A
During the National Day holiday, the sky above Shenzhen was lit up by impressive drone (无人机) light shows． This “cyber fireworks” lit up the night, painting a lively picture of Shenzhen as a “City of Miracles, City of Innovation． City of Future”． A total of 10197 DAMODA drones took to the sky at the same time, setting two Guinness World Records． So how does the drone light show work?
Before a drone light show begins, drones are usually put on the ground one by one and it would take a lot of time to prepare a show with more than ten thousand drones． To shorten the time, the DAMODA drone company thought of a solution． The company put groups of drones into big boxes with specific QR codes on it． By putting the boxes into correct places, thousands of drones can be ready in a short time and they can go back to their “homes” by scanning the OR codes．
In drone shows, each drone is programmed by a computer to follow its own flight direction, carefully avoiding the other drones． They communicate with neighbouring drones and use sensors (传感器) to keep a certain distance． The position and LED colours change throughout the performance to show different objects in the night sky．
Drone light shows are thought to be more environmentally friendly—and certainly cause less noise and light pollution—than fireworks shows, so lots of big events are turning to them instead of fireworks． Drones can also be reused again and again so they will probably be more popular in the future．
11． How does the writer introduce the topic?
A． By making a comparison． B． By using a saying． C． By showing a survey． D． By giving a fact．
12． Why did the DAMODA company put the drones into special boxes?
A． To make the drones lighter． B． To protect the environment． C． To reduce preparation time． D． To keep the audience safe．
13． The drones use the sensors to ________．
A． make sure of the connection B． stay away from other drones C． show different colours D． reach a certain speed
14． What is the author’s attitude (态度) towards drone light shows?
A． Uninterested． B． Critical． C． Supportive． D． Doubtful．
15． In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage?
A． Technology． B． Business． C． Fashion． D． Travel．
B
Every morning at 5 a．m．, workers of Disney World Resort prepare to deliver food to the pickiest (最挑剔的) eaters: thousands of animals that live there． “We make meals for creatures from big cats to sharks．” animal nutrition assistant (营养助手) Cori Coleman says． So how do Coleman and her coworkers at the animal restaurant feed hundreds of animals every day? Not Geo Kids takes you behind the scenes of the wildest “restaurant” ever．
Most animals aren’t “ordering” the same dish． Their food is based on what they need to stay healthy． Nutritionists use a digital program to prepare each animal’s daily diet． “Some animals are growing, and others need to lose weight,” Coleman says． “It’s not as simple as giving every animal the same meal．”
After the diet is decided, the “chefs” deal with items that need to be broken down, like large pieces of fruit． Then they weigh the food to make sure each animal is getting the right amount of food． Finally, they put the meals into boxes so the food can be transported to the animals across the park．
Keepers watch the animals to record what they like and what they don’t． “Our bats love most fruit,” keeper Erica Hoffstadt says． “But they can’t stand strawberries!” Notes like these are shared with the nutritionists so they can displace food for picky eaters．
16． What possibly may the workers do at 5 a．m． in Disney World Resort?
A． They feed the pickiest animals． B． They train different creatures． C． They prepare meals for the animals． D． They order food for the animals．
17． How do the nutritionists prepare each animal’s daily diet?
A． By judging the need of each animal． B． By setting up a deliver program． C． By making the same balanced diet． D． By providing a large amount of food．
18． How many steps does it take to prepare food according to Paragraph 2 and 3?
A． Two． B． Three． C． Four． D． Five．
19． What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A． Strawberries are bats’ favourite fruit． B． Keepers give advice on animals’ diet．=
C． Erica always shares notes with the bats． D． Workers may reduce food for picky animals．
20． Which is the best title for the passage?
A． The Pickiest Animals in Disney B． Why Animals Have Different Diets C． A Special Nutrition Assistant D． How an Animal Restaurant Works
