For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B,
8、 C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.(分数:10.00)_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
9、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 whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth. Buy $40 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate
10、 most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we“ll have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn“t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How
11、 likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 400,000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don“t take care of these big asteroids
12、, they“ll take care of us“, says one scientist. “It“s that simple“. The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. 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 set against them, “said a
13、New York Times article.(分数:10.00)(1).What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?(分数:2.00)A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.(2).What
14、do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?(分数:2.00)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 m
15、ight occur.(3).What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?(分数:2.00)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 because a collision of asteroids with Earth is ve
16、ry unlikely.D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.(4).We can conclude from the passage that _.(分数:2.00)A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC.the worry
17、about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetimeD.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth(5).Which of the following best describes the author“s tone in this passage?(分数:2.00)A.Optimistic.B.Critical.C.Obj
18、ective.D.Arbitrary.In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? The evidence shows that while variety certain
19、ly makes the worker“s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important. There is no doubt that this is
20、true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus, although freedom of choice may be important, usually very little can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much a
21、 worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his l
22、ine. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker“s contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more mone
23、y only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we make their jobs more interesting, they will want neither more money nor shorter working hours.(分数:10.00)(1).Varied jobs, in
24、writer“s opinion, will _.(分数:2.00)A.offer greater productivityB.drive workers to work harderC.make workers more productiveD.make worker“s life more enjoyable, but do not make them more hardworking(2).According to the passage, freedom can not be easily given since _.(分数:2.00)A.it is in not what worke
