Will We Take Vacation in Spaces？

When Mike Kelly first set out to build his own private space，ferry service， he figured his bread-and-butter business would be lofting Satellites into high-Earth orbit. Now he thinks he may have figured wrong. "People were always asking me when they could go，" says Kelly， who runs Kelly Space Technology out of San Bernardino， California. "I realized that real market is in space tourism. "

According to preliminary market surveys， there are 10，000 would-be-space-tourists willing to s， pend $ 1 million each to visit the final frontier. Space Adventure in Arlington， Virginia， has taken more than 130 deposits for a two-hour， $ 98，000 space tour tentatively （and somewhat du biously） set to occur by 2005. Gene Meyers of the Space Island Group says: "Space is the next exotiC．vacation spot. "

This may all sound great， but there are a few hurdles. Putting a simple satellite into orbit with no oxygen， life support or return trip necessary already costs an astronomical $ 22，000/kg. And that doesn"t include the cost of .insuring rich and possibly litigious passenger. John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists acerbieally suggests that the entire group of entrepreneurs trying to corner the space tourism market have between them "just enough money to blow up one rock et. " The U.S. space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in making space less expensive for the little guys. So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that"s inexpensive， safe and reliable. Kelly Spaee"s prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines. Rotary Rocket in Redwood City， California， has a booster with rotors make a helicopter-style. return.to Earth; Kistler Aerospace in Kirkland， Wash ington， is piecing together its versions from old Soviet engines， shuttle-style. thermal protection tiles and an" elaborate parachute system. The first passenger countdowns are still years away， but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington are already informally discussing fligh.t regulations. After all， you can"t be too prepared for a trip to that galaxy far， far away.are plotting to build space hotels. Before the Russian space Mir came down， some people were talking about using it as a low-rent space hotel to reduce the cost. If a space hotel is finally built in space， and if you"re thinking of staying in it， you may want to check the Michelin ratings before booking your- self a suite.

Mike Kelly planned to turn his business of making bread and butter into a business that is engaged in space tourism. 查看材料

根据下面材料，回答题。

The Need to Remember

Some people say they have no memory at all: "I just can&39;t remember a thing!" But of course,we all have a memory. Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.

In fact, we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.

Our verbal (言语的) memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard butnot seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, or a recipe.

With our emotional memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings,perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements.

We have two ways of storing any of these memories: Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds- enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance (记忆) of when they were very young.

Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past, and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past-- or maybe victims needing sympathy (同情).

Visual memory helps us recall a place we have been to. 查看材料

根据以下材料，回答题。What We Take From and Give to the SeaAs long as we have been on earth，

根据以下材料，回答题。

What We Take From and Give to the Sea

As long as we have been on earth， we have used the sea around us. We take things from the ocean， and we give to it.

We take fishes from the ocean——millions of kilograms of fish， every year， to feed millions of people. （46） We take minerals from the ocean. One way to get salt is to place seawater in a shallow basin and leave it until it evaporates. （47） Much gold and silver drift dissolved in the waters of the sea， too. But the sea does not give them up by simple evaporation.

Other gifts from the sea are pearls， sponges and seaweed. Pearls become jewelry. （48）Seaweed becomes food of many kinds——even candy， and ice cream——as well as medicine. Believe it or not， fresh water is another gift from the sea. We cannot drink ocean water. （49）But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts are removed. In the future， we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.

The sea gives us food， fertilizer， minerals， water， and other gifts. What do we give the sea？ Garbage. （50） Huge as it is， the ocean cannot hold all the water we pour into it Dumping garbage into the ocean is killing off sea life. Yet as the world population grows， we may

need the sea and its gifts more than ever.

We are finally learning that if we destroy our sea， we might also destroy ourselves. Hopefully， it is not too late.

Racial Prejudice

In some countries where racial prejudice is acute， violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences， and this is not even questioned. There are countries 51_________ the white man imposes his rule by brute （粗暴的） force， there are countries where the black man protests by 52_________ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging （抢劫）. Important people on both sides， who would appear to be reasonable men， get up and calmly argue in 53_________ of violence as if it were a legitimate （合法的） solution，54_________ any other. What is really frightening， what really 55_________ you with despair， is the realization that when it comes to the crunch（关键时刻）， we have made no actual 56_________ at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint， but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded 57_________ of the human race， that tedious documentation of violence， has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that 58_________ never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror， the blood and the suffering. 59_________ nothing.

No solution ever comes to 60_________ the morning after when we dismally （阴郁地） contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

The truly reasonable men who 61_________ where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised， mistrusted and even persecuted 62_________ their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into 63_________ acts were put to good use， if our efforts were directed at 64_________ up the slums and ghettos （贫民窟）， improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all，we would not have gone a long way to 65_________ at a solution.

根据材料，回答题。

The Cold Places

The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.

Like Antarctica， the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading——125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero~ Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in both the Arctic and Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.

One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature——the killing chili of far North and the polar South.

To survive， men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not ever for a moment can they be unprotected "against the below-zero temperatures.

Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coatsand furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.

What albout animals？ Can they survive？ Do we find plants？ Do we find life in the Arctic andin Antarctica？ Yes， we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.

Antarctica， as we have seen， is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case.

Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have much like our own.

Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.

The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded in Antarctica. 查看材料

根据以下材料，回答题。

Some Things We Know About Language

Many things about language are a mystery， and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.

First， we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language， no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore， in historical times， there has never been a race of men without a language.

Second， there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped， who are， as we say， uncivilized， but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood; indeed， the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are， or were， hundreds of American Indian languages， and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with， but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is，each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally， we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change ; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds， and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

In the second paragraph the passage tells us that 查看材料

A.some backward race doesn"t have a language of its own

B.some race in history didn"t possess a language of its own

C.any human race， whether backward or not， has a language

D.some races on earth can communicate without language

根据以下材料，回答题。

Science and Technology

There is a difference between science and technology. （46）Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools，techniques.and procedures for applying the findings of science.. （47）

Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists，who seek to understand the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty，cannot pay attention to their own or other peoples likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.. （48）But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful;besides，we have the choice of refusing to believe it!But hardly so with technology;we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sound produced by a supersonic（超音速的）aircraK flying overhead;we cannot refuse to breathe polluted air.. （49）The purpose of technology is to serve people——people in general，not merely some people;and future generations，not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. （50）Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution，resource depletion（枯竭）and even social decay in general——so much SO that the promise of technology is“obscured”.That promise is a cleaner and healthier world.If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world，what else will？

根据以下材料，回答题。

A Letter from Alan-

I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson"s Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me， Parson"s Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax——the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It"s very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neigh bour hood.

I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work？ The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. There fore these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.

The roads will always be full of traffic， there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes，the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But，in my opinion， the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this， we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this. plan before it is too late.

Why has Alan written this letter？ 查看材料

A.To persuade the government to build new houses.

B.To protest about a new motorway near the town.

C.To encourage more people in the town to use Parson"s Place.

D.，To inform. other people about the builders" plans.
