2、assengers and go faster. The planeshave also changed shape to increase safety including the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid-20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their costthe air density（密度 ） is lower up there, creating less drag（阻力 ） for ai

3、rplanes. However, higher altitudes came with that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical（圓柱形的） shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de-Havilland-Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. Wi

5、er stress such as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of its breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation變（形）, and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the

6、inside and outside of the aircraft.Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35, 000 feet a whole new outlook, doe

It helps to survive the extreme weather.4. Where does this text come from?A. A newspaper on safe drivi

9、ng.B. A magazine on fashion design.C. A website on survival skills.D. A science book on flying.BThe hemlock（鐵杉） trees along the Wappinger Creek, NewYork, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. It s hard to

10、 believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it ends up killing the tree.The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA. The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive（入侵的 ） pests that have s

11、lipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets（ 托盤(pán) ） piled inside shipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep them from sliding around.Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pes

12、ts from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets don want more rules. Congress has added an amendmen修t（ 正案 ） in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by ins

13、pectors. Many are sprayed with” said Brent McCprlensdidoenn,tbug-killing pesticide. “ I believe in the system, of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U. S. Each is

14、full of wooden pallets. Lovett says, “ Inspectorsc an pto ssibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden pallets. ”H e believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco-composite wood. Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hid

15、e into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the U. S. $5 billion a year. Trees don t just die in forestsT. hey also die in cities and our yards. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.5. All the statements are

16、TRUE except that .A. pesticide has been applied to bug-killingB. the companies making pallets dont want more rulesC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Bugs won t bother the tree if just in few number

17、s.B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly.C. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes.D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection.7. Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?A. Because insects mostly die in them.B. Because they are the major pest carriers.C. Because they are not

18、worth extra money.D. Because plastic pallets are eco-friendly.8. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.C. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA.D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly
