They dont realize that space is rapidly becoming an informational desert, and that there will be very few people interested in going into space for any reason whatsoever in the future.In 2050 there will likely be a “Planet Channel” for every planet of the solar system, but most people will be very content to watch what the robots are doing rather than run down Olympus Mons on Mars in person, at 1/3 gravity, as fun as that may sound. By the middle of this century，our “eyes in space” will have run out of almost everything that might be interesting to find. As the astronomer Martin Harwit observed in the excellent and very underappreciated Cosmic Discovery,1981, we have been running out of unique astronomical features to discover for decades.By the mid 21st century there will be a few areas of the physical spectrum (范围), like gravity waves, which will remain underexplored. But virtually everything else will have been modeled well to a first approximation (概算), and our simulation science will be clearly more fruitful at that time than our data driven explorations. Already, Hubble sees to the edge of the universe. What more can we ask? Thats like having a map of Earth. Once you get the first one, you pay a lot less for the next ones.Unlike inner space, the range of possibility for probing (探测), combining and computing with ever more miniaturized (小型化的) matter, outer space rapidly becomes “computationally closed”. There is simply no compelling reason to go to outer space, and every reason to go to inner space, as well discuss more later.1According to the author, in 2050 most people would like to _.Aexplore outer space themselvesBkeep robots working for themCgo to Olympus Mons on MarsDwatch robots exploring outer space2What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?AThe reason why future humans should go into outer space.BThe reason why we shouldnt make much effort in exploring outer space.CThe history and the future of space exploration.DThe difference in outer space exploration and inner space exploration.3The author holds the view that _.Ahumans can survive in outer space in the futureBmuch of outer space remains to be discoveredCthere remains very little for us to explore in outer spaceDwe should keep a balance between the exploration of outer and inner space4What will the author talk about in the paragraph closely following the passage?AThe need to explore inner space.BHow to explore inner space.CThe difficulty in exploring inner space.DWhat “computationally closed” means.BTOKYO If you grow old in Japan, you may expect to be served food by a robot, ride a voicerecognition wheelchair or even possibly hire a nurse in a robotic suit all examples of cuttingedge technology to care for the countrys rapidly graying population.With nearly 22 percent of Japans population already aged 65 or older, businesses here have been rolling out everything from easyentry cars to remotecontrolled beds, fueling a caretechnology market worth some $1.08 billion in 2006, according to industry figures.At a home care and rehabilitation (恢复) convention in Tokyo this week, buyers crowded round a demonstration of Secom Co.s My Spoon feeding robot，which helps elderly or disabled people eat with a spoon and a fitted swiveling (转动的) arm.Operating a joystick (操纵杆) with his chin, developer Shigehisa Kobayashi maneuvered the arm toward a block of soft tofu, deftly (灵活地) getting the fork to break off a piece. The arm then returned to a preprogrammed position in front of the mouth, allowing Kobayashi to bite and swallow.“Its all about empowering people to help themselves，” Kobayashi said. The Tokyobased company has already sold 300 of the robots, which come with a price tag of $ 3,500. “We want to give the elderly control over their own lives，” he said.The rapidly aging population here has spurred a spate of concerns: a labor shortage, tax falls, financial difficulties in paying the health bills and pensions of large numbers of the elderly.Moreover, a breakdown of family ties in recent years means a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren.Thats where cuttingedge technology steps in.5The underlined word “maneuvered” in the fourth paragraph probably means “_”Amoved skillfullyBturned carefullyClifted with effort Dfixed quickly6My Spoon feeding robot is specially designed for _.Athose aged 65 or olderBthose who have difficulty in feeding themselvesCthose who have lost the ability of eatingDthose who can move their arms freely7With the special robots, the elderly in Japan can _.Aput their lives under the control of the robotsBhelp themselvesCsave a lot of money for the governmentDhave their medical bills reduced8We can conclude from the passage that _.Athe cuttingedge technology makes it easier for the young and old in Japan to keep tiesBthe cuttingedge technology has changed the traditional family system in JapanCthe elderly in Japan usually live far away from their children and grandchildrenDthe rapidly aging population in Japan has caused many social problemsCThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weatherbeaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.9The author expected the train trip to be _.Aboring BpleasantCexciting Dadventurous10What did the author remember most fondly of his train trip?AThe mountains along the way.BThe friendly country people.CThe crowds of people in the streets.DThe simple lunch served on the train.11Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “relish” in the second paragraph?AChoose. BCarry on.CPrepare for. DEnjoy.12What can we learn from the story?AComfort in traveling by train.BSmiles brighten people up.CReading gives people delight.DPleasure of living in the country.DIf you think it is cold where you are at the moment, then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.With the average temperature for January standing at 50 ， it is no wonder that the village is the coldest inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the “Pole of Cold”， the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon is 71.2 ， which is the lowest recorded temperature for any inhabited location on earth.Ironically, Oymyakon actually means “nonfreezing water”due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the towns bare necessities and the locals work as reindeerbreeders, hunters and icefisherman.The village is located around 750 metres above sea level and the length of a day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in summer. And despite its terrible winters, in June, July and August temperatures over 30 are not uncommon.There are few modern conveniences in the village with many buildings still having outdoor toilets and most people still burning coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular, the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town will shut down in about five hours, and the pipes will freeze and crack.Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to peoples faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there is coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves could not work in such cold conditions.Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days.13According to the text, Oymyakon _.Ais the coldest location on the earthBhas got frozen water all over the yearCgets its name because of a nearby hot spring Dcan enjoy quite a few modern conveniences14Mobile phones could not work in Oymyakon because _.Athe batteries are of poor qualityBthe extreme coldness makes them lose powerCthere is no coverage for phone receptionDthe phone reception is too far away to receive the signals15We can learn from the text that _.Adaily problems usually accompany the localsBthe town often stops working because of no coal delivery Clocals only live on reindeer meat and horse meatDlocals have no awareness of saving their resources.任务型阅读(满分10分)How to Do Well in ExamsDo not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. 16._An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it. On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 17._Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breathes to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”， “compare” and “evaluate”. 18._It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a wellanswered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.19_If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students.20._ADo not arrive too early, though, as other peoples anxiety can be infectious，and you may suffer from unnecessary panic.BTry not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.CWhen you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didnt understand. DSleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.EMap out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.FGo and have a wellearned rest, then prepare for your next examGUnderestimate the test in your mind. .完形填空(满分30分)It was a cold, wet day when 14yearold Wasana Sanjeewa arrived at St. Anthonys College.
