My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have bec

19、ome. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and-best of all-I flew!My group took part in activities ranging from learning about t

20、he history of aviation (航空) to flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置 ). At least once a day, I devoted myself to learning one of the worlds best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five h

21、ours to receive my private pilots license. In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking Ive done that. During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the me

22、chanics and techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any

23、of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realized that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions. Thats what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true. Everywhere

24、 I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like standard advice, but Ive really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldnt care less about how much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams. And, even if th

25、ey change, even if they finally dont involve aviation, Ill always aim to fly with the eagles. 56. Two years ago, the author _.A. was admitted to a university B. stayed in a university for one weekC. saw the launch of the rocket D. made good friends with an astronaut57. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _.

26、A. which aircraft the author got to fly B. how the author learned to flyC. what the author learned about simulators D. why the author got a pilots license58. According to the author, _ makes people unique.A. flying like an eagle B. trying something specialC. having their own dreams D. learning unusu

27、al techniques59. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the author _. A. cares a lot about money and benefits B. brings happiness to othersC. pursues his aims whatever happens D. offers advice wherever he goesB Do you know electricity can change the way we taste food? Proving this fact is a revo

28、lutionary electric fork designed by Japanese researchers that can make any dish taste salty.According to Hiromi Nakamura, a Post Doc Research Fellow at Tokyos Meiji University, the technology can be very useful for people on special diets. Patients with high blood pressure, for instance, can easily

29、go on a low-salt diet and still enjoy delicious food. And with the fork, theres absolutely no risk of over-salting their food. Luckily, the voltage(电压) is so small that there is no risk of electrocution(触电) either.The idea of adding electricity to food was first exposed as an experiment at the Compu

30、ter Human Interaction Conference in Austin, Texas, in 2012. Nakamura and her team connected a wire to a 9-volt battery and passed it through a straw placed in a cup of sweet lemonade. Volunteers reported that the charged lemonade tasted blander, because the electricity created the taste of salt.Naka

31、mura has improved the technology to be able to transfer an electric charge to food through forks and chopsticks. “The metallic part of the fork is one electrode（电极）, and the handle is the other,” Nakamura explained. “When you take a piece of food with the fork and put it in your mouth, you connect t

32、he circuit. When you remove the fork from your mouth, you disconnect the circuit. So it actually works as a switch.”Simon Klose, host of food program Munchies, who recently visited Nakamura to try out the fork himself, called this form of food hacking one of the greatest eating experiences hed ever

33、had. “When I first heard of electric food, it sounded scary,” he said. He later continued to use a charged fork to eat pieces of fried chicken, and found that the saltiness considerably increased as the electricity was connected.Nakamura has been eating electric food for the past three to four years

34、 in an attempt to understand it better. “For me, food hacking is about strengthening or weakening real food,” she said. “It may seem like were cooking but were actually working on the human senses.”60. The electric fork may benefit people who_.A. need to go on a diet B. have high blood pressure C. p

35、refer food free of salt D. show interest in tasty food 61. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us _.A. how the electric fork works B. what makes the circuit connectedC. how the technology was improved D. why the electric fork was invented62. From the passage, we learn that the electric fork_.A. creates virtual

36、 taste B. changes peoples dietsC. helps cure diseases D. replaces salt in cookingCTea vs Coffee Tea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United States. With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered making the s

37、witch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so already. All the buzz surrounding tea and coffee may have you wondering, what are the differences? As it turns out, the differences are many and varied.In the US, interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in Hawaii and California b

38、ut stretching to the eastern states of Vermont and New York. On the other hand, the highest interest in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western regions(地区), with the highest search volumes appearing in the states of Hawaii, Washington and Minnesota.Differences between tea and c

39、offee also vary in origin and production. All tea comes from the harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee plants. Production of tea is quicker and more efficient: Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow for three years before they are r

40、eady to process; coffee plants take up to five years.Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea is the question of caffeine. The good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something for everyone. Unlike coffee, which typically only comes

41、 in decaffeinated and regular, there are several varieties of tea available, based on caffeine preference. From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine, to high quality green and black teas that offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulat

42、ed HiCAF blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to suit your needs. As an added bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach for a more comforting pick-me-up.So what is the answer, coffee or tea? If you are looking for the

43、 most healthful benefit possible, tea is probably the winner. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If, like many Americans, the rising popularity in tea has your interest piqued, the images below will help to clearly spell out the differences between tea and coffee. 63. It can be learned fr

46、, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friends new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Biebers latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many othe
