RobbieC. MalcolmD. NatCFlights are often canceled for many different reasons, including snow, clouds, or even a bird getting caught in an airplane’s engine(发动机). But you’d never think that too muchsunshine would stop a plane from taking off.Unluckily for passengers in Phoenix, US this summer, their travel plans went dead when more than 40 flights in and out of the local airport were canceled after temperatures went as high as 48℃. This is the highest temperature that many smaller planes are allowed to fly at.So what is it that makes flight in great heat so dangerous? The answer lies in how”thick”, the air is.“ As air warms up, it expands(膨胀), and there’s fewer molecules(分子) under your wings,” Lou McNally, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US, told the Associated Press(AP).When the temperature is high and the air becomes thin, “you need more of everything. You need more thrust（推力）to take off. You need more distance to take distance to take off. You need more distance to land. It gets to a point for some aircraft that it gets just too much,”McNally explained.The US’ Southwest, where Phoenix is located, is experiencing an unexpectedly hot summer.This June was its third-hottest on record. According to The Guardian, up to 10 people arethought to have died as a result of the hot weather.The unexpected heat attacked airlines（航空公司）too, causing them to cancel all flights running on smaller planes for the safety of their passengers.But what about cities whose temperatures are high every summer?Many airplanes in hot Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates make many flights at night or in the early morning to avoid the problem of thin air, according to AP. They also mainly use larger planes, which are able to fly in greater heat than smaller planes.After the temperature in Phoenix continued to climb over 40℃all through the rest of the summer, maybe now would be a good time for airlines to buy bigger planes in time for next year’s heat wave.31.When the weather is too hot, .A.planes are more likely to break downB.planes need more power and distance to take offC.there is much more air under the wings of a planeD.it takes less time for planes to take off and land32.How do airplanes in Gulf countries deal with high temperatures?A.They make many flights at midday.B.They mainly use small planes.C.They build long runways for planes.D.They make fewer flights at midday.33.What’s the article mainly about?A.Flight accidents caused by great heat.B.Perfect flying conditions for aircraft.C.How dangerous the flights are in hot weather.D.How hot weather influences flights.DThe most awful words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee andstaring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That’s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline(航空公司)flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.34.The best title for the article is _______.A．The Most Awful Words B．When the Computer Is DownC．The Computer of the Airport D．Asking the Computer35.

It seems like we’re always being reminded to recycle, or to ride a bike instead of taking a taxi.However, it isn’t just rubbish and traffic that can cause harm to the environment.According to a recent study by the University of California, published by the journal Science Advances, fertilizer(化肥) in farm soils is a major contribution to smog in nearby cities. According to the research, agricultural soils make up of 25 to 41 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions(氮氧化物排放) in California. Nitrogen oxide, or NOx, is a major cause in smog formation.“Emissions of NOx from agricultural areas are much higher than we used to believe and could be a major source(来源) of NOx statewide,” the researchers wrote in the study.Just like fertilized farmland, there are many other things that we wouldn’t expect to have a huge influence on the environment. Take clothes for example. Data(数据) published by the World Wildlife Foundation says that every kilogram of cotton takes around 10,000 liters of water to produce.This means that it takes around 6,000-8,000 liters of water just to create a single pair of jeans, not to mention the carbon produced when they’re made in the factory and then transported to a store.And even what we choose to eat could be bad for the planet.In a 2014 study carried out by a professor in New York, US, it was found that beef farming could be causing more harm to the environment than all of the planet’s cars.So does this mean that we should all stop buying jeans and eating beef? That would certainly help, although it’s not a practical goal.Instead, a few simple changes could be made. For example, there’s no need to buy new jeans every year when a good pair can last much longer than that.And when it comes to food, taking the place of the beef in our dishes with chicken or pork every now and then will still mean they taste as delicious.Indeed, small actions could make a huge difference to our planet.七、完成句子59.当被发现这个机器人质量不合格，它被退回了商店。
