1．The skies over Latin America's largest city are set to witness a futuristic aerospace revolution after the Brazilian airline Gol reached an agreement that could see it transport regular passengers around Sao Paulo in hundreds of low-cost zero-emission electric air taxis．
Domhnal Slattery，chief executive of the Dublin-based firm Avolon，which will provide the aircraft to Gol and recently placed an order for 500 of the aircraft from their British manufacturer，admitted helicopters were the "kingdom of the wealthiest"．
But the Avolon boss claimed the introduction of VA-X4 eVTOLs（垂直的） electric vertical takeoff and landing）aircraft to Sao Paulo would be a gamechanger for regular passengers once the taxis，which look like a futuristic cross between a helicopter and a glider，were delivered in late 2024 or 2025．
"Our basic estimate（估計） at the moment is that the operating cost here for this aircraft will be equal to ＄I per passenger over a 25-mile trip， "Slattery told the Financial Times． "Which is almost equal to an Uber ride．"
Few cities are crying out for such a revolution more than Sao Paulo，a sprawling metropolis with more than 12 million citizens and choked by a fleet of 8.6 m vehicles．
In the late 1990s，the congestion（擁塞） became so bad in what is now the world's fifth biggest city after Tokyo，Delhi，Seoul and Shanghai that authorities were forced to introduce a number plate rotation（循環(huán)） system for vehicles．
Stephen Fitzpatrick，the head of the British aerospace manufacturer that produces the aircraft，Vertical Aerospace，said the flying taxis would be ideal for Brazil's biggest city and will "transform how we travel around high population density cities that are crowded with traffic"．
The Bristol-based Vertical Aerospace was founded in 2016 and promises to pioneer "a new era in vertical transport"．
"We'll be looking to Asia after Sao Paulo，" Avolon's chief commercial officer，Paul Geaney，told Reuters．
（1）What did Domhnal Slattery think of helicopters？
A．They could be afforded by all．
B．They could be mostly used by the rich．
C．They provided convenience for travellers．
D．They showed the owners' social status．
（2）What is the advantage of electric air taxis？
A．Eco-friendliness．
B．Traditional design．
C．Zero noise．
D．Free delivery．
（3）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？
A．The flying taxis will be ideal for Brazil's biggest city．
B．More cities are eager for electric air taxis than Sao Paulo．
C．The Avolon will enter the Asian transportation market soon．
D．Travelling by VA-X4 eVTOLs can be more convenient but more expensive than by Uber．組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．Matt Doogue，a 34-year-old nature photographer，had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National Geographic.He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. "In the beginning，I was so paranoid （多疑的） and angry that I couldn't leave the house，" says Doogue. "When I attempted to end my life，I knew I needed to see someone.I went to the doctors and got treatment，but I know that I needed something more and that's when I started photography."
Now a dad of two，Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed.It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress.And his astonishing images，showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds，caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. "I ended up as one of their featured photographers，" recalled Doogue. "It was the peak of my career.It was incredible."
Originally from Salford，Greater Manchester，he now lives in Armadale，West Lothian，Scotland.Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic of male suicide，he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. "I think the problem is this man-up approach；the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time，" says Doogue. "This is why I try and be so open about my own experience.Whenever I am out with my camera，I don't think about my other worries.It is just me and the environment around me.You can lose yourself in a spider making its web."

3．An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle，a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
Salah Sukkarieh，a professor at the University of Sydney，sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags（標簽）on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape，color and texture （質(zhì)地）of grass.That way，cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
Machines have largely taken over planting，watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat，but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds，it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds，who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago，still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris，vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association，said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen，making them appealing targets.
（1）What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry？
A．Soil pollution.
B．Lack of workers.
C．Aging machines.
D．Low profitability.
（2）What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do？
A．Monitor the quality of grass.
B．Cure the diseased cattle.
C．Move cattle to another field.
D．Predict weather changes.
（3）Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle？
A．He wants to help them earn a living.
B．He thinks men can do the job better.
C．He is inexperienced in using robots.
D．He enjoys the traditional way of life.
（4）How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey？
A．Increase the value of cattle.
B．Bring down the cost of labor.
C．Make the job more appealing.
D．Keep cattle from being stolen.組卷：194引用：7難度：0.5
