分析 遇到问题应该自己努力想办法去解决，如果一个人总是在困难时候有人帮助，那么他或者她往往会养成一种依赖心理，从而失去自己解决问题的能力．在本文中作者通过回忆自己和父母对姐姐们的帮助向读者说明了这个道理．

解答 21：B 考查名词辨析．A．儿子； B．女儿；C．兄弟；D．姐妹．根据第一段I was not among them和第一段末句I watched them 26 to help out my older sisters …．可以判断父母时不时的去帮助他们的女儿，也就是作者的姐姐，所以答案选B．

9．Working outside the International Space Station （ISS），an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris（碎片）that damages his spacesuit．Alarmed，he realizes he's just seconds from disaster．Moving fast，his prepared robot partner slaps（拍打）an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit．Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS．Inside，the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker's life controls everything the robot avatar has done-including rescuing its human partner-while it works outside the space station．
R2：The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers，whether they're as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base．Space-travelling avatars，controlled remotely by humans are still a concept．But earlier in the year 2011，NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time．It's called R2，short for Robonaut 2．The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested．
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts．"Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans，"says NASA's Matt Ondler．R2 is controlled by humans using laptops． It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks，such as"find an object．"In most situations，humans are still far better with their hands than robots．But that's not necessarily true in space，where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves．And since they don't need to eat，breathe，or go to the bathroom，robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs．
R2 isn't ready for spacewalks yet，but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible．"Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D's：jobs that are dirty，dull，and dangerous，"says Ondler．
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon．Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human．A robot is stronger，can survive in tighter spaces，and doesn't need air．Even better，robots don't care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth．
Once on the moon，the robonaut could perform experiments，send live video back to Earth，talk to classrooms full of kids，and explore the lunar surface．R2 will be able to move using legs，or by attaching its torso（躯干）to a four-wheeled rover（探测器） and becoming part of vehicle．And when R2's battery is low，it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice．All in all，a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself．But for difficult tasks，a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game．NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions．So the next time your mom complains that you're spending too much time on video games，just tell her you're training for a job with NASA．

    C．It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings．
    D．It proves to be a good companion for space travelers．

    A．an ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings

16．Of all the problems facing modern astronomers，perhaps the most fascinating is："Can intelligent（有智能的） life exist elsewhere？"Since the Earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star，it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe．But to obtain proof is difficult．
The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds，the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms．The Moon may be ruled out at once； it has hardly any atmosphere．Venus（金星） is little better； the surface temperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide．Mars（火星） with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water，may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals，while the attractive Martians of the story-tellers have long since been given up．
Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the supposed people on Mars．In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree-patterns in Siberia，so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably．Following up this idea，the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed digging very wide ditches（沟） in the Sahara，triangular in patterns，and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that，when lit，the ditches would present Martian observers with a"flaming triangle"which would show the existence here of intelligent minds．Even better were the plans of Charles Cross，a French writer of the 1870's，who wanted to build a large mirror to reflect the sun's rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars，thereby making a vast burning-glass．By swinging the mirror around，Cross explained it would be practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand．For many years he bombarded （鼓吹） the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown．

48．From the passage we can learn that the opinion of the writer is thatC．
A．people on the earth are almost certainly the only intelligent beings in the universe
B．people on the earth are definitely the only intelligent beings in the universe
C．there may be other intelligent beings in the universe
D．there are other intelligent beings in the universe
49．Why is there unlikely any life on Venus？D
A．Because the weather is too cold．
B．Because it is severely short of water．
C．Because it has a very thin atmosphere．
D．Because the surface temperature is too hot．
50．According to the passage，it seems that MarsC．
A．may have both vegetable and animal life
B．may be inhabited by attractive Martians
C．may have some vegetable life
D．can have no life at all
51．How did Gauss，the mathematician，want to establish contact with the Martians？B
A．By building a large mirror．
B．By making patters with trees．
C．By filling wide ditches with oil．
D．By planting trees in triangular shape．
52．It can be learned from the last paragraph that Charles Cross feltA．
A．disappointed at the lack of official interest shown in his plan
B．surprised that the officials were interested in his suggestion
C．angry when the government paid little attention to his ideas
D．pleased when the government did take notice of his plan．
13．-It's really a __________ story!
-Exactly．Almost everybody was __________．（　　）
A．touching； movedB．touching； moving
C．touched； movingD．touched； moved
14．The young actress is very ______ about her success； she says it's as much the result of good luck as of her own talent．（　　）
A．considerateB．modestC．energeticD．religious
