8、elation with the number eleven.

9、leven-hour dial and the number twelve missing.Although nearly everyone in Solothurn knows about the town's obsession with the number eleven, the origin of that is covered in mystery. The first mention of eleven in Solothurn's history dates back to 1252, when eleven members were first elected

12、 in the number eleven in their daily life. There are special celebrations held on eleventh birthdays, and there are local products and businesses that include the special number.

16、xpert at designing products.CFrench car maker CitroEn recently released a pair of glassless, liquid- flleld eyeglasses that can reportedly treat the symptoms of motion sickness.Called Seetroen, the eyeglasses use Boarding Ring technology, which was created by a French start-up of the same name, to t

17、reat motion sickness in just a few minutes. According to the oficial press release, after being worn for 10 to 12 minutes, the glasses enable the mind to resynchronise(重新同步) with the movement perceived by the inner ear while the eyes focus on an immobile object such as a smartphone or a book and the

18、 wearer can just take them off and enjoy the rest of the journey.Motion sickness occurs when our brain perceives conflicting reports about perceived motion from the eyes and the inner ear. It's usually not a problem when a person is looking out of the window because then both organs perceive mot

19、ion similarly, but when you're looking down at a phone or a book, the eyes don't perceive the motion the same way, and the reports sent to your brain contradict those from the inner ear, and the confusion results in motion sickness.So how do Setroen cure the annoying condition that has been

20、plaguing mankind for centuries? Well, the secret is literally in those plastic frames. That blue liquid in the rings around the eyes recreate the horizon line to resolve the conflict between the signals sent to the brain by the eyes and inner ear so that the movement detected by the eyes matches tha

21、t detected by the inner ear. Since Seetroen glasses are actually glassless, they can be worn by anyone, even over actual eyeglasses.

23、removing conflicting signals. D. By adjusting the angles of movements.11. What's the best title of the text?A. A creative cure for motion sickness.B. The amazing rise of a French start-up.C. A new understanding of motion sickness.D. The popularity of liquid-filled eyeglasses.D1 They're incon

24、siderate. They annoy you, And sometimes, they infect you. Wouldn't it be nice if we could ban passengers like that from the plane?2 If you've been wondering whether the airlines should expand their own no-fly lists, you're not alone. Joseph Flanagan, an engineer from Golden, Colorado, th

25、inks the kind of passenger he sat next to on a recent flight should be blacklisted. “We were barely 10 minutes into the flight when he pulled off his shoes and then put his damp feet on the chair in front of him," he recalls.3 Inconsiderate passengers come in all shapes and sizes. They're t

26、he ones who occupy the bathroom for half an hour. Theyre the ones who place their carry-ons above your seat and then walk 10 rows back. One of the most annoying passengers, of course, is the one who talks nonstop. As a result, you can't sleep, can't listen to music, or even can't get any

27、 work done. Wouldn't it be great if we could require passengers to make a promise of silence during the flight?4 Another category of passengers that can- and should一be banned are people who are ill. Sharon Lawrence, a mental health therapist from Largo, Maryland, says people who know they are si

28、ck should stay grounded. “I have had to sit next to individuals who are sick, coughing, barely covering their mouths," she says. “As a result of a few of these flights, 1 have become ill after flying.”5 However, expanding the airline blacklists is easier said than done. Federal Aviation Adminis

29、tration regulations permit airlines to remove passengers if the safety and health of other travelers are affected. “But such procedures do not allow for the removal of a passenger without proper legal justification," says David Reischer, CEO of Legal A, a legal advice website.12. What may Josep

30、h Flanagan think of the behavior of the passenger next to him?二A. It is against the law. B. It causes discomfort,C. It is none of his business. D. It affects the flight safety.13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Requirements for in-flight behavior. B. Annoying experiences of the author.C. Exampl

31、es of thoughtless passengers. D. Possible measures against misbehavior.14. Why should sick people be added to no-fly lists according to Sharon Lawrence?A. They are likely to cough constantly. B. They can not attend to themselves.C. They may infect other passengers. D. They will miss timely treatment

32、.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Stricter restrictions for air travel must be set at once.B. Misbehavior of some passengers should be tolerated.C. The government prohibits the removal of passengers.D. It may be illegal to blacklist misbehaving passengers. 翻譯：他們不體諒人。它們會讓你惱火，有時還會感染

33、你。如果我們能禁止這樣的乘客上飛機不是很好嗎？如果你一直想知道航空公司是否應該擴大他們自己的禁飛名單，你并不孤單。來自科羅拉多州戈爾登的工程師約瑟夫·弗拉納根（Joseph Flanagan）認為，他最近乘坐的航班上坐在旁邊的那種乘客應該被列入黑名單。他回憶說：“我們剛上飛機10分鐘，他就脫下鞋子，然后把濕腳放在前面的椅子上。”。（第三段）不體貼的乘客有各種各樣的形狀和大小。他們在浴室里呆了半個小時。他們把行李放在你的座位上，然后向后走10排。當然，最讓人討厭的乘客之一是不停說話的人。因此，你不能睡覺，不能聽音樂，甚至不能完成任何工作。如果我們能要求乘客在飛行過程中保證安靜，那不是很

34、好嗎？另一類可以而且應該被禁止的乘客是生病的人。來自馬里蘭拉戈的心理健康治療師莎倫·勞倫斯說，知道自己生病的人應該呆在家里。她說：“我不得不坐在病人旁邊，咳嗽，幾乎不捂嘴。”?！坝捎谶@幾次飛行，有一次飛行后病了。”然而，擴大航空公司黑名單說起來容易做起來難。聯(lián)邦航空管理局的規(guī)定允許航空公司在其他旅客的安全和健康受到影響的情況下轉移旅客。法律咨詢網(wǎng)站legal A的首席執(zhí)行官大衛(wèi)賴舍爾（David Reischer）表示：“但此類程序不允許在沒有正當法律理由的情況下將乘客帶走?！薄５诙?jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選

All too often, you reach into the fridge and find that the strawberries youpurchased just a few days ago have turned moldy (發(fā)霉的). 16 G Vinegar has an extensive and ever -increasi

36、ng list of household uses. Because it is non-poisonous, unlike other washes, it can be used to clean fresh fruits. 17 E Putting the fruit in the mixture of one part vinegar and three parts water can remove 98 percent of bacteria. It will make the fruit much cleaner than it was when washed with an an

37、tibacterial wash or with water alone. D 18 By following the same process, you can prevent the growth of mold for far longer than if you haven't washed them with the mixture. But be careful: this trick doesn't kill any mold that has already grown. 19 A Besides, try to make the strawberries as

38、 dry as possible before storing them in the fridge. You can pat them dry with paper towel, and then pack them away in a clean container.20 C Actually, there is a simple solution to your concern. A thorough wash with plain water afterward will ensure there are no unwanted tastes left.A. So make sure

A new trick, however, can greatly expand their shelf life using vinegar. 翻譯：就像季節(jié)本身一樣，夏天的新鮮水果往往不會像我們所希望的那樣保存太久。你經(jīng)常把手伸進冰箱，發(fā)現(xiàn)你的草莓幾天前剛買的已經(jīng)發(fā)霉了。G、 然而，一種新的方法可以大大延長醋的保質期。醋有一個廣泛和不斷增加的家庭使用清單。因為它無毒，不像其他洗滌液，它可以用來清洗新鮮水果。E、 它在清洗水果方面比大多數(shù)洗衣液更有效。把水果放在一份醋和三份水的混合物中可以去除98%的細菌。它會使水果比用抗菌清洗劑或單獨

41、用水清洗時干凈得多。D、 所以你可能根本不需要那些昂貴的衣服。通過遵循同樣的過程，你可以防止霉菌生長的時間比你沒有用混合物清洗它們的時間要長得多。但要小心：這個把戲不會殺死任何已經(jīng)生長的霉菌。A、 所以在他們變壞之前一定要做好。另外，在把草莓放進冰箱之前，盡量讓它們變干。你可以用紙巾把它們拍干，然后把它們放在一個干凈的容器里。C、 你可能擔心你的漿果嘗起來像醋。事實上，有一個簡單的方法可以解決你的問題。之后用清水徹底清洗，確保沒有多余的味道。B、 然而，許多水洗可以使它們保持更長時間的新鮮。F、 你最好先用醋把漿果洗干凈再享用。第二部分語言運用(共兩節(jié) ,滿分30分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題

Under
