life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the big bang (宇宙大爆炸) theory.the big bang theory explains the early development of the universe. according to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed （挤压）together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. the results of that explosion are what we call the universe.hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. his book: a brief history of time was published in 1988. in the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. the book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the big bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).hawkings achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. when he was 21, hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. to communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computers mouse. he chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器). hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. however, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “i imagine they might exist in very big ships . having used up all the resources from their home planet,” hawking said in a british documentary（纪录片） named into the universe with stephen hawking. 41. what does the “two bangs” in the title refer to? a. the director of “the big bang theory” and the founder of it. b. the director and

magazines at home. and every night, i look at the posters with photos of david beckham and yao ming on my bedroom wall before i go to sleep. can we imagine life without paper or print?paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. people learned to write words on paper to make a book. but in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. as a result, they were expensive and rare. and because there werent many books, few people learned to read.then printing was invented in china. when printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. as a result, more people learned to read. after that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly. today information can be received online, downloaded from the internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on cd-roms or machines such as mp3 players. computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. so will books be replaced by computers one day? no, i dont think the yao ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!46. what does the writer do before he goes to sleep? a. he reads books. b. he reads newspapers c. he looks through magazines d. he looks at the posters on the wall.47. when was paper first created? a. about 2.000 years ago. b. in the 19th century. c. about 1.000 years ago. d. in the 11th century.48. why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing? a. people could not read. b. people could not write words on paper. c. people could not find silk, cotton or bamboo. d people could only produce books one at a time by hand49. what happened after books became cheaper? a. people didnt want to buy books. b. printing was invented in china. c. knowledge and ideas spread quickly. d. the internet was introduced to people soon50. what is the writers opinion about books and computers? a. people wont need books any more b. books wont be replaced by computers. c. people prefer to find information in books.d. computers have already replaced books. cask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. recycling in the home is very important of course. however, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. we are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. the total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. it now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the uk. in many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. the uk, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. if such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. the solution is not to produce such items in the first place. food waste is a serious problem, too. too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. however, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.but this is not just about supermarkets. it is about all of us. we have learned to associate packaging with quality. we have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. this is especially true of food. but it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. there are signs of hope. as more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. we need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.51. what does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to? a. using too much packaging. b. recycling too many wastes.c. making more products than necessary. d. having more material than is needed.52. the author uses figures in paragraph 2 to show _.a. the tendency of cutting household waste b. the increase of packaging recyclingc. the rapid growth of super markets d. the fact of packaging overuse53. according to the text, recycling _.a. helps control the greenhouse effect b. means burning packaging for energyc. is the solution to gas shortage d. leads to a waste of land54. what can be inferred from paragraph 4?a. unpackaged products are of bad quality. b. supermarkets care more about packaging.c. it is improper to judge quality by packaging. d. other products are better packaged than food.55. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. fighting wastefulness is difficult. b. needless material is mostly recycled.c. people like collecting recyclable waste. d. the author is proud of their consumer culture.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to make friends friendship is a very
