3."I ask you to drink to his health as a young man full of the spirit of adventure who has lit up the world with a flash of courage. "With these words, the British Minister of Air turned and raised his glass to the young man who sat beside him-a young man who, only a month before, was completely unknown. Yet on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world's lips-Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone.He had been an air mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $5, 000 prize offered by a fellow American for the first flight form. New York to Paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for him.The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. The plane would never fly, people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyds of London refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the "flying fool".But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis", heavily laden with fuel, struggled into the air from a New York airfield. For several hours the weight of the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-tops. Night came and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active. Throughout the next day the "Spirit of St. Louis" flew on over the seemingly limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and, an hour later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris.By ten o'clock the lights of France's capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaved, suddenly hungry, the "flying fool" came down to Le Bourget airport, and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous piloting, the flight of 3, 600 miles was over.1. The British Minister of Air _____.A. praised Lindbergh for his intelligenceB. encouraged Lindbergh to be more adventurousC. congratulated Lindbergh for his braveryD. warned Lindbergh not to fly alone2. "… his name was on the world's lips"means _____.A. "Everybody was drinking to his health"B. "Everybody was jumping about because of him"C. "He became suddenly unpopular"D. "Everybody was talking about him"3. A group of St. Louis businessmen had been persuaded to _____ the building of a special plane.A. arrangeB. organizeC. stopD. pay for4. Which of the following is true? _____A. Nobody at all believed that it was foolish for anybody to try to fly the Atlantic.B. Everybody knew that Lindbergh was very brave and adventurous.C. People didn't believe that Lindbergh really meant to fly the Atlantic alone.D. Everybody believed that it was foolish for anybody to try to fly the Atlantic at all.5. The "Spirit of St. Louis" here refers to _____.A. the plane Lindbergh flew inB. the"flying fool"C. the hope of the people of St. LouisD. the city of St. Louis

    Severe turbulence(湍流)can kill aircraft passengers. Now,in test flights over the Rocky
    Mountains , NASA(美国航空航天局)engineers have successfully detected clear-air turbulence up to 10 seconds before an aircraft hits it.
    Clear-air turbulence often catches pilots by surprise.Invisible to radar,it is difficult to forecast and can hurl(用力抛出去)passengers about the cabin. In December 1 997 , one passenger died and a hundred others were injured when unexpected rough air caused a United Airlines flight over the Pacific to drop 300 meters in a few seconds.
    However,passengers can avoid serious injury by fastening their seatbelts.“It is the only antidote(对策)for this sort of thing,”says Rod Bogue,project manager at NASA's Dryden Flight
    Research Center in Edwards,California.
    The centre's new turbulence detector is based on lidar,or laser radar. Laser pulses are sent ahead of the plane and these are then reflected back by particles in the air. The technique depends on the Doppler effect.The wavelength of the light shifts according to the speed at which the particles are approaching. In calm air,the speed equals the plane's airspeed.But as the particles swirl(打漩)in rough air,their speed of approach increases or decreases rapidly .The rate of change in speed corresponds to the severity(激烈程度)of the turbulence.
    In a series of tests that began last month,a research jet flew repeatedly into disturbed air over the mountain ridges(山脉)near Pueblo , Colorado. The lidar detector spotted turbulence between 3 and 8 kilometers ahead,and its forecasts of strength and duration corresponded closely with the turbulence that the plane encountered.
    Bogue says that he had“a comfortable amount of time”to fasten his seatbelt. The researchers are planning to improve the lidar's range with a more powerful beam.The system could be installed on commercial aircraft in the next few years.

    We can infer from the fifth paragraph that______.
    A: the lidar detector can successfully forecast turbulence
    B: researchers are not sure about the effectiveness of the lidar detector
    C: passenger planes will be used in further experiments
    D: no more test flights are needed

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题问的是“clear-air turbulence”在文中指什么?turbulence的意思就是湍流,根据第二段第二句的说法,clear-air turbulence指的是雷达无法测到的一种turbulence,所以选项B为正确答案。


    该题问的是1997年12月联合航空公司的一架班机在碰到这种气流后,遭遇了什么结果?原文讲到造成一人死亡,多人受伤,据此判断,损失惨重,故选C。


    此题问气流探测器通过测量什么来判断它的激烈程度?第四段最后一句说“The rate of change in speed corresponds to the severity(激烈程度)of the turbulence.”所以选项 D为正确答案。


    此题要求根据第五段的信息判断下面哪句话是正确的。显然,选项A符合原文的意思,为正确答案。


    此题是根据最后一段的第二句“The researchers are planning to improve the lidar's range with a more powerful beam.”出的题,这句的意思是说,研究人员正计划采用功能更强大的光束来提高雷达的侧定范围。据此可以判断,雷达尚需改进,故A为正确答案。

  • 第16题:

    It was Ann′s first experience of flying..She had always been afraid of heights and so was prepared?to be frightened.Only the fact that she was going to meet her son who she had not seen for?three years had given her the courage to make the flight.
    She sat in her seat,her hands gripping its arms,her seat belt already fastened.The air hostess?was talking,telling everyone what to do in case of emergency,showing them where their life-jackets?were.The plane was crowded,and every seat was full.From her window seat,getting out in a hurry?would be impossible,thought Ann.In any case who would want to get out of a plane in mid-air?
    The engines began to shake--the noise increased till it was like a great rushing wind.She?looked out to see the runway slip past at astonishing speed.She wanted to cry out--to stop the plane?before it left the ground,but she knew she was trapped in this great roaring machine.I must scream,she told herself,and put her hands over her eyes.
    There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift.The noise died down.Carefully she?opened her eyes.Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above,so beautiful that she?stared in wonder,hardly turning away from the window till they touched down.


    Why did Ann want to scream?《》()

    A.Because the plane didn't leave the ground.
    B.Because she couldn't make the plane stop.
    C.Because she couldn't hear the wind.

    The Center's new turbulence detector is based on lidar,or laser-radar.Laser pulses are sent ahead of the plane and these are then reflected back by particles in the air.The technique depends on the Doppler Effect(多普勒效应).The wavelength of the light shifts according to the speed at which the particles are approaching.In calm air,the speed equals the plane's airspeed.But as the particles swirl(打漩) in rough air,their speed of approach increases or decreases rapidly.The rate of change in speed corresponds to the severity(激烈程度)of the turbulence.
    In a series of tests that began last month,a research jet flew repeatedly into、 disturbed air over the mountain ridges(山脉)near Pueblo , Colorado.The lidar detector spotted turbulence between 3 and 8 kilometers ahead, and its forecasts of strength and duration corresponded closely with the turbulence that the plane encountered.
    Bogue says that he had"a comfortable amount of time"to fasten his seatbelt.The researchers are planning to improve the lidar's range with a more powerful beam.The system could be installed on commercial aircraft in the next few years.

    The last paragraph tells us,among other things,that_____.
    A:the lidar detector needs improvement
    B:many airlines are interested in the system
    C:passengers often forget to fasten their seatbelts
    D:the lidar detector can be used in a wide range of areas

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第二段第三句,再结合上文可知,clear-air turbulence指的是第二段第三段中的“unexpectedrough air",又由于disturbed与rough意义相近,故选B。
    根据二段最后一句可知,1997年12月份的晴空湍流导致1人死亡、100人受伤,可以说是造成了很多伤亡。
    根据第四段最后一句可知,晴空湍流的强度与微粒速度的变化有关。
    根据第五段最后一句可知,激光雷达探测器能够探测到前方3千米到8千米之间的晴空湍流,并且预测的晴空湍流的强度和持续时间与真实情况相符。这说明激光雷达探测器能成功地预测晴空湍流。
    根据最后一段第二句可知,研究人员正计划改善激光雷达探测器,准备使用更强的电脉冲来提升激光雷达探测器的探测范围。
