years to reach your destination.so in the future，bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shuteye.they would have to sleep for years.european researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments.the study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets.“if there was an effective technology，it could make deepspace travel a reality，”said mark ayre of the european space agency last month.what seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely.researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleeplike state where they dont age.they have now moved on to the small，nonhibernating mammals like rats.a major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems，whereas body organs are far more complex.“its like moving from a simple apple computer to a supercomputer，”said marco biggiogera，a hibernation researcher at university of pavia in italy.just like bears and frogs，the hibernation of human beings would cause a persons metabolism(新陈代谢)to lower so they would need less energy.medical research，however，is just half of a space flight hibernation system.there is a challenge of designing a suitable proactive shelter.such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation，such as the proper temperature.it would also have to monitor life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.according to ayre，the sixperson human outer planets exploration mission(使命)to jupiters moon(木星的卫星)callisto could be an opportunity to use human hibernation.the mission aims to send six persons on a fiveyear flight to callisto，where they will spend 30 days in 2045.36what does the underlined word“hibernation”in paragraph 2 mean?a冷冻b冬眠c解冻 d代谢37according to the passage，the hibernation research_.ais just an ideabis always a science fictionchas already finished successfullydhas made some progress38in a hibernating state，a person needs_.aless sleepbmore foodcless energy dmore movement39which of the following is the best title for the passage?ahibernation study for space travelbwelcome to our space

them on and use the maps and gps that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.“id use it if i were hanging out with friends at 3 am. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，” said walter choo,40，of fort greene.the smartphonelike glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $ 250 and $ 600，the times said，possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality，a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about ones surroundings.so，for example，if you were walking down a street，indicators would pop_up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.“as far as a mainstream consumer product，this just isnt something anybody needs，” said sam biddle，who writes for g.“were accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，” he added，“and the average consumer isnt gonna be able to afford another device (装置) thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”9to5google publisher seth weintraub，who has been reporting on the smartphonelike glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.“its just like smartphones 10 years ago，”weintraub said.“a few people started getting emails on their phones，and people thought that was crazy.same kind of thing.we see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones，and its unnatural，”he said.“theres gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there.”40one of the possible functions of the smartphonelike glasses is to _.aprogram the opening hours of a barbsupply you with a picture of the futurecprovide information about your surroundingsdupdate the maps and gps in your smartphones41the underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means“_”adevelop rapidly bget round quicklycappear immediately dgo over automatically42according to sam biddle，the smartphonelike glasses are _.anecessary for teenagersbattractive to new yorkerscavailable to people worldwidedexpensive for average consumers43we can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphonelike glasses _.amay have a potential marketbare as common as smartphonescare popular among young adultsdwill be improved by a new technologycwho would have thought that millions of people would buy a product containing living insects？a businessman named milton levine did.he created the uncle milton ant farm more than half a century ago.today，grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.milton levine was not trained in the study of insects，also known as entomology.but he knew a lot about ants，and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.mr.levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after world war .he had returned to his birthplace in pittsburgh, pennsylvania，after serving in the united states military.he got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter，which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys.he decided to make toys.they understood that american society was about to change.the huge population increase known as the baby boom was beginning.there would be a huge demand for childrens toys.one day，he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.the sight made mr.levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncles farm.those thoughts gave him the idea for the uncle milton ant farm.milton levine developed a narrow，green plastic container.the top looked like a farm，showing a farmhouse，a barn，a bridge and a windmill(风车)under those images was a divider that separated the ants underground and aboveground areas.under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.the first uncle milton ant farms were an immediate success.they were sold in 1956.two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.through the years the toys continued to attract antwatchers.people buy uncle milton ant farms from stores and order from websites.during his life，mr.levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.the uncle milton ant farm tells far more than how to care for the ants.for example，people receiving an uncle milton ant farm learn that the little insects are strong.some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are.a writer remembers owning an uncle milton ant farm when he was about five years old.he says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.44which of the following words can best describe milton levine?astrong.bcreative.cloyal. dhumorous.45_may be studied in the science of entomology.aroses bbutterfliesctigers dsharks46milton levine got his idea from the following except_.aa business newsletterbthe baby boomcants paradingda farmhouse47what is the main idea of the last paragraph?ahow to care for the ants.bants are strong and diligent.cthe uncle milton ant farm is more than a toy.dthe uncle milton ant farm is very popular.ddonald had his own difficulties sleeping that night.not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or peoples constant voices，it was the happening repeatedly nightmare(噩梦)that caused him to stay awake，to fear sleep.donald was back in his small house.he did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window.yet he couldnt turn out the fearful whimpers(呜咽声)of his little dog，or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door，unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.donald didnt want his mother to be upset，but on some level，he was glad to hear she was awake.it meant he wasnt alone in the dark.though he was 12，until recently it was impossible for donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.suddenly there was a crash.their living room window is shattered(打碎)by 125mileanhour winds.troy rushed to donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.he did his best to calm his mother，and she to comfort him.soon water was seeping(渗透)into the singlefloor house.quickly it rose from ankle level to leg level.at donalds insistence，they pushed their way through the waternow chest hightoward the front door.when they fought their way into the living room，water rose to their chins.it was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat.in a total panic，desperate to hold on to something，troy caught a curtain rod(杆)shes breathing hard，shouting that she couldnt swim.donald called out，“mom！hold on！”just then donald also caught a floating wood board.48the passage is mainly about_.ahow a storm happened and caused damagebhow a mother and son experienced a stormchow a mother and son survived a stormdhow a son helped his mother in a storm49which of the following is mentioned in the story?athe rising sun.bthe broken door.cthe lucky dog.dthe noisy environment.50which word can best describe troys feelings at the beginning of the storm?aexcited.bcalm.canxious. ddesperate.51what will the author most probably talk about next?ahow the other people struggled in the storm.bwhy the storm happened.cwhat damage the storm caused.dhow donald and troy struggled to save themselves.eif there is one thing im sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.it is not that newspapers are a necessity.even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.many buy a newspaper only on saturday or sunday.but for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.the nature of what is news may change.what basically makes news is what affects our livesthe big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.i think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives，like genetic(基因)engineering.in the future，i think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from fleet street and printed out in our own home.in fact，im pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.you will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read sports and international news，etc.i think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)they actually feed_off each other.some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasnt happened.what is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound in the air.and as for the internet，its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.52what is the best title for the passage?athe best way to get newsbthe changes of mediacmake your own newspaperdthe future of newspaper53in the writers opinion，in the future，_.amore big political affairs，wars and disasters will make newsbnewspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longercnewspapers will cover more scientific researchdmore and more people will watch tv54from the passage，we can infer_.anewspapers will win the competition among the different mediabnewspapers will stay with us together with other mediactelevision will take the place of newspaperdthe writer believes some media will die out55the phrase“feed off”in the last paragraph means_.adepend onbcompete withcfight with dkill off.任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)you are what you eat so maybe its time you started eating sensibly.experts at the
