12、s appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.It would be possible to say, however, that in the past, scientists and artists could win patronage from rich people-a king or a lord would give the artist or scientist money to have them pa

13、int their palaces or help them develop new ways of making money. With the change in social systems across the world, this no longer happens. A lot of scientific research is now cither funded by the state or by private companies. Perhaps awards ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process

14、.However, there is more to it than that. When a film wins an Oscar, many more people will go and see it or buy the DVDWhen a writer wins the Nobel prize, many more people buy his books. When a group win the MTV awards, the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The res

15、ult? The group sell lots more records.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicising not only music but also MTV itself

16、！On the surface, it seems to be a win-win situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question-how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?1、Why are some successful people like Shakespeare mentione

19、bjective.BApproving.CDoubtful.DIndifferent.22（8分）For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sen

20、t radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire

21、 sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that fiv

22、e percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are li

23、kely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence compara

24、ble to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think

25、it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.1、According to the pass

26、age, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A5 billion B10 billion.C15 billion. D200 billion2、The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _ .Ahow scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsBwhy scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsCwhere scienti

27、sts are looking for signs of life on other planetsDwhen scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets3、The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ _ ”.Afind BimitateCcheck Dform4、Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?AThe earth is one of the ol

28、dest planets in our galaxy.BMost scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.CScientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.DScientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets.23（8分） On a recent spring morning. Susan Alexander, a re

29、tired government intelligence analyst, left her Maryland home, climbed into her Volkswagen Passat and drove about three miles to pick up two strangers. She battled rush-hour traffic on the Capital Beltway and George Washington Memorial Parkway before dropping them off at Reagan National Airport. She

30、 didnt earn a cent for her trouble, and that was the point.Alexander is a member of the Silver Spring Time Bank-one of more than 100 such exchanges around the world trying to build community by exchanging time credits for services instead of dollars and cents. “I have time,” she said. “I like giving

31、 the gift of time to other people. “In Alexanders case, passengers Mary and Al Liepold were grateful for the ride, but it wasnt charity. Mary,a retired writer and editor for nonprofit organizations, used time credits she banked for editing work and baking. Senior citizens who dont drive, the Liepold

32、s cashed in their credits to catch a flight to Montreal for a five-day vacation.Without money changing hands or shifting between virtual accounts, the airport drop-off was more like a coffee party than a taxi ride. Driver and passengers chatted about projects theyve completed for the time bank, and

33、no one raised an eyebrow when Mary said she likes “to avoid the conventional economy. “The beauty of this is that you make friends,” Mary Liepold said. “You dont just get services.”The Silver Spring Time Bank formed in 2015 and has about 300 members, said co-founder Mary Murphy. Last year, she said,

34、 l,000 hours were exchanged for basic home repairs, dog walking, cooking and tailoring, among other services, without the exchange of money. “ You get to save that money that you would have spent,” she said. “You get to meet somebody else in your community and get to know that person. Thats a bonus

35、thats part of an exchange. “A deal performed partly to make friends would seem to go against classical economics and one of Benjamin Franklins most memorable sayings:”Time is money. “ To those at the forefront of modem time-banking, that is the appeal.1、Whats the main purpose of the Silver Spring Ti

36、me Bank?ATo better serve the local economy.BTo help people get to know more friends.CTo provide the elderly with timely financial help.DTo build community by exchanging time credits for services.2、How did the Liepolds pay for their ride?AIn cash.BBy credit card.CBy cheque.DWith time credits.3、What d

37、oes the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?AMaking friends.BClassical economics.CModem time-banking.DFranklins famous saying.4、What is the suitable title for the text?ATime is moneyBThe more friends, the betterCGiving the gift of timeDSwapping time credits for services24（8分） About

38、 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “ignore pattern”, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.“Hi: my name is Helga!”We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school c

39、alled R.AK.E.(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dads health was on the decline.

40、Later her fathers physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3-hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers.When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part Ill never forget about H

41、elgas story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked al me and said, “Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day.” It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isnt

42、 normal.Kindness isnt normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. Im reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying abou

43、t our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help.So, Ive made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. Im always be on the lookout for the little opp

44、ortunities that surround me every day to do something nice.1、What impressed the author most about Helgas story?AHelgas anxiety over her fathers sudden illness.BHelga had no one to talk to on her flight lo Arizona.CHelga was ignored by people around her when she cried.DHelga couldnt get over her sadn

47、he sun. This means that if the Earth could be made a little shinier it would be less likely to suffer global warming. Ways to brighten it, such as adding nanoscale specks（纳米级） of salt to low clouds, making them whiter, or putting a thin haze of particles into the stratosphere（平流层）, are the field of

48、“geoengineering”（地球工程）. A small band of scientists which have mostly been using computer models to study the subject. Some of them are now proposing outdoor experimentsusing seawater-fed sprayers to churn out particles of the exact size needed to brighten clouds, or scattering sulphur particles（硫粒子）

49、 from underneath a large balloon 20km up in the sky.The scientists hope to understand some of the processes on which these technologies depend, as a way of both measuring their possibility (can you reliably make the proper amount of sea salt brighten clouds?) and assessing their risks (how much dama

50、ge to the ozone layer might a stratospheric haze do, and how might such damage be minimized?). The experiments would be far too small to have any climatic effects. The amount of sulphur put into the stratosphere by the experimental balloon would be 2% of what a passenger jet crossing the Atlantic em

51、its in an hour.However, many scientists doubt whether geoengineering experiments have any effects. And some environmentalists say that such experiments reflect the hubris（傲慢）of humans, who believe they can toy with nature.Geoengineering is not an alternative to relieving climate change by cutting ca

52、rbon emissions. Even if emissions do start to fall, the cuts will lake decades to have any effect so temperatures are likely to go on rising for some time. The planet is not getting cooler and the pressures on the climate are unlikely to go away. It is therefore not too hard to imagine a world, deca

53、des from now, in which emissions are falling but temperatures are rising steeply and the ability to adapt to them has been stretched too far. An additional way to stabilize temperatures might then seem appropriate. Geoengineering offers that possibility.1、The aim of the outdoor experiments in paragr

54、aph 1 is .Ato relieve the global warming Bto brighten the cloudsCto test the computer models Dto study geoengineering2、The geoengineering climate experiment would hardly take any climate effect because .Ascientists arent sure whether sea salt can brighten cloudsBgeoengineering would minimize the dam

55、age to the ozone layerCthe amount of sulphur emitted by a balloon is very smallDa passenger jet emits much more sulphur than a balloon does3、Even if carbon emission is reduced right away, .Aglobal warming will be relieved Bclimatic pressure will be removedCthe temperature will remain stable Dglobal

My elder brother Steve, in the 1 of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in 2 that helped me grow into an adult. Once when I returned 3 from a baseball game, it

58、 was Steve 4 took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had 5 through Mrs. Holts basement window, breaking the glass, Steve encouraged me to 6 to her. After all, I should have played in the park and not in the path 7 buildings. Although my 8 trembled as I stood explaini

59、ng, I offered to 9 the window if she would return my ball. I also learned that personal property is a 10 thing.After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom. I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else 11 the fact that it had little value. He re

60、minded me of how much Id hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father 12 from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, and 13 remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the 14 Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most 15 in my mind.A
