"Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies,our future should be safe,"Stephen Hawking says.Stephen Hawking,one of the world's most important scientists,believes that to(41)K,humans must move into space.
Today,the United States,India,China,and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth's closest(42)C:the moon.Each country wants to create space stations there between 2020and 2030.These stations will(43)Aprepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
Robert Zubrin,a rocket scientist,thinks humans should(44)D space.He wants to start with Mars.Why?There are several advantages:for one,sending people to the moon and Mars will allow us to learn a lot-for example,whether living on other planets is possible.Then,we can eventually(45)Fnew human societies on other planets.In addition,the(46)B we make for space travel in the fields of science,technology,medicine,and health can also benefit us here on Earth.
But not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a(n)(47)I idea.Many say it's too expensive to send people,even on a short(48)J.And most space trips are not short.A one-way trip to Mars,for example,would take about six months.People travelling this kind of distance face a number of health problems.Also,for many early space(49)H,life would be extremely difficult.On the moon's surface,for example,the air and the sun's rays are very dangerous.People would have to stay indoors most of the time.
Despite these(50)E,sending people into space seems certain.In the future,we might see lunar(月球上的) cities and maybe even new human cultures on other planets.

Dogs Used to Be More Like Cats
Researchers studying fossils (化石) of the early ancestors of dogs that lived up to 40million years ago believe the predators (捕食性动物) evolved as a direct consequence of climate change.The study claims the (41)C transformed man's best friend from a creature that behaved more like a cat,into the canine (犬) we know and love today.
Ancestors of dogs living in North America 40million years ago were ambush (伏击式) predators-in a(n) (42)I way to cats'.But a million years later,the thick forest that once covered the continent began to give way to grasslands.This led to a(n) (43)G in the body shape and hunting behavior of dogs,turning them into animals that no longer (44)K their prey (猎物),but chased it down instead.
This evolutionary transition was (45)F by the scientists who examined the elbows and teeth of 32species of dogs that lived between 40million and two million years ago.

The research was based on an analysis of fossil specimens (标本) in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.It suggests dog evolution was directly related to climate change.After all,it was not (48)J to operate as a pursuit-and-pounce predator until there was room to run.
If predators evolved with climate change over the last 40million years,the authors argue they may continue to (49)E in response to the present global warming trend.In this way,the results of the study could help (50)B how animals may look in the future.

13."Get your hands off  me,I have been stolen,"the laptop,a portable computer,shouted.That is a new solution to laptop computer theft:a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
     The Program allows users to display alerts (警觉) on the missing computer's screen and even to set a spoken message.Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time,but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
     Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website,which sends a message to the model:a red and yellow"lost or stolen"sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version (版本) of the software,users can also send a spoken message.
   The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds,no matter how many times the thief closes it."One customer sent a message saying,'You are being tracked.I am right at your door."said Carrie Hafeman,chief executive of the company which produces the program,Retriever.
In the latest version,people can add a spoken message.For example,the laptop's speakers will say,"Help,this laptop is reported lost or stolen.If you are not my owner,report me now."
The Retriever software package,which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period,has the functions of many  security  software  programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
     If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop,Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use,So that the police can be alerted to its location;
    Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices,but with the use of laptops increasing,the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.

36.The expression"to give the thief a piece of their mind"(Para.2)means"B"
     A.to give the thief an alert mind
     B.to express the owners'anger to the thief
     C.to remind the thief of this conscience
     D,to make the thief give up his mind
37.Different from other security software,Retriever canD   
     A.record the stealing process
     B.help recognize the lost laptop
     C.lock down the computer remotely
     D.send a spoken message
38.One function of the program is that it allows the owner toAat a distance,
     A.change some access details for switching on the laptop
     B.turn on the laptop by using the original password
     C.operate the laptop by means of an alternative password
     D.erase the information kept in the stolen laptop
39.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?B
     A.With no Retriever,thousands of laptops are stolen every year.
     B.A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
     C.Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.
     D.A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
40.What is the author's attitude towards the programme?C
     A.Doubtful.    B.Acceptable.
     C,Positive.    D.Negative.

10.Technology today has stolen away our voices and robbed our children of memories.I've been keeping count of how often people sing around the house these days.The fact is,they don't.
My earliest memories are of my mother crooning lullabies(催眠曲) in a gentle low voice as she rocked each infant in turn.She said she"didn't have a singing voice,"but her low,wavering alto will always mean comfort to me.Every time I have sat through the night with a feverish body or held a pre-schooler through a nightmare,the melodies returned,words appearing and disappearing like fragments of a dream but held together by the hum (低声吟唱)of love.
Today,young mothers are routinely presented with lullaby tapes at the baby shower.When baby cries,the idea goes,they will be able to switch on the high-tech audio system and the little one will drift off with the voices of strangers in his ears,perfectly on pitch.If I had my way,new parents would learn the songs themselves,throw out their stereos,and give their child the gift of their own sleepy voices through the midnight hours.
These days,when we go on a trip,my daughters take along tiny personal stereos and headphones.They are lost in their private worlds,and I can't help wishing that at least here,in the car my girls would be forced to listen to their mother's voice raised in lost-the-words again,sure I'm out-of-tune songs that they might then pass down to another generation.Those sophisticated earphones have robbed them of something I think every kid should carry from childhood car trips into adulthood.
I drove away from that party humming,and all the way home the good old songs kept tumbling out.Dammit (该死),I thought,why did I ever stop singing in the car and start turning on the radio instead?Why don't I sign anymore while I'm doing the dishes?I'm going to yank those stereo wires right out of the wall when I get home.We're going to sing grace before meals,sing coals around the piano,sing in the shower instead of switching on that waterproof radio that stol away our voices and our souls.
63.The author hates today's technology becauseC.
A.driving a car requires high concentration
B.children are learning pop songs from tapes
C.children have lost touch with good old songs
D.high-tech systems do not record the voices of aged people
64.The underlined sentence"the little one will drift off"in Paragraph 3 means that"D".
A.the play of the high-tech system is of little use
B.the high-tech system will play on and on
C.the low voice will delight the baby
D.the baby will slowly go to sleep
65.To the author,the voices of strangersB.
A.are not familiar to the baby
B.lack the motherly love the baby needs
C.work better to stop the baby's cry
D.surely sound more pleasant
66.What the author wishes to make her girls do is toC.
A.help memorize the words while she is singing
B.take off their well-designed earphones
C.listen and learn the old songs from her
D.remember their childhood car trips.
