( d )londonscientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. all you have to do is to send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of earth, and its orbit (轨道)will be changed. our world will then be sent moving into a safer older part of the solar system.this idea for improving our climate comes from a group of us nasa (美国航空航天局) engineers and american astronomers. they say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planethopefully doubling its working life.the plan put forward by dr. laughlin, and his colleagues don korycansky and fred adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy (重力势能) to earth.“earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the sun,” laughlin said.engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to jupiter(木星) or saturn (土星). the comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. later its orbit would bring it back to earth, and the process would be repeated.in the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to worldwide warming, although the team was actually worried about a much greater danger. the sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere (生物圈)by cooking us.thats why the group decided to try to save earth.the plan has one or two worrying sides, however. for a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards earth. the smallest miscalculation (误算)in orbit could fire it straight at earthwith deadly results.there is also the question of the moon. as the present issue of scientific american magazine points out, if earth was pushed out of its present location, it is “most likely the moon would be stripped (剥离)away from earth,” it states. this would greatly change our planets climate.54. what makes the scientists plan to move earth?a. a few comets are moving to the direction of earth.b. earths working life is coming to an end soon.c. earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.d. the moon is moving farther and farther away from earth.55. if the plan is successful, earth will have a working life of _ years.a. 12 billionb. 6 billion c. 18 billion d. 24 billion56. what serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?a. the comet might hit earth and man might lose the moon.b. earth might be moved too far away and man might die because of the coldness.c. the comet might hit jupiter or saturn and never return to earth.d. earths working life might be greatly shortened.57. what does the underlined word “compromise” mean?a. provide b. benefit (收益) c. share d. endanger 第卷（主观题 共40分）5、 词汇运用：（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(a) 根据句意，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。1. our monitor often helps us with our homework, so he is often (表扬) by our teachers.2. can you make up a _(对话) with the new words?3. most foreign visitors are very interested in chinese _(传统的) culture.4.i wonder if he has _(说谎）about his age. he looks so young.(b) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的适当形式。5.the 20th world cup was (success) held in brazil in 2014.6.the boss bought a big house with an _(attract) garden.7. michael jacksons death was a great _(lose) to the music industry. 8.she always catch the _(late) fashion. she has a good taste.六、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答卷标有题号的横线上。(本大题共8分，每小题1分)1. why didnt you answer my phone call this morning? oh, sorry. i (watch）a tv series and didnt hear it.2._ (print) your report out, you only need to click on that icon. 3.it is said that the film directed by feng xiaogang _(send) out in two months.4. she _(mistake) for her twin sister in the past.5-will you buy iphone 6 ? -no, i wont. because the fashion _(change) all the time.6.look! it _(stop) raining. we can go outside to play.7.the fat man was seen _(run) along the street at 9 p.m. yesterday.8.i would like to have a room which _(face) south. how much does it cost?八、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答卷标有题号的横线上。（本大题9分，每小题1.5分）1.郎朗很小的时候对音乐表现出了浓厚的兴趣。 lang lang _ when he was young. 2.他因闯入私宅而被警方指控。 he _ the personal house by the police.3. 这部电影向我们展示了北京30年前的面貌。 this film shows us _30 years ago.4. 难道你不认为看电视广告是浪费时间吗？ dont you think _?5. 这部长达一个半小时的纪录片近距离观察了当地农民的生活。 this _ the life of the local people.6. 我对游泳真的有天赋。我非常擅长游泳。 _. i am very good at swimming . 8 任务型阅读(共10小题:每小题0.5分，满分5分)july 16th was a bad day for arthur johnson. in the morning, he set off from his home in santa barbara, california. it was the start of his summer holidays, and he decided to visit his friends at las vegas. then he hoped to go fishing at lake mead.johnsons troubles started while he was driving happily across the mojave desert. his car broke down and he tried to repair it, but he failed. he telephoned a workshop
