14.A telescope (望远镜),called Gaia,is being designed by astronomers in Europe,and it couldn't be more different from Pan-STARRS,which is another telescope being designed.While Pan-STARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and comets headed for Earth,Gaia will be looking at our entire galaxy (银河系).
Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way,our home galaxy.Just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located,Gaia's map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are.Over five years,Gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy.Each object will be observed about 70times.
Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket.It contains two telescopes,each focused at a different angle (角度).These two telescopes act like Gaia's"eyes".The reason why humans can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object,at slightly different angles.By using two telescopes like eyes,Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of the stars it views.
Gaia,which is to be sent into space in 2011,will be a powerful telescope.If you were to use it on Earth,for example,you could stand 600miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair.
Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now.The next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem surprising.The universe,with all its planets,stars and other strange objects,is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes.

28.How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time?A
A.2.         
B.3.
C.4.

C.will just look at new things in universe
D.will be more powerful than the old generations.
15.Jupiter(木星) is the fifth planet from the sun and it is the largest one in the solar system.It is about 11 times bigger than the earth.Jupiter's strangest thing is its huge red spot.Pictures taken from space tell us that the red spot is probably a hurricane.It is so big that the earth would fit right in the middle of it.Sometimes the hurricane looks like a huge oven with orange-red waves.Other time the color almost disappears.
On the earth,hurricanes move.We can watch them travel across water to land.Jupiter's red spot also moves.Scientists say it"walks".It is carried along by air in Jupiter's atmosphere.
So far,Jupiter has been visited by four spacecrafts.All of them flew byJupiter very quickly.On the next trip to Jupiter,spacecraft will stay near the planet much longer.New information will be sent back to the earth.Soon scientists will know much more about this strange red spot in the atmosphere.

29.According to the passage,Jupiter's huge red spot is probablyD.
A.a big stone

B.Jupiter is much smaller than the earth
C.scientists have learned everything about Jupiter
D.Jupiter is a star just like the sun.
12.People laugh and people cry.But it is thought that emotions such as anger,grief or joy,typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.The shedder of tears(落泪者) is likely to apologize,even when a great tragedy was the cause.The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears.But judging from recent studies of crying behavior,both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (适得其反).
  Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears.Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses,it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival.
  Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance form others (as a crying baby might from its mother),the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help.Vo-cal (出声的) cries would have been quite enough,more likely than tears to gain attention.So,it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves.
  Indeed,the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress.University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears.Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion.Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance.
  Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs.At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr.Peter Kastl and his colleagues r eport that they can use tears to detect drug abuse,to study the causes of"dry eye"syndrome(综合症) and the effects of eye surgery,and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.
64.What does the phrase"both those responses"in Paragraph 1 refer to?D
A.Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.
B.The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers.
C.Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears.
D.The tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying.
65.It is known from the first paragraph thatA.
A.shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
B.crying may often result in tragedy
C.crying usually wins sympathy from other people
D.one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
66.From the passage we can infer thatB.
A.it is unnatural for people to shed tears
B.we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
C.shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
D.unlike animals,humans can shed tears for survival.
16.A strange thing happens to nearly everybody at night.They turn off the lights,put up the covers and close their eyes.Six or seven hours later,they wake up again.Strange,isn't it?
Sleep puzzles science.Scientists and doctors would rather talk about why one can't fall asleep.They are not so sure what causes sleep.
The best conditions for sleep,they say,are good health and meal neither too big nor too small.No worries and a comfortable place to sleep in are important,too.They advise against two in one bed.
Strange things happen during sleep.For example,you move often.You would feel tired if you didn't.You also dream.Part of your brain is still awake when you dream.Dreaming happens when the memory and imagination parts of your brain are still awake.Experiments have shown that bad dreams may be caused by a stomachache.
Don't worry if you dream.Some great stories and poems were begun while the writers slept.

13.Dream is very important to everyone especially for kids.Kids have big dreams for their future.Many of (41)them want to be an astronaut or a fireman.I have always wanted to be a (42)writer(write).Though my handwriting was careless,my head was filled with other words and characters (43)that I wanted to tell people about.
I was told by my teachers that my work was (44)amazing(amaze).I wrote a lot but I never published anything.I thought I was too young and at the time all I could do was to practice (45)Aftergraduation from college,one day,I decided to randomly select a few publications
(刊物) and send a few articles to them.The first response (46)that I received was a rejection of everything I had sent to the magazines.That was the last hope for me.I knew I had no (47)choice(choose) but to abandon(放弃) my dream and concentrate on something else.
One day,I came from my sales job and opened the mailbox.Inside was a letter from another.I sighed preparing myself(48)for another rejection.However,to my surprise,my work (49)was accepted(accept).
