Many years ago my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terrible illness. He was unable to work at a steady job. But he wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved kids. He would talk to them and play with them. Sometimes, he would lose one of the kids. In certain cases, he would give comfortto the sad parents of these children.

One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (使……瘫痪) her from the neck down. My dad decided to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn't use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He would visit her whenever he could paint for her. All the while he would tell her,\

Eventually, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was discharged (允许出院). My dad also left the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, he was at the volunteer counter one day and noticed the front door open. In came the little girl who had been paralyzed, but this time she was walking. She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tightly. She gave my dad a picture she had done using her hands.

The $380,000 aircraft, called the \a 45-mile range and fly as high as 15,000 feet when it is on sale next year, according to David Mayman, CEO of JetPack Aviation, one of the companies that create and sell flying vehicles. This motorcycle can take off vertically (垂直地) from the grassland or a street and land on the other side of the city in a similar position. This idea has always been treated like science fiction.

At some point, the Speeder could be adapted to use electric energy, which is more environmentally friendly, but for now, Mayman said, no battery cells come close to the speed and potential power created by jet engines. Besides, like other developing similar craft, currently the Speeder will only be used for recreation and sport until laws and regulations begin to change in America.

Mayman argued that there was a large role for the Speeder to play in both civilian and military life. He said his company has been working for several years to develop a jet pack that could be used by Special Forces soldiers. As their cost continued to increase, he said, engineers began designing a personal aircraft that eventually turned into the Speeder.

Mayman said that the aircraft could be used to transport heavy loads or move soldiers on and off the battlefield, especially in areas too dangerous for helicopters. Unlike other flying vehicles, the craft is small enough to sit on the back of a boat or can be easily delivered by a common fighting vehicle. 8．What can we infer about the Speeder according to paragraph 1? ______ A．It can fly 150 miles without stop. B．It is created by several companies. C．It has already appeared in markets. D．It can land on a school playground.

9．What limits the use of the Speeder at present? ______ A．The financial crisis. B．The government policy. C．The bad environment.

D．The technology development.

10．What was the Speeder first intended for? ______ A．Sports games. B．Military force.

C．Electrical engineering. D．Public transportation.

11．What advantage does the Speeder have when compared to other flying vehicles? ______ A．Its high speed to move heavy loads. B．Its potential to use electric energy. C．Its ability to replace helicopters.

D．Its small size that makes it convenient.

Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.

“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly

10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.

Nearby, on a windy hill in London’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.

“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.

“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They live—actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”

So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.

12．What can we infer about London’s air quality from Paragraph 2? A．Londoners are very satisfied with it. B．The government is trying to improve it. C．Londoners should pay more attention to it. D．The government has done a lot to improve it.

13．Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________. A．entertain Londoners. B．solve a world problem. C．design a product for sale. D．protect animals like pigeons. 14．Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London? A．Because they are too expensive. B．Because they fly too quickly. C．Because they are forbidden. D．Because they fly too high. 15．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Clean air in London. B．London’s dirty secret. C．London’s new pollution fighter. D．Causes of air pollution in London.
