away for mankind to accomplish. however, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if its a good idea? mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. the atmosphere of venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of mars; mercury, jupiter and saturn have been studied by spacecraft. speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering. in the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. but now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. for instance, nasa funded a project on transforming mars. there are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. first, its an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (seti, the search for extraterrsstial intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (异己的) civilizations on other planets. though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.4. according to the context, whats the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?a. the act of discussing something with a group of people. b. the act of studying and researching.c. the act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.d. the acting of writing letters to a certain organization.5. why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?a. they thought no one else would show interest in the idea.b. they gradually came to find the idea crazy.c. they thought the idea would never come true.d. they had few resources for further study on this topic.6. which is not the reason to support the study of terraforming?a. even if we dont succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understand technologies such as climate and weather control.b. such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.c. such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.d. as the resources on earth are being drained, its very urgent to study how to migrate (迁移) to other planets.7. whats the main idea of the article?a. its highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program. b. even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have many reasons to support such studies. c. terraforming other planets is the best option for human beings future. d. more and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation.参考答案-4-7. cadb if you really want to win the weight-loss battle, learn to strike a balance-not just on your plate, but also in how you spend your free time. a new study finds that people who spend more time in front of computers have a higher obesity (肥胖) risk, even if they think they get enough exercise during the week. this study found only an association between weight and computer use. “is it that you become overweight because you use the internet a lot, or is it that overweight people simply use the internet more?” says corneel vandelanotte, phd, postdoctoral research fellow at central queensland university. its hard to say. but one likely explanation, she adds, is that “people who use the internet a lot also engage more in other sedentary (需要久坐的) behavior, and that is probably the main cause of their being more likely to be overweight.” formal exercise can only partly make up for all the time you spend sitting around. “if i go running three times a week for one hour, but watch tv the rest of my time, i will still be very sedentary, ” says vandelanotte. “i might be fit, which is definitely a good thing, but it might also be that im still not spending enough energy on a daily basis.” its all about striking a balance between sitting down and moving around. here are a few ways to keep computer time from undermining a healthy lifestyle: set a timer for your computer use, television watching or anything that keeps you on the sofa. set time limits that will allow you to enjoy the websites or tv shows you like, without leaving time for unnecessary channel surfing that keeps you off your feet. be an active viewer. when youre watching tv, spend at least some of the time doing something physical.8.according to the study, too much computer use _. a. decides the weight-loss battle b. may cause users overweight c. should be replaced by exercise d. may cause you to eat too much9. in vandelanottes opinion, the frequent users of the internet_. a. often sit at home b. lack formal exercise c. tend to stay inactive d. are overweight people10. in paragraph 3, vandelanotte takes herself as an example to _. a. prove good health is important b. tell about her habit of exercise c. show how she makes good use of her spare time d. stress the balance between movement and sitting11. what does the underlined word “undermining” in paragraph 4 probably mean? a. weakening b. entering c. forming d. involving 参考答案-8-11.bcda d(2012苏州五市区调研)are you media addicts who would go mad after two hours without tv, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobileor would you easily survive?recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called unplugged. it was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.unplugged is being run by dr roman gerodimos, a lecturer in communication and journalism at bournemouth university. the experiment is now over but he doesnt yet know the full findings. however, during the experiment, dr gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. he said: “theyre reporting withdrawal symptoms(症状), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.” during their 24hour painful experience, three of the experiments guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion(侵扰) from the media: a bbc reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. they were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. elliot day wrote: “today, my whole morning routine was_thrown_up_into_the_air. despite being aware of the social importance of the media, i was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.” from caroline scott, we read：“i didnt expect it, but being prevented from the media for 24 hours resulted in my daytoday activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual.i didnt break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but its not something i would like to do again！” and charlotte gay wrote: “i have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool, its my main access point of communication.”earlier in the year, a uk government study found that in the uk we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. and a recent study by nielson found that on average, us teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per monththats about six texts per waking hour. so, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?文章大意：两个小时不看电视，不上网不玩手机的话，你会有啥反应？看一下叫unplugged的全球实验吧！67whats the purpose of the first paragraph?a. to ask for information. b. to entertain the readers.c. to lead to the topic. d. to present an

volunteers were allowed to take their laptops答案：a细节理解题。由第三段第四句话“theyre reporting withdrawal symptoms(症状), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected”可知，实验的志愿者们都有不适的感觉。69the underlined expression “was thrown up into the air” most probably means_.a. went on normally b. was completely disturbedc. turned out perfect d. was badly designed答案：b猜测词义题。由划线部分后的“despite being aware of the social importance of the media, i was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers”可知，没有了报纸和收音机，我的生活很空虚，我的日程被打乱了。70which of the following can best serve as the title of the
