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

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.

And I think most people b

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

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
