                   For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of
              these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to
              get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through
              space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages. 　
                   Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100
              light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to "listen" for radio messages from more distant
              stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are
              looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise. 　
                   Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that 5% are like our sun.
              Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star
              for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in)
              planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support
              some life.
                   However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty
              years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the
              evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
                   Other scientists believe that our search hasn't been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent
              life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20
              billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than
              ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the
              signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep
              looking.
              1. According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable? 　　
              A. 5 billion. 　
              B. 10 billion.　　
              C. 15 billion.　　
              D. 200 billion
              2. The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _______. 　　
              A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets 　　
              B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets 　　
              C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets 　　
              D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
              3. The underlined word "monitor" in the passage means" _______". 　　
              A. find　　　
              B. follow　　
              C. check　　　
              D. form
              4. Which of these statements is True based on the information in the passage? 　　
              A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy. 　　
              B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. 　　
              C. Scientists don't believe that there might be life on other planets.
              D. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.

                    Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that
              men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
                    The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked
              to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
                    "We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,"
              said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
                    "Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third
              of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process." 
                     What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old
              woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
                     "This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They
              studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons
              to remove the confusing influence of disease."The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the
              male heart," said Goldspink.
                    The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed
              that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
              1. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to "_____".
              [     ]

              A. health
              B. long life
              C. ageing
              D. effect
              2. The text mainly talks about _____.
              [     ]

              A. men's heart cells
              B. women's ageing process
              C. the gender difference
              D. hearts and long life
              3. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _____.
              [     ]

              A. women have more cells than men when they are born
              B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
              C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age
              D. women never lose their pumping power with age
              4. If you want to live longer, you should _____.
              [     ]

              A. enable your heart to beat much faster
              B. find out the reason for ageing
              C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy
              D. prevent your cells from being lost

                   People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings, they are clever
              enough to learn certain things.
                   Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will
              always lead his blind master (主人) in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye
              dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.
                   Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never
              to be frightened of noises and traffic. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they
              are also quite high strung (紧张). Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient
              (耐心) and understanding.
                   The movie and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy
              to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by putting something that smells good to the
              animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they come happily back
              to their families or dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him.
              However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death.
              1. Seeing-eye dogs have to learn the following except _____.
              [     ]

              A. following the master's order anytime
              B. leading their master in the right direction
              C. keeping their master safe while leading the way
              D. crossing a busy road at the proper time
              2. What does "make a trail" mean here in the last paragraph?
              [     ]

              A. place something to attract the animal
              B. give the animal a certain task
              C. order the animal to do things
              D. follow the animal to hunt
              3. Lions can be photographed easily when _____.
              [     ]

              A. they are following a trail of something that smells good
              B. they are returning to their families
              C. they have been trained to work with other animals
              D. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby
              4. Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?
              [     ]

              A. Dangerous wild animals can be trained.
              B. Dogs can be trained to help blind people.
              C. Animals can be trained to learn certain things.
              D. Animals can become interested in learning.

            • 4． 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
              注意：每空格1个单词。
                    Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not
              necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.
                    1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have
              to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping,
              dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for
              entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is
              happening to your time.
                    2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which
              may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios,
              or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
                    3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers
              say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher
              says.
                    4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review (回顾) the important
              points that your teacher taught in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,
              read that material and it will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.   
                    5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about
              a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so
              don't be overly worried.
                    There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many
              others after you have tried these.

                   "It hurts me more than you." and "This is for your own good." These are the statements my mother used
              to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. 　　
                   That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to
              push our children to achieve their best in school. 　　
                   The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was right to be parents who take
              a let alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators (计算器), turned
              on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. 　　
                   Now teachers, having taught many children who have been developing at their own step for the past 15
              years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. Sharon Klompus is such a teacher who thinks her students
              "so passive" and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them. She believes that Television
              contributes to children's passivity. "We're not training kids to work anymore," says Klompus. "We're talking
              about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it
              for them. Instead of saying' go and look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to
              a kid." 　　
                   Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vecation and come back
              to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's
              for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.

                   Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the
              purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
                   In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that hy free education for all-
              whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.
              But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger
              number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work
              with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to
              understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor.
              We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the
              rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
                   In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated
              in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly,
              that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work.
              Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
              1. The writer of this passage thinks that _____.
              [     ]

              A. education can settle all of the world's problems

              A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
              B. our society needs free education for all

              [     ]

                   Working at home is increasing in popularity as a means of escaping from nine-to-five office life. Why
              work under the constant watch of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your carpet slippers?
              Armed with all the office essentials-telephone, computer, e-mail and fax, many workers believe they can
              work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like: from a busy city
              to a beautiful village, and make working from home an attractive choice, you can even work on a canal boat,
              like one Internet firm in the Midlands, US.
                   So what will become of the office of tomorrow? I believe it is likely that many could disappear into
              cyberspace. To minimize office overheads in inner-city areas, companies will apply a workforce made up
              of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central
              processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends'out work schedules and oversees the
              activity of each employee.
                   As a successor to the Web Cam, a video screen would be created, as the need for more natural form
              of interaction than e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Capturing the mood and expressions of work
              colleagues, managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employees
              would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to
              make the company work more effectively. As the company's life blood, the computer would contain a
              record of all conversations and correspondence for future reference, and hold confidential information such
              as accounts in password protected areas. In the office of tomorrow, with daily life captured in detail, the
              case for firing employees could be more cleat cut.
              1. The first paragraph mainly focuses on _____.
              A. the office to working at home
              B. preference to working at home

              B. a network
              C. in inner-city areas
              D. a central processing computer
              3. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "oversees" probably means _____.
              A. overlook
              B. organize
              C. make out
              D. watch over
              4. A video screen would be built because _____.
              A. the Web Cam needs it
              B. it is useful to fellow workers
              C. e-mail or telephone is out of date
              D. managers can clearly spot employees
