boundless blue skies. one day as i walked around the house with my sister kathys new parakeet （小鹦鹉）on my finger, i wanted to show perky 16 the sky looked like. maybe he could make a little bird 17 out

20 me. with fake optimism, she even tried to reassure （安慰） me that perky would find a new 21 . but i was far too clever to 22 that such a thing was possible. decades later, i watched my own 23 growing. we shared their activities, spending soccer saturdays in folding chairs with the 24 of the kids friends, the kissells. the two families went camping around arizona together. we became the 25

floor and 28 that the greatest pet of all time was his blue parakeet, sweetie pie.“the best thing 29 sweetie pie,” he said, “was the 30 we got him. one day, when i was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just 31 down and landed on my finger.”when i was finally able to 32 , we examined the amazing evidence. the dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all 33

surprised when an announcement about protecting songs copyright bursts onto the screen. the age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as web companies like baidu are accused(控告) of pirating copyright（盗版）. lawsuits (诉讼) have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. in september 2005, a beijing court ordered baidu to pay shanghai push, a recording company, compensation for their losses. baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. this caused a heated discussion on internet file sharing.“baidus defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. down-loaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.like many teens, huang ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from puning in guangdong province, doesnt think that getting music from websites is wrong. she always shares her favourite songs downloaded from baidu with her friends. when told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others work without paying.however, other teenagers have different ideas. wang yafei, a senior 2 girl from jinan, shandong province, pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “if i download a song and really like it, i will buy the cd,” she said. “so what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than following file-sharers.”36. which of the following best describes the passage?a. music on the internet is of better quality. c. its good to get free music on the internet.b. downloading material can

down-loadsb. they downloaded copyrighted music for people d. they offered free music on line38. how do some of the teenagers feel while down-loading free music after the lawsuit?a. a bit guilty. b. a little sad. c. extremely angry. d. awfully sorry.39. whats the advantage of file sharing for recording companies?a. getting more money from web companies.c. helping to improve the music.b. enabling people to download favorite songs. d. making pop singers more popular.40. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws b. teenagers havent got money to buy cds c. teenagers are probably still downloading free music d. teenagers prefer cds with copyright to pirated musicb a plan for exploring mars (火星) nasa is moving ahead with plans to put a long-armed lander on mars icy north pole to search for clues for water and possible signs of life.the $386 million phoenix mars is planned to touch down in the martian arctic in 2008. the stationary probe will use its robotic arm to dig into the icy land and pick up soil samples(标本，样品) to analyze. in 2002, the mars odyssey orbiter spotted evidence of ice-rich soil near the arctic surface. scientists hope the phoenix mission will find clues to the geological history of water on the red planet and determine whether microbes(微生物) existed in the ice.phoenix will be the first mission of the mars scout program, a renewed, low-cost effort to study the red planet. “the phoenix mission explores new territory in the northern plains of mars similar to the permafrost（永久冻土） regions on earth,” peter smith said. true to its name, phoenix rose from the ashes of previous missions. the lander for phoenix was built to fly as part of the 2001 mars surveyor program. but the program broke down after the well-known disappearance of the mars polar lander in 1999. the polar lander lost contact during a landing attempt near the planets south pole after its rocket engine shut off prematurely, causing the spacecraft to fall about 130 feet to almost certain destruction. the phoenix probe had been in storage at a lockheed martin clean room in denver before it was reused for its present mission. it will carry science instruments that were designed for the mars surveyor program including an improved panoramic camera and a trench-digging robotic arm. phoenix will lift off from the kennedy space center in august 2007 and land on the planet nine months later.41. the passage mainly tells readers that _.a. clues of water will be found in phoenix c. august 2007 will see phoenix lift offb. phoenix will be sent to find clues of water on mars d. the mars scout program will be carried out42. the underlined word “prematurely” (in paragraph 5) means _.a. on time b. behind the time c. out of work d. ahead of time43. according to the passage, we know phoenix will land on mars _.a. in may, 2008 b. in august, 2007 c. in august, 2008 din september, 200844. according to the passage, the name “phoenix” implies _.a. rebirth b. death c. energy d. hope45. after phoenix lands on mars, we can infer it will firstly _.a. find soil samples and send them to the earth c. take photos and send them to the earthb. look for the icy land to dig for the soil samples d. find the remains of the mars polar landerc man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. the sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. today, experts estimate that nearly two-thirds of the worlds population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.in the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. resources on land are beginning to grow less. the sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of mans needs.the riches of the sea yet to be developed by mans technology are impressive. oil and gas exploration have existed for many years. valuable amounts of minerals such as manganese, iron, nickel and copper exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. the culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by oriental peoples.besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. the new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea-level pressure. the development of strong, new materials has made this possible.the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. by the year 2020, experts believe that the problems of exploiting the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. what is the best title for the passage?a. needs of man. b. sea harvest. c. sources of energ d. sea exploring technology.47. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. man hasnt completely developed the riches of the seab. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedc. planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timed. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor48. why does the author mention a steamship?a. to illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.b. to show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.c. to argue that man should use steamships more than other means of transportation.d. to indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.49. according to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because _.a. man cannot travel farther into space c. its lot of fun diving into the sea b. resources on land are running short d. ancient people used to explore the sea50. what does the underlined sentence mean?a. we can still get a lot from the ocean.b. mans technology is too far behind to explore the ocean. c. the resources of the ocean have been used up.d. we need more advance technology to develop the ocean. d black holes? white galaxy（银河）? blue planets? space is not black, but light green, a team of astronomers announced on january 10. they studied the light sent out by 200,000 galaxies. what they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise（绿宝石）.the discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form. most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a “blue period” when young blue stars filled space now the universe is in a “green period”. they believe it will finally enter a “red period” when the older, redder stars appear.“the reason for the colour changing is that the rate of stars forming is changing”, said ivan baldry, an astronomer who worked to find the average colour of light in the universe.research presented by nasa scientists shows that the highest point of star-forming may have occurred earlier than previously believed. it was probably very soon after the “big bang（宇宙大爆炸） that many scientists believe gave birth to the universe.”there is no way any human could actually see the green colour.“the only way to see it is if you saw all the universe from the same distance away and it was not moving, baldry said. baldry and his co-worker, karl glaze-brook, have both joked about possible market-ing opportunities for the new colour.perhaps colour-of-the-universe t-shirts or coffee cups could become popular. but baldry allowed, “i dont know if you can patent a color, thats not our business. we havent actually been to a paint shop yet to see if they have a name for this.”51. the astronomers discovered the colour of
