BOur days on Earth are numbered, according to Professor Stephen Hawking.The world-famous physicist has previously issued warnings to the world that robots could wipe out mankind

39、and that leaving Earth is our only hope. “I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as a sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or catastrophic global warming,” he said. “I think the human race has no future if it doesnt go to spac

40、e.”Hawking said that increasingly, most of the threats mankind faces come from progress in technology. “We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we must recognise the dangers and control them.” To get away from these threats, humankind will have to go to other planets, which Hawki

41、ng believes will take more than a century. “We will not set up self-sustaining colonies (殖民地) in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period,” Hawking said.Research about sending humans into space remains strong.In September the US Senate introduced a bill

42、 that approves a new $19.5 billion (15 billion) budget for Nasa to send a crew to the red planet, but commanded it must happen within the next 25 years.Professor Hawking has also previously singled out the risk of artificial intelligence (AI人工智能) becoming powerful enough to cause the downfall of man

43、kind.In July, Professor Hawking and Tesla founder Elon Musk led 1,000 robotics experts in an open letter warning that “Weapons entirely powered by AI will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow”. “The probable life span (寿命) of human civilization is much greater if were a multi-planet species as oppose

44、d to a single-planet species,” Elon Musk said last year. His company SpaceX is working to send humans to space. In September, the firm test fired one of its new Raptor “interplanetary transport engines” which the company will use to carry astronauts to Mars.58. What does the underlined word “reverse

45、” in Para 4 mean?A. recognise and controlB. get away fromC. change to the oppositeD. single out59. Which of the following might Professor Hawking NOT agree with?A. The human race has no way out but to stop progress in technology.B. It will take at least one century to colonize a planet.C. Artificial

46、 intelligence will bring disasters to the human race.D. Mankind is facing many dangers caused by technological progress60. The underlined sentence “Our days on Earth are numbered” implies _.A. We are particular creatures living on earth.B. We cant live on earth for much longer.C. There are too many

47、days for human existence.D. Each day has its particular meaning. 61. The paragraphs following this passage would probably talk about _.A. how to make human life span longerB. more threats the human race facesC. the risk of artificial intelligence D. Space Xs plan to colonize MarsC If you watch wolve

48、s, its hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and humans. Living as we do in families, we can easily recognize the social structures and status search in wolf packs. No wonder Native Americans recognized in wolves a sibling (兄弟姐妹) spirit. An

49、d no wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as alpha malesto “wolf up,” as it were. The term alpha male indicates a man who at every moment shows that hes in control in the home and who can become aggressive (好斗的).This alpha male stereotype comes from a misunderstanding of the real thi

50、ng. By observing wolves in free-living packs in Yellowstone National Park, Ive seen that the leadership of the alpha male is not forced, and not aggressive to those on his team. “The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the experienced wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching

51、 gray wolves, “is a quiet confidence. You know what you need to do; you know whats best for your pack. You lead by example. Youre very comfortable with that. You have a calming effect.”The point is, alpha males are not aggressive. They dont need to be. “Think of an emotionally secure man or a great

52、champion. Whatever he needed to prove is already proven,” he said. There is an evolutionary logic to it. “Imagine two wolf packs, or two human groups,” McIntyre said. “Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the one whose members are more cooperative, more sharing, less violent (暴力的) with one

53、 another, or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?”Thus, an alpha male may be a major player in a successful hunt, but after the takedown of the prey (猎物), he may step away and sleep until his pack has eaten and is full.McIntyre has spent 20years watching

54、and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service. He rises early, uses radio telemetry (遥感勘测) to locate a pack through a radio-collared pack member, then heads out with his spotting scope (观测镜) to observe the animals, keeping careful notes of their activities.In all that time, he has

55、 rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the packs other members. They are his familyhis mate, offspring (both biological and adopted), and maybe a sibling.This does not mean that alpha males are not aggressive when they need to be. One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number,

56、 M21, became his name, was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed his life. He was fierce (凶猛的) in defense of family and clearly never lost a fight with a male wolf. Within his own pack, one of his favorite things was to play with little pups (幼兽).“And what he really loved to d

57、o was to pretend to lose. He just got fun from it,” McIntyre said.One year, a pup was a bit sickly. The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldnt play with him. Once, after delivering food for the small pups, M21 stood looking around for something. Soon he started wagging (摇摆) his tail. Hed

58、been looking for the sickly little pup, and he went over just to play with him for a while.Of all McIntyres stories about the super wolf, thats his favorite. Strength impresses us. But kindness is what we remember best. Biologists used to consider the alpha male the big boss. But now they recognize

59、two systems at work in wolf packsone for the males, the other for the females. Doug Smith, the biologist who is the project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project, said the females “do most of the decision making” for the pack, including where to travel, when to rest, and when to h

60、unt. The matriarchs (女族长的) personality can influence the whole pack, Smith said. Or, as McIntyre put it: “Its the alpha female who really takes control of the pack.” Clearly, our alpha male stereotype should be shaken off. Men can learn a thing or two from real wolves: less soar, more quiet confiden

61、ce, leading by example, faithful devotion in the care and defense of families, respect for females, and a sharing of responsibilities. Thats really what wolfing up should mean. 62. What does the underlined “alpha male stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. That wolves have a sibling spirit. B. That

62、 alpha males are aggressive and in control at home. C. That humans face pressure to be alpha males. D. That wolves and humans are alike.63. Why is the example of M21 mentioned? A. To prove alpha males are tough if necessary.B. To compare it with other super wolves. C. To illustrate that it is McInty

63、res favorite. D. To show how the research was carried out.64. Which of the following images most resembles a real alpha male? A. A strict father who never smiles at his children. B. A father who does most of the decision making. C. A general who never loses a battle in defense of his country. D. A p

64、owerful executive shouting at a board meeting.65. The best title of the passage should be _. A. Wolf familiesB. The matriarch C. Supreme bossesD. Alpha males DFrom where I live on the coast of Californias Monterey Peninsula, there is no easy way to go anywhere. We have roads with views that will ama

65、ze you, but few fast lanes (车道). To go north to San Francisco, you take the Old Coast Highway, and then go ahead to 101, a multilane freeway, which, depending on weather and traffic, will finally get you where youre going or drive you crazy. But the part I feared most was a narrow two-lane stretch (

66、段) of a road that connected the two. In the south, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails. Roads are like people; they have personalities - colored by how we see and feel about them at particular times. My husband taught me this about roads. Randy was an athlete, body and soul. A high sch

67、ool basketball coach, he loved and worked out with his teams. He was a marathoner who could run miles and not be tired. In 25 years of teaching he rarely had a sick day. And then he had cancer. So we began another race down another road: a four-year-long marathon to Stanford University Medical Cente

68、r for routine treatment and more than a few emergencies. And to get to the hospital we had to travel those impossible roads - 91 miles, two hours. I hated every minute and inch. I especially hated that traffic-crowded cow trail. Then they started construction. Randy never complained. But as he grew

69、weaker, I tried to avoid that cow trail to shorten our drive. I spent hours with maps but found that there was no getting around it. I had no choice but to drive it. Once, when we were running late for a meeting with the doctor, I complained, “I hate this stupid road.” “Four miles,” he said. I looke

70、d over. His eyes were closed. “What did you say?” I asked. “This part of the road,” he said in his calm voice. “Its only four miles long. Thats easy. You can do anything for four miles.” I checked the odometer(里程表). He was right. Four miles exactly. I could have sworn it was 20. Suddenly the drive g

71、ot easier. Four miles was doable and understandable. It was the distance we walked in the evening from our house to the beach and back. It was half the length of a mountain trail he loved to hike (远足) in Yosemite, with a baby on his back. Four short trips to our local park to play catch with our kid

72、s. A part of the 26 miles he once ran in the Big Sur International Marathon. Four miles was nothing - certainly not a space or time worth wasting in anger when he had only months to live. So I stopped complaining. I started really looking. And there appeared green acres of fields that shined in the

73、sun. Strawberries and roses stand at the roadside. And there was an old white horse watching cars running down the open road. Those things had always been there, but I had never noticed. Randy taught me how to see them. Now when the road is long and hard, I break it into pieces in my soul. I divide

74、it into four-mile stretches. You can tolerate anything for four miles - even find beauty and acceptance along the way.66. It can be leant from Paragraph 1 that _.A. you can drive crazily on 101 in a fine day B. the roads are very dangerous and amazing C. the cow trail joined the Old Coast Highway an

75、d 101 D. the roads to go north are narrow and rough67. Which of the following about Randy is NOT right?A. He had a strong love for playing sports.B. His poor health was due to 25 years overwork.C. He was very ill and could only live for months.D. He had fought with cancer for about four years.68. It

76、 can be inferred from the last but one paragraph that _.A. Four miles was nothing worth wasting in anger. B. The author didnt see the beautiful views on roads.C. Anything is acceptable if you see it differently.D. The author misread the odometer as 20 miles.69. What is the message conveyed in the pa

77、ssage?A. Complains makes no sense.B. Life is short and time is zipping by.C. A merry heart makes a long life.D. Situations are affected by our attitude.70. The best title for the passage would be _A. Last four miles of roads B. A stretch of hard roadC. Personalities of roadsD. Beauty along the way第I
