The current train cars in Boston have been running for decades and are too old to provide a modern trip experience.Made in northeastern Chinas Jilin Province, the new

12、cars can run at a speed of 102 kilometers per hour. Although designed according to the U.S. standard, the producing method of the cars is owned by a Chinese company named CRRC, the China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation. The final products match the Boston subways strict maximum weight requirement

13、of 34 tons per car, which barred a lot of world-famous companies from getting the order form. The cars have to be solid, but light-weight at the same time, technology manager of the project Hong Haifeng told CCTVs Mandarin news channel. And they have to be compatible with the century-old facilities

14、in Boston.This is the first time for Chinese rail equipment to be used in the United States. The new cars are designed to run for 30 years. CRRC showcased the model car in Boston on April 3.

18、e, puts an end to winterfetching the wooden screen door.Note that I wrote “wooden”. The aluminum models just wont do itthey close too neatly and keep their perfect form for decades. In the 1960s, a time of imperfection, there was no perfect house, no perfect car, no perfect kids or parents. Why shou

19、ld a screen door be an exception?I grew up with my siblings in a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey. When the warm weather arrived, my dad would pull out the wooden screen door and install it over the back door, which could then be left wide open, admitting a refreshing breeze (we had no air c

20、onditioning).My father was a Mr. Fix-it, so keeping the screen door serviceable was one of his hobbies. Every few years he gave it a fresh coat of paint and fixed it a bit. I distinctly remember him putting the last screw in the last hinge (铰链), and swinging the door shut with a “crack!”A good, wood

21、en screen door, unsightly as it was, had an invaluable function in the age of the stay-at-home mom: It alerted her to the coming and going of the kids. My siblings, and my friends ran in and out of the house, tearing the screen door open and letting it slap shut behind us. A hundred times a day. It

22、was all good, and my mom never complained about the noise, because that was the purpose of a wooden screen doorto slam shut and thereby announce that her children were within earshot.Several years ago, in a fit of nostalgia (怀旧), I went shopping for a wooden screen door. I was disappointed in the ch

23、oices available. They looked a bit too solid, too well made. But I found one online, and within a week it was delivered to my doorstep.The firm had sent me one with the wrong dimensions, so I asked my carpenter to make the necessary adjustments. Ozzie worked away at it for a couple of hours until he

24、 got it to sit neatly in its frame. I gave it a test: I pulled it open and let go. It closed in a lazy fashion. “Not good,” I pronounced. “Please remove the automatic door closer and adjust the door so it swings shut with a good crack.”Ozzie went about his work and a short while later the task was d

25、one. The door was uneven in its frame, and the screen no longer lay flat. But when I pulled open the door and released it, the thing clapped shut like a rifle shot. “What do you think?” I asked. “It looks like hell,” said Ozzie. “But it sounds like heaven,” I said. And I, being the owner of the door

26、and the memoryhad the final word.1、What particular function did the wooden screen door perform in the writers childhood?AIt functioned as an air conditioner in summer.BIt helped sharpen his fathers repairing skills.CIt was more like a toy that kids often played with.DIt made Mom aware that the kids

27、were close by.2、The reason why the writer asked the carpenter to continue to adjust the door is that _.Athe door was not the right size for the frameBthe door was poorly made that it didnt suit himChe wanted to see how the door was supposed to shutDhe was determined to seize the ownership of the doo

Recently, A stu

30、dy conducted by researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (减法).Solving math problems requires a complex level of involving the mental management of numbers, long-term rules and short-term working memory

31、. The finding that even the tiny brain of a honeybee can grasp basic mathematical operations has a possible effect on the future development of Artificial Intelligence, particularly in improving rapid learning.RMITs Professor Adrian Dyer said numerical (数字的) operations like addition and subtraction

32、are complex because they require two levels of processing. “You need to be able to hold the rules around adding and subtracting in your long-term memory, while mentally using skillfully a set of given numbers in your short-term memory,” Dyer said. “On top of this, our bees also used their short-term

33、 memories to solve arithmetic problems, as they learned to recognize plus or minus as abstract concepts.”The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (认知) may be found much more widely in nature among non-human animals than previously suspected.“If math doesnt require a massive brain, ther

34、e might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both long-term rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,” said Dyer.Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems. But

35、 numerical cognition, such as exact number and arithmetic operations, requires a more complex level of processing.Previous studies have shown some primates (灵长目动物), birds, babies and even spiders can add and/or subtract. The new research, published in Science Advances, adds bees to that list.1、What

36、have the researchers from RMIT University discovered?AThe relationship between brain size and brain power.BLong-term rules and short term working memory.CBees can perform complex arithmetic operations.DBees can do basic mathematics.2、According to Adrian Dyer, bees numerical cognition _.Arequires add

There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”, often used in a sit

40、uation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm?A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm-a s

41、ingle-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main stream of current, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air t

42、hat fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperatur

43、e of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(颗粒) like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and dri

44、er during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air is squeezed out at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm b

45、efore a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which be

46、st fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA thunderstorm with a single shape.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA storm with air drawn from every direction.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AWarm and wet air.BWa

47、rm and dry air.CCold and wet air.DCold and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BAll thunderstorms dont start with the calm.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DStorm happens without air moving up and down.4、What is the passa

48、ge mainly about?AA brief introduction of a peaceful storm.BA personal experience of a heavy storm.CAn explanation of the calm before a storm.DAn analysis of causes and effects of a storm.25（10分） Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university can be good for families, leadi

49、ng to closer, more supportive relationships and increased contact between the generations, a study has found.The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents quality of life and wellbeing.The young adult

50、s taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected about moving back homethe shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents financial and emotional support. Daughters were happier than sons, often sli

51、pping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found.Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge d

52、ebts and fewer job opportunities.The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students and then as graduates returning home,

53、as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder.“However”, the study says, “day-to-day tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict, characterised the experience o

54、f a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates”.Areas of disagreement included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to support their adult children allowed the

55、m to remain close.1、What is the finding of the previous research?ABoomerang children made their parents happier.BThe parents were looking forward to their childrens return.CThe parents quality of life became worse than before.DBoomerang children never did any housework.2、The underlined word “trigger

56、” in Paragraph 2 may be best replaced by _.AcauseBdefeatCariseDallow3、What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home?AThey are ashamed of turning to their parents for help.BThey are glad that they could come back.CThey are doubtful about whether they should return.DThey are pro

57、ud to be independent from the family.4、What can be inferred as the reason for the “boomerang children” phenomenon?AThe children want to keep in closer touch with their parents.BThe parents are willing to provide support to their children.CIt is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job.DThe

58、re is more house work needed to be done by the children.5、What is the side effect of the boomerang children phenomenon?ABoth parents and children enjoy a more harmonious relationship.BNeither parents nor children want to do the chores at home.CNot only parents but also children want to be independen
