10、the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Its bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next years trials succe

11、ed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42 % over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie

12、my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the Fly Ease. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Fly Ease shoes sells for $ 130.An Airport for Drones (无人机）As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone

The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as r

17、egularly as he could.More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrisons blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative bl

18、ood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.- 5 -“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “Its an amazing thing. He has saved millions of bab

19、ies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. Hes made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.“Id keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donatio

20、ns and they certainly dont take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and theyre cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.Harrisons retirement is a blow to

21、 the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrisons retirement from giving blood doesnt mean hes completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies an

His DNA is kept in a library for future study.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? _.A. A Unique Man with a R

25、are Blood Type B. The Blood Saving Millions of BabiesC. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire D.

26、icing timely and helpful updates of information.International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on.This is all changing.Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and

27、 airlines they serve to “create a calm, relaxed atmosphere” without being disturbed by announcements.“Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges (休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland a country where the touri

28、sm slogan is “Silence, Please” became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.Lost track of time in the shop?Too bad.Nobodys going to call you to your flight, as announcement

29、s in all terminals will be made only in exceptional emergency circumstances.Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display systems and interactive kiosks (交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicat

30、e with passengers.- 7 -At Munich Airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based, face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the travelers language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here

31、” display to get directions and approximate walking times to their destinations.Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple.There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements, along with boarding calls.But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to speci

35、cize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such - 8 -vagaries (奇想) as GDP growth. After all, everyone is spending; in America, retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ev

36、en so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made.Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient(接受者) would like he tries to guess her preferences, as economi

37、sts say and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy; indeed, it is often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.Inte

38、rested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist at Yale University, sought to estimate the difference in dollar terms. In a research, he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season: first, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for a

39、ll the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the sentimental value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were gloomy: on average, a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver.In addition, recipients

40、 may not know their own preferences very well. Some of the best gifts, after all, are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying, but which turn out to be especially well picked. And preference can change. So by giving a jazz CD, for example, the giver may be encouraging the recipi

41、ent to enjoy something that was ignored before. This, a desire to build skills, is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore their childrens desires for video games and buy them books instead.Finally, there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase. If someone else bu

42、ys them, however, they can be enjoyed guilt-free. This might explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays. Thus, the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try hard to guess the - 9 -preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will have a high sentime

43、ntal value.32. The word “sentimental” in Paragraph 3 is close to “_.”A. intelligent B. emotional C. social D. practical33. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? _.A.

The gift-giver tries to ignore the actual needs of the receiver.B. The best gifts are well picked by th

45、e givers.C. In gift-giving, guessing preference is often a failure, so its the thought that counts.D. You have to take money into consideration when giving a gift.35. The text is most likely taken from a _.A. users handbook B. medical journal C. travel magazine D. consumer-related report第二节 (共 5 小题；

49、ll, if you walk the same direction youd drive, the cars closest to you are coming from behind. That means youd need to rely on the driver to see you and react if its coming up too closely.

Facing those vehicles lets you see danger coming and get o
