主题语境提分练二十六　人与社会之社会进步与人类文明(二) 分值:47.5分 Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共17.5分) (2022·浙江1月卷) For nearly a decade now,Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist.Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis (危机) in the late 2000s.The downturn hit the real estate (房地产) firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager.The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost.She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it.This was a loving home for sure, but 1,600 miles away.It didn't take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself.It was her first road trip to her new job. Merebeth's pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly.If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there.She travels in all weathers.She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas. This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says.He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.  It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year before tax.She doesn't work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning.As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning.It's a call she must handle alone, though.Merebeth says,“When I am on the road, I'm just in my own world.I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.” 1.Why did Merebeth change her job? She wanted to work near her home. She was tired of working in the office. Her sister asked her to move to Denver. Her former employer was out of business. 2.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to 　　　　.  make money try various jobs be close to nature travel to different places 3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job? She has chances to see rare animals. She works hard throughout the year. She relies on herself the whole time. She earns a basic and tax-free salary. (2020·天津卷) Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet.While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050.If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinking.Fortunately, there's plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights powered by batteries. Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30,000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year.Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines.“As an airline, we're currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes,” says CEO Greg McDougall.To make this happen,the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the world's first commercial flight with an electric engine. Making the skies electric isn't just good for the environment; it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on conventional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one costs $8-12 for the same distance, and that's before you factor in the higher maintenance costs of a traditional engine.There's also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in.No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet. While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground.A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11,890 watt-hours per kilogram.Carrying adequate batteries, however, would make the plane too heavy to get off the ground.In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can't just be ignored. The transition (过渡) from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids—vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity.Many believe the same pattern could be followed in the air.Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric component is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing. It's certainly an exciting time for electric flying.With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead, battery-powered planes, especially on short-haul journeys, are set to become a reality in the next few years. 4.According to Para.1, what is happening in air transport? New explorations of the sky are being launched. Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled. Efforts are being made to make air travel greener. Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively. 5.Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights? It runs short routes. It has a strong partner. Its planes can land on the sea. It has planes with powerful engines. 6.What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying? To improve the ground service for e-planes. To find qualified technicians for the e-plane industry. To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes. To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes. 7.What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of electric flying? Short-sighted. Wait-and-see. Optimistic. Skeptical. Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分) (2025·镇江市高三一模) This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia for a holiday.
