A
Unless
we
spend
mon
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey
to
spot(认出,发现)
and
prevent
asteroids(小行星)
now,
one
might
crash
into
Earth
and
destroy
life
as
we
know
it,
say
some
scientists.
Asteroids
are
bigger
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )versions
of
the
meteoroids(流星体)
that
race
across
the
night
sky.
Most
orbit
the
sun
far
from
Earth
and
don’t
threaten
us.
But
there
are
also
thousands
of
asteroids
whose
orbits
put
them
on
a
collision
course
with
Earth.
But
$500
million
wort
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h
of
new
telescopes
right
now,
then
spend
$10
million
a
year
for
the
next
25
years
to
locate
most
of
the
space
rocks.
By
the
time
we
spot
a
fatal
one,
the
scientists
say,
we’ll
have
a
way
to
change
its
course.
Is
it
worth
i
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t
Two
things
experts
consider
when
judging
any
risk
are
(i)
How
likely
the
event
is;
(2)
How
bad
the
consequences
if
the
event
occurs.
Experts
think
an
asteroid
big
enough
to
destroy
lots
of
life
might
strike
Earth
once
every
500,000
years.
Sounds
pretty
rare
but
if
one
did
fall.
It
would
be
the
end
of
the
world.
“If
we
don’t
take
care
of
these
bid
asteroids,
they’ll
take
care
of
us,”
says
one
scientist.
“it’s
that
simple.”
The
cure,
though,
m
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight
be
worse
than
the
disease.
Do
we
really
want
fleets(舰队,车队)
of
nuclear
weapons
sitting
around
on
Earth
“the
world
has
less
fear
from
doomsday(毁灭性)
rocks
than
from
a
great
nuclear
fleet
set
against
them.”
Said
a
New
York
Times
article.
What
does
the
passage
say
about
asteroids
and
meteoroids
A.
They
are
heavenly
bodies
different
in
composition.
B.
They
are
heavenly
bodies
similar
in
nature.
C.
They
are
more
asteroids
than
meteoroids.
D.
Asteroids
are
more
mysterious
than
meteoroids.
What
do
scientists
say
about
the
collision
of
an
asteroid
with
Earth
A.
It
is
very
unlikely
but
the
danger
exists.
B.
Such
a
collision
might
occur
once
every
25
years.
C.
Collisions
of
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )smaller
asteroids
with
Earth
occur
more
often
than
expected.
D.
It’s
still
too
early
to
say
whether
such
a
collision
might
occur.
What
do
people
th
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ink
of
the
suggestion
of
using
nuclear
weapons
to
alter
the
course
of
asteroids
A.
It
sounds
practical
but
it
may
not
solve
the
problem.
B.
It
may
create
more
problems
than
it
might
solve.
C.
It
is
a
waste
of
mo
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ney
because
a
collision
of
asteroids
with
Earth
is
very
unlikely.
D.
Further
research
should
be
done
before
it
is
proved
applicable.
We
can
conclude
from
the
passage
that
__
A.
While
push
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing
asteroids
off
course
nuclear
weapons
would
destroy
the
world.
B.
Asteroids
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
racing
across
the
night
sky
are
likely
to
hit
Earth
in
the
near
future.
C.
The
worry
about
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asteroids
can
be
left
to
future
generations
since
it
is
unlikely
to
happen
in
our
lifetime.
D.
Workable
solutio
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns
still
have
to
be
found
to
prevent
a
collision
of
asteroids
with
Earth.

Which
of
the
following
best
describes
the
author’s
tone
in
this
passage
A.
Optimistic(乐观的
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ))
B.Critical(批评的)
C.
Objective(客观的)
D.
Arbitrary(武断的)
B
The
law
says
that
w
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omen
should
have
the
chance
of
doing
the
same
jobs
as
men
and
earn
the
same
as
them.
The
reality
is
ver
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y
different.
Women
lose
because,
25
years
after
the
Equal
Pay
Act,
many
of
them
still
get
paid
less
than
men.
They
lose
because
t
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey
do
lower-paid
jobs
which
men
just
won’t
consider.
And
they
lose
they
are
the
ones
who
interrupt
a
career
to
have
children.
All
this
is
rep
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orted
in
an
independent
study
ordered
by
the
Government’s
women’s
unite.
The
biggest
problem
isn’t
equal
pay
in
work
places
such
as
factories.
It
is
a
sort
of
work
women
do.
Make
a
list
of
low-paid
of
jobs_
then
consider
who
does
them.
Try
nurses,
secreta
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ries,
cleaner,
clerks,
teachers
in
primary
schools,
dinner
ladies,
and
child
care
helpers.
Not
a
lot
of
men
among
that
group,
are
there
Yet
some
of
those
job
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s
are
really
important.
Surely
no
one
would
deny
that
about
nurses
and
teachers,
for
a
start.
So
why
do
we
r
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eward
the
people
who
do
them
so
poorly
There
can
be
only
one
answer---
because
they
are
women.
This
is
not
going
t
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o
be
put
right
overnight.
But
the
Government,
which
employs
a
lot
of
them,,
and
other
bosses
have
to
make
a
start.
It
is
disgraceful(可
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )耻的)
that
we
have
gone
into
the
21st
Century
still
treating
women
like
second-class
citizens.
Women
should
have
the
chance
of
doing
the
same
jobs
and
be
paid
equally
as
men
____.
A.
after
25
years
B.
according
to
the
law
C.
as
a
result
of
the
Equal
Pay
Act
D.
because
women
are
as
strong
as
men
We
can
learn
from
the
text
what
the
problem
really
matters
is
____.
A.
that
the
women
interrupt
a
career
to
have
children
B.
what
sort
of
work
women
do
C.
because
they
are
women
D.
what
an
unfair
pay
women
get
in
workplaces.
Which
of
the
following
best
describes
the
writer’s
idea
A.
Women
should
get
equal
pay
for
equal
work
to
that
of
men.
B.
Women
should
strengthen加强
themselves.
C.
The
Government
ou
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght
to
protect
women
against
getting
paid
less
than
men.
D.
Some
of
the
jobs
th
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at
women
do
are
of
great
importance.
When
the
writer
sa
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys
“This
is
not
going
to
be
put
right
overnight”,
he
means
____.
A.
we
must
solve
the
problem
very
quickly.
B.
there
is
not
completely
fair
thing
all
over
the
world.
C.
we
need
a
long
time
to
change
the
unfair
reality.
D.
the
problem
that
women
lose
will
be
solved
soon.
Which
do
you
think
would
be
the
best
title
for
this
passage
A.
Work
to
give
women
a
fair
pay
deal.
B.
Time
to
change
the
situation.
C.
Equal
work,
equal
pay.
D.
Should
women
be
treated
like
second-class
citizens
C.
There
have
never
be
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en
many
adventurers.
You
van
read
stories
about
men
called
adventures.
But
they
were
really
businessmen.
There
was
something
they
wanted-----
a
lady,
or
money,
or
a
country,
or
honor.
And
so
they
got
it.
But
a
true
adventure
is
different.
He
starts
without
any
special
purpose.
He
is
ready
for
anything
he
may
meet.
There
have
been
m
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any
half-adventurers.
And
they
were
great
men.
History
is
rich
with
their
stories.
But
each
of
them
had
a
special
purpose.
They
were
not
followers
of
true
adventure.
In
the
big
city
o
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f
New
York,
Romance
and
Adventure
are
always
waiting.
As
we
walk
along
the
street,
they
are
watching
us.
We
look
up
suddenly
and
see
a
face
in
a
window.
The
face
seems
to
interest
us
strangely.
Or
in
a
quiet
street,
we
hear
a
cry
of
fear
and
pain
coming
from
a
house
where
no
one
lives.
A
car
takes
us
to
a
strange
door,
instead
of
to
our
own.
The
door
opens
and
we
are
asked
to
enter.
At
every
corner,
eyes
look
toward
us,
or
hands
are
raised,
or
fingers
point.
Adventure
is
offered.
But
few
of
us
are
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ready
to
accept.
We
are
ready
to
do
only
the
things
we
do
every
day.
We
wish
to
do
only
the
things
that
everyone
else
does.
We
move
on;
and
some
day
we
come
to
the
end
of
a
long
quiet
life.
Then
we
begin
to
think.
Then,
when
it
is
too
late,
we
are
sorry
that
we
have
never
known
true
Romance
and
Adventure.
In
the
author’s
opinion,
there
are
____
true
adventures.
many
B.
few
C.
no
D.
a
few
In
what
way
does
th
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e
author
say
a
true
adventure
is
different
from
a
business
man
He
is
ready
for
anything
he
may
meet.
B.
He
is
not
interested
in
money.
C.
He
enjoys
excitement
while
a
business
man
does
not.
D.
A
true
adventure
is
romantic,
while
a
businessman
is
dull.
According
to
t
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he
passage,
a
cry
of
fear
and
pain
coming
from
a
house
where
no
one
lives
in
a
quiet
street
means____.
A.
a
number
B.
a
fight
C.
wealth
D.
adventure
The
passage
d
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oesn’t
mention
it,
but
we
can
infer
from
the
passage
that
when
most
people
meet
an
offer
of
adventure,
they
will
____.
A.
grow
angry
but
curious
B.
accept
the
offer
C.
grow
embarrassed
and
reject
the
offer
D.
be
frightened
and
cry
for
help.
When
do
most
people
wish
that
they
had
known
romance
and
adventure
A.
When
they
are
young.
B.
When
it
involves
a
beautiful
lady
or
handsome
man.
C.
When
something
interests
them
strangely.
D.
When
they
reach
the
end
of
a
long
quiet
life.
D.
Around
the
world
more
and
more
people
are
taking
part
in
dangerous
sports
and
activities.
Of
course,
there
have
always
been
people
who
have
looked
for
adventures
----those
who
have
climbed
the
highest
mountains,
traveled
into
unknown
parts
of
the
world
or
sailed
in
small
boats
across
the
greatest
oceans.
Now,
however,
there
are
people
who
look
for
an
immediate
excitement
from
a
risky
activity
which
may
only
last
a
few
minutes
or
even
seconds.
I
would
consider
b
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ungee
jumping
to
be
a
good
example
of
such
an
activity.
You
jump
from
a
high
place
(perhaps
a
bridge
or
a
hot-air
balloon)
200
metres
above
the
ground
with
an
elastic
(有弹性的)
rope
tied
to
your
ankles.
You
fall
at
up
to
150
kilometres
an
hour
until
the
rope
stops
you
from
hitting
the
ground.
It
is
said
that
about
2
million
people
around
the
world
have
now
tried
bungee
jumping.
Other
activities
which
most
people
would
say
are
as
risky
as
bungee
jumping
include
jumping
from
tall
building
and
diving
into
the
sea
from
the
top
of
high
cliff.(悬崖)
Why
do
people
take
par
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t
in
such
activities
as
these
Some
psychologists
suggest
that
it
is
because
life
in
modern
societies
has
become
safe
and
boring.
Not
very
long
ago,
diseases
could
not
easily
be
cured,
and
life
was
a
continuous
battle
for
survival.(生存).
Nowadays,
according
to
many
people,
life
offers
little
excitement.
They
live
and
work
in
comparatively
safe
conditions;
they
buy
food
in
shops;
and
there
are
doctors
and
hospitals
to
look
after
them
if
they
become
ill.
The
answer
for
some
of
these
people
is
to
look
for
danger
in
activities
such
as
bungee
jumping.

Almost
every
child
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in
cities
has
the
chance
to
go
to
school,
but
not
all
children
in
the
countryside
are
so
lucky.
There
is
a
girl
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )called
Xiao
Juan.
She
is
ten
years
old
and
lives
in
a
small
village.
When
she
was
seven,
she
wanted
to
go
to
school.
But
she
could
not,
because
her
family
was
too
poor
to
afford
the
2school
fees
for
her,
so
her
parents
had
to
keep
her
at
home.
Instead
of
studying,
Xiao
Juan
looked
after
her
brother
and
worked
in
the
fields
every
day.
Then
Hope
Project
heard
about
Xiao
Juan.
It
agreed
to
help
Xiao
Juan
to
go
to
school.
Her
wish
of
study
came
true,
and
now
she
is
studying
in
a
school.
Unluckily,
ther
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e
are
many
thousands
of
children
who
can
not
go
to
school.
You
can
join
in
Hope
Project
and
help
these
children.
You
know
all
the
good
work
needs
money.
Hope
Project
needs
your
help.
4If
you
give
Hope
P
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roject
¥300
each
year,
it
can
pay
for
one
child
to
go
school
for
a
whole
year.
With
more
money,
Hope
Project
can
build
new
schools;
buy
good
desks,
chairs,
blackboards
and
books.
Let’s
help
the
children
together
and
give
them
a
chance
to
have
a
good
start
in
life.

Dear
Alice,
As
a
teenager,
I
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )met
the
same
problem
as
you.
But
now
I
can
get
along
better
with
my
mother.
Here
are
some
ideas
for
you.
Your
mother
talks
much,
because
she
cares
about
you.
Maybe
it's
not
a
good
way,
but
it
shows
your
mother's
love.
So
I
think
you
should
listen
to
her.
If
your
opinions
are
different
from
your
mother's,
you
can
communicate
with
her,
and
tell
her
what
you
are
thinking
about.
If
your
mother
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
doesn't
take
your
advice,
just
keep
silent
and
give
her
a
smile.
I
hope
what
I
say
here
can
help
you
a
lot.
Han
Mei
