11、rash of TransAsia Airways Flight 235 in Taiwan are inspiring as well as exciting. They raise the question: Why do some passengers survive plane crashes while others sadly dont?Some of the survival games involve factors passengers largely cant control, like the weather, flight crew skills, the design
12、 of airline seats and the construction, maintenance(维修)and the age of the plane.But passengers themselves can do a lot to improve their chances of survival simply by making smart choices and being informed.Here are a few ideas to keep in mind:*Seat choice. Experts differ. Have you heard of the “five
13、-row rule”? This refers to the idea that if you re sitting within five rows of an emergency exit, you have a statistically(统计地)better chance of surviving a crash.* Listen to the safety talk. Yeah, its boring. But it could save your life! The presentation-by video or by flight attendants-explaining w
14、hat to do in case the plane goes down, offers key information like: How do I get out?*Read the safety card. Do you know that safety card in the pocket of the seat in front of you? Think of it as a map leading you toward survival. Read it. It shows how the plane youre on will be evacuated(撤离).*Be awa
15、re of the exits. Plan your escape. Visualize how you-and perhaps children youre traveling with-are going to get out of the plane.*Move quickly. You have 90 seconds to get out of the plane after a crash. Many passengers in plane crashes survive the initial impact. Its what happens next that often kil

A dagger(匕首)discovered in his tomb has recently attracted extra attention. Researchers have concluded that the dagger was probably made f
20、rom a special material.King Tut was only about nine years old when he became ruler of Egypt more than 3,300 years ago. The young king died when he was just 19, His body was buried in a tomb filled with objects that people believed he would need in the afterlife.In 1922, Howard Carter discovered Tuts
21、 tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Up to now, it was the best preserved ancient Egyptian tomb ever found. In 1925, Carter found the dagger which has a gold handle and an iron blade(刀片). The blade had confused experts because iron was hardly used at that time in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was
22、 so rare that it was considered more valuable than gold. Where did the iron for the blade come from?Around the time of King Tut, ancient Egyptians started using a new word for iron that translates as iron from the sky. This led some experts to believe that the iron for the blade came from a meteorit
23、e(陨石). But studies of the dagger carried out in the 1970s and 1990s didnt support that idea.Thats where modern technology comes in. Researchers used a new technique to examine the blade. They discovered that it was made up of iron and other materials found in meteorites. After comparing it to severa
24、l meteorites, they even found its possible match-a meteorite that landed in northern Egypt thousands of years ago.Scientists hope the new study will lead to more discoveries about other ancient Egyptian relics, It would be very interesting to analyze more Pre-iron Age objects and we could gain preci

Tuts dagger was likely made from a meteorite D. more valuable objects are hidden in the tombsCHoneybees cant swim, and when their wings are wet, they cant fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when be
28、es drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-Isaac Newtons apple or Benjamin Franklins lightning bolt-Dr. Rohs experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltechs
29、 Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the waters surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The r
30、esearchers used a wire to restrict each bees bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is about three times heavier than air.
31、But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. Its a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasnt been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic(
32、半水生)insects use their legs for propulsion(推进力), which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. Th

What does the author intend to show by referring to Newton and Franklin?A. Rohs admiration for them. B. Rohs chance discovery about bees.C. Their
34、outstanding talent for science. D. Their similar achievements in discovery.30. What plays the most important role in a bees moving forward on water?A. The air weight. B. The bees weight.C. The water surface. D. The bees continuous wingbeat.31. What does the underlined word evolved in Paragraph 4 mea

Find a quiet space and do a couple of deep breaths to warm up. 34 .Dive in. Imagine that youve totally committed to one of your c
