12、ssibility 【小题 8】 convenience 完型填空 Learning to Accept I learned how to accept life as it is from my father.

We started talking about life, and I told them about one of my 4 . I said that we must very often give things up as we growour youth, our beauty, our
14、 friendsbut it always 5 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 6 up. He said, “But, Peter. I gave up 7 ! What did I gain ” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 8 , he answered his own question. “I 9 the love of my fami
15、ly.” I looked at my sisters, and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness. I was also 10 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated(激动的 ) at someone, I would remember his words and become 11 . He could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I sh
16、ould be 12 to give up my small irritations. In this 13 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Some other scientists from the MASA AMES Center(美国宇航局 ) have already started the creation of a “Mars town” and many others are in fact alrea
20、dy experimenting with it. Of course, these experiments are done on Earth itself but this “Mars town” has an environment practically like that of Mars. The astronauts working in these towns wear their space suit and also do everything they would really have to carry out if they ever go to Mars in the
21、 future. But Mars would be like Earth, a temporary（临时的） place for humans. When the Sun starts swallowing up(吞掉 ) the planets, Mars will disappear only hours after Earth. So Mars only seems to be the ideal place to spread the human beings. It is also a good location to send humans if ever there is a
22、disaster on Earth. By saying disaster, I mean asteroids(小行星 ) hitting and things like that. If we humans do not want to disappear when Earth or Mars gets swallowed up, we will have to go and live beyond the solar system. But are there any planets outside our solar system prepared to support life Ast
23、ronomers answer is: “If Earth can support life, why cant other planets do the same too Astronomers have already discovered a Jupiter(木星 )- like planet orbiting a Sun-like star, so why not an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star To achieve this goal though, many other problems have to be taken
24、into consideration. How do we transform(改造 ) a dusty planet like Mars into one more or less like our Earth How should we go on There is still a long way to go. 【小题 1】 The “Mars town” mentioned in the passage is _ A a research base on Mars. B an experimental lab built on Earth. C a strange place on M
25、ars . D a town existing in scientists imagination 【小题 2】 We can know from the passage that astronomers probably think _ A it is impossible to transport humans to other planets. B there may be an Earth-like planet outside the solar system C humans will move to the new-found Jupiter-like planet D ther
26、es no need for humans to move beyond the solar system. 【小题 3】 Why would Mars only be a temporary(临时 ) place for humans A The conditions there would be too hard for the human beings B There would be more disasters like asteroids hitting. C It would disappear when Earth disappeared. D It would be too
27、hot to live on. 【小题 4】 The underlined word “orbiting” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “_” A moving around B getting close to C passing by quickly D going through 【小题 5】 Which of the following would be the best title for this passage A Mars Town B Living on Mars C The Future of Earth
28、D Where to live in the Future 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 A 【小题 5】 D If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or
29、radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, e
30、arthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因 ) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanat
31、ions of why we feel as we do - as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送 ) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure
32、that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read- sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(煤体 ). They ac
33、tually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a
34、screen. 【小题 1】 What is the best title for the text A The Best Way to Get News B The Changes of Media C Make Your Own Newspaper D The Future of Newspapers 【小题 2】 In the writers opinion, in the future, _. A more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news B newspapers will not be printed
35、in publishing houses any longer. C newspapers will cover more scientific research D more and more people will watch TV. 【小题 3】 What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself A Sports and international news. B A menu of important news C The most important news. D What you are interested i
36、n 【小题 4】 From the text, we can infer that _. A newspapers will win the competition among the different media B newspapers will stay with us together with other media C television will take the place of newspapers. D some media will die out 【小题 5】 The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragrap
37、h means _. A depend on B compete with C fight with D kill of 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 A Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist Robert Hooke was all there and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of hi
38、s work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect, Christopher Wren. Hookes early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of
39、the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at he age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London- meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating(展示 ) new experiments a
40、t the societys weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him! Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes(消遣 ). He invented a compound microscope(显微镜 ) for this purpose. One day while observing a cork(软木塞 ) unde
41、r a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. There were cells the smallest units of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院 ). Another achievement of Hookes was his book Micrographia, which introduced
42、 the enormous potential(潜力 ) of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the thing he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity, light and combustion(燃烧 ) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories
43、on these phenomena(现象 ). Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(火山口 ) on the moon is named after him in honour of his services to this branch of science. 【小题 1】 We can infer from paragraph 2 that Hooke is _. A friendly B sociable C creative D helpful 【小题 2】 Which is the possibl
44、e reason why Hooke accepted the job as Curator of Experiments A He liked designing experiments. B His family needed his support. C He wanted to please the famous scientists in England. D His parents couldnt afford his education. 【小题 3】 The cell got its name because of _. A its use B its shape C Hook
45、es favourites D Hookes experiences 【小题 4】 Which of the following is true according to the text A Hooke went to Oxford in 1645. B Hooke was well paid in the Royal Society of London. C Hooke made a contribution to medicine. D Hookes book Micrographia may have helped Newton. 【小题 5】 The last paragraph i
46、s to prove that _. A Hooke was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century B Hooke was good at making discoveries C Hookes contributions were not limited to one field D Hooke was one of the greatest astronomers 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 A 【 小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 C London has more than nine m
47、illion visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames. You can see some of the most interesting places in London by getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly take
48、s you 135m above the River Thames. The River Thames is Londons main waterway. It has shaped the capitals landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of knowing more about the city is to take a trip along the river. The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bell, which you can hea
