it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. to get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. but we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.we may think of all of these as our needs. yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these that are supplied for us. we all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. so we must add our wants to our basic needs. our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.but as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. it is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.41.what we need in life is

needs can be exchanged.d. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury.bsetting recordsits fifa world cup time again, and the usual football craze that explodes around this time every four years is

pine street foundation showed that a dogs nose might have the ability to detect cancer. a dogs nose, which was the “medical device” used as part of the research, is believed to be among the worlds most powerful olfactory(嗅觉的) sensors. the study was conducted with 169 subjects 55 of which had been diagnosed as having lung cancer, 31 have breast cancer and 83 control subjectspeople without cancer. during the study, five professionally trained scent dogs were used to distinguish between the breath samples of cancer patients and those who were healthy. with an average of 90% accuracy, the research was deemed a success.the pine street foundation conducted its research on the belief that cancer cells give off a different type of metabolic(新陈代谢) waste product than normal cells. according to the study, the difference is so great that it can be detected by a dogs sense of smell, including both early and late stages of the disease.in the conclusion of the study the pine street foundation said that even ordinary dogs might be trained to identify the presence of cancer with only a breath sample. the organization also said that dogs can recognize the disease with astonishing amount accuracy and, finally, that the dogs detection was not hindered(妨碍) by the presence of age, smoking or stage of cancer.the pine street foundation plans to continue their research and is currently seeking funding to launch new studies.49. if we want to add several different detecting examples to the passage, we should write them _.abetween paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 bbetween paragraph 2 and

cancer by breathing and feelingdin the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical atlantic and caribbean seas. of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. there they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.the great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. as they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. when conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. in the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. as the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion.the average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. the energy in the heat released by a hurricanes rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the united states for more than six months.water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. a typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea, the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. the water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.53. when is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?a. when it begins in the atlantic and caribbean seas. b. when it hits he coastline.c. when it is more than 75 mils wide. d. when its winds reach 75 miles per hour.54. what is the worst thing about hurricane?a. the destructive effects of water. b. the heat they release.c. that they last about nine days on the average. d. their strong winds.55. the counter-clockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .the low-pressure area in the center of the storm b. the force of waves of water.c. the trade winds d. the increasing heat56. apparently the word “downpour” in the fourth paragraph means .a. heavy rainfall b. dangerous wavesc. the progress of water to the hurricane center d. the increasing heatepeaceful use of space resources drives chinas space programchinas successful launch of its second manned spacecraft shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. it has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.it is widely believed home abroad that the latest progress made by china will surely improve national cohesiveness(内聚性) and make the countrys 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.however, some people in and outside china describe chinas manned space program as a prestige project which yields little economic benefit.they argue that billions of us dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. however, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the earth.lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.china has benefited from the dividend of its investment in space sector, space technology has become an indispensable part of peoples daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources prospecting.striving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, china has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.information obtained from shenzhou-3 and shenzhou-4 in earth observation has been used for maritime(海上的) pollution control and desertification(沙漠化) control projects, which is useful for china and other parts of the world.china has listed space technology and information technology among the countrys seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in 1986.57. which point of view may the author not agree to?a. the successful launch is significant to the development of our country.b. the successful launch proves that our space technology is advanced in the world.c.
