When the fragments (碎片 ) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by sc
25、ientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a frag
26、ment four kilometres wide enters the Earth s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards
27、 southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won t escape for long. T
28、ons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have
29、 survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙 ) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. Th
30、e dinosaurs couldn t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end? 56 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author s description of the disaster in 2094? （ A） The whole world becomes extremely cold. （ B） All the coastal cities in Africa a
31、re destroyed. （ C） The whole mankind becomes extinct. （ D） The visit of the comet results in wars. 57 Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? （ A） Because they could only live in the warm climate. （ B） Because they once dominated the Earth. （ C） Because their extinction indi
32、cates future disasters. （ D） Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age. 58 In writing the passage, the author intends to_. （ A） give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future （ B） prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed （ C） tell the historical developm
33、ent of the Earth （ D） warn of a possible disaster in the future 59 It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n)_. （ A） horror story （ B） news report （ C） research paper （ D） article of popular science 59 Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your fam
34、ily and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldnt agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “ Suze, you are so wrong. Money isnt the key to life this is!“ At which poin
35、t their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. Thats when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful b
36、oys and girls go to college? As their answers are “yes“ , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. Thats when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, theres no chance of
37、 ever being truly happy. Thats why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:“ People first. Then money. Then things. “ How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年 ), the percentage of Americans who say theyre happy hasnt c
38、hanged much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but were not much happier on average. A paradox(悖论 ) ? Far from it. My sense is that while were making more money, we arent making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to
39、worry a-bout saving for retirement (退休 ) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as man-y of you know, its really hard to increase your happiness when youve got a lot of money worries. Do you agree, or am I way off base?
