isnt science fiction. its a glimpse of the future, according to famous british scientist stephen hawking. “i see great dangers for the human race，” he said in an interview with global forum big think. “there have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go.”“i believe that the longterm future of the human race must be in space，” he said.“ it will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.” hawking, who was awarded the presidential medal of freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on earth. “if aliens visited us, the outcome would be as much as when columbus landed in america, which didnt turn out well for the native americans，” he said. “such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧民), looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.” but hawking says hes still hopeful for the future of humanity. he told big think, “weve made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. but if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.” getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. katherine freese from university of michigan told big think, “ the nearest star to earth is proxima centauri which is 4.2 light years away. that means, if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4.2 years to get there or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”1humans are advised to abandon earth mainly because _.aaliens will take up our home planet soonbit was discussed in the forum big thinkcmany scientists like hawking are concerned about itdmany disasters will happen on earth2thinking about the future of humans, hawking feels that _.ahumans cant live on earth any longerbearth will not be habitable for humanscother planets are ready for humans to reachdaliens are the biggest future threat to humans3what is the writers key point in the last paragraph?ait is impossible to get to another planet in space.bit is urgent for hawking to develop the space science.cthe near

forum reportb(2014江苏常州市水平检测)beautiful people are indeed happier, a new study says, but not always for the same reasons. for handsome men, the extra kicks are more likely to come from economic benefits, like increased wages, while women are more likely to find joy just looking in the mirror. “women feel that beauty is naturally important，” says daniel hamermesh, a university of texas at austin labor economist and the studys lead author. “they just feel bad if theyre ugly.”hamermesh is the acknowledged father of pulchronomics, or the economic study of beauty. it can be a dangerous job. he once made angry an audience of young mormon (魔门教) women, many of whom wished to stay home with future children, by explaining that homemakers tend to be less attractive than their workinggirl peers (同伴). “since beautiful women tend to be paid more, they have more motivation to stay in the workforce，” he says.the pursuit of good looks drives several huge industries in 2010, americans spent $845 million on facelifts alone but few economists focused on beautys financial power until the mid1990s, when hamermesh and his colleague, jeff biddle of michigan state university, became the first scholars to track the effect of appearance on earnings potential for a large sample (样本) of adults. like many other desirable commodities (商品), “beauty is rare，” hamermesh says, “and that rareness commands a price.”a handsome man is estimated to make 13 percent more during his career than a “lookschallenged” peer, according to calculations in hamermeshs recent book, beauty pays. interestingly, the net benefit is slightly less for pretty women, who may make up the difference by trading on their looks to marry men with higher earning potential. and some studies have shown that attractive people are more likely to be hired in a recession (经济衰退)hamermesh argues that “theres not much we can do to improve our pulchritude (美丽)”. there are even studies suggesting that for every dollar spent on cosmetic products (化妆品), only 4 cents returns as salary making lipstick a truly awful investment. _.one 2006 study showed that the less beautiful may actually profit from their lack of looks. people tend to expect less from the unattractive, so when they go beyond those low expectations they are rewarded. and the beautiful ones are often primarily held to a higher standard “then hit with a beauty penalty if they fail to deliver.” hamermesh says.5what is the best title of this passage?ahow much does being attractive cost?bhow much is being attractive worth?chow can we make use of our beauty?dhow happy do attractive people feel?6which of the following is right according to the passage?ahandsome men are happier because they can make profits from their pulchritude.bhousewives are usually less beautiful and thus less motivated than their working peers.cbeautys financial power has long been noticed historically as a most desirable commodity.dbeautiful women usually make more as they can trade their looks to wealthy and handsome men.7what is the topic sentence of the last paragraph?abut inborn beauty isnt always profitable.bbut people always desire to be more beautiful.cbut inborn beauties dont need to improve themselves.dbut being more attractive deserves great efforts.8which one of the following words of hamermeshs can best explain the fact that attractive people are more likely to be hired in a recession?a“women feel that beauty is naturally important.”b“beauty is rare, and that rareness commands a price.”c“theres not much we can do to improve our pulchritude.”d“. then hit with a beauty penalty if they fail to deliver.”tomorrows world单元检测(b卷自主选做).完形填空(2014苏州高三检测)one day i was doing a big cleanup when i _1_ a knotted handkerchief with an old

according to the world health organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.it is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. for example, it took france 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. it is estimated to take china a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.what are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? one of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. in some african countries, certainly in asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. as society changes, attitudes will change.much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a countrys development.social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.to achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. one thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.1the proportion of older people _.ais bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesbis oneseventh of the population in developing countriescwill increase much faster in china than in francedwill be sixty percent in developing countries by 20202according to the passage, which of the following are

generations4which of the following measures is not mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?agetting rid of age discrimination in employment.bensuring adequate income protection for older people.cproviding free health care for sick older people.dsupplying lifelong learning programs to older people.5the author concludes in the last paragraph that _.agovernments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem bpopulation ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlycpeople are too busy to solve the population ageing problemdmuch time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem.任务型阅读(2014泰州高三模拟)job stress hits studentsas the jobhunting season kicks off, many graduates are suffering from anxiety. job interview results are becoming the most common conversation topic in dormitories. worried about not getting satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or lose their appetite. some might even display symptoms of depression.according to a survey across several universities in wuhan conducted by wuhan yangtze business university, over 72 percent of student participants were worried about finding a job. students in the first one or two years were also uneasy about their job prospects, which contributed to spreading anxiety further.lang lei, 22, a business major from renmin university in beijing, admitted having mood swings when job hunting. the student hoped to get positions with large stateowned enterprises in his hometown of yantai, shandong. but when it turned out that things wouldnt be so easy, lang became concerned. after some struggling moments, he has now changed to more realistic goals.others feel tortured (受折磨) while waiting for interview results. mo tong, a senior software engineering major at south china normal university, would fall into a nervous state every time after he attended a job interview.“for a day or two i couldnt help but keep thinking about how i performed in front of the interviewers, how well i dealt with their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end，” mo was unable to focus on other things as his anxiety grew.media reports about rising unemployment rates and a difficult job market have touched students nerves.“im alarmed by articles saying how bachelors degree holders are losing ground，” said wang hongjuan, a sophomore english major from putian university in fujian province. “it suggests to me that good jobs are only available to graduate or doctoral students.”as wang has no plans to further her education, she has to commit herself to all sorts of extracurricular activities to improve her prospects. this throws her into a packed schedule.wen fang, a wellknown education psychology expert and consultant in beijing, advises students not to be misled by depressing surveys and reports about the job market. “unemployment rates are not linked to an individuals chances of getting a job，” he said. “an individuals chances are actually
