It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 2 July, a piece, four kilometres wide, enters the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 50 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the seabed. Huge waves are created and speed outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on Earth for over 10 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?40. What is mainly described in the passage?A. Historic discovery.B. An event of imagination.C. A research on space.D. A scientific adventure.41. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes.A. an earthquakeB. damages to citiesC. an Earth explosionD. huge waves42. Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?A. Because the land is covered with water.B. Because the light and heat from the sun cannot reach the Earth.C. Because people there cannot live at the temperature of zero.D. Because wars break out among countries.CWould you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can’t you be bother ed to do?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2, 000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Brita in’s largest health charity. The results were astonishing.About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.Dr. Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”“If we don’t start to take control of t his problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary tasks.”And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.43. What causes children in the UK to be obese?A. Eating ready meal.B. Watching TV.C. Doing Internet shopping.D. Being lazy.44. What can be inferred from the passage?A. British people are too lazy to do anything.B. Internet shopping will do harm to your health.C. Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.D. People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.45. What does the underlined word “rudimentary” (in the eighth paragraph) most probably mean?A. basicB. seriousC. vitalD. hard46. All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except .A. GlasgowB. BirminghamC. NuffieldD. SouthamptonDOur professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, very old lady looking at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No seriously,” I said. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” She told me. We became instant friends.One day we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. She was introduced and stepped up. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are some secrets to staying young, being happy, andachieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it!” She said. “T here is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 5 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anyt hing, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral.47.
