Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your cell phone loses its signal, the television has no 51 , and you can’t get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of 52 a solar storm might cause. It may not sound as 53 as other natural disasters, such as earthquakes. But today, a solar storm often puts our society in danger.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares (太阳耀斑): large explosions near the sun that can 54 lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems that operate our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to 55 for weeks or months.

In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most 56 one happened last month. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power. It could be half the country, maybe more,”https://www.360docs.net/doc/7913017649.html,, a US website about space weather, 57 .

Experts say that 58 can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) (共50分)

A. Choose the best answer

Some years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane to visit another friend after the meeting ended.

The first day we were excited and laughing at each other’s jokes. By the third day of driving in the endless desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when

suddenly Chris saw some kangaroos. We were both excited and decided to get a closer look. Chris accelerated to catch up with the kangaroos. We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometres per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG! Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a large kangaroo lying completely still (不动的) on the ground. Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I was still in shock, but I took out my camera. While I was focusing the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.

I started laughing but Chris looked very serious. He said his purse and passport were in the jacket. I started laughing even harder. I stopped laughing, however, when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!

Grandpa had to go to the doctor. After breakfast, he hurried off to catch the bus. Our

grandson wanted to come along too 80 Grandpa said “No”. Grandpa arrived at the doctor’s on time and saw the doctor. He had a little pain at the top of his leg, so he said. Grandpa got onto the bed, and lay down while the doctor examined him. Luckily it was 81 serious.

Grandpa came home at midday. By then our grandson was asking a lot of questions about doctors. He kept on asking till Grandpa told him. “What was the 82 with your leg?”he asked.

“It was a bit painful, but the doctor said it was OK.”

“Will you show me?”

Grandpa sat down in a chair. I had an idea what he was going to do but I said nothing. He put his hand around the top of his leg and moved something under his trousers. Then he slowly 83 the leg down. It came down below the bottom of the trouser leg. Grandpa kept on pulling. Finally the leg was in his hand. (It was an artificial〈人造的〉leg.) Our grandson’s eyes were wide open now. He seemed to be very 84 , but not worried. “Doesn’t that hurt, Grandpa?”asked our grandson politely. “Not at all,”he said. “The old leg hurt a lot, but this 85 one doesn’t hurt at all.”

Ever since our grandson has been very kind to Grandpa. “How is your leg this morning?” he asks at breakfast.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at o 86 swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practise, practise and practise.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries f 87 listen to others. Then they try to imitate（模仿）and

speak. We can listen to English programmes on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t m 88 . Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be b 89 . If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as (只要) he knows English. W 90 you know him or not is not important. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practise your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the f 91 mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will i 92 your language sense. This is the most important. Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

D. Answer the questions

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glasses. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on (轻视) your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to fight difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love

is to give it wings.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget to only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It’s a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back.

Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (神秘), and today is a gift: that’s why we call it “the present”.

If you ever cross a road in a foreign country, be careful! Traffic rules are often different there!
