18、suaded her father to pay for flying lessons, and she earned her pilots license at 22 in 1939.In 1940,she heard an ad for volunteer pilots to help the war effort. She signed up and joined the ATA, whose task was to deliver planes from factory to base or from base to factory for repairs.At the height
19、of World War II, 26-year-old Mary Wilkins climbed down a ladder from the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a bomber(轰炸机) at a Royal Air Force base in England.“Wheres the pilot?” someone on the ground asked.“I am the pilot!” she responded. She had delivered the bomber alone-although built for a five-man crew-from its
20、 factory. People on the ground looked at her in surprise. One of them even decided to climb up the ladder to check the plane for the “missing” pilot.She was one of the “Atagirls”, as they were nicknamed, who almost always flew without other crew members, compass or radio assistance. They guided them
21、selves by using maps and following rives or railway lines. While they did not fly in combat(战斗), they faced the daily danger of attack by enemy planes. Mrs. Ellis was once shot at over Bournemouth, in southern England, by “friendly fire” from the ground. Another time, she had a near-miss when landin
22、g in thick fog at the same time a combat Spitfire landed on the same runway from the opposite direction. That experience won her the nickname “the fog flyer” .In all, Mrs. Ellis flew more than 1,000 warplanes of 76 types-including 400 Spitfires-among more than 200 British airfields from 1942 to the
23、end of the war in 1945.24. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean in the second paragraph?A. Touched.B. Addicted.C. Annoyed.D. Confused.25.

25、n combat.B. They were often shot at by enemy.C. They often flew on their own.D. They guided themselves by radio when flying.CWhat kind of rubbish are you? This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special greeting among people over the last year. On July 1st, the city
26、 introduced strict trash-sorting regulations （条例that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present
27、 to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of ones rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （ $ 29）. For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to
28、their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than Londons annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China,
29、it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift （筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.Many residents appear to support the
30、idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They
31、 must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around t
32、he same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.28. What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?A. They are the first of their kind.B. They are tied to ones bank account.C. They have the highest fines.D. Theyre aided by monitors.29. Why has
33、Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?A. There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.B. It aims to build a new recycling system.C. It faces more and more serious garbage problems.D. People throw the rubbish here and there.30. What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?A. Limit
34、ed time for tossing the trash.B. Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.C. Being fined due to improper behavior.D. Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Good Way of Trash-sortingB. A New Era of Garbage ClassificationC. A Gre
35、at Time in Dealing with LitterD. An Effective Solution to Rubbish ProblemDResearchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that sm
36、ell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destro
37、y the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which dictates(决定) the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by
38、 something like 1,000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family o
39、f 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience unc
40、ontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly
41、, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe t
42、his may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.32. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of fo

Bread.B. Pizza.C. Coffee.D. Fast food.34. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Some people can recognize
44、up to 50 smells.B. Every person has a different pattern of genes.C. Different people are sensitive to different smells.D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.35.

Its a really cool caf that also has great food, and sometimes they have music and other special events. Well, it just so happened that there was a literary festival
90、 going on that featured writers and photographers working in China, and I saw that Peter Hessler was going to be speaking at the festival at 7:30 that very night! Peter Hessler is probably my favorite writer at the moment; he used to write about China for The New Yorker, a famous American magazine,
91、and he also wrote three books about his experiences living and working in Beijing. His writing is really funny and super clever, and I was so excited to hear him speak that I went right over to The Bookworm, grabbed a seat at the bar, and waited for him to arrive. I waited and waited, but he still w
92、as a no-show. Finally, at 8:30, I asked one of the staff when he was supposed to be there. “Peter Hessler?” the guy replied. “Hes not supposed to be here tonight. He was here last year, though.” It was then that I realized my mistake. I had come on the right day, just not in the right year!欢迎访问“高中试卷网”http:/sj.fj
