B From ancient times to today, poets have been seen as romantic (浪漫的), well-educated and full of feelings. Can you imagine that a miner (矿工), born in a mountain village with only a high school diploma (文凭), doing the hardest and most dangerous work in a mine, could write moving poems? Chen Nianxi has been living a literary (文学) dream for most of his life. Chen was born in the mountains of Shaanxi. Inspired (激励) by newspapers and literary journals, Chen wrote his first poem 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 quite 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 (负担) 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.

On this day, people in about 170 countries take part in activities to try to make the Internet a safer place for children and young people. Safer Internet Day celebrates all the great things about being online. We can use the Internet to learn new things, video call family members who live far away, chat with friends, listen to music, watch videos and play games. ________ For example, online bullying (霸凌) has recently become a hot topic. What is online bullying? It is when someone uses the Internet to make another person feel bad, often with bad messages on messaging apps or social media. Online bullying can also happen in games when players post unkind messages in the chat box. What do people usually do on Safer Internet Day in the UK? Children often do activities at school, at home and in other places. They do small tests, read stories, watch films, make posters and have discussions about how to stay safe online. Here are some tips on how to stay safe online: 1. If you see something online that makes you scared or worried, or if you know that someone is being bullied, tell a parent, a teacher, or other adults who you trust. If someone is unkind while you are playing a game, an adult can help you report that player. 2. Don’t meet people who you only know online. It’s possible that some people you meet online may make up stories. It can be dangerous to go to meet them in real life. 3. Don’t believe everything you read online! Not everything you read online is true. When you look for information, make sure that you use a website you can trust. And only share things with your friends if you know that they are true. 43.

Stay safer online D. Safer Internet Day in the UK D That future is almost here. “I think it’s going to happen. Without doubt, in ten years...and hopefully much, much faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2024. At that time, his young company was working on developing a flying car known as eVTOL, or electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicle (车辆). Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. Not only is it fun to fly, but “there would never be heavy traffic again, because the sky is very, very large,” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. “We go much faster, we go in a straight line, and we fly on less energy,” he says. So far, though, flying cars haven’t become successful as a product. Will that day come? There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won’t be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis so that people could pay to ride. The main problem with flying cars is safety. Accidents in the air are dangerous to both the passengers and anyone on the ground beneath. To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot required. Another problem is space. Most planes need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter (直升机) solves this problem. But eVTOLs still need special spaces, called vertiports, for take-off and landing. Finding places to put these could be tricky, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could stay on top of buildings. What do you think? Would you enjoy riding to school or visiting a friend in a self-flying taxi? Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the future? 48. What is Sebastian Thrun’s opinion about the future of flying cars? A. He thinks it will never happen in the future. B. He thinks it will happen in the next century. C. He is not sure about the future of flying cars. D. He believes it will happen in ten years and hopefully faster. 49. What does the underlined word “tricky” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Increased. B. Simple. C. Challenging. D. Involved. 50. Why are some companies developing flying cars as air taxis? A. To solve safety problems. B. To make them cheaper. C. To provide rides for people. D. To compete with common cars. 51. What is the probable structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 52. What can we infer according to the passage? A. Flying cars can help to protect the environment. B. Most of the common human pilots will lose their jobs. C. Flying cars must be a success if the space problem is solved. D Everyone will take a flying car to work or school in the future.
