AYou can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing.

To arouse readers’ interest in reading books.BI was in the Sants Cruz Mountains not long ago, speaking and sing ing at a women’s conference. We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions(会议)will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat(畏缩不前)---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart.Lilith’s story touched all of us, includin g Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, andhad brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quilt embodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.5. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.6. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D. To find a better job.7. From this passage, we know that the writer is____________.A. enthusiasticB. sympatheticC. intelligentD. talented8. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCYou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users reg ard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist anddirector of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgic ally remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,” says Griffiths.9. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.10. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble11. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine.DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits willdepend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.12. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family13. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings14. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays15. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence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最佳选项。

One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence ofeach of two chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make it shinedifferent colours. The other cell worked in the same way but could subtract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, itcould be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.Most biological reactions in the body aren’t that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output ” – instead,multiple inputs lead to different outputs.For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone maysuggest one disease,but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition.To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complexmathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To getaround this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multicellular system, in whichdifferent cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other.The system has nine cells,each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical inputs– similar to an AND, NOTand ORsystem in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell tothe other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can respond tomultiple inputs.“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is themost complex biological computer ever assembled, ”says Fussenegger.“This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学)–a lack of programmable devices, ” saysá ngel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. Hesays that Fussenegger’s multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit andachieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in differentIn the future, a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complexmedical conditions.F or example, it could r espond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate treatment.28. The underlined word“subtract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A. add upB. take awayC. split upD. give away29. What was the progress made in Fussenegger’s early research?A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.B. The indication of infectious substances became a reality.C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions.D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics.30.What has made Fussenegger ’s current multicellular system so special?A.It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuit.B.It is programmable and able to perform different mathematics.C.It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell.D.It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.31.What is the best title for the passage?A.Smart cells indicating various cancersB.Electronic circuit made from multi-cellsC.Programmable cells implanted in human bodiesD.Biological computer made from human cellsD“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquiredin the Louisiana Purcha se, ” George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program tosend men and women to Mars. They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. Americahas ventured forth into space for the same reasons.”Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark ’s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living.Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today’s standards. A Mars mission may bethe single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history.Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is,it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makesabsolutely no sense with current technology.Present systems for getting from Earth ’s surface to low -Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft andequipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-carebenefits, education spending, or other important programs— or by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars could dolittle more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck(敬畏的 ) staring into the sky of another world. Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and ata tiny fraction of the cost of sending people.It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled his proposal, he listedthese recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system,and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplish ments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes.Bush’s proposal,which calls for reprogramming some of NASA’s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science— the one aspect of space explorati on that ’s working really well.Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching newlaunch systems and advanced propulsion (推动力 )? lf new launch systems could put weightinto orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit toMars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still bethere when the technology is ready.32.What do Lewis and ClarkA. Instant value.C. Venture cost.’s expedition and a Mars mission have in common?B. Human inhabitance.D.Exploring spirit.A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford.B. American people’s well-being will suffer a lot if it is implementedC. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in AmericaD. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment34.Which cannot be concluded from the passage?A.Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic.B.A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program.C. Bush ’s proposal is based on thre e recent great achievements of space explorationD. The achievements in space exploration show how well unmanned science has developed.35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain Americas position as atechnological leader.B.A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.C.Someday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense.D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won’t mak e great discoveries.第二节(共5小题;每题 2 分,满分10 分 )依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Here are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months. Xi'an, ChinaXi'an, China is supreme and then there's the biggie (重要的事物)﹣the Army of Terracotta Warriors, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.Xi'an is vast,but a relaxed way of living and recent openings have boosted an already superb accommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in here. There's never been a better time to visit.South of Tokyo, JapanTwo cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting.Yokohama is just a 20﹣mixinte train journey from the capital and packs considerable appeal with its bayside location, architecture, beer and tasty cuisine.Less than an hour from Tokyo, fantastic seaside town Kamakura's known for its surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and restaurants.Sri Lanka's Hill CountrySri Lanka may be "so hot right now", but Lonely Planet recommends a different experience.Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to Sri Lanka's Hill Country for a wonderfully temperate escape from the nation's humid coasts.This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃. Raja Ampat, Indonesia"Raja" means "king" and this grand title is apparent. Packed with white ﹣sand beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom﹣shaped small islands. RajaAmpat is a biological hotspot.Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet﹣over 200 diving spots are still in a state of nature﹣and this,paired with a growing ecotourism (生态旅游) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the islands.(1)What can visitors do in Xi'an?A. Shop in a fantastic seaside town.B. Appreciate diverse heritage.C. Enjoy mushroom﹣shaped small islands.D. Experience planting crops by themselves.(2)Where is a surfer most likely to go?A. Yokohama.B. Raja Ampat.C. Kamakura.D. Sri Lanka's Hill Country.(3)Where is this text probably taken from?A. A fiction book.B. A private letter.C. A science report.D. A travel guidebook.12.(8分)I always dreamed of studying abroad,to learn at a world﹣class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day.To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream. To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China.There were a number of reasons behind it﹣its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace ofdevelopment.So just like that,I applied,along with some of my friends,for a master's degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition,the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship(实习) which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies.After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization(CCG). It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made.(1)The writer writes the first paragraph mainly to ?A. Encourage people to pursue dreams.B. Summarize the main idea of the text.C. Explain the reason for writing the passage.D. Add some background information.(2)What is the most important reason for the author coming to China?A. China's rich culture.B. His curiosity.C. China's advanced education system.D. His family's support.(3)What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?A. He is most proud of studying in China.B. He wants to be a researcher in the future.C. He plans to work in China after graduation.D. He found a job upon arriving in Beijing.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Learning and working in ChinaB. Travel experiences in ChinaC. Realization of dreams in ChinaD. Importance of having dreams13.(8分)A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women's shoes.Every day,millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start﹣up company called Rothy's, however, turns thisplastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes.Roth Martin is the company's co﹣founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women's feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces.Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers.Those fibers are then combined together.This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe's outer part,called the sole (鞋底).This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no﹣carbon rubber. Rothy's shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $125 or $145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year,the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand."We're not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future."When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now,the shoes are only available to be shipped in the UnitedStates. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.(1)How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?A. They are buried or burned.B. They are used to make shoes.C. They are changed into soft materials.D. They are returned to factories for reuse.(2)What does the underlined word"knitted"in the third paragraph mean?A. AttachedB. FixedC. CombinedD. Repaired.(3)Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy's shoes?A. The design and color.B. The reasonable price.C. The company's advertisement.D. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.(4)What is the purpose of the text?A. To advertise a new kind of shoes.B. To describe the process of making shoes.C. To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.D. To stress the importance of environmental protection.14.(8分)Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smart phone to see how many "likes"you've received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?Don't worry, you' re not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day,and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mentalhealth.This is something particularly bothering young adults,according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed. In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet ,who had just 1.7 times the risk.Some of us certainly feel sad when we're ignored on social media sites,or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that ,"It's a real issue, and it's been getting significantly worse over the last 5﹣6 years. You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships."However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre﹣existing issues than directly cause them.Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24﹣hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media , and who use it at night ,were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking?Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don't want to miss out on a conversation that's taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual online world and connect with the real world instead.(1)Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A. People checking social media frequently.B. People surfing the Internet regularly.C. People receiving a few"likes"for their posts.D. People longing for more messages.(2)Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?A. To introduce the coming topic.B. To give a more supporting example.C. To stress the importance of social media.D. To explain the cause of a social media addict.(3)Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A. Because they have more time and money.B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C. Because they want to attract more attention.D. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.(4)What's the passage mainly about?A. It's common for teenagers to be a social addict.B. Using smart phones does harm to people's health.C. It's better to stay away from virtual online world.D. Social media addiction contributes to depression.第二节(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.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)The "Chong Yang Festival" is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.(1)Climbing MountainsPeople like to climb mountains on this festival, so Double Ninth Festival is also called "Mountain﹣climbing Festival".The 9th lunar month, with clear autumn sky and bracing air, is a good time for sightseeing.(2). It is really refreshing to climb mountains and enjoy the beauty of nature at this bright and clear time in autumn.Climbing mounting also indicates "climbing to a higher position". Another reason why climbing mountains are valued by people, especially by the elderly is that it has a meaning of "climbing to ligneous life". Climbing mountains on Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty.(3)Drinking Chrysanthemum Flower(菊花) WineThe chrysanthemum flower wine is unique in brewing. In ancient times,people usually picked fresh chrysanthemum flowers and leaves on the 9th ofthe 9th lunar month,and brewed the mixture of them and grains into the wine.(4). The wine is said to have wholesome effects on sharpness of the eye, drop of high blood pressure, reduction of weight and removal of stomach trouble, thus contributing to longevity.(5)The Double Ninth cake is also known as "flower cake". It dates back to the Zhou Dynasty.It is said that the cake was originally prepared after autumn harvests for farmers to have a taste of what was just in season, and it gradually grew into the present cake for people to eat on the Double Ninth Day.A. Eating Double Ninth CakeB. Making "flower cake" with friendsC. A lot of poems were devoted to this customD. So people love to go sightseeing this monthE.

One of the cells was able to calculate additi on: the prese nee or abse nee of each of two chemicals would switch on a reactio n in side the cell that would make it shine differe nt colours. The other cell worked in the same way but could subtract amoun ts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate t he presenee of an infectious substanee while in fact it failed.Most biological reactions in the body aren ' t that simple, though. They rarely relyon “ one in put and one output ”- in stead, multiple in puts lead to differe nt outputs. Forinstanee, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely differe nt con diti on.To be more practical, biological computers n eed to be able to perform more complexmathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fusse negger and his team have engin eered a multicellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other.The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical react ion that resp onds to three chemical in puts —similar to an AND, NOTand ORsystem in a traditi onal electro nic circuit. These cells coord in ate their activities by releas ing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can resp ond to multiple in puts.“ Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on ani mals, we believe it is themost complex biological computer ever assembled, ” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学)—a lack of programmable devices, ” says a ngel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. Hesays that Fussenegger ' s multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve differe nt calculati ons just by connecting the nine cells in differe nt configurations (设置).In the future, a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complexmedical conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an in crease in a biomarker, which together would sig nal the prese nee of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate treatment.28. The underlined word “subtract ” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________ .A. add upB. take awayC. split upD. give away29. What was the progress made in Fussenegger ' s early research?A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.B. The in dicati on of in fectious substa nces became a reality.C. Engin eered kid ney cells could switch on biological react ions.D. Certa in cells were made capable of perform ing mathematics.30. What has made Fussenegger ' s current multicellular system so special?A. It has all the functions of a traditi onal electr onic circuit.B. It is programmable and able to perform differe nt mathematics.C. It has successfully packed multiple calculati ons into a sin gle cell.D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Smart cells in dicat ing various cancersB. Electr onic circuit made from multi-cellsC. Programmable cells impla nted in huma n bodiesD. Biological computer made from huma n cellsD“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquiredin the Louisiana Purcha se, ” George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program tosend men and women to Mars. They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. Americahas ven tured forth into space for the same reasons. ”Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark ' s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living.Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation.Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today ' s standards. A Mars mission may bethe sin gle most expe nsive non-wartime un dertak ing in U.S. history.Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with curre nt tech no logy.Present systems for getting from Earth ' s surface to low -Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipme nt a Mars missio n would require could be accomplished only by cutt ing health-care ben efits, educati on spe nding, or other importa nt programs — or by rais ing taxes. Abse ntsome remarkable discovery, astr on auts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars could do little more t han analyze rocks and feel awestruck(敬畏的)staring into the sky of anotherworld. Yet rocks can be an alyzed by automated probes without risk to huma n life, and ata tiny fraction of the cost of sending people.It is in teresti ng to note that whe n Preside nt Bush un veiled his proposal, he listedthese recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidenee of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplish ments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush' s proposal, which calls for reprogramming someof NASA s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reducti on in such unmanned scie nee —the one aspect of space explorati on that ' s working really well.Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using currenttech no logy, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researchi ng new launch systems and advaneed propulsion (推进力)? lf new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and adva need propulsi on could speed up that long, slow tran sit to Mars, the dream of stepp ing onto the red pla net might become reality. Mars will still be there whe n the tech no logy is ready.32. What do Lewis and Clark ' s expediti on and a Mars missi on have in com mon?A. In sta nt value.B. Huma n in habita nee.C. Ven ture cost.D. Explori ng spirit.33. Bush' s proposal is challenged for the following reasons except thatA. its expe nditure is too huge for the gover nment to afford.B. American people ' s well -being will suffer a lot if it is implementedC. great achieveme nts have already bee n made in Mars explorati on in AmericaD. unmanned Mars explorati on sounds more practical and econo mical for the mome nt34. Which cannot be con cluded from the passage?A. Going to Mars using curre nt tech no logy is quite un realistic.B. A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program.C. Bush ' s proposal is based on thre e recent great achievements of space explorationD. The achievements in space exploration show how well unmannedscienee has developed.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Risky as it is, a Mars missi on helps to retain Americas positi on as a tech no logical leader.B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.C. Someday people may go to Mars but not un til it makes tech no logical sen se.D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won ' t mak e great discoveries.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。
