Most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash（垃圾） there that scientists are now concerned that if we dont clean it up, we may all be in great danger. The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any results, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning（抛弃） things that no longer served any useful purpose in space. It is said that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk. The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spaceship. Moreover, pieces of junk may crash with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there. 21. What was the first piece of man-made space trash? A. A camera. B. A tool kit. C. A fuel tank. D. A broken satellite. 22. Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning? A. It no longer served any useful purpose. B. It was millions of miles away from the Earth. C. It did not cause any problems. D. It was regarded as similar to comets and stars. 23. Which of the following statements is true about space junk? A. It is huge, heavy machines. B. It never changes position. C. It floats slowly around the Earth. D. It may cause problems for space shuttles. 24. What has been done about the space trash problem? A, Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash. B. Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched. C. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space. D. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space. B Many people dont realize the importance of music education in the schools todayA new study showed, however, music education is extremely important In college, music education is one of the largest programsTeachers have to learn general education materials and techniques They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much moreAt the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music Music plays a very important role in our education Music helps with math and science Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divideStudents also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesntStudents also need science to understand something called the “overtone series, which is about how music is produced by vibration（颤动）and why Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient onesStudents must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students become familiar with that very often while singing Students learn a huge amount of cooperation of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better togetherStudents must use skills in order to play an instrumentSingers and instrument players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as theyre playing the music Music education also brings higher thinking to our childrenIt allows them to think about complex patternsStudents have to be aware of what every other musician does at every timeIn that way, it develops cooperation, as wellThey tend to develop more ability for learning As one can see, music is very important to education 25According to the passage, learning music in college will be quite A easy B stressful C impressive D useless 26As to the benefits from music, which of the following is NOT included in the passage? A Calculation B Language study C RelaxationD Cooperation of body parts 27The underlined word that in Para5 refers to“ A the music B the language C the culture D the work 28What can we know from the passage? A Science and music are extreme poles B Only the wisest person can learn music well C Music is good to our all-round developmentD All of us know the importance of music clearly C It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect. Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together, said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. Yawning may be part of that. Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did. The fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them, she said. The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others, she added. Autistic people never seem to understand that. Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group. 29. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs? A. Yawning is a form of communication. B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn. C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God. 30. According to Molly Helt, _. A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others B. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not D. yawning helps clear ears on planes 31. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning? A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn. B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others. C. Yawning can be used to test childrens development. D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. 32. The author implies in the last paragraph that _. A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory. B. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions. C. the more you yawn, the happier you will be. D. yawning can make people feel relaxed.
