阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is hea
ding towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.

On 17 July , a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the s
ea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.

Before the waves reach South America,the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, tem
peratures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.

Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientis
ts believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?

56．What is mainly described in the passage?

A．A historic discovery. B．An event of imagination.

C．A research on space. D．A scientific adventure.

57．When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes .

A．an earthquake B．damages to cities

C．an Earth explosion D．huge waves

58．Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?

A．Because the land is covered with water

B．Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.

C．Because people there can not live at th
e temp
erature of zero.

D．Because wars break out among countries .

59．By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove . [来源:学科网ZXXK]

A．animals could not live in the cold climate

B．what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

C．the human beings will die out in 2094

D．the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

B

We often think of future. We often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred years’ time.

Think of space， perhaps a permanent(永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. Perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed，permitting long journeys throughout the solar system(太阳系). When that time comes， people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. Great progress will have been made in medicine， too. Perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible

of all diseases—cancer. Pollution is a problem we must solve. In hun
dred’s years’ time it will have been controlled.

All the world will have been developed — even Antarctica. There will be large cities in Antarctica. We already have supersonic(超音速的) flight， but in a hundred years’ time we will have supersonic land travel as well.

We will have used up most of earth’s land to build our cities， so floating cities will have been built. The Japanese already have plans for cities of this kind. And there will be cities under the sea. The first of these will have been completed.

60. We will have developed ______ in a hundred years’　time， permitting long journeys all over the solar system.

A. cheap rockets for space travel B. a plane

C. a spaceship D. a satellite

61. Man will also have supersonic land travel ______.

A. in a year B. about half a century later

C. in the year 2050 D. about a century later

62. The last paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A. we’ll make good use of space on the earth

B. cities under the sea

C. Japan will first build floating cities

D. earth’s land is in danger

63. The best title for the passage is ______.

A. Travel in the Future B. Future Life

C. Where to Live in the Future D. Space Travel

C

Some people are pessimistic(悲观的) when they think about the future. They say that，a hundred years from now， we will have used most of the earth’s resources. We will have polluted our seas badly，and be unable to eat fish from them. We will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world’s population will have doubled， and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.

Other people believe that Man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. How， in their views，will people be living in a hundred years’ time？

One architect believes that Man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge， pyramid-shaped building， which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5，000 families will be living there，and the building will cont
