34、studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton. Who was a brillian

35、t mathematician. Newton thought he had already which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientist. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had a

36、ppeared in the years 1531, 1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comet

37、s, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1

38、758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before.

The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around.CMillions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth. In the days o

41、f dinosaurs, the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.We can guess another reaso

42、n. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and strong .They could kill dinosaurs.There may be other reasons that we dont know about yet. Scientists are are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, wh

43、ile some were about 90 feet long.There were also terrible rights between dinosaurs. They night have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animals footprints(足迹)that fights did take place .49. According to the passage, dinosa

44、urs did exist only on the earth _.A. for millions of year B. millions of years agoC. more than 100 million years agoD. when it was warm and wet somewhere50. One reason why dinosaurs died out is that _.A. there were too many dinosaurs B. parts of the earth became cold and dry C. the dead forests ther

45、e could not supply them with enough food D. they couldnt find enough go eat51.

46、rs died in the fights52. We can see from this passage _.A. scientists are trying to make some dinosaurs B. dinosaurs are dangerous enough C. dinosaurs are worth studying D. scientists know nothing about dinosaursDThe blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the ho

47、use-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding. Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal

48、 for drawing the females attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful. A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an inte

49、rested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail. If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding t

50、owards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them. 53 How do the blue tits choose their nest?A. They choose their nest together. B. The male chooses their nest. C. The

51、house-hunter chooses their nest. D. The female chooses their nest. 54. The writer was lucky to see _. A. how the male made his tricksB. how an interested female played with the male happilyC. what the male displayed and won the femaleD. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female55

52、. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood _. A. at any timeB. regularly C. in April D. occasionally56. The writer is probably _. A. a bird expert B. a bird-hunterC. a bird raiser D. a scientistEWith only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the ani

53、mal and save the endangered species(物种). Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in li

54、quid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, bir

55、ds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now

56、trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They wil

57、l probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of th

58、e leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot

59、we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.” 57. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to _.A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasB. save endangered animals from dying outC. collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD. transfer the nuclear of one an

60、imal to another58. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.A. available panda eggsB. host animalsC. qualified researchersD. enough money59. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Chinas Success in Pandas Cloning                                         B. The First Cloned
