• 1．Early February，I was flying up to Ohio.Well prepared，I had everything in my favour-fuel for five hours，charts in order，my flight plan on my lap，and a beautiful clear sky.
     I was wrong.
     I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada.I knew all about them-how an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.
     That morning，the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about the time I got to the airport.Chicago was some 400 miles from my destination-not a factor，or so I thought.That was the first hint I missed.
     The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan.I did the check and everything was in the green.So I told him no.Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan.I checked everything.All was fine.I ignored that hint.I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently.The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.
     The first blast of turbulence（氣流）struck my plane.I got slammed into the roof，and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.
     After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles，I realized fuel was now an issue.So was landing.I called Flight Following.We figured out the airport I could land.
     The engine stopped.So did my heart.There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude.I had run out of fuel in the left tank，and only a little in my right tank.The engine quit for a second time.I declared an emergency.I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane.Luckily，it worked.Then，the engine quit for the last time.I was a glider now.I made a long lazy spiral descent.Down I went.I stopped at the very end of the runway.
     I made so many mistakes，missed so many clues，and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind.I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different.I will never forget the sound of that silence.
     I flew home the next day Older.Wiser. Humbler.Lucky.

• 2．Do you want to feel closer to your smart phone？Then take a look at this burning hot bucket：mobile device covers designed to look，feel，and react like human flesh.
     As first reported by Gizmodo，the "Skin-On Interface" was designed by a team of French human-computer interaction researchers in an effort to create more effective methods of user input. "When we interact with others，we use skin as interfaces，" explains designer Marc Teyssier. "But the objects of mediated （媒質(zhì)的） communication - such as the smart phone - still has a cold interface，which doesn't allow natural interaction and jye.aiput.In this project，I wanted to make available the perfect human interface that is the skin for existing devices."
     Available in two styles， "simple" and "super realistic，" Skin-On interprets users' gestures like tickling，bowing，leaping，stretching，grabbing，nodding and shaking hands as well as the emotions implied by those gestures in a variety of applications.
     Like the human skin，Skin-On is made of multiple layers that can spot and interpret pressure across an object's surface.Based on the Skin-On prototype （原型） video，this allows for the support of device interaction，grip detection （抓握檢測） and other application specific features，some of which are，probably，sexier than others.In addition to mobile devices，Skin-On can be applied to track pads，wearables，select robotics，and I don't know，your nightmares？!As Future Blink put it， "This technology transforms the way we measure body temperature."
     No words on when （if ever） these devices will be available for purchase.Starting Sunday，the researchers and designers behind Skin-On will present their work at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology in New Orleans.
  
  （1）What can we learn from "Skin-On Interface" in paragraphs 2 and 3？

  
  A．It will improve users' input efficiency.
  B．It was produced by American researchers.
  C．It doesn't allow natural interaction and input.
  D．It can't interpret hidden emotions through various gestures.
  （2）It can be inferred from the passage that

  .
  A．the Skin-On can be used in any field
  B．the Skin-On is made of many layers and has two styles
  C．it's uncertain when these devices will be put into the market
  D．the Skin-On hasn't changed the way we measure body temperature
  （3）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Advantages of Artificial Intelligence
  B．The Application of Artificial Intelligence
  C．Phones Made of Artificial Human Skin
  D．Mobile Phones Applied to Many Fields

第二節(jié) 概要寫作 （滿分25分）

• 8．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
      Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions， whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead， we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems， such as pollution and fatal diseases. However， others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.
      Firstly， exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis， the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result， space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth's increasing population.
      Secondly， space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet their requirements for space exploration. For example， space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today， space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries， and everyday products such as GPS， memory foam pillows， and smart phone cameras are changing our lives.
      Finally， sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world's problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population，scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future， humans may live on both planets.
      In closing， exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore， it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people's short-term and long-term problems.
