All you have to do is send a few comets (彗星 ) in the dire ction

26、 of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system. This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration（ NASA） engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan coul

27、d add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life. The plan put forward by Dr Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams ,needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its

28、gravitational energy to Earth. “Earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun,” Laughlin said. Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.

29、 Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated. In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously comprom

30、ise” our biosphere（生物圈） by cooking us. Thats why the group decided to try to save Earth. The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation（误算） in orb

31、it could fire it straight at Earthwith deadly consequences. There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is “most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth,” it states. This would g

32、reatly change our planets climate. 【小题 1】 What makes the scientists plan to move Earth A A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth. B Earths working life is coming to an end soon. C Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive. D The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.

33、 【小题 2】 If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of _years. A 12 billion B 6 billion C 18 billion D 24 billion 【小题 3】 What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage A The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon. B Earth might be moved too far away and

34、man might be frozen to death. C The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth. D Earths working life might be greatly shortened. 【小题 4】 What does the underlined word “compromise” mean A provide B benefit C share D endanger 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D Most of the people

35、who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors (统治者 ) and generals and soldiers, while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the l

36、ength of the year, or manured (施肥 )a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱 )in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people b

37、elieve that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages（野蛮人） ; so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way

38、in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done i s not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting

39、 means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their d isputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has be

40、en in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that power is right. This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated (disabled). And while today it i

41、s true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages. 【小题 1】 In the opening sentenc

42、e, the author indicates that . A most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers B history book tell us far more about conquerors, generals and soldiers than actual creators of civilization C those who rally helped human civilization forward is not mentioned in history books at

43、all D conquerors, generals and soldiers should be least mentioned in history books 【小题 2】 According to the passage, most people believe that the greatest countries are those that .

A certainly both the most powerful and most civilized. B neither the greatest nor the most ci

45、vilized in any way. C possibly either the most civilized or the most powerful in a way.

46、who are powerful have the right to go to war. C those who are right should fight against those who are wrong. D only powerful nations might win the right to rule weak ones. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 A Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner did now

47、know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good. But nobody seemed to want to eat there. Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each

48、of them a beautiful menu. The menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu that he gave to the lady gave a much higher price. So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more gen erous than he really was. 【小题 1】 Why didnt people come to the Whi
