第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.
Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan (扫视) the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family in only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billions years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilizations are much more advanced than ours. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.
1、According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable? A．15 billion. B．10 billion.
C．5 billion D．200 billion
2、The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________.
A．why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B．how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C．where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D．when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
3、The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means “________”.
A．find B．follow
C．form D．check
4、Which of these statements is True based on the information in the passage? A．Scientists are tying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
B．Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C．The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
D．Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.
22．（8分）Solar energy systems & power plants do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or greenhouse gases. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.
However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic ( 光电池的) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Some solar thermal (保热的) systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U. S. environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.
As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations. The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals. Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources. In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.
The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day. However, on the surface of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source. The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location. Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis. The type and size of a solar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy.
1、Which of the following best explains "hazardous" underlined in paragraph 2? A．inexpensive B．dangerous
C．ineffective D．abnormal
2、What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations?
A．Polluting the ground water.
B．Protecting the habitats of plants and animals.
C．Damaging the local natural balance.
D．Attracting birds and insects to the area.
3、What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Different areas receive different amount of solar energy.
B．How to convert solar energy into useful energy.
C．The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight.
D．Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection.
（8分）The guzheng is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It belongs to the 23．
zither（齐特琴）family of string instruments. It is the parent of many musical instruments of some other countries.
The guzheng should not be confused with the guqin, another ancient Chinese zither
but without bridges. Now the guzheng is zither with movable bridges and usually 21 strings, although it can have from 15-25 strings. The g uzheng’s strings were formerly made of silk, though most players used metal strings by the 20th century. Since the
mid-20th century most performers use steel strings. The guzheng has a large resonant cavity（共振腔）.
The guzheng has existed since the Warring States Period and became especially popular during the Qin dynasty. The number of strings on the guzheng has always fluctuated. There were as few as 6 to as many as 23 strings during the Tang dynasty. The earliest record of the guzheng belonged to the historian Sima Qian. Until 1961, the common guzheng had 16 strings, although by the mid-20th century 18-string guzheng were also in use. In 1961, Xu Zhenggao, together with Wang Xunzhi, introduced the first 21-string guzheng after two years of research and development. In 1960, they also invented the “S-shaped” left string rest, which was quickly adopted by all guzheng makers and is still used today. This curve allows for greater ease in tuning the strings and, combined with strings of different thickness, allows for greater resonance in both the deeper and the higher pitch（音调）ranges. The 21-string guzheng is the most commonly used one, but some traditional musicians still use the 16-string one.
1、We can infer from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A．the guzheng is a musical instrument originating from Japan
B．there is only one kind of string instrument in China
C．there are many kinds of guzheng in the world
D．many musical instruments in other countries are related to the guzheng
2、Which of the following material may NOT have been used to make the strings of the guzheng probably?
A．Silk B．Steel
C．Wood D．Copper
3、The underlined word “fluctuated” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”. A．jumped B．changed
C．flowed D．waved
4、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The guqing is an ancient Chinese zither with bridges.
B．The guzheng became espevially popular in the Tang Dynasty
C．All musicians don’t use the 21-string guzheng.
D．Xu Zhenggao invented the “S-shaped” left string rest himself.
24．（8分）Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or apiece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A land of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
1、We can infer from the text that humans and animals .
A．depend on one sense in choosing food
B．are not satisfied with their food
C．choose food in similar ways
D．eat entirely different food
2、Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A．The white butterfly
B．The small bird.
C．The bear.
D．The fox.
3、Certain animals change their choice of food when .
A．the season changes
B．the food color changes
C．they move to different places
D．they are attracted by different smells
4、We can learn from the last paragraph that .
A．food is chosen for a good reason
B．French and British food is good
C．some people have few choices of food
D．some people care little about healthy diet
5、Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Animals often use senses to eat their food
B．Most animals have a more varied diet.
C．All animals spend their lives eating one type of food.
D．The diet of birds and fox will be the same depending on the season
25．（10分）Flying High
Barrington Irving made his historic flight and founded an educational
non-profit-making organization. His message for kids: “The only thing that separates you from scientists is determination, hard work and a strong liking for what you want to achieve.” The secret, he believes, is having a dream in the first place, and that starts with learning experiences that inspire kids to build careers.
The moment of inspiration for Irving came at the age of 15 in his parents’ bookstore. One customer, a professional pilot, asked Irving if he’d thought about becoming a pi lot. “I told him I didn’t think I was smart enough; but the next day he took me to the cockpit (驾驶舱) of the commercial airplane he flew, and just like that I was hooked.”
To follow his dream, Irving turned down a football scholarship to the University of Florida. He washed airplanes to earn money for a flight school and increased his flying skills by practising at home on a $40 flight simulator (模拟) video game. Then another dream took hold: flying alone around the world. He faced more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before convincing some companies to donate aircraft components. He took off with no weather radar, no de-icing system, and just $30 in his pocket. “I like to do things people say I can’t do.”
After 97 days, 26 stops and dozens of thunderstorms, he touched down to a cheering crowd in Miami. “It was seeing so many young people watching and listening that pushed me into giving back with my knowledge and experience.” Irving has been doing it ever since. He set up his non-profit-making organization, Experience Aviation (航空), aiming to increase the numbers of youth in aviation and science-related careers. Kids attend programmes dealing with hands-on robotics projects and flight simulator challenges.
“We want to create chances for students to accomplish something amazing,” he notes. Perhaps Irving’s most powerful educational tool is the example his own life provides. After landing his record-breaking flight at age 23, he said, “Everyone told me I was too young, that I didn’t have enough experience, stre ngth, or knowledge. They told me it would take forever and I’d never come home. Well ... guess what?”
1、According to Irving, what is the most important in achieving success?
A．Meeting people who provide unexpected help.
B．Getting a chance to study technical knowledge.
C．Having something specific that you want to accomplish.
D．Developing communication with different organizations.
2、What Irving replied to the pilot in the bookstore suggested that ______.
A．he felt embarrassed to refuse the offer
B．he was doubtful about his own abilities
C．he knew his efforts would be rewarded
D．he realized immediately how lucky he was
3、What can we learn about Irving in Paragraph 3?
A．He chose to reduce his budget as low as possible.
B．He was finally given enough money to keep going.
C．He got the most useful flying tips from his video game.
D．He took on a further challenge after he knew how to fly.
4、Irving set up his non-profit-making organization because ______.
A．he hoped to become a public figure
B．he expected to start a business in other fields
C．he saw there was great interest in what he was doing
D．he thought he could teach more than flight schools could
