They ased his opinion about various writers. He waved his hand and, ecept for himself, dismissed everyone in the twentieth century Hemingway wrote “baby tal,”Faulner “sludge.” Joyce’s Ulysses was “a tiring wal through the waste of Dublin.”R’ lene introduced me. This is Fran McCourt from Ireland. He teaches high school English.I put out my hand but he let it hang. Oh, still a high school boy, are you?I didn’t now what to say. He laughed and said to R’lene, “Does our friend teach English to deaf mutes?” In the Dahlberg world teaching was for women only.I baced away to my chair, confused.He wasn’t finished. He turned to me. Does our high school boy read? And what does he read?I searched my head for something I’d read recently, something distinguished that might please him.I’m reading the autobiography of Sean O’ Casey.Quote me a line.My heart jumped and pounded. My mouth was dry. I could thin of nothing from O’Casey that match the grand passages Dahlberg quoted from the ancient master. I mumbled(含糊地说)，“Well, I admire O’ Casey for the natural way he writes about his life growing up in Dublin.”He nodded toward me. If you admire so-called natural writing you can always loo at the walls of a public toilet.The admirers laughed. My face was hot and I said without thining, “O’ Casey fought his way out of the slum(贫民窟) of Dublin. He was half blind. He’s a … a… champion of the worer… He’s as good as you anytime. The whole world nows Sean O’ Casey. Who ever heard of you?”He shoo his head for the benefit of his admirers and they shoo their heads in agreement. He called R’lene, “Tell your high school boy to leave my presence. He’s n ot welcome here though his wife is welcome to stay.”28. What was Edward’s attitude towards the mentioned writers?A. He looed down on them.B. He considered them out of date.C. He showed deep admiration for them.D. He owed his literary achievement to them.29. What was Edward’s reaction to being introduced to the author?A. He ased the author to leave his presence.B. He greeted the author politely.C. He gave the author a cold welcome.D. He questioned the author’s sincerity.30. How did the author feel at the suggestion of quoting a line?A. Confused.B. UneasyC.ImpatientD.Dissatisfied.31. How did the author face others’ laughter?A. He fell completely silent.B. He laughed bac at them.C. He escaped from the room.D. He voiced his inner anger.DWhy should manind eplore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent eploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent onspace rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often ased.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic maeup(基因构成) 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 eploring space is this genetic tendency to epand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civiliation has eplored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without nowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With nowledge, we can lessen its effects.Eploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) 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. nowledge or techniques have been acquired through eploration. 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 earthquae prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stic 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 eploration 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 eplanations of how the universe was formed or how it wors, it also holds dangers. The danger eists, but nowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not eist.While Earth is the only planet nown 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.32．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A．To epress his doubts. B．To compare different ideas.C．To introduce points for discussion. D．To describe the conditions on Earth. 33．What is the reason for eploring space based on Paragraph 2?A．Humans are naturally born to do so.B．Humans have the tendency to fight.C．Humans may find new sources of food.D．Humans don't lie to stay in the same place.34．The underlined word “spin­offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．survival chances B．potential resourcesC．unepected benefits D．physical possessions35．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A．Space eploration has created many wonders.B．Space eploration provides the best value for money.C．Space eploration can benefit science and technology.D．Space eploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
