Text 4 You might soon be able to sneak down to the cargo hold for a nap the next time you take an ultra-long fiight.That's the idea being fioated by plane manufacturer Airbus and seatmaker Zodiac Aerospace.The companies say they're working to develop"sleeping berths"that could be installed in the cargo holds of certain long-range Airbus aircraft.Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace say the cargo compartment modules would"offer new opportunities for additional services to passengers,improving their experience while enabling airlines to differentiate and add value for their commercial operations."The companies say they hope to offer the option to airlines for orders beginning in 2020.Initially,the sleeper modules would be offered on Airbus'A330 widebodies,either on new deliveries or with an option to retrofit existing aircraft.Decisions on how to market and sell such options are typically left up to airline customers.Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace did not detail any specific concepts,but it's likely passenger carriers would consider several options.One might include selling access for passengers sitting elsewhere on the plane,presumably letting them pay for several hours-or perhaps an entire flight's worth-of time in the sleepers.Some higher-end carriers might explore the idea as a possibility to add a lounge area,where one of the perks could be a nap.Airbus and Zodiac offered several concepts in mock-ups accompanying their press statement.One shows a standard lounge;others show options that include a conference room,a"kids and family zone"and even a"medical care zone."Absent additional details,the berths are unlikely to become an option for the entire duration of a flight.Safety rules require passengers to be buckled into seats during takeoff and landing,and it's not clear whether such an option would be available in a cargo area of sleeper berths.It also seems unlikely that a passenger would want to commit to a sleeper berth for flights of eight hours or more without a dedicated option for upright seating,or windows."These underfloor sleeping berths would be aimed more towards economy class market,and would be available for a lower price for a passenger than a premium class flatbed seat."Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace touted the ease of installation to carriers,saying modules would be"easily interchangeable with regular cargo containers during a typical turnaround if required.Moreover,the aircraft's cargo fioor and cargo loading system will not be affected at all,as the passenger module will sit directly on it."For now,Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace will test the market to gauge interest.40.From the last paragraph,it can be inferred thatA.it remains to be seen whether the sleeping berth will be welcome to most peopleB.the sleeping berth is favoured over all airlines for its ease ofinstallation.C.the sleeping berth will be served for a lower price than a first class seat.D.cargo loading system will be influenced by the installation of the sleeping berth.

共用题干第三篇The Balance between Fluency and AccuracyTo be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past.People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.As a result,their spoken English might not improve.This means that,although they know English grammar and vocabulary well,they might not be able to hold a good conversation.On the other hand,there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly.But,if they make a lot of mistakes,it may make it difficult for them to have their ideas understood.The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.How can we be sure that we can develop both?The following tips could help.Find the problem.What kind of person are you一one who focuses on accuracy or one who focuses on frequency?The first step is to recognize your problem and go to work on it.Think about situations where you've used English and how you felt about making mistakes?Do you always try some new language even though it might not be correct?Or do you feel embarrassed by mistakes?Focus on one problem at a time.When you speak English,find the mistakes you make most often.One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the"S"from the third person singular verb.Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English,try to work on those problems you have identified.If it's fluency,try to focus on it.If you have a problem with the third person singular,try to concentrate on when you make such errors.Don't spend time thinking about other mistakes.By choosing an area to work on,you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.Vary your practice.If you go to an English corner or an English club,try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy.Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language.Meanwhile,discussions are good practice for fluency,especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made.Tell the difference between fluency and speed.Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently.In fact,speaking fluently involves not only speed.It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these,speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.Record yourself. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or talk to yourself as you do it naturally!A two-or-three-minute recording is enough.When you've finished,listen to yourself. Can you find out any error and correct it?Make it a regular practice.The more you record yourself,the more confident and natural sounding you will become.Who are likely to feel nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public?A:Those who focus on fluency.B:Those who focus on accuracy.C:Those who speaks fast.D:Those who record themselves.

Text 3 That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché.But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully：There’s never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient.The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read:“Give up TV”or“Carry a book with you at all times”But in my experience,using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work.Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last thing you need.The modern mind,Tim Parks,a novelist and critic,writes,“is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted;it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”.Deep reading requires not just time,but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact,“becoming more efficient”is part of the problem.Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally,judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading,by contrast,depends on being willing to risk inefficiency,goallessness,even time-wasting.Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful,sometimes,but not the most fulfilling kind.“The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,”writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time,and“we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles（days,hours,minutes）as they pass,for if they get by without being filled,we will have wasted them”.No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.So what does work?Perhaps surprisingly,scheduling regular times for reading.You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set,but in fact,Eberle notes,such ritualistic behaviour helps us“step outside time’s flow”into“soul time”.You could limit distractions by reading only physical books,or on single-purpose e-readers.“Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work,too-providing you dip in often enough,so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business,before dropping back down.On a really good day,it no longer feels as if you’re“making time to read,”but just reading,and making time for everything else.“Carry a book with you at all times”can work if______A.reading becomes your primary business of the dayB.all the daily business has been promptly dealt withC.you are able to drop back to business after readingD.time can be evenly split for reading and business

共用题干第二篇 Across the English Channel To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as youre not held up at the airport),but its an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you dreams of being able to drive to France in your own car.Not possible,you say.Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）?Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused dockland（船坞地）.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel,you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!If they built a Channel tunnel,you would________.A:neither take a train nor go by carB:either take a train or go by carC:only take a trainD:only take a bus
