| 1. Unless we spend money to spot 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 versions of the meteoroids (流星) 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 who orbits put them on a collision cour with Earth. Buy $50 million worth 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 cour. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off cour with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the conquences 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 the big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be wor than the dia. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet t against them,” said a New York Times article. （10分） | |

(2) What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? （2分） | | A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists. | | B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years. | | C.Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected. | | D.It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur. | | |
(3) What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the cours of asteroids? （2分） | | 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 money becau a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely. | | D.Further rearch should be done before it is proved applicable. | | |

2. Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of tho people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what tho doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own! When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the cond-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourlf, nothing can stop you. （10分） | |

3. Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A rearcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. The rearcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Obrvers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The rearcher then studied the videotapes to analy the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were clo to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the ca of errors was 12 meters. The rearch shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters. There also emed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per cond. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per cond. If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the rearcher argues. He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. （10分） | |

That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying. “What’s the matter?” he asked, surprid. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.” “It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.” “When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.” “I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.” In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations. “Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!” Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her. Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! It’s in Father’s newspaper! You’re first… with Gilbert… out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful!” Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak. “Well, now, I knew it,” said Matthew with a warm smile. “You’ve done well, I must say, Anne,” said Marilla, who was cretly very plead.
