Did you know that the average child has heard the word \"no\" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The \"terrible twos\" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of \"NOs\".
By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.
Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the \"NOs\" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?
The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES! 4. What do we know about two- year- olds?
A. They understand well. B. They often say no to others. C. They think logically. D. They don't do all they're told. 5. What effect does saying no have on children?
A. They lose all their dreams. B. They aren't easy to succeed.
C. They don't make mistakes. D. They never say yes to others. 6. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of \"NOs\"?
A. Tolerant. B. Disapproving. C. Favorable. D. Carefree. 7. What is the text?
A. A how-to guide. B. A survey report. C. An opinion essay. D. A short story.

While space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.
Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.
The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.
Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.
If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars. 8. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?
A. It is equal to the space exploration. B. It is well developed.
C. It deserves more attention and devotion. D. It is beyond our knowledge. 9. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans? A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms. B. Preventing the world getting warmer. C. Mapping the global ocean floor. D. Removing salt from sea water.
10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium. B. Solving the existing problems is more significant. C. The space exploration is worth the efforts. D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring. 11. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Oceans, the Last Hope. B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure. C. Space, the Final Frontier. D. Space, the Faraway Dream.

The history of the flying car is almost as old as that of powered flight itself. It started with the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, an awkward-looking machine with removable wings. It never left the ground. Later machines made it into the skies but failed to take off commercially. Money is now pouring into flying taxis. On March 30th Lilium, a German company that develops them, announced a merger with SPAC, an acquisition company that values it at $3. 3 bn -- a sign that investors think the business will fly.
Thanks to better batteries and lightweight materials, some of them are ready to carry passengers. Up to 300 firms are working on short-range battery-powered craft that take off and land vertically. Carmakers, tech companies and others are investing money into the field. The government isoffering a glide pathto certification.America's Federal Aviation Administration is engaged in the process with around 30 firms, says Natasha Santha of LEK, a consulting company.
Midway between a cab and a helicopter, flying taxis have distinct advantages over both. Quiet electric motors allow them to operate frequent services. They require only a patch of concrete to land, unlike noisy helicopters, which face severe operating restrictions in most cities. They can fly four or five times faster than a cab can drive and do not get stuck in traffic. Prices can be kept low by ride-sharing. Joby, based inCalifornia, says its five-seater machine will enter commercial service in 2024. The firm calculates the initial cost of around $4 per person per
mile may soon fall by 25%. A trip fromManhattanto JFK airport would then cost $30-40 per passenger.
The real revolution will come when full autonomy takes out the cost of a pilot. Archer hopes to run such aircraft by 2028. They face fewer obstacles in the air than earth-bound cars do on the road; airliners mostly fly on autopilot as it is. Still, as one industry insider puts it, it is probably best to accustom passengers and regulators to airborne taxis before getting rid of the driver. 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. The flying car can date back to the 1920s.
B. Investors see the potential of the business of the flying car. C. The flying car never left the ground successfully in history. D. A German company has launched a new flying car into the market. 13. What does \"offering a glide path\" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Giving the green light. B. Providing timely assistance. C. Presenting legal guidance. D. Conducting strict management. 14. Which of the following is the strength of flying taxis?
A. Costing as little as cabs. B. Saving passengers from the traffic jam. C. Reducing air pollution. D. Having no operating restrictions. 15. What can be inferred about the flying taxis from the last paragraph? A. They will develop faster than cars.
B. Passengers will quickly get used to taking them. C. The regulators will take measures to promote them. D. Autopilot flying taxis will probably replace those with pilots. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others.___16___
Let me start with the idea of giving generously.___17___For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “ thank you ”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used, and I suppose we are. But when we give, we shouldn't be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude or praise.___18___
The good news is that when we lead our lives being nice toothers,our lives run more smoothly. If you're generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will
improve.
___19___I truly believe that you cannot say \"thank you\" enough when you receive. So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Do you think it unnecessary to thank them when receiving just because a task is part of someone's job description? That's wrong!
Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves likenothing else. It's good for us to say \"thank you\" because we regularly need to remind ourselves of how lucky we are.___20___
If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one：Give generously and receive gratefully. A. Thus,saying \"thank you” can bring us good luck. B. Rather, we should be giving because it's a good thing. C. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days. D. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. E. In return, we are to help others by giving them our time or money, F. I think people are unwilling to be generous to others for fear of being used. G. Yet, why do we have such difficulty achieving these things in our relationships?
