29、western Gansu Province, a spokesman said here on Saturday. The mission will accomplish the first spacewalk by Chinese astronauts. “All the major systems involved in the launching are now in the final preparation. The main tests for the spacecraft, the Long-March II-F rocket, suits for the space walk

30、 and a satellite accompanying the fly have also been finished, ” said the spokesman. In addition, the ground control system is fully prepared, including the launch site, the landing site, and the communication for observation and control. When Shenzhou-7 enters its orbit, one of the three taikonauts

31、 will conduct a spac walk, said Zhao Changxi, a senior scientist with the project, earlier. According to Zhao, cameras would be fixed outside and inside of the ship for live broadcasting of the space walk. While the last mission of Shenzhou-6, with a crew of two, was aimed at several days of manned

32、flight, this time the task might be more stringent as one of its main goals is the space walk. Earlier reports said a crew of six astronauts had been chosen for the mission, with three manning the spacecraft and three substitutes. China successfully put two manned spacecrafts into orbit in 2003 and

33、2005 respectively, becoming the third country to send an astronaut into space after the United States and the former Soviet Union(now Russia).56. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Shenzhou-7 is better equipped than the last two spaceships. B. Shenzhou-7 will be more successful than the last t

34、wo launches. C. All the systems involved in the launching have been prepared. D. China is ready for the launching of Shenzhou-7.57. We can learn from the passage _. A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk B. Three of the six astronauts chosen for the mission will w

35、alk in space C. The space walk will be live broadcasted on TV D. Everything has been prepared except communication system58. The underlined word”stringent”most probably means A. challenging B. encouraging C. interesting D. movingB You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair and not just

36、 whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications. Water makes up more than half an adult humans body weight. Our bodies break water

37、 down into its parts hydrogen and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair. But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. Different forms of a single element are called isotopes(同位素). And depending on where you live,

38、 tap water contains unique proportions(比例) of the heavier and lighter isoto- pes of hydrogen and oxygen. James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, and his colleagues collected hair from barbers and hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people

39、 drink a lot of bottled water these days, the scientists found that hair still reflected the concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in local tap water. Thats probably because people usually cook their food in the local water. Whats more, most of the other liquids we drink including milk and

40、soft drinks contain large amounts of water that also come from sources within their area. The new technique cant point to exactly where a person is from, because similar types of water appear in different areas. But authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or cr

41、ime victims and narrow their search for clues. Based on the finding, Jurian A. Hoogewerff, a chemist at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, offers this advice: “If youre a criminal, shave”59. Which of the following is central to this technique? A. water B. skin C. hair style D. drinks

42、60. According to the passage, we can infer that _. A. Ehleringer and his colleagues can exactly predict the birthplaces of criminals B. the similar forms of a single element are called isoto pes C. scientists already know how the composition of water varies throughout the countrv D. all hairs have t

43、he same concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen isoto pes61. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Water composition B. Change your hair C. Hair detectives D. No way outC Chinas government has been trying all measures to reduce pollution in the past few years. Now people can

I survived your funeral, made it through my first motherless Mothers Day and am slowly re-entering everyday life. But I need to tell you Mom, its not easy. I never thought we were terribly close. We actuall

52、y spent more time butting our Irish heads together than not. Affection was not part of our history either. The turn of your cheek as I kissed you was the sum total of our physical touch. But one thing we always could do was talk. Usually from opposite ends of the phone line, mind you, but nonetheles

53、s we talked. I called you every day. Our routines rarely varied. Id ask about your lunch. Youd review CNN news. Wed talk about your grandchildren. Occasionally, youd mention neighborhood happenings. Then Id wish you good night and say good-bye. For the last 15 years, that was our routine. In the fal

54、l of 1995, you fell ill. Time and a careless lifestyle were seeking their revenge(报应). Hospitalization was necessary. Doctors predicted the worst. “Not my mom, ” I thought. Little did they know about the strong-willed Irish woman lying in their ward bed. You survived and returned home. The daily patterns of our phone calls continued. You were unbeatable. Or so it seemed to me.
