17、every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand(抵挡) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. Theyre known as the black box.When planes fall from th
18、e sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause
19、of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. E
20、arly model, often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane - the area least subject to impact - from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxe
21、s, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be visible. Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators recon
22、struct the aircrafts final moments. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes blac
23、k boxes were never recovered. 24. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash. B.

D. The early models didnt provide the needed data.26. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require th

To make them easily seen.27. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is an urgent need f

CHow does an ecosystem work? What makes the population of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies an
27、d so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for example, consist of many weak links rather than a fe
28、w strong ones. When a predator（掠食动物） always eats huge numbers of a single prey（猎物）, the two species are strongly linked；when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a pre
29、dator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows to original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to ex
30、tinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of pop
31、ulations of other species-including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators suc
32、h as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecos
33、ystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point（临界点）, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.28. What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical of food webs?A. The living habits of species in food webs.B. The r
34、ules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C. The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D. The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.29. A strong link is found between two species when a predator_.A. has a wide food choice.B. can easily find new prey.C. sticks to one
35、prey species D. can quickly move to another place30. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?A. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.D. Uncontrolled human a
36、ctivities greatly upset ecosystems.31. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?A. By getting illegal practices under control.B. By stopping us from killing large predators.C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.D. By signaling the urgent need for ta
37、king preventive action.DPast researches show that peoples earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3.5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants（参与者）claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first mem
38、ories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle-aged and older adults.For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happ
39、ened. For example, it shouldnt be based on（基于）a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories fro
40、m an age when memories cannot form.As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experienc
41、e, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained.“We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional（虚构的）early memories is a mental representation（表现）consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood
42、 or childhood, study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release, Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are
43、memories, which particularly point to babyhood.”Importantly, the person remembering them doesnt know this is fictional, study co-author Martin Conway said “In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often dont believe it. ”32. What can we learn from a recent study?A. Memories f
44、orm after the age of 3. B. Participants are good at telling stories.C. Adults are likely to form false memories. D. Earliest memories may play a trick on us.33. Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?A. A direct experience. B. A family story. C. A family photo. D. A sad f
45、eeling.34. What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?A. They are repeated mental representations.B. They are a collection of early experiences.C. They are a combination of both facts and fictions. D. They are further details of remembered experiences.35. Which part of a newspaper i
