After serving in the U. S. Navy (海军) for 20 years, being a Boeing flight
24、 instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China. Though he is an experienced pilot, he feels the same nervousness as he did on his first flight. Captain Webb said that the “Sept. 11“ i
25、ncident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work. “Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack,“ he said. “The main reason I came to China was that my children would have a chance to see the world and experience interna
26、tional living.“ Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies (紧急情况) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States. “The weather changes tend to be great from north to south. We may be flying in a snow storm in Harbin, and the
27、n later that same day we may be flying through a tropical rain shower approaching Shenzhen,“ Webb said. While Webb had more flexibility(灵活性) to deal with the weather in the United States, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations(偏高). Speaking of planes often
28、being late in China, Webb said that in America, being late was one of the few things that would get him in trouble. “In China, on the other hand, it seems there are many things that can get you in trouble with the boss, but being late is not one of them.“ Webb does everything in his power to keep hi
29、s flights on schedule. “They provide really excellent service during flights. Western flight attendants just serve passengers. But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew to see if we need anything,“ Webb said.(分数:5.00)(1).Webb was engaged in a contract with Shenzhen Airlines as _.(分数:1.0
30、0)A.he was afraid of the influence of “Sept. 11“B.he got a better pay there than in the U.

31、nD.working as a fisherman(3).Webb met a changeable weather, which he had not experienced in U. S. in the flight. And it _.(分数:1.00)A.made him excitedB.caused him frightenedC.affected his healthD.increased his difficulty(4).Which of the following sentence is true of Webb according to the article?(分数:

34、y, you won“t need a bank card or a PIN and you even won“t have to move a finger. You will simply have to look the cash machine straight in the eye“, declares National Cash Registers, a multinational company that makes automated teller machines, or ATMs. NCR has shown its first example machine that i
35、s believed to be the future of banking. Instead of asking you for your PIN on a screen, the super teller Stella for short, asks you orally through a loudspeaker to look straight ahead while an infrared camera turns to your head, then your eye, and finally takes an infrared photograph of your iris (虹
36、膜). For identification purposes, an iris picture is better than a fingerprint, with around 256 noticeable characteristics compared with 40 for fingerprints. This means that the chances of someone else being recognized in your place is about 1 in 10 20 . Once you“ve been identified, Stella greets you
37、 by name and says, “Would you like cash or a statement?“ An infrared port allows the machine to send a bank statement straight to your palmtop computer.(分数:3.00)(1).What is this new machine called?(分数:1.00)A.Stella.B.ATM.C.PIN.D.NCR.(2).When you want to get cash out in the 21st century, you will _.(

39、rivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months. The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce th
40、e 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue(疲劳). Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘)
41、. A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver“s response. Tiredness is directly related to a driver“s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 millise
42、conds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver“s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that
43、the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the department“s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months“ time, are successful, the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.(分数:4.00)(1).Driver Alert _.(分数:1.00)A.has successful

46、we can infer that _.(分数:1.00)A.a sleepy driver may cause an accidentB.sleeping while driving is a bad habitC.there are now few accidents caused by tirednessD.the more time the driver need to response, the less sleepy he isDKuwait is a country, which is quite small but very rich.
