You never see him．but they’re with you every time you fly．They record where you are going，how fast vou’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They’re known as the black box．
When planes￡all from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30，2009，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So whena French submarine(潜水艇)detected the device’s homing signal five days later，the discoverymarked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which l 52 passengers were killed．
In l958．Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would trackbasic information like ahitude and direction．That was the first mode for a black box，which becamea requirement on all U．S．commercial flights by l960．Early models often failed to withstand cra’shes．however，so in l 965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of theplane—tlle area least subject to impact--from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱)．
The same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．
Modem airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recol-der，which tracks pilots’conversations，and a flight．data recorder，which monitors fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions thathelD investigatorS reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments．Placed in an insulated(隔绝的)case andsurrunded by a quarte卜inch．thick panels of stainless steel，the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2．000 T．When submerged，they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20．000 ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1．2009,are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up．In the approxi- matelv 20 deep．sea crashes over the past 30 years，only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered．
What does the author say about the black box?
A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane．
B．The idea for its design comes from a comic book．
C．Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible．
D．It is an indispensable device on an airplane．
27、What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?
A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash．
B．The total number of passengers on board．
C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage．
D．Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash．
28、Why was the black box redesigned in l 965 ?
A．Because new materials became available by that time．
B．Because too much space was needed for its installation．
C．Because the early models often got damaged in the crash．
D．Because the early models didn’t provide the needed data．
29、Why did the FederM Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?
A．To distinguish them from the co]our of the plane．
B．To caution people to handle them with care．
C．To make them easily identifiable．
D．To confoITll to international standards．
30、What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447 7
A．There is still a good chance of their being recovered．
B．There is an urgent need for them to be reeonstructed．
C．They have stopped sending homing signals．
D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil．专题推荐：2014年各学科教学能力试题 深入考点
