12、）Discoverys astronauts arrived to an exciting celebration Wednesday as nearly 700 people crowded an airplane storage place, waving flags and holding signs that read: “Welcome Home, Astronauts!”The seven-person team returned to Earth on Tuesday after being the first to take a space shuttle into orbit

13、 since the Columbia disaster(灾难) of 2003.“In the last two and a half years, we have been through the very worst that manned space flight can bring us, and over the past two weeks we have seen the very best,” NASA Administrator Michael Griffin told the astronauts and their families and fans Wednesday

14、.The crowd waved American flags for the U.S. astronauts and Japanese flags for crew member Soichi Noguchi, one of the spacewalkers.“As a rookie（新手）astronaut, I could not ask for more,” Noguchi said, “We had three spacewalks, two extra days in space and one great team.”While the homecoming has been f

15、illed with excitement for what mission controllers declared a “truly spectacular test flight”, uncertainty remains for the future of the shuttle program.Shortly after Discovery rose up into space July 26, a nearly 1-pound large piece of foam insulation（泡沫绝缘材料） fell from the fuel tankthe very thing t

16、hat was supposed to have been fixed after Columbia exploded. The foam missed Discovery, but NASA grounded all shuttle flights until engineers fix the problem.NASA ground crews examined Discovery after its return from orbit and found it in good condition, an official said Wednesday at NASAs Dryden Fl

21、ken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a compet

22、itive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. Its a very common thing for gymnasts, so its easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gy

23、mnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity th

24、at is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. Thats why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also

25、a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is

26、one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders dont use

27、protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerle

28、ading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the s

29、core of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.1、What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?ATo compare skills of participants.BTo make the audience feel amused.CTo attract more people to watch events.DTo cheer up the competitors

30、on the court.2、The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Aexamine BcombineCidentify Dreplace3、We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading _.Alacks necessary guidelines to followBenjoys greater popularity than other sportsCrequires more designed actions than gy

37、 The offense may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive as a whole paper copiedor boughtfrom somebody else.Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other peoples work. Yet the same technolo

38、gy that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to identify plagiarism.Teachers can use online services that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work. The teacher gets a report on any passage that is similar enough to suspect plagiarism. These services a

39、re widely used. T, for example, says it is used in more than 100 countries and examines more than 130,000 papers a day.Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. In schools, the punishment for cheating could be a failing grade on the paper or in the c

40、ourse. Some schools expel(驱逐) plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year. Some degrees have even been withdrawn after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.Accidental plagiarism can sometimes result from cultural differences.At Indiana University in Bloomington, 60 percen

41、t of students who use the Office of Writing Tutorial Services are non-native English speakers. The director, Joanne Vogt, says some have no idea that copying from published works is considered wrong. She says students from China, for example, may think they are insulting readers if they credit other

42、 sources. They believe that educated readers should already know where the information came from.The more you give credit, the less you risk accusations of plagiarism. Any sentence taken directly from a source should appear inside quotation marks. And even if you put those sentences into your own wo

43、rds, you should still give credit to where you got the information.1、According to the passage, what is the role of the Internet in Plagiarism?AThe Internet discourages people from choosing proper papers to copy.BThe Internet helps people get their papers published online.CThe Internet enables people

44、 to share their papers with others.DThe Internet contributes to people copying papers from others easily.2、We can infer from the passage that teachers know a paper is copied when they _.Ahappen to be familiar with the content of the paperBmake investigations concerning the paper among studentsCcompa

45、re the paper with many others online to search for the copied onesDsearch journal and periodicals in the library for the original paper3、Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the punishment for plagiarism?AFine of a certain amount of money. BWithdrawal of some degrees.CBeing forced to lea

46、ve school. DA failing grade.4、The underlined expression “give credit” in the last paragraph probably means _.Aattribute what youve quoted from other sources to the original writersBpraise the original writer for providing useful informationCgive the original writer a credit card for your copying the

47、 paperDadmit that the original writer has a good reputation25（10分）It is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its wa

48、ters, you will not age. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon searched for waters with magical powers in the early 1500s. But what he found instead is the American state of Florida.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging pr

49、ocess. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus.The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. Cai Dongsheng, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, found that hypothalamus stem cells i

50、nfluence how fast aging takes place in the body as well. He also reported that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body.“So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually

51、 leads to aging.”Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) or energize the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting (注射) the animals with stem cells. Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in

52、the strength of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive (认知) ability of the mice.The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live l

53、onger.These findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of health issues concerning aging problems. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? This is the question Cai and his team are thinking about.1、What did Juan Ponce de Leon fin
