48、rocess. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds-as well as customer-service robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.Called starfish by Chinese media for

49、its shape of five concourses(大厅) connected to a main hall, Daxing Airport aims to reduce the walking distance for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters (about eight minutes of walking) between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gate.This new

50、 modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big C-shaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore, it minimizes the need to use electric lighting.To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards

51、 with the themes Silk Garden, TeaGarden, Porcelain Garden, Countryside Garden and Chinese garden feature at the end of the five departure lounges(等候室) for use by passengers waiting for their flights.

52、apture face photos and relay them in each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate.China is projected to overtake the United States as the worlds biggest air travel market by 2022.

53、passengers and 2 million tons of goods annually by 2025.

57、t air travel market.65. What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate?A. The airports market.B. The airports project.C. The airports potential.D. The airports facilities.DThese days, its not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures, office workers wearing Hello Kitty a

58、ccessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks. Its becoming more and more common to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.What lies behind the

59、 phenomenon? One is about adults nostalgia (怀旧之情)for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with todays fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to

60、spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.Businesses have been quick to exploit the kidult trend, and the number of toy stores that target adults has

61、risen. Companies are repackaging products from past decades and also bringing out new ones for adults. Lego, for example, has brought out an architectural series featuring landmarks from around the world.Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing

62、 the refusal as a sign of social immaturity and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly (异常)that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers. On a grander scale, these

63、kidult opponents argue that such delayed adulthood causes couples to marry later and have fewer children. This in turn can lead to shrinking national economies, for there needs to be a generational replenishment(补充)of the workforce.From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as n

64、othing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to conform to societys acceptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part of the social trend of delayed adulthood is not purely a personal ch

65、oice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.Whether the kidult phenomenon will continue to grow or prove to be a passing trend is anyones guess. As the debate about it continues, remember that there is nothing wrong w

66、ith being young at heart.66. What does the kidult phenomenon refer to?A. Adults act like children.B. Adults have child-like tastes.C. Adults go in for collecting toys.D. Adults like playing with children.67. Which of the following might cause the emergence of kidults?A. Different living conditions.B

67、. More choices about toys.C. High pressure of modern life.D. Good memories of childhood.68. What does the underlined word “exploit” probably mean?A. Get used to.B. Look forward to.C. Take advantage of.D. Make way for.69. How does the text deal with the debate about kidults?A. By strongly opposing ki

68、dult opponents.B. By convincing readers to accept kidults.C. By refusing to take a stand on the issue.D. By presenting both sides of the argument.70. What can we infer about the authors attitude towards the phenomenon from the last paragraph?A. Doubtful.B. Positive. C. Disapproving.D. Uncaring.第卷（共4
