It draws on data that came from NASA pla net-h un ti ng telescope.A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service.Kepler had played a big role in creati ng a cen sus of pla nets orbit ing some 170,000 stars. Its data have bee n helpi ng astr ono mers predict how com mon pla nets are in our galaxy.

Such a pla net would have a diameter at least as large as Earth s, bi more than twice that big. The planet also would have to orbit in a star s hal zone. That ' s where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as aliquid.The new estimate of how many pla nets might fit these con diti ons comes fromstudying more than 42,000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them. Thescie ntists used those nu mbers to extrapolate ( 推算)to the rest of the stars that thetelescope could not see.The estimate is rough, the authors admit. If applied to the solar system, it would defi ne ashabitable a zone start ing as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have bee n in the distant past). Using tighter limits, theresearchers estimate that between 4and 8 out of every 100 Sun like stars could host an Earth-sized world. These are ones that would take200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit.Four out of every 100 sun like stars does n ' t sound like a big nu mber.

This extra heat raises the air temperature eve n more, caus ing even more snow to melt. This type of rapid exaggeration of impacts is called a “ fast feedback ”.4 Zeebe says it ' smportant to look at fast feedbacks. However, he adds, they ' relimited. From a climate changeperspective, “ This century is the mostimportant time for the next few generations, ” he told Science News. “ Buttheworld is not endin g in 2100 .” For this new study, Zeebe now focuses on“ slowfeedbacks. While fast feedback events unfold over decades or centuries, slowfeedbacks can take thousa nds of years.

It can be credited with many firsts in space.During Mir's lifetime, Russia spent about US$4.2 billion to build and maintain the stati on.The Soviet Union launched Mir, which was designed to last from three to five years, on February 20, 1986, and housed 104 astr on auts over 12 years and seve n mon ths, most of whom were not Russia n. In fact, it became the first intern ati onal space station by playing host to 62 people from 11 countries. From 1995 through 1998, seven astronauts from the United States took turns living on Mir for up to six mon ths each. They were among the 37 America ns who visited the stati on duri ng nine stopovers by space shuttles.The more than 400 million the United States provided Russian for the visits not only kept Mir operat ing, but also gave the America ns and their part ners in theintern ati onal stati on project valuable experie nee in Ion g-term flight andmult in ati onal operati ons.A debate continues over Mir ' s contributions to scienee. During its exis tence,Mir was the laboratory for 23,000 experiments and carried scientific equipment,estimated to be worth $80 million, from many nations. Experiments on Mir arecredited with a range of findings, from the first solid measurement of the ration of heavy helium atoms in space to how to grow wheat in space. But for those favouring human space exploration, Mir showed that people could live and work in space long eno ugh for a trip to Mars. The Ion gest sin gle stay in space is the 437. 7 days that Russian astronaut Valery Polyakov spent on Mir from 1994 to 1995. And Sergie Avdeyev accumulated 747.6 days in space in three trips to the space statio n.The Ion gest America n stay was that of Shannon Lucid, who spe nt 188 days aboard Mir in 1996.Despite the many firsts Mir accomplished, 1997 was a bad year out of 15 for Mir.In 1997, an oxygen generator caught fire. Later, the main computer system broke down, causing the station to drift several times and there were power failures.Most of these problems were repaired, with American help and suppliers, but Mir's reputation as a space station was ruined.Mir ' s setbacks are nothing, though, when we compare them with itsaccomplishme nts. Mire was a treme ndous success, which will be remembered as a milestone in space exploration and the space station that showed Iong-termhuman habitation in space was possible. But it's time to move on to the nextgeneration. The International Space Station being built will be better, but it owes a great debt to Mir.31. What can we lear n from the passage that the Mir Space Stati onA. was desig ned to last 5 years.B. was built by Russia ns.C. played nost to 7 astro nauts from differe nt coun tries.D. was visited only by America ns.32. One of the contributions Mir makes to science is that itA. helps astr on auts get close to Mars.B. en ables scie ntists to develop new scie ntific equipme nt.C. sets a record of the Ion gest sin gle huma n stay in space.D. shows that mult in ati onal operati ons in space are less expe nsive.33.

You may be atale nted musicia n, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is differe nt.Psychologists disagree about what is intelligenee and what are talents orpersonal abilities. Psychologists have two different views on intelligenee. Somebelieve there is on e gen eral in tellige nee. Others believe there are many differe nt in tellige nces.Some psychologists say there is one type of in tellige nee that can be measuredwith IQ tests. These psychologists support their view with research that con cludes that people who do well on one kind of test for men tal ability do well on other tests. They do well on tests using words, nu mbers or pictures. They do well on in dividual or group tests, and written or oral tests. Those who do poorly on one test, do the same on all tests.Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for gen eral in tellige nee.The brains of in tellige nt people use less en ergy duri ng problem solvi ng. The brain waves of people with high in tellige nee show a quicker reacti on. Some researcherscon elude that differe nces in in tellige nee result from differe nces in the speed andeffective ness of in formati on process ing by the brain.Howard Gardner, a psychologist at the Harvard School of Educati on, has fourchildren. He believes that all children are different and shouldn ' t be tested by intelligenee test. Although Gardner believes general intelligenee exists, he thinksthat the human mind has different intelligences. These intelligences allow us tosolve the kinds of problems we are prese nted with in life. Each of us has differe ntabilities with in these in tellige nces. Gardner believes that the purpose of schoolshould be to en courage developme nt of all of our in tellige nces.Gardner says that his theory is based on biology. For example, whe n one partof the brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work. People who cannot talkbecause of brain damage can still sing. So, there is not just one in tellige nee to lose.Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligenee: linguistic, mathematical,spatial, musical, in terpers on al, in trapers on al, body-k in esthetic （身体动觉的）,andn aturalistic.36. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to un dersta nd in tellige nee.B. The importa nee of in tellige nee.C. The developme nt of in tellige nee tests.D. How to become in tellige nt.37. Which of the followi ng stateme nts is true concerning gen eral in tellige nee?A. Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.B. People doing well on one type of in tellige nce test do well on other tests.C. In tellige nt people do not do well on group tests.D. Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.38. Gardner believes thatA. childre n have differe nt in tellige ncesB. all childre n are alike.C. childre n should take one in tellige nce test.D. there is no gen eral in tellige nce.39. Accord ing to Gardner, schools shouldA. promote developme nt of all in tellige nces.B. test stude nts ' IQs.C. train stude nts who do poorly on tests.D. focus on finding the most in tellige nt stude nts.40.

Soon you'll be able to cha nge stuff on your computerscreen - and then move it directly onto your smart phone or tablet（平板电脑）-withno thi ng more tha n a gla nee.A system called Eye Drop uses a head-m oun ted eye tracker that simulta neouslyrecords your field of view so it knows where you are looking on the screen. Gazingat an object - a photo, say - and the n press ing a key, selects that object. It can the nbe moved from the scree n to a tablet or smart phone just by gla ncing at the sec ond device, as long as the two are conn ected wirelessly."The beauty of using gaze to support this is that our eyes n aturally focus oncontent that we want to acquire, "says Jays on Turner, who developed the systemwith colleagues at Lan caster Uni versity, UK.Turner believes Eye Drop would be useful to tran sfer an in teractive map or con tact in formatio n from a public display to your smart phone or for shari ng photos.A butt on n eeds to be used to select the object you are look ing at otherwiseyou end up with the "Midastouch"（点石成金）effect, whereby everything you look atgets selected by your gaze, says Turner. "Imagine if your mouse clickedoneveryth ing it poin ted at," he says.Christian Holz, a researcher in huma n-computer in teractionat Yahoo Labs inSunny vale, Califor nia, says the system is a nice take on gett ing rou ndthisfun dame ntal problem of using gaze-track ing to in teract. "Eye Drop solves this in aslick （灵巧的）way by comb ining it with in put on the touch devices we carry with us most of the time any way and using touch in put as a clutch ing mecha ni sm," he says."This now allows users to seamlessly（无缝地）in teract across devices far and close in a very n atural mann er."While curre nt eye-trackers are rather bulky, main stream con sumer devices arenot too far away. Swedish firm Tobii is develop ing gaze-track ing tech no logy thatcan be in stalled in laptops and tablets and is expected to be available to buy nextyear. And the Google Glass headset is expected to include eye-tracking in future.Turner says he has also looked at how content can be cut and pasteddrag-a nd-dropped using a mix of gaze and taps on a touch scree n. The system was prese nted at the Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia in Swede n, last week.41. The eye-tracker tech no logy en ables us to ___A. cha nge our computer scree n.B. focus on any thi ng that in terests us.C. get a smart phone conn ected wirelessly.D. move an object from scree n with a gla nee.42.

So Many “Earths”The Milky Way contains billions of Earth-sized planets that could support life that's the finding of a new study. It draws on date that came from NASA's top planet-hunting telescope.A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service. Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000 stars. Its data have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our galaxy. The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth.The authors of a study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of sciences, conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars, with a mass and temperature similar to the Sun, may host a planet that could support life as we know it.Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth's, but no more than twice that big. The planet also would have to orbit in a star's habitable zone. That's where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liquid.The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from studying more than 42,000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them. The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate to the rest of the stars that the telescope could not see.The estimate is rough, the authors admit. If applied to the solar system, it would define as habitable a zone starting as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the distant past). Using tighter limits, the researchers estimate that between 4 and 8 out of every 100 sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world. These are ones that would take 200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit.Four out of every 100 sunlike stars doesn't sound like a big number. It would mean, however, that the Milky Way could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets with a change for life.16．The Kepler space telescope has been in service for 15 years.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned17．The main task of the Kepler space telescope is to find out planets with similar conditions to Earth's.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned18．The planet that could support life might be a little bit smaller than Earth.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned19．The Earth is planet orbiting in the Sun's habitable zone.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned20．The new finding is based on a thorough study of 170,000 stars in the Milky Way.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned21．The estimate of the number of planets that could support life is not very accurate.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned22．This is the first research finding about the planets with a chance for life.A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意和完成句子（第23～30题，每题1分，共8分）下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第23 ~ 26题要求从所给的6个选项中为指定段落每段选择1个小标题；（2）第27 ~ 30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。

The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used. Today, managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments. In place of a few financial controls, managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company. On any kinds of performance measures, the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results, find out problems, and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies. Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales, billing, and other activities. In large companies, electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.Now, there are about 24 million microcomputers in use in the United States ——one for every 10 citizens. It is estimated that by 1996, 61 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station. In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate, they need to understand how computers work. However, in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers. Rather, managers should understand how computerized information systems work; how they are developed; their limitations and costs; and the manner in which information systems may be used. Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.16 Today, conventional financial controls are still exercised in some minor areas such as billing and vocational training.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 It is unnecessary for a neighborhood baker to use a computer in his shopA RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 At present about 10% of American citizens possess a microcomputer.A RightB WrongC Not mentionedA RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 In some cases managers have to learn how to write programs so as to work out computerized information systems that suit their own companies best.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Computerized firms would rather employ business graduates than computer science graduates because it is easier to train the former into qualified employees.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第23～30题，每题1分，共8分)1. Children enjoy shouting at a high wall and hearing the sound come back to them. These sounds are called echoes (回声). Echoes have given us a number of valuable tools.2. Echo sounding devices were early used in making maps of the ocean floor. Sounds or ultrasonic (超声的) sounds make good tools for determining how deep the water is under ships. Sometimes echoes from ultrasonic distance finding devices were prevented from working by fish swimming past or by the presence of large objects. So ultrasonic devices have been replaced by other tools.3. Radar is now a familiar tool. Like many others it was an unexpected discovery. It was first observed by two researchers, who were studying sound communication. They were sending signals from a station on one side of a river in Washington,D IC. to a vehicle across the river. They discovered that their signals were stopped by passing ships. They recognized the importance of this discovery at once.4. All this was of course just a start, from which our present radar has developed. The word "radar," in fact, gets its name from the term "radio detection (检测) and ranging." "Ranging" is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Today, in our scientific age, it would be difficult to manage without radar.5. One of the many uses of radar is as a speed control device on highways. When a person in an automobile is driving faster than the speed limit, radar will show this clearly and the traffic police can take measures to stop him.6. A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. Many conditions such as flying at night and landing in dense fog require the pilot to use radar. Human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, but radar can show the pilot how fast nearby planes are moving.23 Paragraph 2__________. 24 Paragraph 3__________. 25 Paragraph 4__________. 26 ParagraphA Study of SoundB Highway PoliceC Working PrinciplesD Early Use of "Radar"E Useful ToolsF Discovery by Chance27 Echo-sounding devices were early used to__________.28 Ultrasonic device were used to__________.29 Police use radar on highways to__________.30 Radar helps pilots to__________.A detect nearby objectsB determine the depth of the ocean waterC decide how fast you driveD stop passing shipsE map the ocean floorF observe water flow第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)第一篇Ocean Noise PollutionSome scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred-twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one-hundred ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one-hundred-twenty decibels in. oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales (鲸鱼).A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed (出血) and become infected (感染).Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one-hundred-twenty decibels. They say such a limit is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in31 According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?A The sound of a car.B The sound of voices.C Man-made noise pollution.D The sound of steps.32 According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT__________.A sounds made by animals themselves.B ocean drilling.C underwater earthquakes.D the breaking of ice fields.,33 Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.B Different places may have different types of noises.C The decibel is not a suitable unit for measuring underwater noise.D Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.34 Which of the following is true of whales?A They won't be confused by noises.B They are deaf to noises.C Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.D Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.35 According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B They will protect animals from harmful noises.C They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.第二篇Lifetime Employment in Japanese CompaniesIn most large Japanese companies, there is a policy of lifetime employment. What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise, they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire. In effect, the employee gets job security for life, and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work. Even in times of business recession, he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it. By working hard for the company, he believes he is safeguarding his own future. It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work. They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career. This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time. They can afford to, take a longer perspective than their Western counterparts.This marriage between the employee and the company - the consequence of lifetime employment - may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work, for little overtime pay, to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.36 Lifetime employment in the Japanese company means that the employee__________.A leaves his company only when business is bad.B gets a job soon after he leaves school or university.C can work there throughout his career,D can have his serious mistakes in work corrected.37 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A Family and company interests are equally importantB The Japanese worker is very loyal to his company.C One's future is guaranteed through hard work.D Devotion to one's company is encouraged……38 Lifetime employment influences one's__________.A achievements at work.B performance at work.C career options.D attitude toward work.39 The Japanese worker is fond of his company's products because of__________.A his marriage with the daughter of the president.B the close link between him and his company.C his willingness to work overtime.D his active participation in quality control,40 The passage mainly discusses__________.B what benefits lifetime employment has brought to Japanese workers.C what lifetime employment is.D how lifetime employment is viewed.第三篇Dreams of FlightThe story of man's dream of flight, of his desire to reach the stars, is as old as mankind itself. According to Greek legend, Daedalus was the first man to fly. He and his son had been kept on an island. In order to escape, Daedalus shaped wings of wax (2) into which he stuck bird feathers. During their flight, his son flew too high and the sun melted the wax. He was drowned in the sea. The father was supposed to have continued his flight and reached Sicily, several hundred miles away.There is also an English legend of King Bladud who, during his rule in the ninth century B.C., used wings to fly. But his flight was short-lived and he fell to his death. The dream of flying continued, but in all the legends, the flier rose like a bird only to fall like a stone. It took hundreds of years that men flew up into the air and returned to earth safely.The first man to approach flying on a scientific basis was an Englishman who lived during the thirteenth century. He looked at the air about us as a sea, and he believed that a balloon could float on the air just as a boat did on water. Almost four hundred years later, an Italian priest applied his principle of air flight. He designed a boat, which would be held in the air by four hollow spheres (空心球). ach of the four balls was to be 20 feet in diameter (直径) and made of very thin copper. But his boat was never built since it was not possible to make spheres of such thin metal and such size in those days.After studying the flight of birds and the movement of the air, a great scientist of the fifteenth century concluded that birds flew because they flapped (摆动) their wings and that it was possible for man to do the same. So a kind of flapping-wing flying machine was invented. Many men tried and failed to fly with flying machines. It was not until 1890 that people discovered why this method would never succeed - man could not develop sufficient power with his arms and legs.41 How did Daedalus manage to escape to Sicily, according to the passage?A He killed the guards and got out of the island.B A god came to rescue him and took him away.C His son came to rescue him and took him away.D He made wings of wax and flew away from the island.42 According to the English legend, King Bladud lost his life because__________.43 The first scientific air flight was designed by__________.A a Greek.B an Englishman.C a Chinese.D an Italian.44 The priest failed to build the boat because__________.A he could not raise enough money.B his design was not scientific.C he could not find enough copper.D copper spheres could not be made as designed45 According to the last paragraph, man could not fly with flapping-wing flying machines because__________.A he could not develop adequate power with his arms and legs.B he knew nothing about the movement of the air.C they were made of heavy metal.D they were made of light feathers.第5部分：补全短文(第46～50题，每题2分，共10分)The Building of the PyramidsThe oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. __________(46) There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid.Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__________(47). These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever.__________(48). However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves.__________(49)Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools Which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build.__________(50) You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.A The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.B It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans ofC The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.D Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.E Many people were killed while building the pyramids.F They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.第6部分：完形填空(第51～65题，每题1分，共15分)TransportationFor many years in the desert, camels Used to be the only form of transportation (运输). Before the(51) of modern trains, camel trains used to carry all the goods for trading between Central Africa and Europe. Traders sometimes (52) to put together camel trains with 10,000 to 15,000 animals. Each animal often carried (53) 400 pounds and could travel twenty miles a day. This form of transportation was so important that camels were called the "ships of the (54)."Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very (55) time. One engine can pull as much weight as 135,000 (56). In addition, trains use special cars for their load. Refrigerator cars carry food; boxcars carry heavy goods; stock cars carry animals; and tank cars carry oil.Air travel has changed, too. The earliest planes were biplanes (双翼飞机), with(57) sets of wings. The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour. The pilots used to sit or lie on the wings in the open air. The plane(58) sometimes stopped in the middle of a trip. It used to be (59) to fly in bad weather. In snow or in rain, the wings frequently became icy. Then the plane might go down.Mechanical improvements during the First World War changed airplanes. Monoplanes (单翼飞机) took the(60) of biplanes. Pilots flew inside of covered cabins. Still, even these planes were small and expensive. Only(61) people were be able to travel in airplanes.Now modern jets make air travel possible for all people. No place in the world is more than 24 hours away by jet. Further improvements have (62) the cost of flying, and they have made air travel (63) safer than it used to be. A modern 707 can carry 170 people and can fly at 600 miles per hour. People(64) used to eat, sleep, or watch movies on airplanes.(65) these things are a normal part of air travel!51 A age B series C year D period52 A ought B added C used D led53 A away B as many as C out D as much as54 A desert B trains C transportation D goods56 A camels B ships C pounds D cars57 A one B three C two D four58 A wings B engines C pilots D speed59 A probable B possible C improbable D impossible60 A seat B pace C place D vacancy61 A technical B rich C those D professional62 A got rid of B raised C avoided D lowered63 A much B so C very D such64 A sometimes B occasionally C neither D never65 A But B So C Now D However1 A motive：动机;reason：理由。
