【题目】D

A new satellite is travelling 1.5 million kilometers over a 110-day period to enter an orbit of the sun. It is called DSCOVR--the Deep Space Climate Observatory. It will replace a satellite that has been observing space weather.

DSCOVR will begin its work during the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle. This is a time when extreme weather on the sun can have the greatest effect on planet Earth.

DSCOVR will gather information about a continuing flow of particles from the sun. We are protected from these particles by the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. But we are not fully protected from what scientists call Coronal Mass Ejections. These are strong storms that can happen on the sun's surface.

Thomas Berger is the director of the Space Weather Prediction Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. He says these ejections are much more dangerous than solar particles. He says the Coronal Mass Ejections are extremely large magnetic clouds that are expelled from the sun at extremely high speeds. He says when they impact Earth, it is like a hurricane impacting Earth in terms of space weather.

Violent space weather can make electric systems stop working. It can block satellite signals to Earth. It can interfere with radio signals and air travel.

Mr. Berger says we cannot stop the ejections from affecting us, but we can prepare for them if we know when they will happen. When the DSCOVR satellite records an ejection, it will release a warning. Mr. Berger says the warning will provide NOAA about 15 to 60 minutes to let people know that a very strong storm is coming in to the Earth. He says that is enough time for power grid operators to take protective action. He says it is also enough time for workers to place satellites on a safe operating method if necessary.

Mr. Berger says scientists would like even more time, of course. He says researchers are developing instruments that will give an earlier warning.

The warnings from DSCOVR will be for the whole planet. But Mr. Berger says a new system may be able to give more-targeted warnings. He says future models will be able to tell exactly what part of the world will be more at risk from a solar storm.

That means that, for the first time, humans will get both a warning that a magnetic storm is heading towards Earth and information about where it is likely to hit.

【1】The new satellite is used to ________?

A. replace the satellite in use

B. observe space weather

C. study the sun

D. take pictures of space

【2】When will DSCOVR begin its work___________?

A. before the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle

B. during the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle

C. after the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle

D. as soon as it enter the robit of the sun

【3】According to Thomas Berger, __________?

A. the Coronal Mass Ejections are expelled from the sun at extremely low speeds

B. the ejections can be stopped from affecting us

C. ejections are far more dangerous than solar particles

D. 15 to 60 minutes is not enough for power grid operators

【4】How much time do people have to make preparations for the ejections__________?

A. more than 60 minutes

B. less than 60 minutes

C. about half an hour

D. between 15 and 60 minutes

【5】What do know from the passage__________?

A. The warnings from DSCOVR will be for just some part of Earth

B. future models will be able to tell what part will be more likely to be hit

C. there is nothing we can do in the face of the solar storm

D. humans have received the warning sent from the satellite

【题目】How often do you use your car? Can you use your car less often? Do you know the following facts in the UK?

About 50% of all car journeys are just for fun.

Over 80% people go to work by car.

25% car journeys are under two miles.

70% car journeys are under five miles.

WALKING & CYCLING

Instead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride a bicycle? Walking is a most popular form of exercise-it's healthy and it can save you money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. Walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience.

BUSES

Bus companies are using new buses some run on new fuels which produce less pollution; some have easier access for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes (行车道)to make bus journeys easier and more reliable. So do something to help solve the pollution problem-let the bus take you to work and your children to school.

TRAINS

All car journeys, long or short, can be hard work. For some trips it is wiser to take the train. Leave your car at home and walk, cycle or take a bus to and from the station. Train travel is fast, safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not always expensive; some are quite cheap at discount.

1How many of car journeys are just for fun in the UK?

A. 25%. B. About 50%.

C. 70%. D. Over 80%.

2The writer believes that __________ can give children valuable road experience.

. walking to school B. travelling by train

C. taking new fuel buses D. having car journeys for fun

3What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To teach people how to use the buses.

B. To encourage people to travel by train.

C. To advise people to use cars less often.

D. To tell people to obey traffic rules.

【题目】It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.

He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.

Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.

Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink --- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.

Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?

My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.

Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.

He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.

Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.

It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.

Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.

How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.

Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.
