Later in life whenever I got a promotion, Id call my father right away and hed rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970, when I was named presi

26、dent of the Ford Motor Company, I dont know which of us was more excited.Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their love not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity

27、 nothing could have felt more natural.He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didnt get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a

28、result, he never again trusted any vehicle（车辆）with less than four wheels.Because of that motorcycle, I wasnt allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixte

33、 Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese? A. 报酬 B. 好处 C. 提升 D. 快乐BWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questi

34、ons that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. P

35、erhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possibleNearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the dangerW

36、ith knowledge, we can lessen its effectsExploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be foundEven if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful laterResources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploratio

37、nThe techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored su

38、nglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders an

39、d explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not existWhile Earth is the only planet known to support life, sur

40、ely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future61、Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A.

44、 Earth.C Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with

45、such problems. However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse. Now Halley set to

46、work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart. This seemed very strange to Halley. T

47、hree different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about , the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought . He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again. It was an astonishi

48、ng idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died so

49、me years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys comet, in his honor. 66. Halley made his discovery _. A. by doing experimentsB. by using the work of other scientistsC. by means of his own careful observationD. by chance67. Halley made a surprising but correct prediction in the ye

50、ar_. A. 1705B. 1758 C. 1776D. 160768. This passage in general is about _. A. Halley and other scientists B. the orbit of a comet C. Newton and Halley D. Halley and his discovery69. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Edmund Halley was an American scientist. B. Halley made his discovery by doing experi

51、ment. C. Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician. D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around. 70. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of_.A. some different comets appearing several timesB. the same comet appearing at different timesC. three different comets appearing at the same timeD. sever

52、al comets appearing at the same timeDWhat will man be like in the future in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even

53、five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make

54、 use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use

55、. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time

56、, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.

57、Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and motions similar to our ow

58、n.71. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. Mans life will be different in the futureB. Future man will look quite different from usC. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. Mans organs functions will change72. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes

59、 now than he ever had.B. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.73. The change in mans size of the forehead is probably because _.A. he makes use of only 20% of the brains capacityB. his bra

60、in has grown larger over the past centuriesC. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on 74. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wear

61、s better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in a different way.75. It is implied that _.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a cha
