It passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could flynever an airplane so big，so light, using so little energy.” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.During the 90-minute flight，the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1. 6 km above the countryside.Engineers plan to test a night flight before July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel(燃料），” Piccard said. Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air-and to show off their airplane.The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average(平均). That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。( )26.The passage is probably taken from .A. a postcardB. a newspaperC. a comic bookD. an advertisement( )27.The solar-powered plane .A. is big and heavyB. uses much energyC. passed the first flight testD. will have a night flight after July( )28.How long will it take the solar-powered plane to travel 140 km?A.

Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统)Its a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact (精确地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. Its made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers.Space TechnologyRussian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages. Its even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.Underwater RobotHercules is a kind of Underwater Robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago. The world is changing so quickly that its hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. Its important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the time.( )31. _ can tell you where the user is on the earth exactly.A. SatellitesB. ReceiversC.

To remind us the advantages of technology are limitless.(C)There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didnt have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter（直升机） in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. By this time most people had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.( )36.
