I did the check and everything was in the green. So I told him no. Twenty minutes later the controller called ag
11、ain asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I checked everything. All was fine. I ignored that hint. I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently. The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.The first blast of turbulence（气流
12、）struck my plane. I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles, I realized fuel was now an issue. So was landing. I called Flight Following. We figured out the airport I could land.The
13、engine stopped. So did my heart. There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude. I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank. The engine quit for a second time. I declared an emergency. I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I
14、 gently banked the airplane. Luckily, it worked. Then, the engine quit for the last time. I was a glider now. I made a long lazy spiral descent. Down I went. I stopped at the very end of the runway.I made so many mistakes, missed so many clues, and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up o
15、ver and over again in my mind. I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different.

The passage describes _.A. a rewarding trainingB. a narrow escapeC. a painful explorationD. a serious accidentCLiving with your parents has its benefits at least when it comes to raising your kids their grandkids. Two new studies add to the evide
19、nce that grandmothers can enhance the survival of grandchildren. That is, unless grandmas too old or lives too far away.Humans are unusual in that the females live long past the age at which they stop having babies. Patrick Bergeron, professor of biology at Bishops University in Quebec, said that mo
20、st of the organisms will reproduce up to their very last moment. This increase is often explained by the so-called “grandmother effect”. He thinks there could still be a benefit for women who stop having babies to increase their genetic footprint by helping their daughters to raise larger families.T
21、o explore the “grandmother effect” hypothesis(假设)，Bergeron and his colleagues examined nearly 200 years worth of French-Canadian population records from the 17th and 18th centuries. “At the time, life was tough. In some years, a third of the kids were not even making it to one year of age.” But the
22、researchers found that having a grandmother still alive was a definite plus. “Families with grandmothers alive were larger by about two and the survival of these grandchildren to age 15 was much improved.”This beneficial effect was only seen when the matriarchs(女家长) lived nearby. That role is toughe
23、r for them to fulfill as they get older in poor health, which brings us to the second study. The researchers found that the benefits associated with having a grandmother on hand depended on her age. Once grandmothers hit 75, the grandchild survival benefit disappeared. This was almost certainly due
24、to some form of indirect resource competition, though, rather than wickedness(邪恶) on the part of co- resident grandmothers.So, a healthy grandma helps make for a healthy grandchild. If over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house isnt too long a trip.8. Whats the second paragraph mainl
25、y about?A. Differences between animals and human beings. B. Disadvantages of living with grandmasC. Whats called “grandmother effect”.D. Grandmothers influence on the kids. 9.

Grandmothers over 75 years old are unwilling to help.C. Some grandmothers may occupy kids relative resources.D. Some grandmothers are getting wicked a
27、fter they are old.11. Which of the following can be the most helpful grandmother according to the passage?A. A healthy one living nearby. B. A healthy one living abroad.C. An old one living in a nursing home. D. A knowledgeable one living together.DForget about the “post-1995 generation”. Young peop
28、le born in 1995 or later have another name in English Generation Z. They are entering adulthood and will soon shape our future, which is why policy makers, as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?Most people
29、 will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen-Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. Social media has changed the way Gen Z-ers interact with each other and how they get and process infor
30、mation. They read news from Twitter, watch videos from Vine, share experiences in Instagram and post recipes in Pinterest.“We are the first true digital natives. I can almost simultaneously create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone, all from the user-friendly iPhone
31、,” said Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student.It is noted that young people in the UK are becoming more active in Politics. Young people regard voting as one option among many to show their political engagement that can potentially influence policies. Instead of party politics, they focus more o
32、n single-topic issues such as feminism(女权主义) or climate change. And “much of the engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures,” according to the Guardians.Gen Z-ers are also culture creators. Growing up with the Internet has freed
33、 this generation from traditional cultural expression. They are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents or traditional rules. “We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it,” wrote Masback, a Huffington Post blogger and a Gen Z-er

35、Its topic-specific.14. What can be inferred about the Gen Z-ers?A. They are socially responsible.B. They are friendly and generous.C. They are addicted to social media.D. They are rooted in traditional culture.15. What is the authors attitude towards Gen Z-ers?A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Ambiguous.
