All of the twenty-odd fragments, collectively (32) comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 after its discoverers, were once part of the same object, now dismembered and strong out along the same orbit. This cometary train, glistening like a string of pear

The impact caused (35) explosion clearly visible from Earth, a bright flaming fire that quickly ex

When each (36) shammed at 60 kilometers (37) second into the dense atmosphere, its immense kinetic energy was transformed (38) heat, producing a superheated fire ball that was ejected back through the tunnel the fragment had made a few seconds earlier.

22、A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)For some educators, there is nothing wrong with fun and games. A group called the Education Arcade recently held a conference in Los Angeles to discuss the future of educational games. The Education Arcade brings together international game designers, publisher
23、s, teachers and policymakers. They say they want to lead change in the way the world learns through computer and video games.The conference was part of E-three, the Electronic Entertainment Exposition. This is a yearly trade show where companies show off new games and educational products.The Educat
24、ion Arcade started at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, near Boston. Professors worked with the Microsoft Company to create what they called the Games-to-Teach Project. The group began to explore ways to use technology in teaching and learning. They worked with game designers to develop ide
25、as about how mathematics and science could mix with game playing. The Education Arcade is the research part of this Games-to-Teach Project.The group recently announced that a “Games for Learning“ statement will be placed on some products. This should begin to appear in American stores in about six m
26、onths. The goal is to help people find games that are fun but will also teach. The Education Arcade says it also wants to get businesses to produce more games that teach.The Entertainment Software Association says fifty percent of all Americans age six and older play computer and video games. Sales
27、of such games in the United States grew eight percent last year, to seven-thousand-million dollars. The industry group says the average age of a game player is twenty-nine years old. And it says thirty-nine percent are women.Experts say developing a successful computer game can take millions of doll
28、ars and years of work. They say many companies are not willing to invest that much money and time in educational games when other kinds sell better.Still, companies have been creating systems like hand-held educational devices made by LeapFrog. And new educational role-playing games are being develo
29、ped. M. I.

33、 refer to matters of taste, belief, anti judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didnt attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most do attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,“ and “Everyones entitled lo his o
34、pinion,“ are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge anothers opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge anothers opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend “What do you t
35、hink of the new Buicks? “And he may reply, “In my opinion, theyre ugly. “In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For its obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, “Its pointless to argue abou
36、t matters of taste. “But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not stale their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment,
37、painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation.Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived
38、at, with or without examining the evidence.Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course. In a free country this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. In Great Britain, for example, there is still a Flat Earth Society. As the name implies, the members of this organization believe that the earth is
39、 not spherical, but flat. In this country, too, each of us is free to take as creative a position as we please about any matter we choose. When the telephone operator announces That 11 be 95 for the first three minutes, you may respond “No, it wontitll be 28 . “When the service station attendant not
40、ifies you “Your oil is down a quart, “ you may reply “ Wrongits up three.Being free to hold an opinion anti express it does not, of course, guarantee you favorable consequences. The operator may hang up on you. The service station attendant may threaten you with violence.Acting on our opinions carri
41、es even less assurance. Some time ago in California a couple took their eleven-year-old diabetic son to a faith healer. Secure in their opinion that the man had cured the boy, they threw away his insulin. Three days later the boy died. They remained unshaken in their belief, expressing the opinion t
42、hat God would raise the boy from the dead. The police arrested them, charging them with manslaughter. The law in such matters is both clear and reasonable. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so we do not harm others.（分数：5.00）(1).The first paragraph points out _.A. it would
43、be considered intolerant if someone ignored anothers opinionB. People attach much importance to opinion by accepting others opinion.C. The misuse of the word “opinion“ will cause much confusion whether you consider it important or not.D. People consider opinion important when they say : “Everyones e
44、ntitled to his opinion.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to paragraph 3, careful judgment is _.A. what “opinion“ actually refers to _.B. another use of “opinion“ after arguing a lotC. likes and dislikes through enquiry and deliberationD. a different expression of taste（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the
45、following statements is true?A. It does make sense to argue when “opinion“ refers to personal preference.B. Most of what is referred to as opinion contains both matters of taste and judgment.C. You are free to express what you believe only after carefully examining.D. The belief of a Flat Earth Soci
46、ety is permitted because of favorable consequences guaranteed.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The example the writer gives us in the last paragraph shows that _.A. eveyone is entitled to whatever opinion he has even if it is harmful to othersB. being free to hold an opinion and express it usually annoys others
47、C. we are not free to do anything by following our opinionsD. opinion referred to matters of taste is clearer and more reasonable than that of belief（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The writers main point in writing this article is _.A. to tell us careless uses of the word “opinion“ todayB. to show us his under
48、standing of the word “opinion“C. to illustrate different layers of the meanings of the word “opinion“D. to define the word “opinion/（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.十、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Most experts believe that an ever-increasing number of countries and terrorist groups will gain the technical capability to acquire and use
