9、e 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, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The p
10、lanes 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 altitudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitude
11、s 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 pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de_Hav
12、illand_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. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stresssuch as air pressure. By
13、 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 resist deformation(变形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.
14、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 being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35,000 feet a whole new outlook, doesnt it?24. Why did airlines aim to f
15、ly at higher altitudes?A. To save money for less drag.B. To help the plane to take off.C. To increase safety of the plane.D. To carry more passengers and go faster.25. What does the underlined words “de Havilland Comet” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An aircraft. B. A band. C. A planet. D. A design.26.
16、Which is the advantage of the rounded window?A. It increases the air pressure.B. It weakens the strength of air pressure.C. It reduces the possibility of breaking up.D. It helps to survive the extreme weather.27. Where does this text come from?A. A newspaper on safe driving. B. A science book on fly
17、ing.C. A website on survival skills. D. A magazine on fashion design.CThe hemlock(铁杉) trees along the Wappinger Creek, New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. Its hard to believe the tiny bug coul
18、d 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 killing trees across the USA. The troublemaking bug is just one of many invasive(入侵的) pests that have slipped into the United State
19、s. 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 them from sliding around. Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett
20、 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. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bug
21、killing pesticide. “I believe in the system,” said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the US. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says
22、: “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 ecocomposite wood. Ecocomposite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these cho
23、ices 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. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.28. All the statements are TRUE except that _A. pesticide has been ap
24、plied to bugkillingB. invasive pests are native to Wappinger CreekC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. the companies making pallets dont want more rules29. What can we infer from the passage?A. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes.B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly.C. Bugs wont bot
25、her the tree if just in few numbers.D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection.30. Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?A. Because insects mostly die in them.B. Because plastic pallets are ecofriendly.C. Because they are not worth extra money.D. Because they are the m
26、ajor pest carriers.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA.B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.C. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods.DHave you ever
27、spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”, often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience,
28、we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say. A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there
29、is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which
30、the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes i
31、nto tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud
32、, the air gets spit out(被挤出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down stor
