Can you imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport? Can you imagine jumping over crowded city streets at rush hour to get where you want to go far 1 than you could in a car? Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.

In June, the FAA—the government group in charge of America’s skies— 2 to allow a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxi.

Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. But this is the 3 time they’re testing a taxi that’s been built in a factory. Before that, all their 4 were made by hand.

By 2025, Joby hopes to start 5 passengers for money. Joby also expects their air taxis to 6 a ride-sharing service in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to 7 an air taxi.

Although the idea of flying taxis is 8 , some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters (直升机), 9 they’ll still be adding noise and traffic to our skies. Some people worry that only rich people will be able to afford to use them.

Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of 10 . The FAA says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”

2. Deaf children enjoy reading happily

Now there are about 32 million deaf children around the world. Deaf children often have problems in 1 to read. And smartphone maker Huawei, wants to help them out 2 a new app called StorySign. It is powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

Parents and teachers can use the app to help deaf children learn 3 to read. It is easy to 4 the app. Just open the app and 5 on the chosen book from the StorySign Library. Hold the phone up to the words on the page, and the AI Star will then sign the words as the printed words are highlighted (照亮).

Users can also 6 a book from the app’s book library. The first book on the StorySign platform is the popular children’s book Spot the Dog (《斑点狗小玻》).

The app start with a 7 called The Silent Child. The film sees a young girl Star reading 8 with her father on Christmas Eve. Later that night when she goes downstairs to look at her presents, she is filled with 9 to see Father Christmas who hands her a book as a gift. When Father Christmas 10 that the little girl is deaf, Santa begins to sign the book to her.

The developers specifically design the product to make the app’s main character Star 11 with both boys and girls by making her an elder sister or friend. They will help the deaf children read and understand the book. Star’s facial expressions and hands are able to fully 12 the “perfect”sign language. Star also wears a hearing aid (援助). This way, not only are the deaf children learning to read, but they are also happy.

“We created StorySign to help make it 13 for families with deaf children to enjoy an enriched story time,” said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei’s CMO for Western Europe. 14 many deaf children make an effort to learn to read, there are no resources that connect the differences between sign language and written text. The app can be downloaded from app stores in 10 different 15 including English, French, German, and Italian. It perfectly gives them this tool to make it easier for them to read.

二、阅读理解

Recently, the first application (应用) of concrete 3D printing technology in building construction (建筑) in Hubei province, the new countryside housing project in Daye, was officially delivered.

Built by the First Company of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau (中建三局一公司) , the Daye countryside housing project is a provincial﹣level pilot project in Huangshi city, covering an area of 20 hectares. The project’s community design combines countryside houses, countryside parks, high﹣standard farmland and landscaping to create a picturesque neighborhood.

The project manager, Yuan Hu, explained that 90 percent of each structure is prefabricated, allowing the main structure to be completed in 4 to 5 days. The house walls, inside and outside decorations are made from high﹣performance green and environmentally friendly materials, which provide enough thermal and sound insulation, waterproofing, and a comfortable living environment year﹣round.

Thanks to the three﹣step design, loading and 3D printing process, each house can be built in just a week. The advanced design and construction technology stand for an upgrade to countryside housing development and the construction industry in general.

Energy﹣saving is included throughout the project. Rooftop panels connect to a heat collection water tank which is placed in the equipment interlayer below the split roof, reducing the need for additional pressure pump sets.

The project team is currently developing a countryside park and areas for fishing, woodcutting, farming, reading, landscaping and fruit tree planting. Other tasks include land leveling, farmland slope protection, soil fertility protection and building irrigation (灌溉) and drainage ditches (排水沟) and roads.

1．Where does the first application of 3D printing technology in construction happen?

A．The First Company of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau.

B．The new countryside housing project in Daye.

C．Building construction (建筑) in Hebei province.

D．The Daye countryside farmland project in Huangshi city.

2．What is the purpose of the countryside housing project?

A．To build countryside houses.

B．To build countryside parks.

C．To improve high﹣standard farmland.

D．To create a picturesque neighborhood.

3．What does the underlined word “prefabricated”mean?

A．预制的B．人造的C．制造的D．编造的

4．Which is NOT the advantage of 3D printing construction material?

A．It saves construction time.

B．It is green and environmentally friendly.

Is there anything sponges can’t do? For many years, humans have used dried natural sponges to paint, clean up and take in water. They are good at catching tiny particles (颗粒) in their many pores. Now, as scientists around the world are beginning to show, sponges’ pore-filled forms mean that they could offer a solution to a big challenge of our time: microplastic (微塑料) pollution.

Recently, Chinese researchers published a study describing their development of a new man-made sponge. Tests show that when a plastic-filled liquid (液体) is pushed through the sponge, it removes the microplastics from the liquid. Though the effectiveness of sponges differed in experiments depending on the concentration (浓度) of the plastics and the nature of the liquid, researchers could remove up to 90% of the microplastics under the most favorable conditions.

These new sponges are made mostly from starch (淀粉) and gelatin (明胶), making them light and easy to transport. According to a materials chemist at Ocean University of China who got involved in the study, researchers can make sponges more or less porous—by changing the temperature when mixing the ingredients. This decides what size particles can be collected—highly porous sponges have lots of very small pores, which is good for catching very tiny particles.

According to the chemist, the sponges, if produced at an industrial level, could be used in wastewater treatment plants or in food production equipment to take away harmful chemicals. It would also be possible to use sponges like this in washing machines to collect microplastics produced when clothes are washed, suggests a chemist from Zurich.

Yet challenges remain. One of them is that starch and gelatin are important to the food industry, meaning that there could be competition for the key ingredients in the future. However, similar sponges can be made with different materials, such as the sugar taken from the shells of certain ocean animals.

Another challenge is that during the process of producing these new sponges, formaldehyde—a highly harmful chemical—is used. Scientists around the world are working to upgrade the production so that they can make a completely environmentally friendly sponge.

As microplastic pollution is getting more serious, these new sponges give us reason to be hopeful. It’s like giving the earth a helping hand to stay clean and healthy.

1．According to the passage, the new sponges could be used to ________.

A．take microplastics out of a liquidB．test the nature of the plastics in a liquid

C．change the temperature of a plastic-filled liquidD．replace plastics with harmless materials in a liquid

2．What can we learn from the passage?

A．It’s difficult to find the ingredients for the new sponges.

B．The new sponges would increase food production in factories.

C．The production of the new sponges is environmentally friendly.

D．How porous sponges are decides what size particles can be collected.

3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．New Sponges: A Modern Tool to Recycle Plastics

Robots are helpful in many ways. They can help us wash dishes, cook, and clean rooms. 1 Now they’re turning their attention to fighting climate change by helping to plant trees.

It’s reported that two robots have been developed to plant young trees. They are the size of a small car. 2 One robot chooses the most suitable locations for planting. The other quickly covers large areas and plants lots of trees in a short period of time.

3 They sense the environment around them and operate on their own. They can travel at speeds of up to 20 km/h. In five or six hours, the pair can put down as many as 380 young trees covering 10 thousand m². 4 While working, the two robots can also record the location of each new tree.

The world loses about 100 thousand km²of trees every year. Scientists say that we need to plant 1, 000 billion trees to solve the problem of forest cover loss and help slow down climate change.

5 That can make us get a satisfying result.

It is great news that two tree-loving robots can help solve the big world problem. Technology provides endless possibilities for the world, doesn’t it?

A．Both robots are driverless.

B．They can work as a team.
