21、A city in South Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.

The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.

In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.

“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.

In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about 30 km northwest of the capital, Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.

Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.

【1】What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Drivers driving after drunk.

B．Pedestrians buried in their phones.

C．Passengers crazy about phones.

D．Policemen in charge of traffic.

【2】What do we know about the warning system?

A．It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.

B．It has been spread nationwide.

C．It gives a warning to the smartphones.

D．It is being tried out in many places.

【3】What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?

A．Negative.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Disapproving.

D．Favorable.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．South Korea Warns Smartphone Zombies of Traffic

B．Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent Accidents

C．Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic Accidents

D．South Korea Uses a New Traffic System

22、   Two years ago, aerospace manufacturer SpaceX shocked the world by landing its reusable booster (助推器) engine — the biggest and most costly part of the rocket used to power spacecraft into low orbit — on an autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Now, California-based startup Rocket Lab, has come up with an even more courageous idea: using parachutes and helicopters to capture the returning booster, or first stage as it is often called, in the air!

Rocket Lab’s decision to avoid the propulsive or vertical (垂直的) landing used by SpaceX comes from its business model to keep its Electron rockets small and cost-effective. Standing just 57 feet tall, they are designed to deliver smaller payloads (有效载重) of about 500 pounds for only $5 million a launch. In contrast, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket measuring 229 feet tall can lift up to 50,000 pounds, costs about $62 million a mission. “We’re not in the business of building medium-sized launch vehicles but small ones for customers to get on orbit frequently.” said Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck.

Similar to other rockets, the Electron divides into two once it reaches outer space. While the top part, carrying the load, continues on to its final destination, the booster engine falls back to Earth The company intends to fix a ballute — a parachute-like braking device — to quickly slow down the booster's supersonic speed (超声速) upon its return into the atmosphere. Once it slows down to a reasonable pace, a helicopter will grab the rocket from midair and put it onto an awaiting ship to transport to the company's headquarters. Beck said: “The grand goal here is that if we can capture the vehicle in wonderful condition, in theory, we should be able to put it back on the pad, charge the batteries up, and go again.”

The idea, still in the concept stage, will become one step closer to becoming a reality during Electron’s next launch, scheduled for sometime in 3 years, “Engineers will carefully monitor the first stage as it returns, testing its ability to guide its landing with the best way to slow down its speed,” said Beck.

【1】We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ___________.

A.with a height of 229 feet, the Space X Falcon 9 rocket can deliver a load of 50,000 tons

B.small launch vehicles are designed by Rocket Lab to make its boosters economical

C.Space X once successfully captured its rocket before it landed on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean

D.an autonomous drone ship is used by Rocket Lab to transport the first stage

【2】What distinguishes the Electron from other rockets?

A.It will be equipped with a ballute to reduce its landing speed.

B.Its booster engine falls back to the earth with the load.

C.It divides into two the instant it enters outer space.

D.It is loaded on a helicopter heading for the company’s headquarters.

【3】What will Rocket Lab’s following research focus on?

A.How to capture the booster engine without damaging its function.

B.When to slow down the first stage as it returns.

C.How to cut the cost of each launch mission by calculation.

D.How to make its rockets smaller and more reusable.

【4】In which column can you find this article in a piece of newspaper?

A.Books & Art. B.Business.

C.Science Fiction. D.Technology.

23、   I was only three when my real mom passed away. The last thing I remember about my real mom was watching the ambulance taking her away from us. After my mom died, my dad started abusing my brothers and me. I was sent away to live with one relative after another but no one would ever want to keep me for long. I was miserable almost all of the time. Finally, when I was five, my mom’s sister, Aunt Bonnie, and her husband, Uncle Jesse, said that they would take me in, and they became my legal guardians.

From then on, they became my family. I called Aunt Bonnie Mom and Uncle Jesse Dad. When I was six, Uncle Jesse was diagnosed with cancer and finally died shortly after my seventh birthday. I cried for days after losing him and still clung to the present he gave me on my sixth birthday.

Shortly after Uncle Jesse passed away, we moved to a smaller house in a new town. I spent a lot of time alone because Mom was always working. One summer, the beginning of a miracle happened when my mom met a great and funny guy, David. They got married and now I gained two more brothers.

When I look back on it now, I have come a long way from being a sad and lonely girl to being the person I am today---part of a big, happy family. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if Aunt Bonnie hadn’t taken me in. She promised to love me and take care of me---no matter what--- and she has done exactly that. I have learned about strength, dedication and love. She has been there to hold me when I’m sick, to help me with homework, to support me when I need her. In return, I love her more than she’ll ever know. Without her in my life, I would have been a motherless child, but because of her I have a great family and the best mom in the world.

【1】Why was the author sent to live with her relatives?

A. Because her dad didn’t want to raise her.

B. Because her relatives offered to help her.

C. Because her dad treated her badly.

D. Because her family was too poor to keep her.

【2】We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. Aunt Bonnie had been teaching the author at home

B. Aunt Bonnie was a strong, dedicated and loving mother

C. the family could hardly make ends meet after Uncle Jesse died

D. David, the new father, was wealthy enough to support the family

【3】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
