on a day-to-day basis.”
32. What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?
A. It's automatic. B. It's very small. C. It's controllable. D. It's quite
powerful.
33. We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can .
A. act as a spy plane B. help do farm work
C. fly at a very high speed D. answer many scientific questions
34. What is Wood's ider about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?
A. It is highly questionable. B. It has wide practical applications.
C. It gives scientists interest in flying machines. D. It points to a new direction
in studying biology.
35. What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Harvand's Study in the Field of Insects. B. A Breakthrough in Engineering
Science
C.An Interesting Invention 一 Robotic Fly D. Robotic Fly 一 a Copy of Real Life
Insect

The giant panda is not only a rare animal in China but also one of the rarest animals
on the earth. It is loved by people all over the world.
The home of the giant panda is in the mountains, where it feeds on the tender bamboo
leaves. As more and more forests are being destroyed and most of the bamboo has been
cut down, it is becoming more and more difficult for giant pandas to find food for
themselves. To save pandas, China has set up some nature reserves. But more money
is needed to carry out this important rescue project.
It is our eager hope that people who care for the conservation of rare animals will
lend us a hand to help save giant pandas, so that they can live with us forever.
