ANASA’s （美国宇航局的）newly announced space tourism program is possibly the biggest mistake in the agency’s history.Beginning as early as 2020, NASA will offer visits to the International Space Station for $35,000 per night, not including transportation, to pretty much anyone who can pass a physical.The reason this is a mistake, and a big one, is that NASA has worked for generations to create an image of astronauts as extraordinarily skilled, highly trained, courageous heroes. For example, NASA invites grade schools to participate in creating experiments that are carried on the space station. The astronauts talk to kids from space, sending a message that if you study, work hard and learn math and science, you may reach these heights, too.According to one report, Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace is making plans to haul four tourists at a time to the space station on SpaceX rockets. U.S. taxpayers forked over a hundred billion dollars to build the International Space Station. It would be nice to try to preserve the image of it as an inspirational achievement, instead of turning it into a flying Howard Johnson’s.NASA’s press release about the space tourism program tries to cast it as a partnership with the private sector to “provide expanded opportunities” at the space station to “manufacture, market and promote commercial products and services.” But it also states that one goal is “quantifying NASA’s long-term demand for activities in low-Earth orbit.”The space station has been costing U.S. taxpayers between $1.5 billion and $3 billion each year. If it’s perceived as a private Disneyland for the top tax bracket, public support for the entire space program could be at risk.But worse, we will have degraded what once inspired us. Sometimes a nation needs stars in its eyes.21. What is NASA’s space tourism program?A. To invite students to attend their experiments.B. To send visitors to the space station.C. To run a restaurant in the space station.D. To build a Disneyland in the space station.22. Why does the writer view the space tourism program as a big mistake?A. It may influence the science experiment negatively.B. It will cost people a lot of money.C. It is too dangerous for visitors.D. It may destroy the image of astronauts.23. What does the underlined word “stars” refer to?A. Planets.B. Satellites.C. Wealthy tourists.D. AstronautsBMost dog owners have probably been puzzled waiting for their dog to do its business. Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual（仪式）out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting（蹲下）. Luckily, the ultimate pet owners’ question may finally have been answered.A few theories have circulated about why dogs might circle before pooping, and most are similar to the reasons they spin before lying down. Trampling around in a circle would flatten the grass around, which would keep tall blades(叶片) from trapping their waste. Another explanation could be that they’re scanning for snakes and predators before they become completely occupied.But Czech researcher Hynek Burda didn’t quite buy into those theories. Dogs evolved from wolves, which didn’t need to worry much about tall grass. And if they were scanning their environment, keeping still to listen and sniff would be more effective than giving the area a quick once-over. Instead, Burda suggested that dogs spin to get a feel for the Earth’s magnetic pull.The Earth has a magnetic field around it protecting it from radiation from space, and some animals seem to use it to get a sense of where its North and South poles are. For instance, it’s how birds know which way to migrate. In 2013, Burda published a study in the journal Frontiers in Zoology suggesting dogs have a strong internal compass, too. He and his team spent two years watching 70 dogs poop and pee and recording which way they faced and how strong the magnetic（磁的）field was.As it turns out, when the magnetic field was calm, dogs preferred to poop facing either north or south. The pattern couldn’t explain why dogs like facing the Earth’s poles, but the researchers think it might help them remember where they marked their territory.If they can remember which way they were facing, they might find it easier to find that spot again. So before you roll your eyes when your dog takes ages to do his business, remember that Fido might just be getting scientific about his potty spot.24. What is the ritual for dogs when they do their business?A. They poop twice daily.B. They circle before pooping.C. They usually make their owner impatient.D. They just find a soft area to poop.25.According to Burda, dogs __________A. look for snakes and predators before pooping.B. spin to flatten the grass.C. sniff around to scan the environment.D. circle to face a certain direction.26. The writer cites “birds” in order to show __________A. how magic they are.B. dogs also can migrate.C. dogs have inner compass.D. the differences between birds and dogs.27. It might be concluded that dogs__________A. have good reasons to take ages to do his business.B. are more scientific than human beings.C. are sensitive to radiation from space.D. often play tricks with their owners.CYou may have heard that humans only use ten percent of their brain, and that if you could unlock the rest of your brainpower, you could do so much more. You could become a super genius, or acquire psychic powers like mind reading.This “ten-percent myth” has inspired many references in the cultural imagination. In the 2014 movie Lucy, for example, a woman develops godlike powers thanks to drugs that release the previously inaccessible 90 percent of her brain.Contrary to the ten-percent myth, however, scientists have shown that humans use their entire brain throughout each day.Over the years, brain scientists have shown that different parts of the brain are responsible for specific functions, whether it’s recognizing colors or problem solving. Contrary to the ten-percent myth, scientists have proven that every part of the brain is integral for our daily functioning.Research has yet to find a brain area that is completely inactive. Even studies that measure activity at the level of single neurons（神经元）have not revealed any inactive areas of the brain.Many brain imaging studies that measure brain activity when a person is doing a specific task show how different parts of the brain work together. For example, while you are reading this text on your smartphone, some parts of your brain, including those responsible for vision and reading comprehension, will be more active.A more direct counter to the ten-percent myth lies in individuals who have suffered brain damage –like through a stroke（中风）– and what they can no longer do, or do as well, as a result of that damage. If the ten percent myth is true, then damage to many parts of our brain shouldn’t affect your daily functioning.Studies have shown that damaging a very small part of the brain may have devastating consequences. If someone experiences damage to Broca’s area（布罗卡氏区）, for example, they can understand language but can’t speak fluently.In one highly publicized case, a woman in Florida permanently lost her “capacity for thoughts, perceptions, memories, and emotions that are the very essence of being human” when a lack of oxygen destroyed half of her brain.28.What is the passage mainly about?A.The ten percent myth is not true.B.Brain scientists have a long way to go.C.Human brain is much more powerful than we imagine.D.All parts of the brain are equally important.29.Why does the writer mention the movie “Lucy”?A.To show the power of women.B.To introduce an interesting story.C.To fight against the ten percent myth.D.To show the influence of ten percent myth.30.It can be inferred that Broca’s area is responsible for __________.A.listening.B. writing.C. speaking.D. reading.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
