21．（6分） An experimental cleanup device called RemveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net arund a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that culd ne day cllect spacebrne garbage.
The test, which was carried ut this week, is widely believed t be the first successful demnstratin f space cleanup technlgy, experts tld CNN. And it symblizes an early step tward slving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.
Millins f pieces f junk are turning arund in rbit, the result f 50 years f space travel and few regulatins t keep space clean. At rbital speeds, even a small bit f paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical damage.
Varius cmpanies have plans t send thusands f new satellites int lw-Earth rbit, already the mst crwded area.
The RemveDEBRIS experiment is run by a cmpany and researchers led by the U. K.’s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-wned Surrey Satellite Technlgy Ltd. and France’s ArianeGrup.
Guglielm Aglietti, the directr f Surrey Space Center, said that an peratinal versin f the RemveDEBRlS technlgy wuld cast a net that remains fastened t the main satellite s the debris can be dragged ut f rbit. It culd target large pieces f junk, including dead satellites up t 10 meters lng.
The RemveDEBRIS satellite will cnduct a few mre experiments in the cming mnths, including testing navigatin features that culd help guide the satellite t a specific piece f debris.
Jnathan McDwell, an astrphysicist at the Harvard-Smithsnian Center fr Astrphysics, said the success f this week’s experiment was exciting, but he cautined against “ver- publicizing” it.
There are still enrmus barriers t clear befre peratinal cleanup tasks are underway, he said, and the mst discuraging is figuring ut hw t fund such prjects.
Aglietti, the Surrey prfessr wh helped lead the RemveDEBRIS prject, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authrities t spnsr these tasks.” Aglietti said he hpes RemveDEBRIS will cnduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces f junk in the mst crwded rbits.
1、What is the use f the RemveDEBRIS satellite?
A．Demnstrating space technlgy.
B．Imitating a develping technique.
C．Cllecting wastes existing in space.
D．Symblizing great prgress in space.
2、Hw des the RemveDEBRlS satellite wrk?
A．By thrwing a net t take the junk frm rbit.
B．By fastening it t the main satellite tightly.
C．By dragging satellites up t 10 meters lng.
D．By targeting large pieces f junk carefully.
3、What des the underlined wrd “spnsr” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A．Accmplish.B．Supprt.C．Oppse.D．Prvide.
4、What’s the best title fr the text?
A．The RemveDEBRIS Prject Is Perfect
B．Hw RemveDEBRIS Is Invented in the Lab
C．Why the RemveDEBRIS Satellite Is Invented
D．Satellite Cllects Space Junk fr the First Time
22．（8分）In ur life,they are tw different types f dreamer，一lw-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers. Accrding t researchers at the Lyn Ner-science Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reprted they remembered their dreams almst every day while lw-recall dreamers said they nly remembered their dreams nce r twice a mnth, reprted Live Science.
Perrine Ruby,a lead scientist at the research center in Lyn, studied 41 peple (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 lw-recall dreamers) and recrded their brain activity. She fund that a part f the brain called the tempr-parietal junctin ( 颞顶叶交界处）was mre active in high-recall dreamers. This was true bth when they were sleeping and awake. This area f the brain is respnsible fr cllecting and prcessing infrmatin frm the utside wrld. This means that high-recall dreamers are mre sensitive t what is happening arund them. Fr example, when they are awake, they respnd mre strngly t hearing their wn names. When they are sleeping, they tend t be wken up mre easily by sunds and mvements.
By clsely studying peple’s brain activity, Ruby fund that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as lw-recall dreamers d. And it is during these shrt perids f wakefulness that the brain memrizes dreams.
This is nt hard t understand. Just try t think f yur wn sleeping experience. If yu are restless during the night, yu are mre likely t remember yur dreams, but if yu sleep well and sundly, yu tend t remember very little in the mrning. This is because “yu never get a chance t remember”, Rbert Stickgld, a Harvard Medical Schl researcher, tld The Washingtn Pst.
As anther research prject at the University f Turku in Finland shwed, dream cntent can als affect ur memry. Negative dreams are easier t recall than rdinary dreams. Nightmares are ften recalled because they are emtinally negative, and such dreams cause fear.
1、What can we knw abut high-recall dreamers accrding t the article?
A．They have very little brain activity when they sleep.
B．They can remember their dreams clearly.
C．They dn’t knw hw t describe their dreams.
D．They can’t remember their dreams.
2、Which is true abut lw-recall dreamers cmpared t high-recall dreamers?
A．They have higher quality sleep.
B．They have mre sleepless nights
C．They are mre easily wken at night.
D．They respnd faster when hearing their names.
3、What is the main purpse f the secnd t last paragraph?
A．T explain Ruby’s findings.
B．T attract readers, interest in future studies.
C．T shw the advantages f being a lw-recall dreamer.
D．T suggest what t d t becme a lw-recall dreamer.
4、What did the research prject in Finland find?
A．Ordinary dreams can help ur brain rest.
B．Dreams are ften affected by ur emtins.
C．Nightmares ften happen when we dn't sleep well.
D．Negative dreams are mre likely t be recalled.
23．（8分） While elephants brn withut tusks (长牙)are nt unheard f，they nrmally frm just 2 t 6 percent f the ppulatin. Hwever, that is nt the case at Mzambique’s Grngsa Natinal Park, where an astnishing 33 percent f female elephants brn after the cuntry’s civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear t be just a cincidence, Jyce Ple, an elephant behavir expert, has anther thery. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evlutin f the species due t the cnstant hunting f elephants fr valuable ivry.
Ple says befre the cuntry’s 15-year-lng civil war, the 100,000—acre park was hme t ver 4,000 elephants. Hwever, by the time the cnflict ended in 1992, abut 90 percent f them had been killed fr ivry t help finance weapns (武器)and meat t feed the sldiers. Of the less than 200 survivrs, ver 50 percent f adult females had n tusks. Therefre, it is nt surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant ppulatin has grwn greatly.
This is nt the first time researchers have bserved a great change in the ppulatin f elephants. At Zambia’s Suth Luangwa Natinal Park and Lupande Game Management Area， areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% f elephants 25 years r lder and 13% f thse yunger than 25 are nw withut tusks. A 2008 study published in the African Jurnal f Eclgy fund that the number f tuskless females at the Ruaha Natinal Park in Tanzania went frm 10.5 percent in 1969 t almst 40 percent in 1989, largely due t illegal hunting fr ivry.
The recent ban n ivry in bth the US and China shuld help get rid f, r at least reduce, elephant hunting. Hwever, scientists are nt sure hw lng it will take fr elephants with a higher rate f tuskless females, t change the trend.
1、What is the prbable cause f the phenmenn mentined in Paragraph 1 ?
A．Illegal hunting.B．Cnstant farming.
C．A pure cincidence.D．Natural evlutin.
2、Why did peple kill s many elephants during the civil war in Mzambique?
A．T get funds by selling ivry.B．T develp new weapns.
C．T prvide fd fr lcal peple.D．T make ivry prducts.
3、Which f the fllwing had the earliest recrd n tuskless elephants?
A．Grngnsa Natinal Park.B．Suth Luangwa Natinal Park.
C．The Ruaha Natinal Park.D．Lupande Game Management Area.
4、What des the underlined phrase “the trend”in the last paragraph refer t?
A．Elephants facing greater danger.
B．Elephants grwing mre slwly.
C．Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D．Mre female elephants being tuskless.
24．（8分）Wuldn’t it be wnderful t travel t a freign cuntry withut having t wrry abut the headache f cmmunicating in a different language?
In a recent Wall Street Jurnal article, technlgy plicy expert Alec Rss argued that, within a decade r s, we’ll be able t cmmunicate with ne anther via small earpieces with built-in micrphnes. That’s because technlgical prgress is extremely rapid. It’s nly a matter f time. Indeed, sme parents are s cnvinced that this technlgy is imminent that they’re wndering if their kids shuld even learn a secnd language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy f the data laded int cmputers will make them cleverer at translating “N es buen drmir much” as “It’ s nt gd t sleep t much.” Replacing a wrd with its equivalent (同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” f a translatr’s jb. But even this seems t be a discuraging task fr cmputers.
It’s s difficult fr cmputers because translatin desn’t—r shuldn’t—invlve simply translating wrds, sentences r paragraphs. Rather, it’s abut translating meaning. And in rder t infer meaning frm a specific expressin, humans have t interpret a mass f infrmatin at the same time.
Think abut all the related clues that g int understanding an expressin: vlume, gesture, situatin, and even yur culture. All are likely t cnvey as much meaning as the wrds yu use.
Therefre, we shuld be very skeptical f a machine that is unable t interpret the wrld arund us. If peple frm different cultures can ffend each ther withut realizing it, hw can we expect a machine t d better? Unless engineers actually find a way t breathe a sul int a cmputer, undubtedly when it cmes t cnveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take ur place.
1、What des the underlined wrd “imminent” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A．Ready. B．Appraching.
C．Helpful. D．Advanced.
2、Why is it hard fr cmputers t replace a wrd with its equivalent?
A．Their data is nt adequate enugh.
B．The real meaning f wrds can vary.
C．Their accuracy needs big imprvement.
D．A sul hasn’t been breathed in them.
3、What view des the authr hld abut translatin?
A．Prper translatin can be tugh fr humans.
B．Slight distinctins matter little in translatin.
C．Sme machines will interpret ur wrld prperly.
D．Cultures deserve mre attentin than wrds used.
4、What is the best title fr the text?
A．An Expert’s P It's s difficult fr cmputers because translatin desn't﹣r recise Predictin
B．The Cmplexity f Translatin
C．Wh Will Be a Better Translatr
D．Will Language Barrier Actually Fall
5、What is the authr’s attitude t the mdern technlgy?
A．Unclear. B．Objective.
C．Optimistic. D．Negative.
25．（10分）Mst f us spend a lt f time trying t figure ut what makes us. We search the Internet fr persnality quizzes. We think endlessly ver the things we’ve said r dne. We pick teams-shy r utging—and then make ur decisins thrugh the label we’ve chsen. Other peple, thugh-that can be a little mre f a puzzle. It’s nt likely that yu can get much insight (深入了解) frm taking a persnality quiz n smene else’s behalf. But new research suggests that all that self-reflectin yu’ve been ding may be helpful here—a team f psychlgists fund a clse link between greater self-awareness and scial intelligence. The team leader Bckler said, “T get inside ther peple’s heads, then it may be best t start with yur wn.”
Over the curse f three mnths, Bckler and her clleagues cllected data frm 161 peple between the ages f 20 and 50 as they experienced a “thughtful training” designed t help them fcus n their inner lives. The participants wh imprved mst ver curse f the training were als the nes wh shwed the mst grwth in hw easily they culd infer anther persn, s mental state, a skill knwn as the thery f mind.
Bckler believes these results are especially imprtant given ur current state f affairs. “Many f the glbal challenges that we face tday—taking in refugees (难民), vercming between-grup cnflicts, r leading mre sustainable (可持续的) lives—require that we put urselves in the shes f thers,” she said.
Still, we tend t seek inner cnsideratin as a gal in itself, while underestimating (低估) the ways it can als help us cnnect mre clsely t thers. Self-awareness isn’t limited t just us—it spreads ut int ur relatinships, t. Taking all thse persnality quizzes when yu’re bred n yur cmputer may nt be the mst helpful in that regard (就这一点而言), but by trying t becme mre aware f yur wn thughts, yu can begin t shape yurself int smene mre sympathetic (富有同情心的), mre smart and better at understanding the wrld utside yur head.
1、What is implied in the first paragraph?
A．A persnality quiz turns ut a puzzle.
B．Peple prefer t d persnality quizzes.
C．There are few strategies t understand thers.
D．Self-awareness has nthing t d with scial intelligence.
2、What is the thery f mind accrding t the text?
A．A pattern f persnal behavirs.
B．A sign f inner persnalities.
C．A standard fr the mental state.
D．A skill t understand thers.
3、What Bckler said prved that the results are ’.
A．practical t deal with mdem scial prblems
B．the slutins t the current glbal challenges
C．a basis fr a wrld withut any cnflicts
D．the requirements fr the sustainable lives f refugees
4、It can be inferred frm the last paragraph that the appreciatin f thers ’.
A．isn’t a limit t self-awareness at all
B．ges hand in hand with self-understanding
C．is ur way f being cnnected with thers
D．makes us care mre abut ur wn thughts
