Chen Nianxi has been living a literary dream for most of his life.Chen was bomn in the mountains of Shaanxi.Inspired by newspapers and literary joumals,Chen wrote his first pocm in high school. After high school,Chen farmed and got married.To make a living for the whole family,he took up mining,which paid well.For more than 15 years,he worked hard during the day,while reading and writing poems at night. Accidents took the lives of several other miners,as well as the hearing in his right ear.Darkness, fear and loneliness filled his work as a miner.His experience in the mines was the source of inspiration for his poems,making him stand out in modern Chinese literature.He has published several well-received books so far. Although the heavy load of life weighed on him,Chen's poetry has a feeling of hope and strength.He writes about labor )loving labor and living a life filled with love,reminding us that no matter how hard life gets,we shouldn't forget our dreams.Drawing people's attention to the everyday struggles()of laboring workers is also very important to him.He hopes that his work will help modem people open their minds to the lives of others and remind them to look downward sometimes. 49.What makes Chen Nianxi a special poet? A.His special poetic style. B.His poor family background. C.His experience as a miner. D.His love for writing poetry at night. 50.What's the main message Chen Nianxi's poems express?

A.Secrets of writing poems B.Rich in the life,rich in the pen C.Finding light in the darkness D.Shaped by the heavy load of life C Have you ever imagine flying over the city in an air taxi that has no pilot?Do you believe it can take you from place to place in minutes?It sounds like science fiction,right?Well,not anymore. An electric vertical take-off and landing(eVTOL)aircraft,also known as an air taxi,completed its first inter-city demonstration flight in Guangdong on February 27.The eVTOL aircraft started its joumey from Shekou Cruise Homeport in Shenzhen to Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai,completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 九年级英语第6页共12页 minutes.This flight marks an important development of this exciting new form of transport. EVTOLrra use high technology to take ofand land straight up and down like a helicopter ()which doesn't need long runways.Instead of using combustion engines,these air taxis use elctrimotors(电动机).They as have special fanscaled propellers(螺旋桨)all over their bodies to help them stay balanced in the air.In addition,lithium-ion batteries (are used to store electricity,letting them fly far and fast. Some air taxis,like the EH216-S from China's Ehang,can fly without a pilot.They are onroed by a centa ommdener that keeps an eyeon the fight,the route and the weather. There is no doubt that air taxis can help improve heavy traffic.They travel point to point, saving time for people who work in the city but live far away.As an eco-friendly choice,air taxis produce fewer emissions (than oil-powered cars,improving city air quality.What's more,air taxis require less space for takeoff and landing.That is to say,it can help cities use their space better and save money on building big airports. However,eVTOLs also require special places to take off and land,which means they need eVTOL airports called"vertiports".Now researchers are trying to make full use of the present small airfields to serve as"vertiports".And with plans to fly at low heights in cities,there's still much work to be done to keep everyone safe. 53.Why does the writer use the questions in Paragraph 1?
