The Victoria Falls makes a great holiday destination with many travelers visiting not just for the Waterfall, but also for the incredible activities. At its peak flow around June, a mile-wide crack 100m straight down is filled with the roar of water falling at a rate of 3,000 tons per second.

There are many American expressions about insects.
Bees are known as very hard workers. So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the bee’s knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees! If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet. If someone asks you a personal question, and you would like not to tell him or her, you might say, “That is none of your beeswax.”
Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still.
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do, you might ask him to leave you alone or “stop bugging me”. A friend also might tell you again and again to do something. If so, you mighe say he put a bug in your ear. If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter’s day, you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug. And, if you wish someone good night, you might say, “sleep tight—don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
24. When you describe a wonderful bike of your friend, you can say ______.
A B. it is the bee’s knees

A. speak highly of a beautiful person B. describe a person without confidence
C. stand for bad effects on a person D. comfort a person in a bad mood

C. Bugs live mainly in human’s ears. D. A bug in a rug is very dangerous.

Terrafugia is the most known flying car that has awaited the world for its creation and user ability(可用性). Passing on the new concept and making it possible made a lot of difficulties for the company. Its unique creation with the concept of its acceptable behaviour on road was a big challenge to meet. Even after the successful prototype(原型)production of the transition car, it was wondered whether it would be allowed on the local roads or not.
Facing the big challenge, Terrafugia made efforts to pass its newly born plan on the roads from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Administration Aviation (FAA). Keeping the safety of road and other users as primary concern, the authorities allowed the Terrafugia to land their creations on road. Still after the approval the compamy had to face various challenges to make this idea come true in real sense.
A major issue was the use of lighter plastic windscreens, as in normal cars the windscreens are of glass whereas in planes light weight polycarbonate(聚碳酸酯)wind shields are used to make the plane light in weight and give it a bird like effect to fly or glide. More over the transition tyres are used to handle the impacts of landing, so there needed to be a special allowance since there came a conflict between the tyres used for the plane and those for the conventional vehicles on the road. So the FAA allowed the company with a permission of 110 pounds loading on the road.
The company seems to face a huge challenge in covering all aspects and making it a safe and comfortable ride with the minimum cost to the comsumers. Taking in account all there aspects, Terrafugia has delayed its final production and delivery to the customers till this year.
So if you are waiting for it to come out to the market and have a chance to check how you actually feel like sitting in it, you will have to wait a couple of more months!
28. The underlined word “await” in the first parpgraph means “______”.
A. wait for
B. be going to happen or come to sb in the future
C. put down by force or authority
D. make sb understand or realize the truth of something
29. After the successful prototype production of the transition car, the company first concerned ______.
A. if it would be allowed on the local roads
B. what material should be used to make its windscreens
C. how to choose good tyres for it
D. how to make it a safe and comfortable ride with the minimum cost to the consumers
30. The wind shields of planes are made of ______.
A. lighter plastic B. thicker glass
C. light weight polycarbonate D. harder paper
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Terrafugia is a very cheap and comfortable flying car for consumers.
B. After the approval of NHTSA and FAA, the company finally made its idea come true in real sense.
C. Terrafugia is to replace the conventional cars and planes.
D. These new flying cars now haven’t been put on the market.
