totally unsuitable for human existence. People won"t have enough food supplies there, and the terrible
environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won"t be safe. Can
anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?
Steve Minear, UK
Here are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement
of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory…For scientists there is
another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.
Donal Trollop, Canada
There are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there
will be a human colony (殖民地) on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the
red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space flight is in the launches (发射) and landings.
Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way
to building an everlasting human settlement on another world.
Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will be sent to
the new colony. Mars has all the materials for a colony to produce or make everything it needs, and Mars is
far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.

C. Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars.
D. It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars.
B. two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soon

C. Humans can produce everything they need.
D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars.

举一反三
But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices (电子
产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and
listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as
they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much
attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They
can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also affects young people"s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about
their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave
a positive response (反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite
as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills.
They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel
that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it
unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
B. Take the place of.
C. Use at the same time.
D. Seek for information from.
B. family member do not greet each other
C. young people live happily in their families
D. young people seldom talk with their family members
B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.
B. following the natural time order
C. comparing opinions from different fields
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
(独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher
Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind
of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their
special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.
According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has
a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this
magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then
to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when
its horn was stuck in the tree.
When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn"s horn was said to have the power to
offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed-by drinking the contents
of a unicorn"s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used
cups made of"unicorn" horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal
value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What,
then, was "unicorn" horn? We know at times the rhino (犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature.
A drinking-cup supposedly made of"unicorn" horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.
B. Its horn was first used in France
C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx
D. It could be the symbol of a university
B. making use of the tree as a protection
C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn
D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree
B. the users of the unicorn horn
C. the price of the unicorn horn
D. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn
B. the unicorn does not exist in reality
C. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world
D. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated
stands to reason, if you"re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full
potential there"s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel
actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel------private rooms,
meals, bars. But they"ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and
the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of
this.
The hotels themselves will vary greatly----from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury
structure at a later date. It"s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels
were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven"t expected launch
costs to come down far enough to make them possible.
Lots of people who"ve been to space have described vividly what it"s like to live in zero gravity. There are
obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don"t need to sleep
much living in zero gravity, so you"ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window
looking down at the turning Earth below.
Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you"ll find yourself
heading back enough you"ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived.
You"ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs
to get to work in an orbiting hotel.

C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels
D. they want to realize the full potential of tourism

B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?
C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?
D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?

D. the description of space hotel
症患者). Such patients can be extremely good at something else. From the changing expressions on speakers"
faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies from truths.
Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics.
Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the
baggage.
Recently, scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed
group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of
the normal people in recognizing false speeches-in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but
the aphasics were not.
Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics. He mentioned a
particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV. Since the
president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his
feelings into every word of his speech.
But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didn"t seem to believe him. Instead,
they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying.
He was lying!
Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to
understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more gifted than normal people. Normal people
may get carried away by words. Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot
understand words.
B. They can find out the hidden drugs.
C. They can understand language better.
D. They can tell whether people are lying.
B. By organizing them into acting groups.
C. By comparing them with normal people.
D. By giving them chances to speak on TV.
B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others.
C. Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.
D. People poor at one thing can be good at another.
stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons
that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同龄人) group.
The lack of right male (男性的) role models in many of their lives - at home and particularly in the school
environment (环境)-means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don"t see men succeeding in society so it doesn"t occur to them that they could make something of
themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化) is all-
powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and
provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child"s
peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It"s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch
television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done
wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems - somewhere he can work away from his peers
and go home after the other children.
B. His parents no longer supported him.
C. It"s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
B. A special unit.
C. The student judges.
D. The home environment.
B. Train leaders of their peer groups.
C. Stop the development of street culture.
D. Give them lessons in a separate area.
B. teaches the boy a lesson
C. sends the boy home as punishment
D. works together with another teacher
