(福建省福州八县（市）2013期中联考)many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe-life probably much like that on our own planet. they reason in the following way.as far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. they have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. what we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. this eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. a smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. this eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. with a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. with a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.if we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? first, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. it may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.this process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. however, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.36. the existence of life depends on all of the following factors except .a. the right amount of atmosphere b. our own solar systemc. steady heat and light d. the right distance from the sun37. which of the following statements is incorrect?a. the planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.b. proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.c. double stars can provide steady light and heat.d. the distance between a planet and its sun should be right.38. what kind of planet might not support life?a. most of the planets of the stars.b. stars similar to our sun.c. planets similar to the earth.d. planets with proper conditions.39. at the end of the passage the author suggests that .a. it is impossible for life to exist on planets.b. earthlike life could only exist on a few planets.c. life could exist on only one planet in a million.d. life could exist on a great number of planets. b (2013安徽省宿州市泗县二中月考)the world is not coming to an end on december 21, 2012, the us space agency insisted monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the internet and a new hollywood movie.the latest big screen offering from sony picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the mayan calendar. it is claimed that the end of time will come as a planet x or nibiru heads toward or collides with the earth.some websites accuse nasa of hiding the truth on the planet s existence, but the us space agency denounced such stories as an “internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “there is no factual basis for these claims，” nasa said in a question and answer posting on its website. “if such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. obviously, it does not exist. credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “after all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added nasa.there is another planet, eris, floating in space. but the small planet similar to pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the earth, according to nasa.initial theories set the disaster for may 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient mayan calendar.nasa insisted the mayan calendar in fact does not end on december 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.and even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”， nasa said.“ and while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the earth, big hits are very rare，” nasa noted. the last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“we have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.40_played a key role in the spread of the rumors.a. a new book b. the internet and a new hollywood moviec. nasa d. an indian calendar41the film 2012 is_.a. about the end of the world b . based on the scientific predictionc. well accepted in the science field d. about a romantic love story42nasa thinks that eris_.a. might pose a threat to the earth b. doesnt pose any threat to the earthc. is too far away to be visible d. is similar to our planet, where life might exist43. which of the following is the best title?a. new hollywood movie 2012 b. december 21, 2012, not the end of the worldc. end of the ancient mayan calendar d. how rumors came into beingc (2013江苏省扬州师大附中期中)a special laboratory at the university of chicago is busy only at night. it is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.while the subjects(接受实验的人)usually studentssleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安) before a dream. once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. as soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. he sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleepperhaps to dream some more.researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. if he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.44. according to the passage, researchers at the university of chicago are studying _.a. contents of dreams b. the meaning of dreamsc. dreamers while they dream d. the progress of sleeping45. their finding has discovered that _.a. one person dreams only one dream a nightb. dreams are easily rememberedc. dreams are likely to be frighteningd. everyone dreams every night46. the machines being used in the experiment record _.a. the depth of sleepb. what a sleeper dreams during his sleepc. the subjects brain waves and eye movementsd. how many dreams a person has47. a person would be most likely to remember the dream that _.a. was of most interest to himb. occurred immediately after he went to sleepc. was the longest one to himd. occurred just before he woke upd (2013江西省南昌三中期中)an astronomer is making a case for launching pop singer justin bieber into suborbital（亚轨道的）space aboard a private rocket ship. the idea is not to rid the world of the canadian teenager he would come back down to earth eventually, after all but rather to help jump-start the emergingsuborbital spaceflight industry.it would generate a lot of public interest, which would helpcommercial spaceflightpick up some much-needed momentum, said seth shostak, senior astronomer at the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (seti) institute in mountain view, california. “if theres more interest, there are more customers. if there are more customers, theres more technical development. its a positive feedback loop, and obviously thats good.”such missions would return to earth without completing a full lap around the planet. instead, the flights would hit the edge of space about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above earth, experience a few minutes of weightlessness, then re-enter the atmosphere and land back at a spaceport.none of these firms are ready to fly customers yet, but some are getting close. for instance, virgin galactic hopes to begin powered test flights of itsspaceshiptwo vehiclelater this year, with commercial operations perhaps beginning in 2013 or 2014. it is spaceship two that reportedly grabbed the attention ofbeyonce and jay-z. virgin galactic has collected deposits from nearly 500 customers willing to pay $200,000 for a ride aboard spaceship two, and both virgin and xcor have inked deals to fly scientists and their experiments on research flights. so a suborbital market already exists but shostak is thinking about ways to make it grow.a celebrity launch isnt shostaks only idea. suborbital firms should also promote their activities aggressively via social media, shostak said, and they should make sure their spaceships are bristling（充满）with cameras both inside and out, to give the public dramatic views of every mission.some observers view commercial suborbital spaceflight as a potentially transformative industry, saying it could serve as a stepping stone to the exploration and exploitation of space on an unprecedented scale. while the industrys success is far from assured, shostak offered some reason for optimism: the american public remains keen on space.48. why may justin bieber be sent into suborbital space? a. to show his bravery and make him a role model for teenagers. b. to arouse the american publics interest. c. to help reform the spaceflight industry. d. to film an advertisement about space. 49. what can we infer from the text? a. spaceship two will be the first to fly. b. famous people will be the main passengers in the future. c. the space trip is still in preparation. d. every space trip will be made into a film. 50. what is the main purpose of the text? a. to predict a change in the space market. b. to introduce the status of the spaceflight industry. c. to discuss a recent launch. d. to remove public doubt about the spaceflight industry. 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中有两项为多余选项。to master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and writelenin and
