Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) The majority of astronauts from America have been men. At the start of the sp

41、ace program there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASAbegan the first training program for women astronauts. Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astron

42、auts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-51-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training

43、in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a program of research. She was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel. Chrism McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she

44、 was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Chrism was a secondary teacher in histo

45、ry and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicant to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers). It was partly because of thi

46、s that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Chrism in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the

(C) Special trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemicalattacks are being planted by scientists in the US. When 40 per cent of Hawaiis US$14 million-a-year papaya (

53、木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered (转基因的) trees. Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees. Some researchers put spe

54、cial bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil. Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more pa

55、per. The Pentagon (五角大楼) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack. So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (杨树与桉树), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we hav

56、e a better understanding of tree genomes (基因组). However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment. It could be destructive, said Jim Diamon

57、d, an environmentalist. Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species. But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers. They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, s

58、o their effect on the environment can be controlled.88. Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?A. Trees that worms cant hurt.B.

62、 months.The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by dr

63、ivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers response.Tiredness is direc

64、tly related to a drivers response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver

65、 should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for

66、 six months time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.92.

67、s93. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?A. By sounding a warning.B. By touching the wristband.C. By checking the driving time.D. By pressing the steering wheel.94. We can learn form the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is _.A. about 400 m

68、illisecondsB. below 500 millisecondsC. over 500 millisecondsD. about 4 minutes95. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert _.A. moves more regularlyB. stops working properlyC. opens the window for the driverD. sounds more frequently and loudly (E)Directions: Read the text and choose t

If

73、a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated

74、to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. 99. _ Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust.
