exist elsewhere Since the Earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe But to obtain proof is difficult 用心 爱心 专心 10 The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms The Moon may be ruled out at once it has hardly any atmosphere Venus is little better the surface temperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals while the attractive Martians of the story tellers have long since been given up Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the supposed people on Mars In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree patterns in Siberia so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably Following up this idea the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed digging very wide ditches in the Sahara triangular in patterns and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that when lit the ditches would present Martian observers with a flaming triangle which would show the existence here of intelligent minds Even better were the plans of Charles Cross a French writer of the 1870 s who wanted to build a large mirror to reflect the sun s rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars thereby making a vast burning glass By swinging the mirror around Cross explained it would be practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand For many years he bombarded 炮轰 the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown 48 The opinion of the writer is that A there may be other intelligent beings in the universe B there are other intelligent beings in the universe 用心 爱心 专心 11 C people living on the earth are almost certainly the only intelligent beings in the universe D people living on the earth are definitely the only intelligent beings in the universe 49 There is unlikely any life on Venus because A the surface is too hotB the weather is too cold C it is severely short of waterD it has a very thin atmosphere 50 It seems that Mars A may be inhabited by attractive Martians B may have some vegetable life C can have no life at all D may have both vegetable and animal life 51 Charles Cross felt A angry when the government paid little attention to his ideas B pleased when the government did take notice of his plan C surprised that the officials were interested in his suggestion D disappointed at the lack of interest shown in his plan D There will always be bears and there will always be bulls but one can never know when one will dominate the other This quote by noted economist William Urster efficiently summarizes the economic theory of market cycles in which periods of economic growth must inevitably be followed by periods of downturn and vice versa These respective periods play off one another reinforcing a positive trend of growth over the long term It is a tradition on Wall Street to refer to periods of sustained economic loss and recession as bear markets The name is derived from the way a bear attacks its prey by swinging downward with its 用心 爱心 专心 12 claws thus indicating the market s downward charted trend The bull market however is explained as following the upward motion a bull uses to attack its enemy with its horns signaling an upward trend for the economy As the bear and the bull do battle the investors find the economy quite unpredictable and thus hard to apply the time honored philosophy of buying stocks when the market is low so as to sell when the market is high at a substantial profit Such market timing is not necessary however Over the history of the American stock exchange the long term pattern for the economy has always been up In fact the American economy as gaugedgauged by the Standard and Poor s Index has grown at an astonishing 11 average per year Thus by simply investing at an appropriate time and keeping one s money in the market long term investors who can stomach the roller coaster 忽好忽坏的 ride through the down periods will come out much richer for it in the long run Few seem to have the patience and discipline to think long term in the market however preferring to gamble instead by hopping in and out of stocks hoping to catch the buy at the lowest point and the sell at the highest It has been statistically proven however that such short term trading tends to result in losses over time Aside from losses due to bad sales tax consequences and brokerage fees chip away at these short sighted traders pockets reinforcing the lesson Patience is a virtue it s said and the stock market certainly provides no exception 52 It is argued that the least successful investors are those who A invest only in the short term B try to time market periods by constantly buying and selling C maintain a long term view of the economy D have the discipline to invest for long term periods 用心 爱心 专心 13 53 The underlined word gauged means A calculated something by using a particular instrument B tried to make a judgment about something C made an estimate D expressed an opinion about something 54 What can be inferred from the text A If an investor has patience he will see his money grow in the stock market B Without discipline an investor cannot make money in the United States stock market C The US economy is best characterized by the metaphor of the bull D Even when losses are suffered a long term approach will end in profit 55 The author uses the quote by Urster in the first paragraph in order to A support his hypothesis by showing that a prominent figure agrees with him B use an expert s opinion as the basis of his argument C explain why the stock market is such an unpredictable institution D introduce the main point of the text E Directions Directions Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text There is one extra heading A The development of HSK B Why the Chinese language getting popular C Foreigners learning Chinese to trade with China D More foreign people learning Chinese E Chinese more than a language F South Korean students learning Chinese 用心 爱心 专心 14 56 Growing numbers of foreigners are showing a desire to learn the Chinese language according to the latest official statistics It is estimated that the number coming to China to learn the language has maintained an average annual growth rate of 35 per cent over the past few years 57 China s continuous economic expansion and the strengthening of its trade and business ties with the rest of the world have been behind the interest in learning Chinese These kinds of business engagements have in turn s
