Ⅱ阅读(共两节，满分50分)

第一节　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

A

If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories; the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering.In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体)．They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

26．What is the best title for the text?

A.The Best Way to Get News

B．The Changes of Media

C.Make Your Own Newspaper

D．The Future of Newspapers

27．In the writer's opinion, in the future, ________.

A.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

B.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

C.newspapers will cover more scientific research

D.more and more people will watch TV

28．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by you?

A.Sports and international news.

B．A menu of important news.

C.The most important news.

D．What you are interested in.

29．From the text, we can infer that ________.

A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media

B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media

C．television will take the place of newspapers

D．some media will die out

30．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.

A.depend on B．compete with

C．fight with D．kill of

B

Why should mankind explore space？Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and resear-ching something with so few apparent benefits？Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With know-ledge, we can lessen its effects.

Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space.

While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers.The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

31．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?

A.To express his doubts.

B．To compare different ideas.

C.To introduce points for discussion.

D．To describe the conditions on Earth.

32．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?

A.Humans are nature-born to do so.

B.Humans have the tendency to fight.

C.Humans may find new sources of food.

D.Humans don't like to stay in the same place.

33．The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 pro-bably refers to ________.

A.survival chances

B．unexpected benefits

C.potential resources

D.physical possessions

34．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?

A.The adaptive ability of humans.

B.Resources on the earth.

C.Our genetic makeup.

D.By-products in space exploration.

35．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

A.Space exploration has created many wonders.

B.Space exploration provided the best value for mo-ney.

C.Space exploration can benefit science and technology.

D.Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

C

The word “conservation” has a thrifty (节俭) meaning.To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition so that others may also share the enjoyment.Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very
