　　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。Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observation.

　　New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.

　　Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.

　　While scientists have speculated(推测) since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede------the largest moon in our solar system------ until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn’t observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.

　　This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplished. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.

　　Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa, another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.

　　Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well.

　　28. What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage? A. It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.  B. Its ocean adds to people’s excitement about life beyond Earth.  C. It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.  D. Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft. 

　　29. Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude towards Hubble? A. Cautious             B. Doubtful                      C. Negative            D. Favourable 30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean? A. An underground ocean has been found in Europe.  B. The presence of an underground ocean in Europe is not possible.  C. It is now certain that there is an ocean ion Europe.  D. No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europe. 

　　31. What type of writing does this passage belong to? A. A term essay                       

　　B. A news report C. An experiment report               D. An exploration review.

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Napoleon, as a character inTolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having“fat little hands.” Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.” He is said to be“undersized, “ with “short legs” and a“round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts:　other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.

　　It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry:　doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war! “ he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.”

　　Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s. . . face, “ Tolstoy writes, and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently. . .” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.

　　Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own. 　

　　1. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is　.　

　　A. far from the historical facts

　　B. based on the Russian history

　　C. based on his selection of facts

　　D. not related to historical details

　　2. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because　.　

　　A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms

　　B. the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to accept

　　C. the Russians stopped his military movement

　　D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with

　　3. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?

　　A. To walk out of the room in anger.

　　B. To show agreement with him.

　　C. To say something about the Tsar.

　　D. To express his admiration.

　　4. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is　.　

　　A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests

　　B. fond of showing off his iron will

　　C. determined in destroying all of Europe

　　D. crazy for power and respect

　　5. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?

　　A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.

　　B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.

　　C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.

　　D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　ROME: The legend of Leonardo da Vinci is covered in mystery: How did he die? Are the remains buried in a French castle really those of the master? Was the "Mona Lisa" a self-portrait in disguise (伪装)?

　　A group of Italian scientists believe the key to solving those puzzles lies with the remains, and they say they are seeking permission to dig up the body to conduct carbon and DNA testing.

　　If the skull is undamaged, the scientists can go to the heart of a question that has fascinated scholars and the public for centuries: the identity of the "Mona Lisa." Recreating a virtual and then physical reconstruction of Leonardo's face, they can compare it with the smiling face in the painting.

　　"We don't know what we'll find if the tomb is opened. We could even just find grains and dust," says Giorgio Gruppioni, an anthropologist who is participating in the project. "But if the remains are well kept, they are a biological record of events in a person's life, and sometimes in their death." Silvano Vinceti, the leader of the group, said that he plans to press his case with the French officials in charge of the said burial site at Amboise Castle early next week.

　　Leonardo moved to France at the invitation of King Francis I, who named him "first painter to the king." He spent the last three years of his life there, and died in 1519 at age 67. The artist's original burial place, the palace church of Saint Florentine, was destroyed during the French Revolution and remains that are believed to be his were eventually reburied in the Saint-Hubert Chapel near the castle.

　　"The Amboise tomb is a symbolic tomb; it's a big question mark," said Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in his hometown of Vinci. Vezzosi said that investigating the tomb could help identify the artist's bones with certainty and solve other questions, such as the cause of his death. He said he asked to open the tomb in 2004 to study the remains, but the Amboise Castle turned him down.

　　The group of 100 experts involved in the project, called the National Committee for Historical and Artistic Heritage, was created in 2003 with the aim of "solving the great mysteries of the past," said Vinceti, who has written books on art and literature.

　　Arguably the world's most famous painting, the "Mona Lisa" hangs in the Louvre in Paris, where it drew some 8.5 million visitors last year. Mystery has surrounded the identity of the painting's subject for centuries, with opinions ranging from the wife of a Florentine merchant to Leonardo's own mother.

　　That Leonardo intended the "Mona Lisa" as a self-portrait in disguise is a possibility that has interested and divided scholars. Theories have existed: Some think that Leonardo's taste for tricks and riddles might have led him to hide his own identity behind that puzzling smile; others have guessed that the painting hid an androgynous lover.

　　If granted access to the grave site, the Italian experts plan to use a tiny camera and radar to confirm the presence of bones. The scientists would then exhume (挖掘) the remains and attempt to date the bones with carbon testing.

　　At the heart of the proposed study is the effort to discover whether the remains are actually Leonardo's, including with DNA testing. Ks*5u

　　Vezzosi questions the DNA comparison, saying he is unaware of any direct descendants (后代) of Leonardo or of tombs that could be attributed with certainty to the artist's close relatives.

　　Gruppioni said that DNA from the bones could also eventually be compared to DNA found elsewhere. For example, Leonardo is thought to have rubbed colors on the canvas with his thumb, possibly using saliva (唾液), meaning DNA might be found on his paintings.

　　Even in the absence of DNA testing, other tests could provide useful information, including whether the bones belonged to a man or a woman, and whether the person died young or old.

　　Even within the committee, experts are divided over the identity of the "Mona Lisa."

　　Vinceti believes that a tradition of considering the self-portrait to be not just a faithful imitation of one's features but a representation of one's spiritual identity may have resonated (共鸣) with Leonardo.

　　Vezzosi, the museum director, dismissed as "baseless and senseless" the idea that the "Mona Lisa" could be a self-portrait of Leonardo. He said most researchers believe the woman may have been either a wife of the artist's sponsor, the Florentine nobleman Giuliano de Medici, or Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich silk merchant, Francesco del Giocondo. The traditional view is that the name "Mona Lisa" comes from the silk merchant's wife, as well as its Italian name: "La Gioconda."

　　50．Why does the author ask a couple of questions in the beginning?

　　A．To arouse the interest of readers. B．To puzzle Italian scientists.

　　C．To answer the questions himself.

　　D．To make fun of French officials.

　　．The best title of this story might be “_____”.

　　A．What s the Purpose of an Investigation?

　　B．How id Leonardo da Vinci Die in France?

　　C．Are the emains Really Those of the Master?

　　D．Did Leonardo aint Himself as 'Mona Lisa'?

　　A．press the French officials to participate in their project

　　B．urge the French officials to open the tomb early next week

　　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。The earth is dying before us yet we sit and watch. If the TV or the game system breaks, we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost. Why aren’t we willing to fix our earth? Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live? Where shall we continue to live, until the end of time?

　　The earth is our home and cannot be replaced. We must take care of it. We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us. Take that game system we run to repair. What does it do? It occupies kids’ time! The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills, forests and plains, water and land. However, instead of using what the earth has given us, and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around, we decide to ruin kids’ minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours, and make them ignore their homework and chores. We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!

　　We have already messed up this world, we have ruined the air, water, and animals that it has so willingly provided for us. We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before. It will not be easy, but everybody can help! What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room? Recycling what can be recycled? Picking up litter? Donating money to an environmental organization? None of these things are very hard. We can’t just always say, “Oh, the earth is a mess. Ah, well, those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.” Instead, we need to help out. It’s not only those big companies; it’s everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth. So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!

　　32. Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1? A. To make people better aware of the urgency to the protection of the earth. B. To explore the great harm done to the earth by too much technology waste. C. To show the relationship between overuse of those things with early death.  D. To remind people to spend less on them and use the saved money in a wiser way.

　　33. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the author A. thinks we must take care of our irreplaceable home-----the earth B. thinks running around in fields occupies too much of kids’ time  C. takes an extremely negative attitude to things like game systems D. takes it for granted that technology gives kids plenty of entertainment 34. We can clearly feel that the author wrote this passage with deep_____ A. anger  B. emotion    C. sadness   D. regret 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize those big companies that ruin the earth B. To ask people to save kids from the harm done by pollution.  C. To give kids plenty of entertainment in a clean environment D. To call on people to stop ruining the earth
