It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X —or Nibiru — heads toward or collides （冲撞） with the Earth.Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’ s existence, but t he US space agency denounced（指责）such stories as an “Internet hoax （恶作剧）”. “There is no factual basis for these claims,” NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more t han four billion years,” added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.（玛雅日历）NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”, NASA said.“And while comets and asteroids （小行星） have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare,” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs,” the spac e agency said.25. _____ played a key role in the spread of the rumors.A. A new bookB. The Internet and a new Hollywood movieC. NASAD. An Indian calendar26. We can infer that _____.A. people didn’t take the rumor seriouslyB. Planet X — or Nibiru does existC. astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten yearsD. the rumor caused a panic among some people27. NASA thinks that Eris _____.A. might pose a threat to the EarthB. doesn’t pose any threat to the EarthC. is too far away to be visibleD. is similar to our planet, where life might exist28. Which of the following is the best title？A. New Hollywood movie 2012B. December 21, 2012, NOT the end of the worldC. End of the ancient Mayan calendarD. How rumors came into beingCNo one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But , can they rise to the level of art ？ Organizers of an exhibit in New York think so.Peter Souleo Wright organized “The Button Show” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan . Eleven artists used the small , ordinary objects to create sculptures , portraits and wearable art . Some of the works are political , some are personal and others are just fun.Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art . “What I tried to do with this show,” he said , “ was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft.”He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and p recision in the work”.Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table . A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wine flowing down . Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor .McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin , buttons are highly personal . After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits , including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez .Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa , Alabama , placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long , narrow legs.“The Button Show” ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers：artist Danny , hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev﹒Run. The foundation seeks to bring the artists to urban youth and to provide support for new artists .29.Why did Wright org anize “The Button Show”？A. To show the importance of buttons .B. To support the new artists .C. To raise the button show to the level of art .D. To create sculptures and portraits .30.Whose works are personal ？A. Peter Souleo Wright .B. Beau McCall .C. Lisa Kokin .D. Amalia Amaki .31. If you want to see “The Button Show” , you should ____________.A. buy tickets before March 12B. phone Peter Souleo Wright before March 12C. go to Rush Arts GalleryD. go to the Rush Philanthropic Arts FoundationDIt was graduation day at Etihad Training Academy，where the national airline of the United Arab Emirates holds a seven-week training course for new flight attendants．Despite her obvious pride, Ms. Fathi，a 22-year-old from Egypt，was amazed to find herself here．“I never in my life thought I’d work abroad，” said Ms. Fathi，who was a university student in Cairo when she began noticing newspaper advertisements employing young Egyptians to work at airlines based in the Persian Gulf.Twenty years ago, unmarried Arab women like Ms．Fathi，working outside their home countries，were rare．But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs，more young women are doing so．Flight attendants have become the public face of the new mobility for some young Arab women，just as they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s．They have become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way．For many families, allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into question．Yet this culture is changing，said Musa Shteiwi，a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman．“We’re noticing more and more single women going to the gu lf these days，” he said．“It’s still not exactly common，but over the last four or five years it’s become quite an observable phenomenon.”Many of the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers，role models for their friends and younger female relatives. Young women brought up in a culture that highly values community，have learned to see themselves as individuals．The experience of living independently and working hard for high salaries hasforever changed their beliefs about themselves，though it can also lead to a painful sense of separation from their home countries and their families.—From New York Times （December 22，2014）32．It can be inferred from the passage that young Arab women _________．A．go to work abroad after American women’s exampleB．didn’t start to work abroad until the late 20th centuryC．are commonly used to living and working separatelyD．expect to take the same family responsibilities as men33．According to the passage，the Arab women flight attendants can be described as_________.A．proud，homesick or independent B．honest，outstanding or optimistic C．mature，enthusiastic or energetic D．painful，desperate or conservative 34．How do the public respond to young Arab women’s new mobility？A．The public think highly of it. B．The public care very little about it.C．The public show both interest and anxiety. D．The public are strongly against it. 35．The author intends to tell the readers that __________.A．Arab women can hardly find any workB．flight attendants are badly needed in the gulfC．flight attendants lead quite a different lifeD．young Arab women’s values are changing七选五：根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Today we are on the go, at our desks and even in front of computers.
