and sister in a homeless shelter. melson said she considered the shelter a place to stay in, but not a home. “there is no furniture, and no refrigerator. its just a place to stay in until you get where you want to be,” she told the reporter. because of a lot of noise at the shelter, melson found it difficult to do her homework. that caused her to head to school every morning around 7:00 a.m. and stay for the next 13 hours, taking honors courses and competing in track. but melson rarely spoke up about her familys situation nor did she ever complain.“i know that people look up to me because i always try to be the best example,” she said. melson said she hopes to study medicine science at georgetown, although her dreams involve having her own room to study, as well as a place to shower safely. “never be afraid to go after your dreams, and regardless of the negative word that has been said to us, beat the obstacles and let the sun shine,” she told her fellow graduates. “each step we take is paved with possibilities. now go and unlock the door to your future.”28. melson did quite well in the high school graduation exam, which_.a. was very common to many people b. was big news to

making contact with aliens（外星人）.professor matthew bailes is based at swinburne university and is leading australias efforts to find signs of extra-terrestrial (外星的)life. but he warned that making contact with aliens capable of transmitting powerful signals to earth over tens of thousands of light years could lead humans into disaster, because theyre likely to be so much advanced. “the history of weak civilizations contacting more advanced civilizations is not a happy one!” he said.prof bailes was recently put in charge of the breakthrough prize foundations $100m to search for alien life, which is being financed by russian billionaire yuri milner and is backed by professor stephen hawking. the team working on the project will use the parkes radio telescope, one of the largest in the world, to scan the universe.prof bailes told the news media that accurate computers would have to be installed at parkes to sort through as many as a billion samples a second to try to detect patterns or likely signals. “there is no manual(指南) on how to find aliens. well have to imagine the sort of transmissions an alien race might send.”the computers, he warned, would take a year to build, and the project has five years to run. but he said that the signal, if and when it arrives, would likely be quite weak after travelling across such vast distances. he said that scientists hope that aliens will send a pattern human beings would be able to recognize, such as prime numbers. but he warned that we might all be “long dead and buried” before we could work out how to reply and the aliens could get an answer.32. what did the scientist warn humans? a. dont send any signal to the aliens.b. dont receive the powerful signals from aliens.c. dont reply to any signal the aliens sent.d. dont contact with aliens casually.33. what can we learn from paragraph 2?a. the history of weak civilizations should never be forgotten.b. the aliens civilizations may be more advanced than humans.c. human civilization needs to be developed urgently.d. the aliens are more intelligent than humans.34. what can we infer about the equipments at parkes?a. they have scanned the universe for years.b. they are the best equipments in the world.c. they are capable of detecting the exact target signals.d. they havent been installed then.35. bailes attitude of communicating with the aliens is_.a. encouraging b. indifferent c. negative d. hopeful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。选项中有两项为多于选项。the benefits of giving your dogs bonesgiving your dogs bones is highly recommended. 36 .you can give
