27、As we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans living on other planets often comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long been a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent(永久的) or at least semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however, it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments. On the Moon for example, a colony must be self-sustaining( 自 立 的 ) and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.
Mars, though, is different. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time there is also the possibility of modifying(改变) the surrounding environment instead of just co-existing with it. This is the process of terraforming - adjusting Mars’ atmosphere and environment to make it more Earth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?
One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved(保护) as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then large-scale human settlements on Mars should be completely off-limits. Small colonies might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.
What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We’ve already done too much damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. We should appreciate the differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit our own ambitions.
【1】What is the best title for the text?
A.Are Mars and Earth So Different?
B.Should we terraform Mars?
C.Can we adapt to Mars?
D.Is there life on Mars?
【2】What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ?
A.Ensure that it's not harmed.
B.Discuss with the Martians.
C.Change the unpopulated regions.
D.Reconsider the advantages and disadvantages.
【3】What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Complex.
B.Intelligent
C.Foreign.
D.Native.
【4】How does the author develop his ideas in the text?
A.By referring to others' research.
B.By showing the benefits of terraforming.
C.By arguing in support of one viewpoint.
D.By examining the conditions of different planets.
28、 Your next car might drive itself After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now on the way. Last month ,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon, France.Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier.
Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant(统治的)are highly populated urban areas. Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars. Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent. That's big — the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year. Pollution and carbon emissions will drop, because urban driverless cars will be electric.
On the other hand, driverless cars will cause problems. Over the next 20 years, the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks, taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced. Traditional carmakers are especially scared. The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple, Baidu and Google. Imagine Germany, where automobile making is the largest industry.
Dramatic changes are coming, and driverless cars could arrive by 2020. But governments have barely begun thinking about it. Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming. Now what about the driverless cars?
【1】The underlined phrase “be huddled with" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with .
A.turn up B.exist together
C.make up for D.take over
【2】Driverless cars can reduce pollution and carbon emissions because .
A.they will reduce the number of cars
B.they will be energy-saving by driving themselves
C.they will be powered by electricity
D.they will avoid many accidents from human errors
【3】What's the author's attitude toward driverless cars?
A.Objective. B.Disappointed.
C.Negative D.Doubtful.
【4】What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Driverless cars will make road accidents a past thing.
B.Old auto industry will benefit from driverless cars.
C.Driverless cars will not hit the road until 2020.
D.Governments are unprepared for the arrival of driverless cars.
29、 Marie Curie is well-known all over the world. However, perhaps you have not heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860- 1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907- 1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor(1930- present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913- 2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil--rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” said Parks.
