The sky above Manhattan，New York is filled with a curtain of colorful light. New Yorkers are fascinated by the beautiful aurora (极光). However, their fascination is short-lived. Within a few seconds, electric bulbs dim and flicker (闪烁), then become unusually bright for a few seconds. Then all the lights go out. Within 90 seconds, the entire eastern half of the US is without power. Besides the US, Europe, Japan and China are also hit by the same terrible event. It is a violent solar flare (太阳耀斑) ,150 million kilometers away on the surface of the sun. Science fiction? No. A report funded by NASA and issued by the US National Academy of Sciences in January this year says it could happen. A massive solar flare is most likely on a spring or autumn night in 2012, according to the report. Solar flares are huge explosions on the surface of the sun. In a matter of just a few minutes they heat material to many millions of degrees and release as much energy as a billion megatons (百万吨) of TNT explosives. Solar flares release a stream of charged high-energy particles (粒子). They are called “solar winds”. If one solar “wind” should hit the Earths magnetic shield (磁场), the result could be terrible for humans. But theres no need to run for cover from solar winds. They do not harm life on Earth, they only affect the way we live, especially since we depend so much on modern technology. They can pump extra electricity into power lines and pipelines, causing blackouts and fuel leaks. Solar winds are also known to affect mobile phone operations and may disrupt wireless Internet services. Moreover, solar winds can prevent normal satellite operations, and disrupt radio communications and navigation systems such as the Global Positioning System. Auroras are powered by solar wind. This wind blows past the Earth at about 400-700 km per second and creates storms in the Earths magnetic environment. In the polar regions these explode into southern or northern polar lights. The most serious solar storm that hit Earth in history happened in 1859. It caused the failure of telegraph systems in Europe and North America. So, for humans, the sun is a double-edged sword. Without the sun, there would be no life on Earth. Without the sun, Earth would be a frozen dark ball floating in space. However, on the other hand, the sun can disorder our lives from time to time.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It introduces to readers the advantages and disadvantages of the sun.B. It describes a science fiction set in Manhattan on 22 September 2012.C. It shows readers the way in which solar winds form inside the sun.D. It explains what solar flares are and their effects on human life.57. The first two paragraphs are written _.A. to show a beautiful scene in a true storyB. to describe the beautiful scenery of ManhattanC. to describe the power problem around the worldD. to introduce the topic of this passage58. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Solar flares will do great harm to those who are using the Internet.B. Solar flares cannot reach as far as the polar regions.C. Solar flares are huge explosions that happen inside the sun.D. But for our reliance on technology, solar flares wouldnt affect us so much.59. Solar winds will likely affect us in the following ways EXCEPT that _.A. normal satellite operations will be stoppedB. the lights in the areas affected will go out at the same timeC. people on the streets will be struck to deathD. some navigation systems will be out of order BChildren are being indirectly affected by the impact of the recession (经济衰退) on their parents, the Childrens society warns. The chief executive of the Childrens Society, Bob Reitemeier, said that children were “on the front of recession”. He said the recession made it even more important to try to end child poverty. The answers suggest children from poorer backgrounds are more likely to be affected, but over a third of children across all backgrounds said they were aware that the recession was worrying their parents. Fifteen-year-old Patricia said her family felt the impact of the recession on their everyday budget. “We have to save up our money and do not spend it so much on unnecessary things,” she said. Those questioned appeared to have great awareness of the economic crisis, which, unsurprisingly, was higher among the older children. But around 15% said they hadnt been affected by it. Recent figures showed that in 2007 there were 850,000 young people with no particular occupation. An official from the government said it was so “disappointing” that some young people were concerned about the economy. Parents are clearly best placed to talk to their children about their worries, but schools also play an important role in teaching young people the skills they need to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.60.Which of the following is true? A. It is more important to try to end child poverty in the recession. B. Children from poorer areas are less likely to be affected. C. All the children questioned are worried about the economy. D. That some young people are worrying about the economy is “good news”.61.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5? A. The poorer background. B. The impact of the recession. C. Everyday budget. D. The government.62. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Many children are concerned about the recession. B. Children are being directly affected by the recession. C. The recession influenced children indirectly. D. Schools play an important role in teaching young people how to become healthy, happy and confident individuals. 63. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage ?A. The writer is very disappointed that so many people are out of job.B. families and teachers should teach children the value of budgetingC. Children are not supposed to know too much about the impact of the recessionD. Children with good personalities deal with the impact of recession better.CSome people look at a hole and see empty space. Others see opportunity. Thats what Sheri Schmelzer spotted a few years ago when everyoneincluding her three childrenstarted wearing Crocs, the colorful shoes dotted with holes.“My kids and I were clowning around, and my eldest daughter, Lexie, got the sewing kit out. I brought one of the Crocs, pulled some buttons, rhinestones, and fabric out of the kit, and stuck them in the holes. Lexie said, Mom, I love that!”Sheri and Lexie, then seven, spent the rest of the day filling holes in the familys 12 pairs of Crocs. Every look-alike shoe was suddenly unique. When her husband, Rich, experienced in setting up businesses, came home later that day, says Sheri, “I could see the light bulb go on over his head,” Crocs had sold millions of pairs of shoes; the couple figured they could create a business simply by riding the wave. Rich refused to let a decorated Croc leave their Boulder, Colorado, house until hed filed a patent.But first they needed a name. “Rich and I had seen a movie where Meg Ryan says to Tom Hanks, Im such a flibbertigibbet! That became my nickname, so I called the business Jibbitz.” While Sheri designed, Rich strategized. They decided to sell the charms through a website, JSix months later, in February 2006, Sheri was doing so well that Rich left his business to work with her full-time. She was making hundreds of Jibbitz to order, by hand, by herself, in their basement. And filling those holes wasnt as easy as it looked. The bigger the shoe, the bigger the holes; it took six models before Sheri figured out how to make her charms one-size-fits-all. Later Rich found a way to get plastic Jibbitz manufactured in China.Someone at Crocs was sure going to notice the charmsafter all, the company was headquartered (总部设在) just ten miles down the road. Duke Hanson, one of Crocs founders, spotted Lexie and her Jibbitz at the local pool, handed her his business card, and said, “Have your mom call me.”Sheri and Rich met with Crocs executives, but no one suggested buying the company. Sheri was actually relieved because she wanted to see if she, not Crocs, could make it big. And she did. In December 2006, Crocs bought Jibbitz for $20 million, with the Schmelzers staying on board.64. The passage is mainly about _.A. how the Schmelzers found opportunities out of nothing.B. how the Schmelzers found opportunities and developed their businessC. how creativity matters to a successful businessD. how the business of Crocs became successful.65. When Sheri said, “I could see the light bulb go on over his head”, she meant that _.A. Rich was really excited B. Rich liked their shoe charmsC. saw this as a business opportunityD. Rich wasnt satisfied with the decorations66. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that _.A. the Schmelzers kept improving to make their business successfulB. Sheri does not trust others when it comes to designing JibbitzC. making the products unique is key to business successD. Rich made a lot of sacrifices for their family business67. Which of the following is arranged in the right order according to the text?a. the Schmelzers applied for a patentb. Crocs shoes sold wellc. the Schmelzers set up their websited. by making their products in China, the Schmelzers spread their business.A. acdbB.bacdC. bcadD. adcbDBoard, But Not BoringRoll the Dice and Take a Chance on Something NewAre you vacationed-out, tired of video-gaming, waterlogged by too many trips to the pool and ready to scream if you see one more “SpongeBob” rerun?In other words, are you bored with summer?Weve got a suggestion: Kill that boredom with some great board boredom games.
