27、   A nation-wide honeybee crisis is under way in the United States. Lately bees have begun to rapidly disappear in24 states across the country. For reasons unknown, bees are flying off in search of nectar and pollen and simply never returning to their colonies.

Bees are extremely social insects; they never desert their young or bee queens. Researchers argue that bees are most probably dying during their search for nectar. A range of theories is also investigated, including a virus and poor bee nutrition. Researchers are looking into a group of pesticides that were banned in European countries to find out whether the chemical preparations(still used in the U. S.) are somehow causing damage to bees' born ability to find their way back home. According to yet another theory, the losses may have resulted from a massive attack by mites, which have repeatedly damaged bee colonies in the past.

The bees disappear as pressure has been building on the U. S. bee industry. The costs to maintain hives are continuously rising. The bee business becomes less profitable as a result. According to estimates by the Agriculture Department, the number of hives has dropped by a quarter over the last twenty years, and the number of beekeepers decreased by half. Beekeepers also have to deal with the problem of suburban spread as they search for areas where bees can hunt for nectar to stay healthy and feel good during the pollination season.

A terrible epidemic breaks out in The Plague, a novel by Albert Camus, shortly after hundreds of dead rats are discovered all over the town. The recent bee mystery, already nicknamed a "colony collapse disorder" by U. S researchers, seems to somewhat resemble the situation described in the novel. We can only hope that the "bee plague" will not take shape of a problem of global proportions.

【1】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．terrible epidemic breaks out in America.

B．The reason for honeybees' disappearance.

C．Measures should be taken to solve the problem.

D．The tragedy of mysterious disappearance of America's honeybees.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following is right?

A．Bees are not fond of living together.

B．The scientists have found out the reason for bees disappearance.

C．Probably, the losses may result from their colonies being damaged.

D．It is likely that the bees die while looking for nectar.

【3】What's the number of beekeepers if 480 people raised bees 20 years ago?

A．240.

B．200.

C．120.

D．60.

【4】Why do researchers worry about the loss of honeybees?

A．Because they think the bee plague will kill them.

B．Because they believe man will be defeated in the end.

C．Because they think the US bee industry is going to come to an end.

D．Because they fear the coming of the disaster described in the novel.

28、

Recall(回忆) how you find a name in a telephone book? You don't read any more than necessary to find the name you look for. Notice that you go directly down a column of news. Maybe you use your finger to guide your eyes. This type of reading is usually called scanning. 【1】In scanning, you know what you are looking for. In skimming(略读) you don't.

Since you don't know exactly what you are looking for while skimming, prepare yourself by reading the title, source, author and picture. Then you question yourself-who, what, when, where is this likely to be mainly about?【2】Look for exact names of people, places, things, ideas, numbers and words like therefore, whenever, until, because and instead, to inform you of how and why.

【3】You will soon be able to discover important facts and strange vocabularies by this important step. And you even can find words that are clues to important relationships.

It's a good practice to skim everything in mass media after reading the title and first paragraph. You may get all the information you want. 【4】

Skim everything you intend to read before you make a final decision to read or study the material. Skim all highlights and develop a read-skim pattern for rapid review. 【5】 Reviewing frequently and rapidly is the best way to remember information from notes and long texts.

A.And don't miss this!

B.It is quite necessary to learn scanning.

C.Soon you will note new or unusual vocabularies.

D.This keeps your skimming skills from becoming worse.

E.Skimming is a step you should always take before you read any article.

F.With a questioning mind, you direct your eyes down the column of print.

G.Skimming uses the same type of skill in form but a different skill mentally.

29、   Getting stuck in a traffic jam is one of the most boring problems for people living in big cities. The fact that you’re moving so slowly leads to stress, anger and the wish that your car could just fly over the traffic like an airplane.

Soon, however, that wish could come true. On May 8, US car-renting company Uber showed off what it described as “the transportation mode of the future: on-demand air transport,” reported ABC News.

According to Nikhill Goel, head of products for Uber Air, the company’s air taxi service may start test flights in the US cities of Dallas and Los Angeles, as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, as early as 2020. If everything goes according to plan, passengers will be able to fly to work by 2023.

When the Olympics comes to Los Angeles in 2028, Uber “expects to have hundreds, if not thousands, of its airplanes in the skies.” Goel told Newsweek.

So what would Uber’s flying vehicles be like?

They are small, electric airplanes that take off and land up and down, they give off zero emissions (排放) and are quiet enough to operate in cities.

Just like an airplane, the vehicles will have fixed wings to help them glide. But while a helicopter has just one big fixed rotor (螺旋桨), Uber’s vehicles will have many rotors, which will help increase fuel efficiency (效率) while reducing emissions and noise.

Because of these fixed wings and many rotors, Uber’s flying taxis “should be quieter and safer than a helicopter.” reported ABC News .

However, the service still has a long way to go before it’s ready to accept passengers, for example, to avoid any possible accidents. Uber is working with NASA to study air traffic control problems connected with low-flying aircraft. But just as Dubai’s Mayor Betty Price said, “This program is revolutionary and future-oriented (面向未来的).”

【1】Uber’s flying taxis are expected to start to take passengers in 　　   .

A. 2020 B. 2023

C. 2028 D. 2030

【2】How are Uber’s flying taxis different from helicopters?

A. They have one big rotor. B. They need more fuel to fly.

C. They have fewer fixed wings. D. They should be quieter and safer.

【3】Which is TRUE about the flying cars according to the passage?

A. They nearly do no harm to the environment.

B. They must be in larger number a few years later.

C. They will surely help passengers avoid accidents.

D. They can be as efficient as airplanes and helicopters.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The advantages of Uber’s flying taxis.

B. Uber’s plan to start the business of flying taxis.

C. Different opinions about Uber’s flying taxis.

D. The difficulties Uber is facing in testing flying vehicles.

Chinese medical expert have warned that antibiotics （抗生素）are “ 【1】 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects for the health of an entire generation.

According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 【2】 patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation（公共卫生）measures.

Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 【3】 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing children’s Hospital take intravenous drips（静脉输液）that largely contain antibiotics.

“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 【4】antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 【5】risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.

The ministry 【6】 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 【7】 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 【8】 supervision on prescription（处方）safety under heavy pressure from patients.

Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 【9】by profit-seeking pharmacy （制药）firms.

About 60 percent of the newly 【10】 medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.
