an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. all you have to do is send a few comets(彗星) in the direction of earth, and its orbit will be changed. our world will then be sent into a safer, colder part of the solar system.this idea for improving our climate comes from a group of us national aeronautics and space administration (nasa) engineers and american astronomers. they say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life.the plan put forward by dr.laughlin，and his colleagues don korycansky and fred adams, needs carefully directing a comet of asteroid(小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to earth.“earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the sun, ”laughlin said.engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to jupiter or saturn. the comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. later its orbit would bring it back to earth，and the process would be repeated.in the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming，although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. the sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so“seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)by cooking us.thats why the group decided to try to save earth.the plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. for a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards earth. the smallest miscalculation(误算) in orbit could fire it straight at earthwith deadly results.there is also the question of the moon. as the scientific american magazine points out, if earth was pushed out of its current position it is“most likely that the moon would be stripped away from earth，” it states. this would change our planets climate.26if the plan is successful, earth will have a working life of_years.a12 billion b6 billionc18 billion d24 billion27what makes the scientists plan to save earth?aa few comets are moving to the direction of earth.bearths working life is coming to an end soon.cearth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.dthe moon is moving farther and farther away from earth.28what does the underlined word “compromise” in paragraph 6 mean?aprovide bbenefitcshare dendanger29which of the following best shows how the plan would work?30what serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?aearth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.bthe comet might hit earth and man might lose the moon.cthe comet might hit jupiter or saturn and never return to earthdearths working life might be greatly shortened.bof all the planets, none has captured the worlds imagination like mars. its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.活页裁切线in cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist carl sagan talked about some traditional ideas about mars. some of these ideas are from the english science fiction writer h. g. wells the war of the worlds. others are from the mistaken science of percival lowell, the american astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on mars. wells described martians as threatening. lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. carl sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.today, mars continues to excite humansnot as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the martian surface.the smithsonians mars day offered a chance for people of all ages to touch mars, or at least a piece of it. allison and alycia from silver spring, maryland, brought their children, grace, sam, ryan and emma. they heard about mars and its geology from experts. they could see a test version of the viking landers that reached mars in july of 1976. they also saw meteorites(陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. eightyearold sam learned that the ancient description of mars as red is not exactly right. he said, “its actually orangish more than red and its also kind of brown.” emma is six. she learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of mars. she said, “the closest thing to marsthe stuffis from volcanoes mostly.”mars day offered allison and alycias children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.31what is paragraph 2 mainly about?awhy martians were considered threatening.bwhy mars has captured the worlds imagination.cwhat people generally thought of mars in the past.dhow h. g. wells got the idea for his science fiction.32it is implied in paragraph 3 that_.atodays space scientists still know nothing aboutmarsbtodays space scientists are very interested inmarscscience fiction films are no longer set in marsdspace scientists havent made any progress, in knowing mars33sam would probably agree that_.amars is not really redbno meteorites have come from marscmars cannot be described as a little browndthe ancient description of mars color is true34what is the writers attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on mars?ahe thinks it may happen in this year.bhe thinks it will always remain a dream.che thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.dhe thinks it may happen in the following decades.35the smithsonians mars day might not offer people a chance to_.alearn about the surface of marsbsee a test version of some viking landerscsee meteorites known to have come from marsdsit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronautc(2013广东高考)some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.however, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. and, in addition to that,_in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. to become great at certain things, itll require even more time，time that most people wont put in.this is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. if you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.when you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. if youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.36paragraph 1 mainly talks about_.athe reasons for successbthe meaning of successcthe standards of successdthe importance of success37in paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to_.abeing good at somethingbsetting a practical goalcputting in more timedsucceeding in life38successful people suggest doing what one loves because_.awork makes one feel painbone tends to enjoy his workcone gives up his work easilydit takes a lot of time to succeed39what can we infer from paragraph 4?asuccessful people like to show their great skills.bpeople sometimes succeed without luck or talent.cpeople need to achieve success at the cost of life.dit helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.40what is the main theme of the passage?ahaving a goal is vital to success.bbeing good is different from being great.cone cannot succeed without time and practice.dluck, talent and family help to achieve success.di was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in new york，when one of my students,15yearold mikey，gave me a note from his mother.it explained his absence from class the day before.i had seen mikey himself writing the note at his desk.most parentalexcuse notes i received were penned by my students.if i were to deal with them，id be busy 24 hours a day.the forged excuse notes made a large pile，with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy.the writers of these notes didnt realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull：“peter was late because the alarm clock didnt go off.”isnt it remarkable，i thought，how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subjects？but when they produced excuse notes，they were brilliant.so one day i typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. i said，“theyre supposed to be written by parents but actually they are not.true.mikey？”the students looked at me nervously.“now，this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse notethe first class，ever，to practice writing them.youre so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study.”everyone smiled as i went on.“you used your imaginations. so try more now.today id like you to write an excuse note from adam to god or an excuse note from eve to god”heads went down.pens raced across paper.for the first time ever i saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.the next day everyone had excuse notes.heated discussions followed.the headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down looking at papers，and then said，“id like you to see me in my office.”when i stepped into his office，he came to shake my hand and said，“i just want to tell you that that lesson，that task whatever the hell you were doing，was great.those kids were writing on the college level.thank you.”41what did the author do with the students found dishonest?ahe reported them to the headmaster.bhe lectured them hard on honesty.che had them take notes before lunch.dhe helped improve their writing skills.42.the author found that compared with the true excuse notes the produced ones by the students were usually_.aless impressive bmore imaginativecworse
