26、Scientists added a record of 715 more planets to the list known to the world beyond the solar system, astronomers said on Wednesday, in February 2014. The additions include four planets about 0.5-2 times as big as Earth that are the right distance from their parent stars for liquid surface water, which is believed to be fit for life.
The discoveries were made with the NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler space telescope. The telescope, launched in 2009, spent four productive years observing 160,000 target stars for signs of planets passing by, within the telescope’s sight.
The numbers of planets announced at a NASA press conference on Wednesday increased Kepler’s confirmed planets from 246 to 961. Combined with other telescopes’ results, the total number of planets beyond the solar system now is nearly 1,700. “We almost doubled, just today, the number of planets known to humans,” astronomer Douglas Hudgins, head of planet exploration at NASA Headquarters in Washington, told reporters on a conference call.
Many planets’ discovery is due to a new technique that analyzes potential planets in batches rather than one at a time. The method was developed after scientists realized that most planets, like those in the solar system, have similar worlds orbiting a common parent star.
The newly found planets strengthen the evidence that small planets, two to three times the size of Earth, are common throughout the galaxy(银河系).
“Generally, wherever (Kepler) can see them, it finds them,” said astronomer Sara Seager, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “That's why we have confidence that there will be planets like Earth in outer space.”
Like the solar system, which has eight planets plus Pluto and other so-called “dwarf planets,” the newly found planets belong to families. But unlike the solar system’s planets, which are about 150 times farther from the sun than Earth. Most of the planets fly nearer to their parent stars than Venus(金星) orbits the sun, a distance of about 67 million miles (108 million km.)
NASA and other space agencies are designing new telescopes to discover planets in so-called “habitable zones” around their parent stars where temperatures would be suitable for liquid surface water. Two papers on the new Kepler research will appear in an upcoming issue of ‘The Astrophysical Journal’.
【1】The underlined word ‘batches’ in the fourth paragraph probably means _____ here.
A. continent B. program
C. group D. association
【2】Through Kepler, Scientists have found more planets ________ throughout the galaxy.
A. the same size as Earth
B. about 0.5—2 times as big as Earth
C. twice the size of Earth
D. two to three times the size of Earth
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the planets known to the world are believed to be fit for life.
B. There may be liquid surface water on some of the newly found planets.
C. Kepler space telescope spent four years observing 160,000 target planets.
D. The orbits of the newly found planets are just like those of the solar system
【4】Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. US space telescope discovers more planets
B. Kepler observes many new target stars
C. Scientists believe 715 planets fit for life
D. NASA finds liquid surface water on the planets

28、Twenty years ago, I was a taxi driver. One night I received a call at 12:30 am. When I arrived at the address, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I waited for a while, and no one showed up. In this case, many drivers would just honk (按喇叭).
But I feared this passenger might be someone who was in need. So I walked to the door and knocked.“ Just a minute ,” answered an elderly lady. A few minutes later, a small woman in her 80’s stood before me. I helped her take the suitcase to the taxi. She kept thanking me.
Then she gave me an address, and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (疗养院).” “The doctor says I don’t have very long time to live. And I don’t have any family left,” she continued. I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
For the next two hours we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building and stare into the darkness, saying nothing.
When morning broke, we arrived at the address. She asked, “How much should I pay you?” “Nothing,” I said. She thanked me and said ,“ You give an old woman a little moment of joy.” Then behind me, a door was shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
We’re conditioned to think that our lives center on great moments. But great moments catch us unawares. When that woman said that I had brought her a moment of joy, I had good reasons to believe that I had been placed on earth for the single purpose of providing her with that last ride. I do not think that I have ever done anything in my life that was any more important.

29、It was a hot morning when I started my flight training. Nearly two hundred of us stood at attention. We were very excited that on this day, we would finally begin the "hands-on" part of flight training. We had been through thirteen tough weeks of basic training.
That morning, we were delighted to wait for the moment to climb into the training plane to actually begin learning to fly. Each of us was convinced that we would soon fly "above the best".
As we stood facing the officers, waiting for instructions, a tiny bird jumped out in front of us. It seemed confused and a little frightened. Suddenly, its mother flew over, as if encouraging it to fly. Everyone's eyes followed the birds. Even our officers turned to watch, mesmerized by the scene.
Over and over, the tiny bird ran as fast as its little legs could move, but it still failed to fly into the sky no matter how hard it had tried.
Completely ignoring the crowd of staring bystanders, the mother bird went on flying to and encouraging her little bird. AII two hundred of us watched breathlessly. Each time it made its way across the grass in front of us, we sighed at its failure.
Finally, after we had stood at attention for what seemed like hours just watching, those tiny wings could fly at last. You could almost see the little bird feel very proud. Then, we burst into wild cheers. We watched, as the little bird followed its mother to fly into the sky. Our officers turned back to us, smiling. We learned a lot from the little bird.

One day, my husband Mike and I decided to climb Nippletop Mountains. Our friends Emily and Jane gladly joined us. They were experienced hikers (远足者) .
We set off in the morning. It took us less than five hours to get to the top. It was almost 1:30 p.m. We’d have to head down soon while it was still light.
A friendly young hiker waved to us. “Hey, want me to take your picture?” “Sure!” I said. Emily and Jane squeezed (挤) in next to us. Mike gave the hiker his Phone. He took a few pictures. We took a different path so we could get down before dark. It was harder but shorter.
We spaced ourselves apart so we wouldn’t fall on each other. I led the way, setting a fast pace. The trail grew steeper. Carefully I sidestepped down the slope (斜坡). A quarter mile down, I stopped and looked up the trail for the others. I couldn’t see them.
Then a scream broke the quiet. Mike! He must have fallen. I climbed up the frozen slope. Finally I saw him, his hands were seizing his right leg. My eyes went to his foot, which pointed the wrong way. I shouted, “What happened?” “I slipped on the ice,” he said.
“Don’t worry,” I said, searching into my backpack but found nothing for a broken bone. Moments later, my friends came cautiously down. Jane checked Mike’s ankle. “We need to fix it with sticks,” she said.
“Here, try this,” I said, handing over my hiking poles (杖). I took off one of my shirts. Jane fixed a pole to Mike’s leg. But there was no way the three of us could carry him down this mountain, I pulled out my cell phone and dialed 911. No signal (信号) .
“Can I help?” It was the guy who’d taken our picture at the summit. “My husband fell. He’s hurt, and I don’t have service here. “Take mine,” he said. “I got service near the top.” I’d have to leave Mike and climb higher to get service.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

I kept trying 911, redialing even as I picked up speed.
