25、joy ” , which she said never made sense to her. But after studying a series of incongruous（不和t皆的 ）expressions, she now understands better why people cry when they are happy.

34、 trees, videos or actual DNA in the form of human hair. Not everyone can have a digital memory box, though.

35、just a few days ago. The founders thought that it would succeed because of the attraction of both exploring the moon surface and leaving a time capsule behind.

36、Earth reached somewhere else in space.Still, it does seem risky（ 冒险的）for a person to donate 6 60 to keep a digital memory box for a project that won t come true until 2024. What if the project never takes off? What if the technology isn t good enough? What if those digital memory boxes break on the

41、e concluded from the last sentence of the passage?Everything about the project will be OK.The time capsule on the moon is not meaningful.The plan to leave a time capsule on the moon is scientific.The message of the project is to call people s more attention to space.第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选
