25、p. It is true that the average temperature r 1 is only about two degrees, but that has been e 2 to start the glaciers 3 (recede) in many parts of the world.

26、 the temperature of the Earth is determined 6 the amount of solar heat which the atmosphere can keep.

Now you can take a space holidayfor a price. This is due to
29、 a recent decision by top space officials of the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency. Last April, American businessman Dennis Tito reportedly paid between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars to spend one week on the International Space Station. NASA had strongly
30、objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations, space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station. NASA recently agreed to conditions that will permit Russia to sell t
31、rips to the space station. The trips are planned by an American company called Space Adventures Limited of Arlington, Virginia. The company calls itself “the world“s leading space tourism company.“ The company has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman. In April, Mister
32、Shuttleworth will be launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Yet, the average citizen will not be able to travel into space in the near future. Space Adventures Limited sells a training program for space flight that costs two-hundred-thousand dollars. That price does not incl
33、ude the cost of the trip to the International Space Station. That holiday in space costs twenty-million dollars. Candidates for adventure space travel trips must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests. They must receive a lot of training and all successful candidates who wish to
34、 travel to the International Space Station must be able to read and speak English. Decide the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.（分数：5.00）(1).American businessman Dennis Tito pay to spend between twelve-million and thirty-million dollars one week on the Internati

37、ds of smaller computer networks. These networks transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words, images, and sounds. 2 Network users can search through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic “bulletin boards“, where users form discussion groups around common interests. Muc
38、h of the Internet“s traffic consists of messages sent from one computer user to another. These messages are called electronic mail or e-mail. Internet users have electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive e-mail. Other uses of the network include obtaining news, joining electronic deba
39、tes, and playing electronic games. One feature of the Internet, known as the World Wide Web, provides graphics, audio, and video to enhance the information in its documents. These documents cover a vast number of topics. 3 Much of the Internet operates through worldwide telephone networks of fiber o
40、ptic cables. These cables contain hair thin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of fight. They can transmit thousands of times more data than local phone lines, most of which consist of copper wires. 4 At that time, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department
41、of Defense developed a network of computers called ARPAnet. Originally, ARPAnet connected only military and government computer systems. Its purpose was to make these systems secure in the event of a disaster or war. Soon after the creation of ARPAnet, universities and other institutions developed t
42、heir own computer networks. These networks eventually were merged with ARPAnet to form the Internet. By the 1990s, anyone with a computer, modem, and Internet software could link up to the Internet. 5 . Many experts believe the Internet may become part of a larger network called the information supe
43、rhighway. This network, still under development, would link computers with telephone companies, cable television stations, and other communication systems. People could bank, shop, watch TV, and perform many other activities through the network. Complete the passage with the following sentences. The
44、re are two extra sentences that you do not need to use. A. The history of the Internet began 1960s and ARPAnet formed the foundation of the Internet nowadays. B. In the future, the Internet will probably grow more sophisticated as computer technology becomes more powerful. C. The Internet is a vast
45、network of computers that connects many of the world“s businesses, institutions, and individuals. D. There are many uses of the network. E. People usually access the Internet with a device called a modem. Modems connect computers to the network through telephone lines. F. ARPAnet now can connect man
46、y computer systems. G. The Internet was information on virtually every topic.（分数：10.00）十三、Section C(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Think of lavender today and up come images of old-world cottage gardens thick with nodding hollyhocks and pink roses round the door. It“s a prime player in lots of potpourri concoctions
47、 for that reason. But recently it“s been seen as more than just a pretty scent. In the last few years, clinical trials have been conducted on essential oil of lavender. Scientists have been studying its potential in the treatment of various health problems. In the days of folk medicine lavender oil
48、was considered to be one of the most useful all-round remedies, particularly for its soothing and antiseptic qualities. It was used for a wide range of treatments: a drop on a restless child“s pillow for a good night“s sleep or a little massaged into the temples to relieve a headache or mild depress
49、ion. It was even used as a rough-and-ready antiseptic by soldiers in the First World War. And it goes back much further than that: the Romans used the oil so widely to perfume their baths that its Latin name Lavandula, derives from their verb to bathe. Lavender“s healing properties were first discovered by accident. In 1910 a French chemist and perfumer burnt himself in a laboratory explosion. He plunged his singed hand into the nearest liquid which happened to be lavender essenc
