25、etting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.“Whats really exciting is that its film for kids by kids,” sai

26、d Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to mak

27、e this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B.

33、ce across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and dont threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.Buy $ 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 ro

34、cks. By the time we spot a fatal one，the scientists say，well have a way to change 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 risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and

35、2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall，it would be the end of the world. “If we dont take care of these big asteroids，theyll take care of us,” sa

36、ys one scientist. “Its that simple.”The cure，though，might be worse than the disease.

Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected. D. Its still too early to say whether such a collision might occur. 38. What do people think of the s

39、uggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids? A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem. B. It may create more problems than it might solve. C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely. D. Further research should be done

40、 before it is proved applicable. 39. We can conclude from the passage that _ .

41、ons since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime D. workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth. 40. Which of the following best describes the authors tone in this passage? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Subjective.DIn the 1960s, medical r

42、esearchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some helpful life changing events like marriage.When

43、you take the Holmes Rahe you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress - it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studi

44、es had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran titles like “Stress causes illness.”If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles

45、said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many - like the death of loved one-are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from chances as well as trouble

46、. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes were all vulnerable and not active in the

47、face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.41. The score

48、of the Holmes Rahe test shows _ . A. how you can deal with life changing eventsB. how helpful events can change your life C. how stressful a major event can be D. how much pressure you are under42. Which of the following expressions has the meaning most close to the underlined phrase “got boiled dow

49、n to” in paragraph two ? A. was argued about B. made clear C. was concentrated on D. put an end to43. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _ . A. popular avoidance of stressful jobs B. great fear over the mental disorder C. a careful research into stress related illnesses D. widespread wo

50、rry about its harmful effects44. Why is “such simplistic advice ”(Line 2, Para.3) impossible to follow? A. No one can stay on the same job for long. B. More effective ways have been found to get rid of stressful events. C. People have to get married some day. D. You could be missing chances as well.

51、45. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _. A. nervous when faced with difficulties B. physically and mentally tired C. more able to deal with difficulties D. cold toward what happens to them第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息。选项中有一项是多余的。把选项的编
