8、s(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a

9、 collision course with Earth. Buy 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, well have a way to chang

10、e its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldnt be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risks are: How likely the event is; and How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enoug

11、h to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500, 000 years. Sounds pretty rarebut if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we dont take care of these asteroids, theyll take care of us, ”says one scientist. “Its that simple. ”The cure, though, might be worse than the disease

12、. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(世界末日) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against it, ”said a New York Times article. 【文章大意】本文叙述了小行星和划破夜空的流星是性质一样的物质, 只是体积大些。但是小行星撞击地球的可能性每50万年才可能有一次, 但一旦发生, 将是地球末日。人们现在提出用核武器来改变小行星

13、的轨道, 但是现在人们对这个方法担心重重, 可行的解决方法仍在寻找之中。1. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature. C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids. D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids. 【解析】选B。

14、推理判断题。文章第二段第一句指出, 小行星是比划过夜空的流星大的天体。可见二者是性质相同的天体, 只是大小不同。2. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists. B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years. C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expe

15、cted. D. Its still too early to say whether such a collision might occur. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。文章第二段后两句指出, 绝大多数的小行星围绕太阳运行, 远离地球, 不会威胁到我们。但仍然有上千颗小行星可能撞击地球。可见, 小行星与地球相撞的可能性很小, 但危险确实存在。3. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids? A. It sounds practical bu

16、t it may not solve the problem. B. It may create more problems than it might slove. C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely. D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。最后一段第一句中, “cure”指解决办法, 即用核武器改变小行星的运行轨道, 而“diseas

17、e”指小行星可能与地球碰撞这件事情。由此本句可理解为核武器会比小行星带来更糟的后果, 并且带给人们更大的恐慌。4. We can conclude from the passage that . A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB. asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC. the worry about asteroids can be left t

18、o future generations since it is unlike to happen in our lifetime. D. workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth【解析】选D。推理判断题。本文虽然提到了用核武器对付小行星的建议, 但同时指出人们对这种解决方法担心重重, 可见, 可行的解决方法仍在寻找之中。BFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs o

19、f 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

20、such messages. Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan(扫视) the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more t

21、han 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, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable di

22、stance 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 intellige

23、nt 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 hasnt been long enough to rule out the p

24、ossibility 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 civilizations are much more advanced than ours. Perhaps these civilizations send us no

25、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. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了科学家如何在其他星球寻找生命的迹象。5. According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable? A. 15 billion. B. 10 bil

26、lion. C. 5 billion. D. 200 billion. 【解析】选 C。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一、二句 Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. 可知, 科学家们发现, 在银河系的2 000亿颗恒星中, 有5%与太阳很像, 也许这5%的恒星中有50%有像地球这样的行星。因此行星有2005%50%=5 billion。故正

27、确答案为C。6. The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about. A. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsB. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsC. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsD. when scientists are looking for signs of

28、life on other planets【解析】选B。段落大意题。根据文章第一段第一、二句 For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets.

29、 followC. formD. check【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句 Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. 可知, 他们使用一台电脑能够同时检查八个频道。find 意为“寻找”, follow 意为“跟随”, form 意为“形成”, check 意为“检查”, 故D项符合文意。8. Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage? A.

30、Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets. B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. C. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy. D. Scientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章第一段

31、最后一句中 Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space 和第二段第一句中 Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars 可知, 科学家努力用不同的方法寻找其他星球的生命迹象。. 短文改错Last year, my family and I decide to go to Sanya celebrate my birth
