26、Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

Perhaps the best answer lies in  our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. W ithout knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin -offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick  pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!

While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

【1】Why does the author mention the questions?

A. To express his doubts.

B. To compare different ideas.

C. To introduce points for discussion.

D. To describe the conditions on Earth.

【2】What is the reason for exploring space based on?

A. Humans are nature born to do so.

B. Humans have the tendency to fight.

C. Humans may find new sources of food.

D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.

【3】The underlined word “spin-­offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ___.

A. survival chances

B. unexpected benefits

C. potential resources

D. physical possessions

【4】Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

A. Space exploration has created many wonders.

B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.

C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.

D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

27、   We know it’s good to learn another language. It opens doors, makes you more employable, helps you make new friends, and it’s fun too. But to improve our language skills, many of us have to endure hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. It’s no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning.

There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to earn money on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available.

Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon –– lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom. Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other commitments. But they’re not perfect –– you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the partner support you could get in a classroom environment.

So, does technology imply the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He thought that apps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to the exclude traditional teaching. And he adds: “The apps are not formal... they’re not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.”

Certainly, technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more devoted. Motivation can be a problem when using an app. But if you have a genuine and practical reason to learn another language, you will no doubt stick with it.

【1】All the following are the benefits of learning another language except _______________.

A.saving you more money

B.giving you much pleasure

C.helping you in making new friends

D.making you more competitive in finding jobs

【2】It can be learned from paragraph 3 that _______________.

A.apps permit you to learn at your own pace

B.languages taught on apps are common ones

C.you can learn any language on educational apps

D.you don’t need partner support while learning on apps

【3】According to the author, using an app _______________.

A.can make you stick with it

B.shouldn’t be considered at all

C.fails to make you more devoted

D.will offer you a strong motivation

28、   Melanie was born with spina bifida, a condition that rid her of the ability to walk. All her life, she had been using a wheelchair to get around. Trevor, on the other hand, has been blind since he was born.

The two ran into each other at an adaptive rock climbing class. They soon learned that they shared a common love for nature. Knowing all of this, the pair came up with a brilliant idea—with their strengths combined, they would climb the mountains of Colorado together!

Before the start of each journey, Melanie, secure in carrier, is hoisted by a friend or a fellow hiker onto Trevor’s back. Her role is to give verbal directions to her partner as they pass through the trail. “I describe everything I see and exactly how Trevor needs to move,” Melanie said of their hiking method. “It just seemed like common sense,” she told Good Morning America. “He’s the legs, I’m the eyes—boom! Together, we’re the dream team.”

To them, the best part about hiking as a pair is that they get to give each other the chance to accomplish something that others might believe is impossible.

“It made me so happy to help someone experience what I’ve been able to experience my whole life. Just getting on top of a mountain, you just feel that sense of accomplishment. The best part is being able to make her smile. That gives me purpose,” Trevor said.

As for Melanie, she says that the activity also gives her the feeling of freedom. “I’ve been in a wheelchair my whole life, and it’s an amazing feeling to leave it miles behind on the trail. I even couldn’t get in it if I wanted to, and that’s a great feeling,” she said.

【1】What do we know about Melanie and Trevor?

A.They are born disabled. B.They are good at sports.

C.They show no interest in outdoor activities. D.They’ve known each other since they were born.

【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hoisted” in paragraph 3?

A.Caught. B.Lifted. C.Removed. D.Pushed.

【3】What does Trevor think of hiking with Melanie?

A.He thinks it meaningful. B.He gets the feeling of freedom.

C.He thinks the experience amusing. D.He feels it his duty to help Melanie.

【4】What’s the topic of the text?

A.Two people worked together as a team. B.Hiking as a pair proved to be successful.

C.Two disabled teamed up for hiking adventures. D.A blind man helped a woman who couldn’t walk.

29、How to get along with others well

There are a lot of different people in the world, but despite our differences we all want to get along. Getting along with someone isn’t about being their best friend or sharing all their hobbies. 【1】

Be a good listener.

To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group. 【2】 First, examine the situation and the conversation, then say whatever you think fit.

【3】

It is not your job to change anyone else. It is not in your power to change anyone else. Let other people live how they want to live. You can only change how you interact with people. You  can always maintain a good attitude around them so that your relationship with them might change.

Keep your sense of humor.

A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile ease tension (紧张), whereas a frown (皱眉) can create tension. If someone teases (戏弄) you, try to laugh it off. If someone is frowning, smile at them. 【4】 If you are always cheerful and optimistic, people will cheer up when they see you coming.

Do things for others.

【5】 It could be as simple as bringing in doughnuts for people or offering to help someone who is struggling to carry something. This will show you care about other people and this will make people want to be around you.

A.Being kind is its own reward.

B.Don’t try to change people.

C.Listen to what others have to say.

D.Be mindful of your facial expressions.

E.It is about treating people with respect and care.

F.Don’t take part in a chat when you have just arrived.

G.Humans are social beings, and we enjoy being treated nicely.
