Russian dolls were first made in 1890 and included eight dolls. These were all hand carved (雕刻) and painted. They were dressed in a traditional dress called sarafan. The word “Matryoshka” means matron an older married woman. The idea was that it meant a family with the mother being at its head.

The Russian doll appeared at the Paris World’s Fair in 1900. Everyone who saw them wanted one. Soon people visiting Russia also wanted to have one.

For three days towards the end of 2018, England’s second largest airport, Gatwick, had to cancel hundreds of flights. Over 140,000 passengers were left stranded with nowhere to go. The reason? The local police had received 92 reports of a drone (无人机) being seen flying above the airport. Even though there was not a single photo of this drone, it was decided it was too dangerous for airplanes to take off or land at Gatwick Airport.
Ever since drones have become available (可获得的) to the public, there have been concerns about what people may actually do with them. It’s fine to have a drone to take

B. Surprised C. Happy D. Disappointed
amazing videos and photos for your own enjoyment. It’s not fine for a simple drone bought from a local electronics store to be used to send drugs or to be part of illegal (非法的) activities.
This is something that has been challenging both the police and the military (军方) for many years. Time has been spent searching for ways to combat drones being used for illegal purposes. For example there were suggestions that it would be possible to block an illegal drone’s signal to stop it from flying. However, none of these solutions were used when Gatwick Airport had a problem.
Just a few months later, a company in California called Anduril announced that it had designed a solution to the Gatwick drone problem. They called it The Interceptor. The Interceptor is actually a drone itself. However, it is as heavy as a bowling ball. It can fly at 160 kilometers per hour and is designed to crash into another drone and destroy itwithout destroying itself. It is controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), but will not attack another drone without confirmation from a human controller first. Anduril has now started building The Interceptor and sending them to the military in both the USA and Great Britain. Confidence is so high in this company. It has been able to raise $120 million from banks to help with its development.
33. What happened at Gatwick at the end of 2018? A. Many flights were not allowed to take off. B. People reported the airport to the police. C. A drone show was held at the airport. D. A lot of people rushed to the airport. 34. What’s the concerns about the drones? A. They may be widely used during wars. B. They may be too expensive for the public. C. They may be used for some illegal activities.
D. They may be unable to help people in their daily lives. 35. What can we know about The Interceptor? A. It can fly as fast as a plane.
B. It was made to destroyed other drones.
C. It was created by a British company.
D. It has been widely accepted by the market. 36. Where does the passage come from? A. A novel B. An advertisement C. A diary D.newspaper
