My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had
28、 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 the history of aviation (航空) to flying in state-of-the-art pilot tra
29、ining 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 hours to receive my private pilots license. In that one joyous and o
30、h-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 mechanics and techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I
31、 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 of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realiz
32、ed 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 I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It
33、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 they change, even if they finally dont involve aviation, Ill always a

Paragraph 2 is mainly about _.A. which aircraft the author got to fly B. how the author learned t
35、o 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 unusual techniques59. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the aut
36、hor _. A. cares a lot about money and benefits B. brings happiness to othersC. pursues his aims whatever happens D. offers advice wherever he goes6 / 17B Do you know electricity can change the way we taste food? Proving this fact is a revolutionary electric fork designed by Japanese researchers that
37、 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 go on a low-salt diet and still enjoy delicious food. And wit
38、h 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 Computer Human Interaction Conference in Austin, Texas, in 2012. N
39、akamura 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.Nakamura has improved the technology to be able to transfer an el
40、ectric 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 the circuit. When you remove the fork from your mouth, you dis
41、connect 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 had. “When I first heard of electric food, it sounded scary,”
42、 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 in an attempt to understand it better. “For me, food hacking
43、 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. prefer food free of salt D. show interest in tasty food 61. Pa
44、ragraph 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 taste B. changes peoples dietsC. helps cure diseases D. repl
45、aces salt in cooking7 / 17CTea 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 switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so alre
46、ady. 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 but 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 sta
