15、选项中，选择最佳选项。AHave you ever wondered?1. Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon (大气现象) known as the jet strea
16、m (气流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (the height about sea-level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite.2. What would ha
17、ppen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we could magically turn off gravity, would buildings and other structures float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thou
18、sand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go off the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. Turning off gravity would be like letting go off the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. P
19、eople in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (= the top surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.26. What information can we get from the first passage?A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.B. Planes go slow
20、er when they are moving with the wind.C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.27.It can be known that without gravity _.A. buildings and other structures would float away B. trees and buildings
21、 would not so easily fly off C. something around your head would not float awayD. everything outside buildings would fly off into space28.Where can we read this passage?A. In a research paper. B. In a short story.C. In a travel magazine. D. In a students book. BCollege students often hear about the
22、“freshman fifteen”. What does it mean? You may wonder.It means the fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms students might gain(获得) in their first year of college.Many young men and women put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools have studied it. Cornell University in Ithaca, New Yor
23、k, has found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks. That is almost two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate(比率), how long will they put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year.And why do so many freshmen gain weight? The
24、answers listed by experts are not so surprising. The freshmen gain weight because its the first time for college kids to enjoy complete control over their own lives. They may choose to eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. For example, college students often eat foods high in fat. Af
25、ter all, there are no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just busy. Also, freshmen often use food to relax their mind, they will overeat when they have food as they have college pressures to deal with. This may be short-lived (短
26、暂的), but the weight gain should not be overlooked(忽视). Remember: It requires more effort to lose those pounds than to simply not gain them in the beginning. Or even worse, they may carry the extra weight around for years.29. What does the “freshman fifteen” mean? A. The first fifteen days at college
27、. B. The freedom first-year college students enjoy.C. The fifteen pounds first-year college students gain.D. The fifteen pounds first-year college students lose.30. Some freshmen often overeat to . A. give themselves more energy B. gain extra weight C. taste junk food D. take pressures off their min
28、d31.We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A. “freshman fifteen” may have long-term effect on college studentsB. weight gain is nothing serious for freshmenC. “freshman fifteen” is not a common problemD. “freshman fifteen” is a problem hard to preventCTwenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a livi
