walk, give me your hand, the same way i did when you gave your first step. and when someday i say to you that i do not want to live any more - that i want to rest forever, do not get angry. someday

satellites into space to the setting up of space stations，human beings have been putting great effort into space research. and so far，we have achieved many successes. but there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not cease trying to progress.the international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. it is not only helpful but also essential. it provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. it is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. it could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and mars. in a word，if we want to explore space more，the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.as the space station costs a lot of money，it is hard for one country alone to establish one. the usa seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so，but not very successful. so it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. though it is still extremely expensive，it is much cheaper than doing it alone. it is really a job that needs everyones effort and will benefit everyone.but even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. as for the usa，it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. although it is the richest country in the world，it has much debt every year. it has to make arrangements about its finance，and try to find a balance in all these issues.28. from paragraph 2 we learn that _.a. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowb. many experiments have been done in the international space stationc. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space mored. people have traveled to mars from the international space station29. in the process of building a space station ,which statement below is correct ?a. america is not willing to cooperate with other countries to build a space station . b. america united other countries to build a space station together.c. other countries scolded america for not working on building a space station together. d. other countries are forbidden to build a space station alone because only america has such an ability.30what is the authors attitude towards building and developing the international space station?adoubtful. bcritical. csupportive. dindifferent 31. which of the following aspects about building the international space station is not mentioned in the passage?adifficulties. bcooperation. csignificance. dspecific arrangementdthe largest land animal remaining on the earth, the african elephant is of much importance to african ecosystem. unlike other animals, the african elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. as a giant plant-eater, it significantly shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat. it is the elephants great desire for food that makes it both a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. in its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, as well as pulls branches off big trees. this results in numerous open spaces in not only deep tropical forests but also the woodlands that cover part of the african savannas. in these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth, which attract a variety of other plant-eaters. take the rain forests for example. in their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. by pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants create open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. in such situations, the forests become suitable for large-hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small-sized plant-eaters to obtain their food as well. scientists are worried now that the african elephant has become an endangered species. if the elephant dies out, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 32. what is the passage mainly about?a. disappearance of african elephants.b. forests and savannas as habitats for african elephants.c. the effect of african elephants search for food.d. the eating habit of african elephants.33. the african elephant influences the ecosystem in the following ways except that . a. it creates open areas in deep tropical forests as well as woodlandsb. it pulls off the branches and leaves, shutting out the sunshine c. its eating habit can be made use of by large-hoofed and small-sized animals d. it encourages some kinds of plants growing in an indirect way34. what does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean? a. deciding the conditions. b. worsening the state. c. improving the quality. d. fixing the time. 35. the passage is developed mainly by .a. presenting the changes in time order b. making comparisons and giving examplesc. classifying similarities and differences d. showing the effect and then explaining the reasons 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。 signs proving that youre a pretty quick
