Buffalo.BWhile staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, a

18、erospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher alti

19、tudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力)for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30，000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical(圆柱体) shape to support the pr

20、essure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de_Havilland_Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft.However, where theres a corner, theres a weak spot. W

21、indows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stresssuch as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and res

22、ist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives bei

A science book on flying.CThe hemlock(铁杉) trees along the Wappinger Creek, New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett s

26、ays the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. Its hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it ends up killing the tree.The bug from East Asia is slowly killin

27、g trees across the USA. The troublemaking bug is just one of many invasive(入侵的) pests that have slipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep

28、 them from sliding around. Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets dont want more rules. Congress has added an amendment(修正案) in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. H

29、owever, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bugkilling pesticide. “I believe in the system，” said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are che

30、cked very carefully.Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the US. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says: “Inspectors cant possibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden pallets.” He believes pallets should be made of plastic or ecocom

31、posite wood. Ecocomposite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the US. $5 billion a year. Trees dont just die in forests. They also die in cities and our yards

32、. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.28. All the statements are TRUE except that _A. pesticide has been applied to bugkillingB. the companies making pallets dont want more rulesC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek29. What can we infer from the passage?A. Bugs wont bother the
