In the 37,many people had to trust the words of 38,for they had no way to gather39 for themselves. Today, we can fly in airplanes high over the 40 and see the curve(曲线) that proves its roundness. Astronauts flying miles high can send us 41 that support our beliefs. Most people now 42 the fact that the earth is certainly not flat.43 many of them dont realize that its not exactly44 either.A mathematician, Ann Eckels Bailie, used computers to gather information to 45 in planning space flights.During 46work of tracking the second US satellite, Vanguard ,she discovered some facts that didnt47 to make sense. It appeared that the perigee(or point nearest to the earth) satellite orbit(轨道) measured a different 48 from the northern hemisphere(半球) of our earth than from the 49 hemisphere. At first, she thought these strange 50were because of some mathematical mistakes.

Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously ill that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the babys illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.“I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning(铊中毒),”said the nurse.“A few days ago, I read a story A Pale Horse written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms(症状)are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the babys.”“Youre very good at observing(观察)things,”said a doctor,“and you may be right. Well carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not.”The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew the cause,the doctors were able to give her correct treatment.The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville.A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide(杀虫剂)used in Deleville.56.The baby was sent to a hospital in London because_.A.her parents were living in London thenB.her father was a famous doctor in LondonC.the hospitals in Deleville refused to accept herD.doctors in Deleville were not sure about the cause of her illness57.When the baby was first sent to the hospital in London,her illness was considered to be_.A.quite easy to treat B.the result of thallium poisoningC.a common one D.extraordinarily serious58.The one who first suggested the correct cause of the babys illness was_.A.a doctor in Deleville B.a famous doctor in LondonC.Agatha Christie D.an ordinary nurse59.From this passage it seems that the babys illness has something to do with _.A.a murder caseB.a dead writerC.a substance(物质)used to kill pestsD.the water in Deleville60.As far as we can tell from the story,Agatha Christie _.A.had never met this babyB.had spent a long time studying the babys illnessC.had once given the nurse some advice in a letter to herD.wrote the film Death on the Nile according to the babys illnessBHouston,Texas(June 8,2002)In 2004,the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)(美国航空航天局) will send two robots to separate places of Mars(火星) to seek(寻找) out past or present signs of water.It is all exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time,to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill.Last month,NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars,but after two weeks,it decided there was enough money for two.The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy Space Center.If all goes well,the two spacecrafts(宇宙飞船) will touch down on Mars,after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight,on January 2 and 20,2004.The robots,each weighing 150 kilograms,can cover 100 meters per day.They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content(矿物质) of the soil,and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills.Although they will be under control from Earth,the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.The actual landing points have not been determined yet,but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.61.According to the news report,scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _.A.find out whether there is water on MarsB.see if robots can find minerals thereC.test how fast robots can drive thereD.prove that robots can work on Mars62.How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?A.1 year. B.7.5 months.C.2 months.D.2 weeks.63.One of the important jobs for the robots on Mars is to _.A.study the soil B.walk everywhereC.test the new camera D.find a suitable landing point 64.We can infer from the last sentence that scientists _.A.have changed the landing points many timesB.hope to land the robots on the surface of waterC.are still working on the planD.know where they can find water65.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The two robots will be sent up at the same time and to the same place of Mars.B.The two robots will be sent up at different times and to different places of Mars.C.The two robots will be sent up at the same time but to different places of Mars.D.The two robots will be sent up at different times but to the same place of Mars.CWhat comes into your mind when you think about robots?Do you imagine armies of evil(邪恶的) metal monsters(怪物) planning to take over the world?Or,perhaps of mechanical(机械的) men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad genius?Or maybe you think of man-like robots who act,think,and look like human beings.In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction films than with real life.In the real world robots are machines that do jobs which otherwise have to be done by people.Robots either operate by themselves or under the control of a person.In a car factory,for example,robot machinery can put together and paint car bodies.On the sea bed remote controlled(遥控) underwater machines with mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers.Robot spacecraft can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars.Many robots have computer brains.Some robots are fitted with cameras,sensors,and microphones which enable them to see,to feel,and to hear.And some robots can even produce electronic speech.All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like a human being.Present day robots have to be programmed with a good deal of information before they can carry out even simple tasks.66.Robots in real life _.A.can behave like human beingsB.have the ability to control the worldC.can think by themselvesD.can help us with a lot of work67.According to this passage,which of the following is not true about robots in the real world?A.Some robots are as creative as artists.B.Some robots can help make cars.C.Some robots can see and hear.D.Some robots can explore the outer space.68.Robots can perform many tasks for man because _.A.they have intelligenceB.they are supplied with computer programsC.they can imitate human beingsD.they have the ability to learn new things69.The robots in science fiction films and those in real life differ mainly in _.A. mentality B. appearanceC. material D. size 70.The main purpose of this passage is to tell the readers the robots _.A.are bad to human beingsB.will one day control the whole worldC.are practical helpers of human beingsD.will replace human beings completely in the future DA Trip to MarsBy now,a rocket will have set off on its 35 million mile trip to Mars and scientists must be waiting anxiously for the results.The rocket will be travelling for six months before it reaches the planet.It contains a number of scientific instruments(仪器),including a television camera.Any pictures that are taken will have to travel for three minutes before they reach the earth.If the pictures are successful,they may solve a number or problems about Mars and provide information about the markings(条纹) on its surface which,nearly 100 years ago,the astronomer,Schiaparelli,thought to be canals.It will be a long time before any landing on Mars can be attempted.This will only be possible when scientists have learnt a lot more about the atmosphere that surrounds the planet.If a satellite can one day be put into orbit round Mars,scientists will be able to find out a great deal.An interesting suggestion for measuring the atmosphere around Mars has been put forward.A rubber ball containing a radio transmitter(无线电发报机) could be dropped from a satellite so that it would fall towards the surface of the planet.The radio would signal the rate at which the ball was slowed down and scientists would be able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is.It may even be possible to drop a capsule(容器) containing scientific instruments on to the planets surface.Only when a great deal more information has been obtained,will it be possible to plan a manned(载人的) trip to Mars.71.How soon can scientists expect to receive any information concerning the nature of the surface of Mars?A.Within a year of the rockets departure from earth.B.Not until a landing has been attempted.C.As soon as a radio transmitter has been dropped from a satellite.D.When certain scientific instruments have been landed on the planet.72.What might prevent scientists from trying to land men on Mars?A.The discovery that Schiaperellis “canals” are not in fact canals.B.The failure of the plan to drop a ball containing a radio transmitter.C.Having obtained sufficient information from a satellite in orbit.D.Proof that its atmosphere lacks certain elements vital to mans survival.73.Having successfully dropped the rubber ball,scientists would then calculate how dens
