28、o live in a big pond. Plutos recent departure from the classical planet family clearly proves that size really matters. Astronomers voted on August 24 to give a definition to the word “planet“, and Pluto turned out to be only a “ dwarf planet“(矮行星 ). After weeks of heated debate, over 2, 500 astrono

29、mers from 73 countries voted on the definition of a “planet“ at a conference of the International Astronomical Union(IAU). According to the definition, a planet must have a clear neighborhood around its orbit. Pluto has widely been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. Unfortunately, it h

30、as a special orbit which overlaps with Neptunes. It is all because, compared with Neptune, Pluto is very small. It is attracted by Neptunes gravity when the two planets get closer. According to IAU, a “dwarf planet“ should have an orbit around the sun. It will not have a clear neighborhood a-round i

31、ts orbit, and must not be a satellite. The new classification means that the science textbooks will have to be updated. The solar system is now made up of the eight “classical planets“, together with a number of dwarf planets. The classical planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,

32、Uranus and Neptune. Astronomers sent an advanced telescope into space, and found a belt of objects, which lies beyond Neptune. The belt contains nearly 1, 000 objects, including Pluto. As they continued the exploration, scientists recendy discovered at least 41 dwarf planets at the edges of the sola

33、r system. There are at least two objects of a similar size to Pluto. It seems that even if the IAU had kept Plutos status as a planet, the classical theory of nine planets in the solar system would have had to be changed. More dwarf planets of a similar size to Pluto would join the family of planets

34、. Scientists will probably find many more dwarf planets. 46 The sentence “It is always hard for a small fish to live in big pond“ quoted at the beginning of the passage is used to_. （ A） tell us small fish can hardly survive in the big pond （ B） tell us the size of an object really matters （ C） mean

35、 that small planet can hardly exist in the solar system （ D） explain the disappearance of Pluto in the solar system 47 According to the passage, Pluto is_. （ A） a “dwarf planet“ which has a clear neighborhood around its orbit （ B） a satellite of Neptune which was discovered in 1930 （ C） the smallest

36、 planet in the solar system （ D） a “dwarf planet“ which has an orbit around the sun 48 According to the new classification, the solar system includes_. （ A） eight classical planets and forty one dwarf planets （ B） nine classical planets and at least forty one dwarf planets （ C） eight classical plane

37、ts and a number of dwarf planets （ D） 1, 000 objects 49 From me last paragraph we can infer that if IAU kept Plutos status as a planet, the number of planets in the solar system would be_. （ A） eight （ B） nine （ C） less than nine （ D） more than nine 50 Which of the following statements is NOT true a

38、ccording to the passage? （ A） According to me definition of a “planet“ , if Pluto were bigger it would not have left the classical planet family. （ B） The definition of “planet“ was determined by over 2, 500 astronomers. （ C） Pluto has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptunes because it is so sm

39、all as to be attracted by Neptune s gravity when the two planets get closer. （ D） A “dwarf planet“, which must not be a satellite without a clear neighborhood around its orbit, should have an orbit around me Sun. 50 Do you find getting up in me morning so difficult that its painful? This might be ca

40、lled laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that youre“hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.

41、 For some people the peak comes during me forenoon. For others it comes in die afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as, “Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!“The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperat

42、ure and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes.

43、Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in me morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your

44、cycle, but youll get upstream and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up witii a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out th

45、e night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. 51 If a person finds getting up early is a problem, most probably_. （ A） he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening （ B） he is not sure when his energy

46、 is low （ C） he refuses to follow his own energy cycle （ D） he is a lazy person 52 Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage? （ A） Unawareness of energy cycles. （ B） Familiar monologues. （ C） Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members. （ D） A chang

47、e in a family members energy cycle. 53 If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning he should_. （ A） get up earlier than usual （ B） change her energy cycles （ C） overcome his laziness （ D） go to bed earlier 54 You are advised to rise witii a yawn and stretch because it will_

49、Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle. （ C） Getting off to work witii a minimum effort helps save ones energy. （ D） Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day. 55 Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, beliefs, and ways of life of given group of human beings, In tiiis sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem
