A movie about Earhart's exciting life has come out.B. Earhart never did things others could and would do.C. Earhart's love for aviation came after she flew a plane for a short time.D. In Earhart's opinion, women should think and act more independently.57．The underlined word in paragraph 2 means________.A．presented B．adopted C．published D．created58．From the passage we can know that ________.A．Earhart showed most interest in adventure trips to the Missouri River during her childhood B．Earhart's ambition was to fly across the AtlanticC．Earhart challenged herself constantlyD．Besides flying, Earhart also designed planes and clothes59．You can probably find this article in________.A．a booklet B．a newspaper C．a guide book D．an advertisementBSpace is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星), but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable(可忍的). Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous(巨大的) quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of this or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated(积累) a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.60. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is necessary to man because it _______.A. protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB. provides sufficient light for plant growthC. supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD. screens off the falling meteors61. We know from the passage that _________.A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal（致命的）B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC. radiation is avoidable in space explorationD. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage62. The harm radiation that has been done to the Apollo crew members ________.A. is insignificantB. is enormousC. seems overestimated（过高估计的）D. remains unknown63 It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. the Apollo mission was very successfulB. protection from space radiation is no easy jobC. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorersCNo one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom，about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people：as we get older，many of us will become less mobile，hard of hearing or have falling eyesight．Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities．Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases．The longer time goes on，the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents．Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them．Disabled people face many physical barriers．Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends，imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic？But there are other barriers：prejudice（偏见）can be even harder to break down and ignorance（无知）inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through，so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability，not their disability，which counts．64．The key word in Paragraph 4 is__________.A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. prejudiceD. barriers65．The last word of the passage“ counts” most probably means__________.A. being most importantB. being consideredC. being includedD. being numbered 66．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.B. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.C. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.D. There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.67 .It can be concluded from the passage that______ ．A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downC. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabledD. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabledD EVENTSA.

If you dial(拨) the telephone number 6500-3388 on Dec. 8, you can _________.A. go to the folk concertB. visit the Art MuseumC. watch the balletD. none of the aboveEResearch on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the humanbrain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e. to transplant a chip into o human brain. This innovation(改革) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.Experiments have started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available, deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted’s brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.Recently, another comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Never Research Institute of the University of California. The comprehensive memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was the largest such experiment done so far.The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up. “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.72. The purpose of the experiment is _________.A. to combine the computer and the human brainB. to make bear swimC. to make some stupid dog turn cleverD. to enlarge the applicable capacity of human brain73. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip wit useful information in Tallin’s brain.B. The comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research University.C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transpla nt of the memory area.D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment74. What does the underlined word “success” refer to?A. The two dogs woke up.B. They were both good at memorizing.C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius.D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of Idiot.75. According to the text, we can infer ________.A. a person can know more after the experimentB. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with relevant useful informationC. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory areaD. it is really good for animals to have been involved in the transplant experimentⅣ.任务型读写You can’t avoid a conflict at work. If you can avoid a conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.★Realize that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it’s not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.★Handle conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn’t said! Everyone’s waiting for the other to admit he’s wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It’s essential to interrupt the “waiting game” before it gets to that point.★Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don’t understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there’s a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappears right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.★Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it’s worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it’s a great way to move forward.假设在英语课上老师给你们欣赏了电影《太空大灌篮》的主题曲I Believe I Can Fly．这是一首催人奋进的励志歌曲．请你根据以下要点以“I Believe I Can Fly”为题，用英语写一篇短文，参加某英语杂志社的写作比赛．内容要点；1．这首歌告诉我们自信的重要性；2．自信给人勇气尝试，使人成功；3．梦想和自信使人勇于面对困难；4．没有梦想和自信，不会获得成功；5．你的感悟(考生自拟，至少一点)．注意：1．词数90左右．短文的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数；2．参考词汇：自信—confidence(n．)；3．短文须包括所有要点，不要逐词翻译，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺，文中不得出现真实的人名、校名等相关信息．I Believe I Can FlyI Believe I Can Fly is a nice song by R．Kelly．_______________Key:I.单选：21—35 DBADA CCADA BDBBAⅡ.完型：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了在一辆公共汽车上，有两个小偷想偷我钱包里的钱，却被一个漂亮女孩发现以及这个女孩如何帮“我”摆脱这两个小偷的故事。
