| Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is to send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent into a safer, colder part of the solar system. This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration( NASA) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet-effectively doubling its working life. The plan put forward by Dr Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet of asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth. "Earth's orbital speed would increase as a result and we could move to a higher orbit away from the Sun," Laughlin said. Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated. In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so "seriously compromise" our biosphere (生物圈)-by cooking us. That's why the group decided to try to save Earth. The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a stairt, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earth-with deadly results. There is also the question of the Moon. As the scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is "most likely that the Moon would be stripped away from Earth," it states. This would change our planet's climate. |
| 1. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of ____ years. |
| A. 12 billion B. 6 billion C. 18 billion D. 24 billion |
| 2. What makes the scientists plan to save Earth? |
| A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth. B. Earth's working life is coming to an end soon. C. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive. D. The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth. |
| 3. What does the underlined word" compromise" mean? |
| A. provide B. benefit C. share D. endanger |
| 4. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage ? |
| A. Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death. B. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon. C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return toEarth. D. Earth's working life might be greatly shortened. |

| Planet Hunter When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night,he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky. " What excited me most was whether there were planets in other solar systems where life might exist," he says. "I decided to try to find planets orbiting other stars like our Sun. " And he did. " My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995 , " Dr Marcy says. " We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. " Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr Marcy and Dr Butler also spotted the first "family" of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like(像木星一样的) planet orbiting star 55 Cancri. At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun. Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features (特征) in our solar system. The first is Jupiter. "Because it's so big, Jupiter pulls comets (彗星) and asteroids (小行星) , or they all come and hit the Earth. " Dr Marcy explains. "Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. " A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr Marcy," We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life ! " |
| 1. What can we learn about Dr Marcy from the passage? |
| A. He is fond of watching Jupiter. B. He is from a scientist family. C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler. D. He is interested in finding life in outer space. |
| 2. Which of the following is TRUE of the recent discovery? |
| A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter. B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri. C. The planet proves to be a gas planet. D. The planet is as large as Jupiter. |
| 3. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far? |
| A. 100. B. 69. C. 66. D. 65. |
| 4. Dr Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because _____ . |
| A. he has found the system similar to the solar system B. he has discovered an Earth-like planet there C. he has discovered a rocky planet there D. he has found signs of life in the system |

| The climate of any place is the kind of weather. It usually has over a long period of time. The houses we live in, the clothes we wear, and the food we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live. Climate is a pattern that is not nearly as simple as we think, and it is affected by many factors. The distance to the North or South Pole or to the equator really matters a lot. If you live near either of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for the place where you live does not get as much or as direct sunshine as a place farther away from the poles. In places close to the equator, the climate is very hot, for they are the parts where the sun shines almost straight down. Whether rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. In hot, dry deserts, little rain falls, but in a hot rainforest, the amount (数量) of rainfalls is far larger than that in a desert, for there is a heavy rain almost every day, even several times per day. Though a rainforest and a desert may be the same distance from the equator, their climates are rather different from each other. How much rain or snow falls is considered by some to be determined by the winds, the surrounding mountains and the currents (水流) in nearby seas and so on. In short, it is a very complex natural phenomenon. |
| 1. This passage mainly talks about ____. |
| A. weather B. different climates C. climate and its determining factors D. the difference between weather and climate |
| 2. From this passage, we know climate and weather are ____ and climate is ____. |
| A. almost the same; the general term of weather B. quite different; the average weather conditions at a particular place over a period of time C. not the same; included by weather D. very much alike; bigger and weather is smaller |
| 3. The climates between a tropical(热带的) desert and a tropical rainforest are different in ____ . |
| A. the amount of rainfalls B. the winds and the surrounding mountains C. the currents in nearby seas D. how much sunshine the two different places can get |
| 4. From the context, we can guess that the word "complex" means ____ . |
| A. simple B. easy to understand C. rather D. difficult to understand |

| A young man named Charles Lyell had different ideas. He wrote a book about them called Principles of Geology. The earth, according to Lyell, was not only thousands of years old, it was millions of years old. As to (关于) the common belief that changes in the earth's surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood, he said that this might happen once in a while, but usually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes, he said, were caused by the long- term action of the winds and seas, and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earth's surface. Once in a great while he thought, a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily. Professor Henslow was interested in Lyell's ideas, but he did not actually believe them. Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them. But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world. At Cambridge ,Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination, and received his college degree in 1831. During this time, he had become more and more interested in geology. At the end of the school year, he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (构成) and to search for fossils (化石). Fossils are the remains of ancient living things. They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earth's crust (地壳). Fossils may be of animals, such as fish, insects, birds, or humans. They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees. When a living creatures dies, it usually decays (腐烂) or is eaten by animals. However, if it sinks into a riverbed or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm, the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear, leaving the inside bellow. Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy, like stone. |
| 1. According to Charles Lyell, it is mainly _____ that theearth has been formed like today's shape. |
| A. from the beginning of time B. past some experiences of big flood C. over a very long period of years D. because of several big earthquakes |
| 2. Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed _____. |
| A. more by seas than by volcanoes B. more slowly than suddenly C. more by an earthquake than by winds D. more quickly than steadily |
| 3. Unlike Professor Henslow, Charles Darwin ____ . |
| A. never thought Lyell's ideas were right B. did made up his mind not to accept Lyell's ideas C. thought about what the world was then D. thought over Lyell's ideas and developed them |
| 4.The main purpose of Darwin's going to North Wales was to ____. |
| A. make a study of fossils B. appreciate the rock information C. do research work into dead animals D. look for plants from tiny leaves to huge trees |

| Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days or more. And this stands to reason, if you're paying $ 20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there's going to be a need for orbital accommodation-or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel-private rooms, meals, bars. But they'll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views-of Earth and space~ and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity- including sports and other activities that make use of this. The hotels themselves will vary greatly-from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date. It's actually surprising that as later as 1997,very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven't expected lauch costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people who've been to space have described vividly what it's like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don't need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you'll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below. Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And so after a few days you'll find yourself heading back though you'll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You'll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel! |
| 1. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because ____. |
| A. it is expensive to travel in space B. they would find the possible life in other star systems C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels D. they want to realise the full potential of tourism |
| 2. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer? |
| A. The gravitational pull. B. The special views. C. The relaxation in a bar. D. The space walk. |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage? |
| A. When was the space traveling made possible? B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer? C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels? D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels? |
| 4. This passage is mainly about ____. |
| A. traveling in space B. the ways of living in space hotels C. zero gravity and space hotels D. the description of space hotels |

| A common concern we often hear with regard to single children is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a dilemma associated with their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations. Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less able to interact well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with brothers or sisters. However, for some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures of giving time and energy to a second child can seem too great,resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. Still others believe that, ______, the parents can give,and the child can receive, more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self- respect which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident. |
