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 sent 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（扫视）the entire 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（银河星系）, scientists find that five 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（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）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 comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t 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 it is likely that civilization（文明）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.
63．According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable
A. 5 billion． B. 10 billion. C. 15 billion. D. 200 billion
64．The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ are looking for signs of life on other planets.
A. how scientists B. why scientists C. where scientists D. when scientists
65．The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.
A. find B. follow C. check D. form
66．Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage
A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
D. Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various , ages.
A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
67．It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
A. has made people feel younger B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age D. has slowed down the country’s social development
68．The underlined word “one” refers to ____ . A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
69．“Act your age” means people should ________ .
A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
70．If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ____ . A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable
E
The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment （预担的义务）, self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
71．According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .
A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
72．Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .
A. a moral duty B. a thankless job C. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain
73．From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .
A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudice D. ignorance
74．To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .
A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
75．What is the author trying to tell us
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain． B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. It is important to make commitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness.

71．A 提示：本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一严肃话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误解。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1行“Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment”（……害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。
72．C 提示：依据文章第4段第1句“带有婴儿的父母要是能睡上一整晚觉或度一个三天的假日，那真是太幸运了。在我认识的人中，不会有人用fun（好玩）来描述他们抚养孩子的感受”，似乎会认为作者的意图是B项（出力不讨好，毫无回报的事）或D项（不可避免的痛苦来源）。实际上，作者真实想法应在第2句中体现：但是决定不生孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣、那种欣喜。这种乐趣、欣喜实际就是一种回报。所以选项C正确。
73．B 提示：依据文章最后一句“And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.”说明：我们现在的这种理解就可免除嫉妨，那么反过来，嫉妨产生于我们的理解不当，即misunderstanding，故选项B正确。
74．D 提示：依据文章第1段第1句“The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness”（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句“…all those who are always having so much fun actually may
not be happy at all”（……生活中总是有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下都忍受痛苦。
75．A 提示：作者的意图出现在第1段最后一句：“But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain”（……事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A

Dear Tom
It is great to receive your email．Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing - up ceremony for our coming 18 - year - old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown - ups we should have a sense of duty for our society from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember the day in my life.
Yours ,

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 sent 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（扫视）the entire 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（银河星系）, scientists find that five 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（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）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 comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t 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 it is likely that civilization（文明）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.
63．According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable
A. 5 billion． B. 10 billion. C. 15 billion. D. 200 billion
64．The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ are looking for signs of life on other planets.
A. how scientists B. why scientists C. where scientists D. when scientists
65．The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.
A. find B. follow C. check D. form
66．Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage
A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.
D. Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various , ages.
A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
67．It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .
A. has made people feel younger B. has changed people’s social position
C. has changed people’s understanding of age D. has slowed down the country’s social development
68．The underlined word “one” refers to ____ . A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
69．“Act your age” means people should ________ .
A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
70．If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ____ . A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable
E
The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment （预担的义务）, self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
71．According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .
A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
72．Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .
A. a moral duty B. a thankless job C. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain
73．From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .
A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudice D. ignorance
74．To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .
A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
75．What is the author trying to tell us
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain． B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. It is important to make commitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness.

62．D 提示：题干考查有多少种药物适合6岁儿童服用，根据药品说明书1）中的“For Children six to twelve years old，go to your doctor for advice”2）中的“Not for children under six years old and old persons with heart attack”3）中的“Half for Children under 12 years old．Children with a high fever，go to see a doctor．”可知答案为D。
63．A 提示：由第三段可知：．
64．A 提示：第一段讲的都是科学家所用的各种方法，所以为“how”．
65．C 提示：由上句可知此处为使用电脑监视，检查。
66．C 提示：由第一段可知科学家用了各种各样的方法。
67．C 提示：短文将美国社会拟人化，把age和gray这两个常用作名词的词当做动词用时，比喻美国社会人口的老龄化，并说明了人口老龄化给整个社会，特别是给人们对年龄问题的理解带来的变化。
68．A 提示：one用以代替上文中所提到过的一个名词a （different）society，是泛指的用法，并不特指美国社会。
69．B 提示：“Act your age”就是第一段最后一句话中所提到的idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages．在不同的年龄什么样的行为是合适的。
70．A 提示：此题为一主观题，要求考生判断作者态度。第二段的最后两句话和最后一段的最后一句都反映了作者的态度，“It doesn’t surprise us to hear of…”和“We’ve stopped looking with surprise at…”。由于人们对年龄问题的观点的变化，25岁的年轻人成为一家大公司的总经理已不再令人惊讶。
71．A 提示：本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一严肃话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误解。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1行“Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment”（……害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。
72．C 提示：依据文章第4段第1句“带有婴儿的父母要是能睡上一整晚觉或度一个三天的假日，那真是太幸运了。在我认识的人中，不会有人用fun（好玩）来描述他们抚养孩子的感受”，似乎会认为作者的意图是B项（出力不讨好，毫无回报的事）或D项（不可避免的痛苦来源）。实际上，作者真实想法应在第2句中体现：但是决定不生孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣、那种欣喜。这种乐趣、欣喜实际就是一种回报。所以选项C正确。
73．B 提示：依据文章最后一句“And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.”说明：我们现在的这种理解就可免除嫉妨，那么反过来，嫉妨产生于我们的理解不当，即misunderstanding，故选项B正确。
74．D 提示：依据文章第1段第1句“The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness”（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句“…all those who are always having so much fun actually may
not be happy at all”（……生活中总是有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下都忍受痛苦。
75．A 提示：作者的意图出现在第1段最后一句：“But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain”（……事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A
书面表达
Dear Tom
It is great to receive your email．Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing - up ceremony for our coming 18 - year - old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown - ups we should have a sense of duty for our society from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember the day in my life.
Yours ,
Li Hua
