26、This is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.

The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5 collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.

“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.

It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.

“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”

But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climb Mount Everest with a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.

Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.

Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.

27、This month, more than 4 million students across the Unites States will begin with their tenth grade, which is the make or break year for many 15-and 16-year-olds. They are likely to study in completely new schools, and have much more schoolwork and less free time. Even for those students who have done well in the ninth grade, going to high school can be a big challenge (挑战).

A study of Philadelphia high schools found that 57% (more than half!) of the students will experience the so-called "Tenth-grade shock" which means that many students will find big difficulties in their study. Some students deal with this shock by avoiding challenges. For example, some may drop difficult school work. Others may experience a hopelessness that results in failing their major classes, such as English, science and math.

This should matter a great deal for the teachers because students' smooth transition(过 渡)to tenth grade can have long-term consequences (后果) not only for the students themselves and their families but also for the society at large.

In the new economy, students who fail to finish high school with passing grades might have difficulty to get jobs. One study has found that the lifetime benefit to the local economy for one additional student who completes high school is half a million dollars or more. This is based on higher earnings and lower costs in health care, crime and other things.

We make these observations (观察) as researchers who have studied how schools and families can help young people to be successful. And we would like to make some suggestions on how to help our teenagers go through the "Tenth-grade shock”.

【1】What is the so-called “Tenth-grade shock”?

A．The free time the tenth graders will enjoy.

B．The new teachers the tenth graders will meet.

C．The challenges the tenth graders will face.

D．The difficulties the tenth graders have gone through.

【2】Who does the underlined word “we” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Researchers.

B．Parents.

C．Teachers.

D．Reporters.

【3】Where is this text most likely taken from?

A．An open letter.

B．A research paper.

C．A survey.

D．A guidebook.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．The Best Advice for the Tenth Graders

B．The Importance of High School Education

C．The New and Hard Life for the Tenth Graders

D．The Possible Tenth-grade Shock and Its Consequences

28、Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans Available

♢ Continental Breakfast

♢ Breakfast and Dinner

♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.

【1】.The passage is probably written for________.

A. host willing to receive foreign students

B. foreigners hoping to build British culture

C. travellers planning to visit families in London

D. English learners applying to live in English homes

【2】What can be inferred from this passage?

A. a Continental Breakfast normally consists of bread, fruit and tea or coffee

B. you cannot invite your friend over to a visit as it is an invasion of your host’s privacy.

C. Zone 4 is less crowded than Zone 2.

D. Accommodation in the city centre is not provided.

【3】Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?

A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.

B. To enrich their knowledge of English.

C. To entertain friends as they like.

D. To enjoy much more freedom.

29、A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

The unpunctual man, on one hand, never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (财产) as well as others. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.

Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

【1】What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person?

A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time.

B. An unpunctual person never does anything at the right time.

C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments.

D. An unpunctual person has little time to do anything.

【2】According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that _______.

A. he has more work to do than other people

B. he is always in a hurry when he works

C. he doesn’t care much about time

D. he always mismanages and wastes his time

【3】If someone isn’t punctual in keeping his appointments, he might ________.

A. lose his life

B. mismanage his asset

C. be thought to disrespect others

D. do harm to others

【4】According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there ________.

A. after other guests

B. before other guests

C. at the appointed time

D. after the host getting things ready

【5】Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?

A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.

B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.

D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.
