China's first group of five female pilots flying J-11B fighter jets successfully completed their first solo (单独的) training recently.

During the training. pilots had to complete simulated single engine and landing procedures accurately under high altitude conditions, which greatly tested their situational awareness, technical and tactical (战术上的) capabilities.

The first solo flight also involved challenging operations such as hovering at maximum angular speed (角速度). It tests pilots ' ability to master the boundary performance of the aircraft and how to control the aircraft accurately, providing a solid foundation for them to achieve tactical intention in the later air combat.

“We are honored to be part of the first group of female pilots flying J-11B fighter jets but it was also a test for us. Though we're weak in physical strength compared with men, flying these jets is not about arm wrestling. What matters is decision-making and control of the jets." Said Yan Zhongyue, one of the pilots from Xi'an Flying College of the Chinese People's Liberation Amy (PLA) Air Force.

Following their first fight in the J-11B. they will receive training on formation flying. low-altitude and air combat training before they will participate into front line combat units this year. Training female fighter pilots is an important measure to strengthen the quality of the Air Force's talent pool. The move is designed to shorten training cycles for third generation fighters' pilots. “We have proved that female pilots can do the same things as men, we can operate heavy combat fighters.

In Jakarta, apart from the narrow, unpaved road, the two-meter-high concrete coastal wall is the only thing that separates Susan's small restaurant from the sea. Her family depends on that wall. Growing up here, Susan used to play on the beach in front of her house. But by the 2000s the beach had disappeared, and the sea frequently flooded the neighborhood.

In 2002, the government built the coastal wall, to give the residents peace of mind and time-a respite (暂缓) from the steady sinking of the land under the city and the steady rising of the sea. But just five years later, in 2007, the wall proved no match for the worst floods in Jakarta's modem history.

Jakarta is now sinking at a truly alarming rate-a rate that varies around the city but is up to 11 inches a year in the northern areas. About 40 percent of Jakarta is below sea 1level. By comparison, climate change is raising sea level by only less than an inch a year. But sinking land and rising sea both point toward the same outcome: regular flooding in Jakarta. "Jakarta is the center of administration, economy, culture, and entertainment. Over the years Jakarta has grown into a big city with no environmental support system.” says Andy, a lecturer at the University of Indonesia. Ultimately that's why it is sinking today.

The situation is one reason the government announced that the nation's capital would be moved away to a new city to be built on Bomeo, which is now forest. But local communities aren't so happy with the plan. They fear the project would destroy their land, forest, and livelihoods. In Jakarta, on the other hand, those who welcome the decision arguing that it will ease Jakarta's burdens of crowding and pollution.

But as the government leaves the sinking capital, what is to become of the 10 million people like Susan who still live there?

28. What is the function of the coastal wall?

A. To prevent the land from sinking.

B. To keep the residents from floods.

C. To stop the steady rising of the sea.

D. To restore the beach for the residents.

29. What can we learn about the floods from Paragraph 3?

A. The floods were caused by nature and humans.

B. Climate change is the primary cause of the floods.

C. The rise of the sea level is the outcome of regular flooding.

D. The economic development has a great impact on the floods.

30. What can be learned from the passage about Jakarta?

A. It is no longer the nation's capital now.

B. It is an underdeveloped city with a large population.

C. Its residents suffer a lot from the plan of the government.

D. Its measures to protect the environment are far from satisfactory.

31. What is the author's attitude to the plan of the government?

A. Intolerant.

B. Supportive.

C. Worried.

D. Indifferent.

D

"Mona Lisa's" famous smile is routinely described as ambiguous. But is it really that hard to read? Apparently not. In an unusual trial, close to 100 percent of people described her expression as "happy".

The "Mona Lisa” is often held up as a symbol of emotional mystery. Kommeier, the German scientist, and a team used it in a study of factors that influence how humans judge visual clues such as facial expressions. Using a copy of the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, the team moved the model's mouth comers slightly up and down to create eight altered images. They created four “happier" and four "sadder” "Mona Lisas"

A block of nine images were shown to 12 trial participants 30 times. In every showing the pictures were randomly rearranged. Then participants had to describe each of the nine images as happy or sad.

“Given the descriptions from art and art history, we thought that the original would be the most ambiguous,” Kommeier said. Instead, “we found that Da Vinci's original was perceived as happy in 97 percent of cases.

The second experiment involved the original "Mona Lisa” with eight "sadder" versions. These were given even more subtle ( 微妙的) differences in the lip tilt (倾斜). In this test, the original was still described as happy. However, participants' reading of the other images changed "They were perceived a little sadder than in the first experiment, "said Kommeier.

The findings confirm that “we don't have an absolute fixed scale of happiness and sadness in our brain"-and that a lot depends on context, the researcher explained. Understanding this process may be useful in the study of psychiatric ( 精神病学的) disorders. As for the masterpiece itself, the team believe their work has finally settled a centuries -old question.

32. What does the underlined word “ambiguous” mean in the first paragraph?

A. Strange.

B. Happy.

C. Sad.

D. Unclear.

33. What is the purpose of the study 1ed by Kommeier?

A. To create copies of altered images.

B. To answer a centuries- old question.

C. To analyze what affect humans' visual judgement.

D. To describe the ambiguous smile of the masterpiece.

34. What can we learn from the first experiment?

A. The experiment was randomly arranged.

B. The result proved the original assumption.

C. The copies differed in "Mona Lisa's" mouth comer.

D. Altogether 30 different images were shown to the participants.

35. What will Kommeier agree according to the findings?

A. Humans' visual judgement will change with context.

B. Humans are better at recognizing happiness than sadness.

C. “Mona Lisa's” smile is related with psychiatric disorders.

D. The study result can be used to treat patients with mental disorders.

It was a rather crowded day at the subway station. Seeing the busy passers-by stopped by his performance, Eric, a music lover who just graduated from college, wore a big smile on his face.

With deep passion for music, he showed up in the station in his spare time, singing and playing the guitar to people travelling to and from the subway station.

With the melodious (悦耳的) song coming to an end, hearty applause burst out. As usual, Eric expressed his gratitude, nodding his head with a smile. “Man, awesome! An outstanding performance!” Approached a man, holding the hand of a little girl in a ponytail (马尾辫)，aged about four.

“Park, a producer of a record company. The man introduced himself, holding out his hand. "Would you like to give it a try in my company?” Out of politeness, Eric shook hands with him in amazement.

“I haven't seen somebody this good in a long time! You are a beautiful scenery of this city, with such a beautiful voice!" Park admired. Suddenly, a phone call interrupted their conversation. Park briefly invited Eric to meet later in the same place and walked away to answer the call. Seeing Park off, Eric did realize what had happened, with warm current flowing from his head to toes. It was the first time that he had earned such kind of recognition, which was totally out of his expectation.

"A beautiful scenery of the city, with a beautiful voice!” Eric repeated the words, cleaning his guitar and preparing for the next performance. At that time, he caught sight of a little girl in a ponytail standing in a comer, weeping and looking around. Carrying his guitar, Eric approached her and squatted (蹲) down, “What' s wrong with you, honey?”

1.续写词数应为150左右;

Version 1

"I can't find my daddy.” The girl burst out crying. Seeing her weep turning into the helpless cry, Eric looked around nervously. “How to find her father in such a crowd?” Suddenly, the office of the subway station came into view. Having packed up his things, Eric squeezed his way to the office, holding her tiny hand. There he informed the staff of the situation. After the broadcast, the girl still cried, with her eyes swollen. At the sight of the guitar, it hit Eric that music might comfort the anxious girl. Soon, a beautiful voice lingered around the room.

The girl calmed down in Eric 's song when a man rushed into the office of the subway station. “Daddy, I am here! ”The little girl screamed, throwing herself to her daddy's arms and cracked a big smile. Casting a glance to the man, Eric recognized that it was Park. Knowing the whole story, Park conveyed his gratitude: “You are truly a beautiful scenery of the city, not only with your beautiful voice, but with your heart, actually. " He added, “Again, would you like to join our company? "This time Eric answered with a smile, "That's a deal.” (169 words)

Version 2

“I can't find my daddy.” The girl burst out crying. Eric was softly comforting her when he suddenly noticed the office of the subway station. He thought he'd better take the girl there and broadcast the message, which may help find her parents. But the appointment with Park crossed his mind. “What if I miss the meeting with Park?” Shaking his head, Eric gently took the girl's hand, headed to the office and turned to the staff for help. Looking at the tearful girl, Eric hit upon an idea. Clearing his throat, he took up his guitar.

The girl calmed down in Eric's song when a man rushed into the office of the subway station. “Daddy!” the little girl shouted excitedly and threw herself to the man like a little merry bird. To Eric's surprise, it was Park! He met him again, in such an occasion! “I thought that I may not have the chance to meet you again.” said Eric, with a shy smile. “Glad to see you again. Thank you so much!” Park replied with gratitude. “Daddy. Eric sings beautiful songs.” “Yes, honey.” Park said, “Eric sings beautiful songs because he has a beautiful heart. " (169 words)
