第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The London Eye, which is 443 feet in height above the Thames River, is the world's biggest spinning structure. It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben,and weighs 1600 tons. It was built to celebrate the year 2000. Maybe building such a big spinning structure sug gested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.

Why did people think of building the London Eye? In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893. It's twice the size of the wheel, but three times lighter, and much more comfortable. The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed(敬畏).

In the London Eye, there are 32 capsules. Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people. And they’re air conditioned in summer, heated in winter. From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.

It was difficult to assemble(安装) and put a wheel of this size. And it required new technology and a lot of imagination. The parts of the London Eye were sent up the Thames River,and the wheel was assembled on temporary platforms on the river. Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge. It took a week to winch(吊) it up to its final position.

Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium. And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.

21.How tall is Big Ben?

A.443 feet.

B. 340-350 feet.

C. 550 feet.

D. 250-260 feet

22.Why did London build the London Eye?

A. To set a new record.

B. To celebrate the Queen's birthday.

C. To celebrate the coming of 2000.

D. To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.

23. From the text, we can learn that___________.

A. it took great trouble for people to build the London Eye

B. the London Eye has been changed into a monument

C. the latest technology was used to assemble the London Eye

D. imagination is not very important to build the London Eye

B

Move Earth --- it's no science fiction

Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is send a few comets in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent into a safer,colder part of the solar system.

This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billio n years to the useful lifetime of our planet- effectively doubling its working life.

The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid(小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.

“Earth's orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun,"Laughlin said.

Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.

In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)---- by cooking us.

That's why the group decided to try to save Earth.

The plan has one or two worrying aspects, though. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation in orbit could fire it straight at Earth----- with deadly consequences.

There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position, it is most likely

that the Moon would be stripped away from Earth. This would greatly change our planet's climate.

24. What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?

A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.

B. Earth's working life is coming to an end soon.

C. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.

D. The moon is moving farther and far ther away from Earth.

25. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of _________ years.

A.12 billion

B.6 billion

C.18 billion

D.24 billion

26. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?

A. Earth might have deadly consequences and man might lose the Moon.

B. Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.

C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.

D. Earth's working life might be greatly shortened.

27. The underlined word“compromise”means __________.

A. provide

B. benefit

C. share

D. endanger

C

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This ide a is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.

Some people go even further.They say that despite the moral and legal objections, whatever is scientifically possible will be done-----somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected(互联的) world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common

understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning (克隆) for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge influence on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.

28.What can we conclude from the recent study?

A. People think highly of science.

B. People hold mixed opinions about science.

C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.

D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.

29. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?

A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.

B. Businesses will have an even greater influence on science.

C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.

D. People will work more actively to put science under control.

30. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because ___________.

A.scientists have failed to predict the outcomes.

B. the ties between different areas need strengthening

C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science

D.people need to wok together to prevent the bad use of science

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.

B. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.

C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.

D.The use of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.

D

Albert Einstein was probably the most famous scientist of the twentieth century. He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as

the greatest physicist who ever lived. What's more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.

In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the United States. In 1939, Einstein, who loved peace afraid of a world in which only Hitler would have an atomic bomb(原子弹)-- tried hard to persuade President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world,.

Although he wasn't connected with any accepted religion, Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was so special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order. He once said,"God may know everything, but he is not hateful.”

32. From the passage we know that ____________.

A. no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this century

B. Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his time

C. Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States

D. Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for his own reasons

33. If Einstein had known that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan, ___________.

A.he would have sopped his scientific research

B. he would have won another Nobel Prize for Peace

C. he would not have advised starting uranium research

D. he would not have moved to the U.S. A.

34. Why did the Nazi government take away all Einstein's things?

A. He visited England and the U.S. A.in 1933.

B. He worked hard for human rights and progress.

C. He advised the U.S. A. to start uranium research.

D. The passage doesn’t mention it.

35. Einstein believed that everything in the universe ____________.

A. was kept in order by its own law

B. had nothing to do with each other

C. happened in an irregular way

D. was made by the personal God
