28、 possible.B Stephen Hawking, who spent his career decoding the universe and even experienced weightlessness, is urging the continuation of space exploration for humanitys sake. The 71-year-old Hawking said he did not think humans would survive another 1,000 years “without escaping beyond our fragile

29、 planet.”The British cosmologist(宇宙学家) made the remarks Tuesday before an audience of doctors, nurses and employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he toured a stem cell laboratory thats focused on trying to slow the progression of Lou Gehrigs disease.Hawking was diagnosed with the neurologica

30、l disorder 50 years ago while a student at Cambridge University. He recalled how he became depressed and initially didnt see a point in finishing his doctorate. But he continued to delve into his studies.“If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,” he said.Famous for his w

31、ork on black holes and the origins of the cosmos, Hawking is famous for bringing esoteric physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books.Hawking has survived longer than most people with Lou Gehrigs disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Theres no cure and no way to reverse(倒转) the diseases progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.Hawking receives around-the-clock care, c

33、an only communicate by twitching his cheek, and relies on a computer mounted to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a distinctive robotic monotone.Despite his diagnosis, Hawking has remained active. In 2007, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that creates weightlessness by making parab

Every one throughout the world felt deeply grieved at the news that MH370 becam

38、e missing with 227 passengers on board, including 153 from the Chinese mainland and one from Taiwan. The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines 777 plane brings back memories of Air France flight 447, which went missing over the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009.The Airbus A330 took off from Rio de Janeir

39、o and was bound for Paris when it crashed, killing all 228 people on board.When the Air France Operations Coordination Centre alerted the French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) that it had lost contact with the plane, a search began immediately, using air, naval, and u

40、nderwater operations, including autonomous underwater vehicles. The first bits of debris(碎片) were found on the ocean surface on June 6, five days after the crash. Most of the wreckage(残骸) was located in April, nearly two years later. The “black boxes” the cockpit(驾驶员座舱) voice recorder and flight dat

41、a recorder were found a month after that. Only then could investigators form a complete picture of what brought down the plane.The problem was that the jet crashed, the BEA final report says, “in a region with rough landform and whose ocean bed presents great variation in depth over short distances

42、of between 700 metres and 4,300 metres.” In other words, _. Most of the wreckage was eventually found 6.5 nautical miles from the last known position, on a plain 3,900 meters below the surface.So far, no wreckage from the Malaysia plane has been found, though a Vietnamese air force aircraft located

43、two large oil slicks that may be from the missing plane. The aerial search will continue once the sun has risen. Fortunately, the Gulf of Thailand is just 250 feet deep at its deepest point, according to airline analyst Robert W. Mann, Jr., so the search might be much shorter than the Air France one

44、.Investigators finally determined that the Air France flight went down after the pilots reacted improperly after ice crystals blocked air speed sensors. They ultimately stalled the plane, causing the crash.Theres no reason to think that the same thing happened here, because we have no information ab

45、out what happened to the Malaysia jet, and officials say there were no reports of bad weather along the route. A crucial step in figuring that out will be finding the wreckage and the black boxes. The search will still continue.62. According to the text, the following about Air France flight 447 is

46、true EXCEPT that _.A. It went missing on Childrens Day, 2009B. Most of the wreckage was found in April, 2011C. The “black boxes” were found in May, 2011D.

47、. It was an extremely risky area for plane B. it was a remarkably difficult area to search. C. It was a rather difficult area for help to reach D. It was a absolutely scary area for pilots64. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To keep us informed of the latest news about MH370B. To compare Air F

48、rance flight 447 with MH370C. To remind us of the air craft of Air France flight 447D. To appeal to us to look into the truth of the disappearance of MH370 DWinter is near at hand. On his bench in Madison Square, Soapy moved uneasily. A dead leaf fell in Soapys lap. Soapys mind became aware that the

49、 time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of ways and means to provide against the coming rigour(严寒). The winter ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. For years the hospitable Blackwells Prison had been his winter quarters. On the previous night three newspapers, dist

50、ributed beneath his coat, about his ankles and over his lap, had failed to fight the cold as he slept on his bench in the ancient square. So the Island appeared large and timely in Soapys mind. Determined to go to the Island, Soapy immediately set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy

51、 ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant, and then after declaring to be penniless, be handed over quietly to a policeman. A helpful judge would do the rest.Soapy left his bench and wandered out of the square. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped at a g

52、littering caf. but the head waiters eye fell upon his ragged trousers and shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk.At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights, Soapy took a cobble-stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running r

53、ound the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, waiting to be taken away. But the policemans mind refused to accept Soapy even as a clue.On the opposite side of the street was a small restaurant. At a table Soapy sat and consumed beefsteak, flap-jacks, and

54、 pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the fact that the minutest coin and himself were strangers.“Now, get busy and call a cop,” said Soapy. To his disappointment, neatly upon his left ear on the hard pavement, two waiters pitched Soapy. He struggled to his feet and beat the dust from his clothes

55、. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away.Five blocks Soapy travelled before his courage permitted him to run after capture again. A young woman of a modest and pleasing dress was standing before a show window gazing with shining interest at its display, and two yards from th

56、e window a large policeman leaned against a water-plug.Soapy sidled toward the young woman, causing her to move away a few steps. With half an eye he saw the policeman was watching him fixedly. Soapy bravely stepped to the womans side, raised his hat and said: “Ah, Bedelia! Dont you want to come and

57、 play in my yard?”“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if youll buy me some beers. Id have spoken to you sooner, but the cop was watching.” The young woman then became attached to him. At the next corner he shook off his companion and ran. On the sidewalk Soapy began to yell drunken gibberish(胡言乱语) at

58、the top of his harsh voice. He danced, howled, and otherwise disturbed the peace. A policeman turned his back to Soapy and explained to a citizen, “This is one of the Yale guys celebrating the goose egg they give to the Hartford College. Noisy, but no harm.” Depressed, Soapy paused his seemingly use

59、less roaring. Would never a policeman lay hands on him? In his fancy the Island seemed an unreachable Arcadia(世外桃源). In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man lighting a cigar at a swinging light. His silk umbrella he had set by the door on entering. Soapy stepped inside, secured the umbrella and w

60、ent off with it slowly. The man at the cigar light followed hurriedly.“My umbrella,” he said severely. “Oh, is it?” sneered Soapy, “Well, why dont you call a policeman? There stands one on the corner.”“ Well,”said the umbrella man, “You know how these mistakes occur. I, I, if its your umbrella, I ho

61、pe youll excuse me. I picked it up this morning in a restaurant. If you recognise it as yours, I hope youll” “Of course its mine,” said Soapy evilly.Soapy walked eastward through a street. He threw the umbrella angrily into a dustbin. He complained about the cop. He wanted to be thrown into the Blac

62、kwells, but they seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.65. What is the dream island that Soapy has been trying his best to enter? A. the hospitable Blackwells PrisonB. the bench in Madison Square C. the warm police stationD. the corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights66. How many times

63、 has Soapy tried but failed? A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 767. The following paragraph is taken from the passage. It can be put _.“Soapy turned off Broadway.

65、y found his lost umbrella unexpectedly but threw it away69. The author wrote the passage in a(n) _ way to make us deep in thought. A. conservativeB. teasingC. objectiveD. skeptical70.

Suddenly, he found thousands of starfish(海星) trapped in the shallow puddles(水坑) on the beach. As the sun rose, the water in the

77、puddles was disappearing and the starfish began to struggle for life desperately. However, they still had no hopes to go back to the sea not far away.As the man continued walking, he noticed a little boy picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean. Then he went over and asked

78、 the boy, “What are you doing?” The boy replied, “Im throwing starfish back into the water. If I leave them here, theyll dry up and die.” The man said, “But look how many starfish there are. What youre doing cant possibly make a great difference to all of them.” As the boy picked up another starfish

79、 and threw it into the ocean, he said, “Well, it makes a difference to this one!” Then he added, “Though I cant save all of them, I can make some of them survive with my efforts.”Moved by the lovely and warm-hearted boy, the man bent down to pick up the struggling starfish and threw them into water.

Consequently, th

83、e man was moved and joined the boy. Reading the impressive story, I find the boy was so kind-hearted that he should really deserve praise from all the people. Actually, he set a good example, especially to the young.My meaningful experience of offering help to a schoolmate will never escape from my

84、memory. One of my schoolmates suffered from a severe and rare disease, which put his family heavily into debt. Knowing this, I called on all the students to collect money for him. It was our timely efforts that helped him out of hardships. As a saying goes, “A small act of kindness goes a long way.” Therefore, I appeal to all the people to get involved in the campaign of offering a hand to others. Only when we offer assistance to each other voluntarily can we live in a harmonious society.
