2017年秋高三（A）英语作业（18） 阅读理解 AWikipedia is a free-access, free content Internet encyclopedia(百科全书), supported and hosted by the non-profit Wikipedia Foundation. Wikipedia is ranked among the ten most popular websites and is considered the Internets largest and most popular general reference book. Now, Wikipedia is becoming Wookiepedia as scientists hope the informative website will help us reach out to intelligent life forms. So aliens can learn about the human race.Astronomers would like to beam (播送) the entire contents of Wikipedia into space in the hope of contacting aliens. They want to send messages to hundreds of star systems and planets 20 light years away using radio telescopes. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, in California, wants to use powerful radio telescopes to try to reach Chewbacca and his mates in a galaxy（银河系）far away. The plans will be discussed by astronomers at the weekend as some scientists fear the reply from ET might not turn out to be friendly. Institute scientist David Black said, “One question is if there are dangerous creatures we might be drawing their attention to ourselves. Another is if we go ahead, what message should be sent? There could be many civilizations out there，but if they are all listening and no one is broadcasting or responding, then nothing will happen.”Professor Stephen Hawking, who has warned that intelligent aliens probably exist and we should keep a safe distance from them, is among those. “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America which didnt turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said.Signals from Earths radio and TV broadcasts have been heading out in space for some 60 years reaching around 5,000 stars.56. What does the underlined word those in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. aliens from space B. astronomers sending signals C. scientists for the plans D. scientists against the plans57. What has Prof. Stephen Hawking warned?A. intelligent aliens would probably land in America.B. the plans will be in vain and nothing will happen.C. none of the civilizations would reply.D. aliens would bring disasters to the human race.58. Which can be the best title?A. Wikipedia, the most popular website B. Wikipedia to be beamed into spaceC. Wikipedia, aliens best friend D. Wikipedia to result in a disaster BWe observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change for I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears (ancestors) prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth Gods work must truly be our own.59. What should friends and foes know?A. That the United States is powerful.B. That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.C. That the United States is governed by liberals.D. The rights of man come from the hand of God.60. What is Kennedys promise to the world? A. To support liberty. B. To abolish all forms of human poverty.C. To visit each country at least once. D. To support and friend.61. What should citizens of the world ask of America? A. How America can help them. B. If America plans to invade their country.C. What they can do for freedom. D. What they can do for America.62. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.B. We should remember we are the first revolution.C. Our nation has always been committed to human rights.D. We should assure the survival and the success of liberty. 书面表达 (共1题，满分25分)阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 John was traveling by ship to Europe when a terrible storm came.
