Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
Being alone in outer space can be   36 . That is one reason why astronauts on solo(單獨(dú)的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them   37 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.   38 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潛水艇) voyages. It will also happen on  39 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of  40 is. When men are  41 together for a long period, they begin to feel   42  . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very   43  .
Apparently, although no one wants to be  44 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of  45 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to   46 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in   47 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

小題1:根據(jù)文章意思，獨(dú)自一人在太空中是很害怕。
小題2:給他們很多活干，目的就是讓他們忙碌。故用busy。

小題6:根據(jù)文章中提到的“在潛艇和太空船中”，可以知道這里應(yīng)指人被“關(guān)”起來。shut up“關(guān)閉；將人囚禁”；hold up“舉起，阻止”；bring up“撫養(yǎng)；提出話題；嘔吐”；pick up“好轉(zhuǎn)；接收到；學(xué)會(huì)”。
小題7:當(dāng)幾個(gè)人長(zhǎng)時(shí)間被囚禁在一起，漸漸地他們會(huì)變得不安。uneasy“不安”。
小題8:文中指的是“一開始，幾個(gè)人可以相互接受對(duì)方的一些習(xí)慣，但長(zhǎng)時(shí)間后，可能會(huì)覺得這比較煩人”。pleasing“討人喜歡的”；annoying“使人煩惱的”；common“常見的”；valuable“有價(jià)值的”。
小題9:根據(jù)上文提到的情況，因此這里指“沒人想要一直獨(dú)自一人”。故用alone。
小題10:這里應(yīng)選一個(gè)與stress并列的詞，故用pressure“壓力”。emphasis“強(qiáng)調(diào)”；conflict“沖突”；power“權(quán)力”。
小題11:本句的意思是“能很好地調(diào)整心態(tài)的人能比其他人很好地處理具有壓力的局面”。handle=" deal" with“處理”；create“創(chuàng)造”；affect“影響”；investigate“調(diào)查”。
小題12:根據(jù)上文提到的內(nèi)容可知：這里是指在選擇宇航員時(shí)為什么會(huì)特別關(guān)注這方面的情況。

New York: when the first jet struck, World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the People in 2 World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they, too, must do: get out fast.
Katherine Hachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Hachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Centre, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (經(jīng)理), screamed and set off too.
But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.
Amid the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the sound tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.
Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions(警告) to stop or return, went hack up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were doomed(注定死亡) when the second jet crashed into the south tower, killing many and stranding(使某物留在) many more in the floors above where the jet hit.
One of those caught in indecision was the executive at Fuji Bank UAS.
Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed-into their floor.
“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr. Jacobs said.
1. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane_______.
A. at 8: 30                   
B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower
C. at around 9:06
D. at 8:48
2. The underlined words “stay put” means_______.
A. stay in the building                        B. leave at once
C. put everything back and then leave   D. keep silent
3. Which floor was hit by the second jet?
A. the 91st floor                                 B. the 103rd floor
C. the 60th floor                                D. the 79th floor
4. Fewer people would have died if_______.
A. more announcement had been made
B. people hadn’t used the lifts
C. the incident had happened on a weekend
D. the people had obeyed the office rules

Almost 55,000 people who have had a major impact on British society are profiled in a new 60-volume book that has taken 12 years to compile.
It has cost more than ￡25million and taken 10,000 writers to update the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
Murder victims Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger are among those joining the likes of Queen Victoria and Gandhi.
The new version of the dictionary, which was founded in 1882, costs ￡7,500 and takes up 12 feet of shelf space.
Projects director Robert Faber said Stephen Lawrence was included because his death triggered "dramatic developments in British policing and social policy".
Women make up 10% of the entries - double the previous share - and include Queen Elizabeth I, Dusty Springfield, Linda McCartney and Virginia Woolf, whose father compiled the first edition.
Alongside the famous names are lesser known individuals such as the inventor of snooker, army reservist(預(yù)備役軍人)Neville Chamberlain.
Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger were both included because of the "overwhelming soul-searching(真摯的自我反省、深思)and examination of education and social policy" which followed their deaths.
Mr Faber said: "These are not just people who were killed but people who had an impact. Jill Dando is there as much for her career but also because her death became a public event.
"So many of these people have seized the public imagination and have contributed to public debate."

BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua)-China's top economic planning body has confirmed the government will take concrete actions to develop a low-carbon economy after it promised to considerably reduce carbon emission (排放) at  last year's Copenhagen Climate Conference.
China would include the low-carbon targets in the 12th five-year plan for national economic development (2011-2015) to build an energy-saving, ecologically friendly society, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a report to the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC).
The report said the government would launch a series of technological and financial support policies to promote the use of non-fossil, renewable energies including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal (地?zé)? and nuclear power, aiming to increase its percentage of primary energy consumption to about 15 percent by 2020 from 9.9 percent at the end of last year.
China's installed wind power capacity (容量) reached 15 million kilowatts, with 10 million kilowatts under construction at the end of June 2009, while nuclear power under construction, installed hydro-electric power capacity and solar heating collection areas were the highest in the world, it said.
The commission was also planning to make a catalog (目錄) of emissions of greenhouse gases in an effort to build a monitoring and checking system to cut carbon emissions.
The economic planner decided to control unnecessary construction and industries with surplus (多余的)production capacities, such as steel, cement and electrolytic aluminum, to promote the energy efficiency and environmental protection.
The government had drafted a plan on regional development to transfer industries in eastern areas to central and western regions.
The State Council announced in November that China would reduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.
67.Which of the following best summarizes the low-carbon economy China is to develop?
A.Energy-saving and ecologically friendly.
B.Promoting the use of clean energy.
C.Developing the industry in the wild west.
D.Reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 50 percent.
68.Which of the following does NOT belong to China's low-carbon measures mentioned in the text?
A.Limiting the use of nuclear power and other primary energy.
B.Setting up a system to monitor and check carbon emission.
C.Controlling unnecessary construction and industries with extra production capacities.
D.Planning to move industries from eastern areas to central and western regions.
69.If you are planning to start your own business in line with the low-carbon economy, which is the best choice?
A. An iron and steel plant.     B. A petrochemical works.
C. A solar heating company.  D. A construction company.
70.The passage is mainly about     .
A. China's plan of economy development in the 12th five-year plan
B. China's efforts to build up a low-carbon economy
C. NDRC's reaction to Copenhagen Climate Conference
D. NDRC's plan handed over to the Standing committee of 11th NPC

B
WASHINGTON – It’s a great achievement that inspires notions of robots with consciousness and independent minds.
When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. However, a recently made robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage.
The new robot, which looks like a splay – legged, four – footed starfish can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Vermont, who is one of the device’s creator. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to Earth.”
A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot’s movements and signals to its built – in computer. From the formation it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot’s legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking – it used three legs instead of four.
The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One pellicle spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea terrain might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish  is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.
46．The newly designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it___________
A．can communicate with people on the earth about their problems
B．works according to a certain computer program
C．can find its problems and solve them automatically
D．can explore unfamiliar places
47．An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ___________
A．is used to create new programs
B．has typical robot functions
C．has sensors to observe its movements
D．can gather information and adapt to new conditions
48．The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robot is ___________.
A．creative    B．newly made     C．a(chǎn)ble to recover    D．informative
49．Which of the following is TURE about the robot “Starfish”?
A．It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability?
B．It will stumble and fall if damaged.
C．It can grow its legs again once they are broken.
D．It has started to work on the ocean floor.
50．What might be the best title of the passage?
A．How does the Starfish Robot work
B．Do – It – Yourself Robot Repair
C．Robots Designed to Work On Other Planets
D．New Robot Helping Us In Many Ways
