She dug into a boxand pulled out a baseball card. Shestopped for a moment and admiredthe picture. “Red Stocking B. B.Club of Cincinnati,” the card read,under the reddish-brown color photoof 10 men with their socks pulledup to their knees.As a collector and seller, it's her job tospot old items that might have value today，It’s what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique store．This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay. She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction. She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against$15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents. Later that night she got a few odd inquiries—someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the card immediately．The card is actually 139 years old. Sports card collectors call the find "extremelyrare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at auction．Just like that, Bemice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story．"I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game．" The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back. It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200．When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was—an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings．"When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says“They’ve uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine. That card is history．It's likeunearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso．"24.What can we conclude from Paragraph3A.Bernice wanted to end the auction that night．B.Bernice decided to sell the card for $15．C.Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBayD.eBay charged her 20 cents for the card．25.Theunderlined word "fetch" in Paragraph 4 most probably means " "．A. go and bringB. be sold forC. add up toD. go down to26.From the passage, we may learn that ．A.Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball cardB.Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball cardC.Bernice didn't realize the value of the card until she put it up forauctionD.Bernice is a baseball fan27.What would be the best title for the passageA. Bemice Gallego—A Lucky CollectorB. Sports Card CollectorsC. The History of the Baseball CardD. A Surprisingly Valuable DiscoveryCResearchers in the field of psychologyhave found that one of the best ways to makean important decision, such as choosing auniversity to attend or a business to investin, involves the use of a decision worksheet.Psychologists compare the actual decisionsmade by people to theoretical ideal decisionsto see how similar they are. Supporters ofthe worksheet procedure believe that it willhelp people make optimal, that is, the bestdecisions. Although there are several changeson theexact forms that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the related considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical (数字的) value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points comes out as the best decision.Since most important problems are multifaceted(多方面的), there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables(可变因素) than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I do after graduation” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year. A decision-making worksheet begins with a clear statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction betweenlong-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might change the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career”28.Of the following steps, which occurs before the three other stepsin making a decision worksheetA.Listing the consequences of each solution.B.Calculating a numerical summary of each solution.C.Deciding which consequences are most important.D.Writing down all possible solutions.29.According to decision-making worksheet theory, an optimal decisionis defined as one that .A.has the fewest variables to consideres the most decision worksheetsC.has the most points assigned to itD.is agreed to by the greatest number of people30.The authordevelops the discussion in Para. 1 by means of .A.describing a processB.classifying types of worksheetsC.providing historical backgroundD.explaining a theory31.T he author states that “On the average, people can keep aboutseven ideas in their minds at once” in the last paragraph toexplain that .A.most decisions involve seven stepsB.human mental capacity has limitationsC.some people have difficulty making minor as well as majordecisionsD.people can keep more than seven ideas in their minds withpracticeDWhy Mars is New SettlementIs it possible to live on other planets The United States government is taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon are too extreme and unnecessary.One major reason that the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and allother lives from a continuous attack of radiation caused by sources such as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to human beings. Although Mars’ atmosphere i s significantly thinner than Earth’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans.Another important characteristic for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also sufficient evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planetwarms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon.Future settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example, hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen ( 氮气) to form new materials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages, Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive.Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth andit contains resources necessary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind of long-term human settlement. The settlement on Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent chance for mankind to improve itself from past adventures on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer.32.According to Paragraph 2, the atmosphere on Mars would .A.change the DNA structure of humansB.measure the harmful radiation from spaceC.provide protection against dangerous effectsD.cause humans to be exposed to serious illnesses33.What can be inferred about water on MarsA.It is not present in a liquid state.B.It doesn’t exist in large quantities.C.It will bring potential dangers to settlers.D.It can be easily changed into liquid forms.34.The author believes that .A.exploration of Mars takes great riskB.natural resources on Mars last foreverC.settlement on Mars is perfectly acceptableD.Mars is more suitable for settlement than Earth35.Which of the following shows the developmentof ideas in the passage CP: Central Point P: PointSp: Sub-point(次要点) C:ConclusionA.
