16、t. After finishing school, Larry joined the US Air Force, but was rejected from pilottraining school because of poor eyesight. However, his dream remained.Larry, aged 33, was not a pilot, but a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside in his lawn chair (草坪躺椅) and watching jets fly
17、 overhead, Larry had his inspiration. An idea came to him to use weather balloons to fly.A few weeks later, Larry bought 42 weather balloons that are one metre in diameter(直径). He tied them to a lawn chair and filled them with helium(氦气). Then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches, and
18、 a gun. Larrys plan was to float about 10 metres above his backyard, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then pop some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go according to Larrys plan.When his friends cut the anchor lines, Larry, lifted by the 42 balloons, shot skywards at an ast
19、onishing speed. He finally settled at an altitude of 4,000 metres. Afraid to pop any of the balloons, in case he should upset the balance of his “craft”, Larry sat, cold and frightened, in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours.Airline pilots radioed the strange sight. Larrys presence in
20、the sky caused numerous planes to be rerouted. Eventually, Larry worked up the nerve to shoot a few balloons and slowly descended. He was uninjured, but was arrested by waiting police.When asked by a reporter why he had done it, Larry responded, “A man just cant sit around.” Larry fulfilled his drea
21、m, and set a record for a gasfilled balloon flight. But it cost him: he was later fined $1,500 for violating air safety regulations.24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?ALarry was rejected from the US Air Force because of poor eyesight.BLarry joined the US Air Force because he wanted to be
22、 a soldier. CAlthough rejected from pilottraining school, Larry didnt give up his dream.DLarrys boyhood dream was to fly in an unusual way.25. The underlined part “worked up the nerve” in Paragraph 5 probably means “ _”.Agot a chance Blost his patience Ctook his courage Dwoke up26. Which of the foll
23、owing is TRUE?ALarry planned to fly at a height of 4, 000 metres. BThough things didnt go as planned, Larry was still calm. CBecause he was fined $1, 500, he regretted his behaviour. DAt first he didnt shoot any balloon as he wanted to keep the balance.27. What does the text mainly tell us? AInspira
24、tion is very important to ones success.BLarry fulfilled his flying dream through a lawn chair ride.CLarry became famous because he set a new flying record.DLarry paid the price for his behaviour.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less com
25、ing and a lot more going. When the world was sill populated by hunter-gatherers , small tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhap
26、s 1200 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory edu
27、cation, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6800 languages. The distribution of these languag
28、es is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1000; Africa 2400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3200, of wh
29、ich Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly spea
30、kers left. Pick, at random, Busum in Cameroon (eight remaining Speaker), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark) none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in hunte
31、r-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.29. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern.30. How many languages are spoken by less
32、 than 6000 people at present?A. About 6800B. About 3400 C. About 2400D. About 120031. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created. B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in fewer languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution
33、.DIn todays competitive student world, the ability to work harmoniously with other people is a good way of marking yourself off from everybody else. While teamwork may offer the chance to blame others for your mistakes, you can never blame them for your failings as a teammate. In any case, working o
34、ut where to apportion blame is not a good way to approach membership of any new team. Instead, get to know one another, so you can build up a shared identity and combine your strengths. Find out each others values, weaknesses, and past achievements. Dont shy away from conflicts but work out how to d
35、eal with them. Humour can be a good glue, so have a laugh together. Before settling down to business, its important to establish ground rules. First, make sure you all share the same concept of time. Then, work out how you are going to make and communicate decisions. These are probably best made at
36、a formal meeting and communicated by email. You must also agree on who will be responsible for making decisions. Even if you have decided that decisions dont have to be unanimous(一致的), it is important that every team member is kept involved, including those who always disagree with the majority view
37、, rarely say a word, or have a strange haircut. Once youve got your rules of engagement, define what you want to achieve, and set the deadline. Work out what you have to do before the time is up to do it. The team must assign(分配) roles according to everyones individual skills. Remember that every ta
38、sk is equally important. Whatever your role, it is important to keep a record of what has been decided at each stage and what each member of the team has contributed. Then, when the task is over, you can review how well it went. 32At the beginning of the passage, the author stresses _A. the importan
39、ce of being on time B. the importance of cooperationC. the importance of equality D. the importance of humour33The underlined part “apportion blame” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”A. shoulder the responsibility B. find out the causes of mistakesC. get all the blame for mistakes D. say who should b

43、t to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But good news is that therere really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium one
44、s, and the large ones. 38 . Theyre the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us used to add visual interest to our rooms.
