24、   If you go to Dubai（迪拜）during the summer holiday, you may see a special kind of "taxi". It is a drone（无人机）. It is said that Dubai decided to use Chinese-made drones as a self-flying air taxi.

The drone taxi is named EHang 184 which is made by a Chinese company（公司）. The drone taxi can fly up to 3,500 meters high. It can fly at a top speed of 160 kilometers an hour. It can only take one person.

How do you call an EHang 184? You use its app on your phone. When the drone comes, you choose the place you want to go to on a touch screen.There is no pilot in the drone. But some people on the ground will be watching it. They will make sure your trip is safe. So you don't have to worry about it.

EHang 184's battery（电池）can only keep about 30 minutes. So it cannot take you further than 50 kilometers. The battery needs to be improved. We all wish it would last longer.

25、 Later next year, Beijing will start the country's first driverless (无人驾驶) subway  trains. The Yanfang Line-connecting part of Fangshan district to the city center-will be the first to try out driverless technology.

The Beijing public transportation authority says the new trains will make the metro system better. They will have an upgraded (升级的 ) operating system. They will reach 80km per hour and carry more than l ,200 passengers.

The development of driverless technology is opening up in other areas of transport. Driverless cars have long been a dream for many. And in the past few years，innovation(创新) has speeded up. Big car companies，including Volkswagon and Toyota, are competing with other companies, such as Google.

But with no tracks(轨道)to run on，how will driverless cars be safe? The technology that is used is made up of many sensors (传感器) ,including radar(雷达) and GPS. This gives the car an exact position in the world，as well as what' s around it. It also allows the car to see moving Objects，too，like other cars and people.

Pilot-free planes have also become a hot technology topic. Yet while these types of technology are seen as better and safer，they do have disadvantages. Automation(自动化) means these types of transport will heavily rely on computers. Just like humans，they make mistakes-although less often.

And like much1 of technology，it makes many workers lose their jobs. What will happen to the future bus drivers and pilots？

【1】 Which of the following about the Yanfang Line trains is NOT true?

26、Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”

Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called a tongue twister (绕口令). It is an exercise made up of sounds that are hard to pronounce in order to help people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.

“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”

Tongue twisters usually do not have much meaning. They are just designed to improve people’s ability (能力) to pronounce words. Although they may be very difficult, these exercises are very important to people who are trying to speak English correctly. This is because tongue twisters help people to tell the differences between similar sounds.

So if you wish to pronounce words more smoothly, you’d better try picking out some tongue twisters and practising them.

【1】Tongue twisters are helpful in improving ______ skills.

A. listening B. writing

C. pronunciation  D. communication

27、   What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you’re probably quiet and shy.

Colors do influence our moods （情绪）. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth. On the other hand, black is depressing （使人压抑的）. There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area until it was repainted green.

Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。（正确的“T”，错误的“F”）.

【1】An active person may like yellow, orange, or red.

【2】Colors do influence on our moods.

【3】Most people feel more relaxed in a bark green room than in a yellow one.

【4】More people killed themselves on the black bridge because the bridge was too crowded.

【5】In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work harder.
