It is designed to transport one passenger, weighing up to 100 kilograms, and a small piece of luggage.The head of Dubai's Roads and Transportation Authority said the autonomoustaxi has already being tested in the city state. He said regular service is expected to be here by July. The egg-shaped aircraft can reach a top speed of160 kilometers per hour. It can operate for up to 30 minutes on a single battery charge, with a flying range of 50 kilometers.A video demonstration(示范) of the air taxi showed the whole trip being automated. Drones can be requested through an app to arrive at an approved pickup location. The passenger then climbs in and enters the desired destination intoa device built into the seat. The auto-piloted aircraft then powers up, takesoff and heads to the drop-off location.Officials from EHang said all movements and functions of the drone will be monitored by people in a “Command and Control Center” on the ground. The person inside the aircraft will also be able to communicate with the command center if needed.EHang said it has done major testing on its 184 vehicle in China over thepast few years. It has also developed and sold several drone models controlledby remote devices to consumers.The company has said the drones could have other uses apart from carrying passengers in the air in busy cities. They could also help in emergency rescue operations or deliver human organs.Dubai is the commercial capital of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf. Officials there have long been pushing to adopt high-tech transportation alternatives. The ruler of the city state has said by 2030, atleast 25 percent of all passenger trips are to be completed with driverless4vehicles.25.How far can the aircraft fly at most on a single battery and back?A. 80 kilometers.B. 50 kilometers.C. 40 kilometers.D. 20kilometers.26.

People seem to think that they know what kind of persona “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?Journal of Personality and Social According to a study published in the Psychology, humans tend to associate people's names with their appearances, and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collectedthousands of photos of people's faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seemsthat certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone's name, Reader's Digest reported.However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames(昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person's appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.“This kind of face-name matching happens because of a process ofself-fulfilling prophecy(预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from Tile university told science news website EurekAlert. Earlier studies have shown that gender(性别) and race stereotypes(刻板印 5象) can affect a person's appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate”and “female”, just like the flower they are named after.29. How is this article developed?A. By doing an experiment.B. By asking questions.C. By giving examples.D. By comparing different cases.30. Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo?A. They want to please everyone around them.B. They don't want to be different from others.C. They tend to become what others expect them to become.D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name.31. What may be the best title for this passage?A. What determines our namesB. How stereotypes affect people'slooksC. How we get rid of our stereotypesD. Why we look like our namesDFor as long as we've known about it, humans have searched for a cure forcancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spenton researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a government agencythat's responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法)that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力) cells ofsick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down”cancer cells.The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get ridof the patient's leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the onlyoption for many leukemia patients.In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed6into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.But with a recovery rate of around 83% — according to a news release publishedby the FDA — it's hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.“We're entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新) with the abilityto reprogram a patient's own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDArepresentative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”32. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A. To compare different ways of curing leukemia.B. To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.C. To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.D. To show scientists' efforts in search of a cure for cancer.33. How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work?A. By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells.B. By replacing sick blood cells with healthy onesC. By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant.D. By using chemotherapy to improve the patient's immune system.34. What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers?A. It can save them many more trips to the hospital.B. It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.C. It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.D. It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant.35. What is Scott Gottlieb's attitude toward gene and cell therapies?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Worried.D.Casual.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
