It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 17 a diary will probably write nearly the same information. I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 18 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 19 that my sister might read it! The biggest 20 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 21 about her in my diary, she would never know. 22 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might read her blog and get angry. There are also 23 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary,“Nobody cares about me,” 24 would know about it.

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（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 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．Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge, we can lessen its effects． Exploration 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．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 being 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． 26．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1? A．To express his doubts． B．To compare different ideas． C．To introduce points for discussion． D．To describe the conditions on Earth． 27．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2? 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． 28．The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______． A．survival chances B．potential resources C．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions 29．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets? A．Our genetic makeup． B．Resources on the earth． C．The adaptive ability of humans． D．By-products in space exploration． 30．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage? A．Space exploration has created many wonders． B．Space exploration provided the best value for money． C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology. D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth. B Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart. Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership. But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war---which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets GermanChancellor（总理） Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties. The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US. Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of "doubtful friendship", they are atleast able to make jokes about each other. Here's one: What's the best thing about Britain'srelationship with France? The English Channel (英吉利海峡). 31. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ________. A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherly D. a mixture of love and hate. 32. The war in Iraq does ________ to the relationship between France and Britain. A. good B. harm C. neither good nor harm D. both good and harm 33. The British are not so friendly to ________ and the French are not so friendly to ________. A. Germany; America B. America; Germany C. Germany; Germany D. America; America 34. ________are more interested in having holidays in ________. A. American people … Britain B. British people … Germany C. French people … Britain D. British people … France 35. What does the last sentence mean? ________ A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain. B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain. C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them. D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.
