11．In July 1994Jupiter，the largest planet in our solar system，was struck by 21pieces of a comet（彗星）．When the fragment（碎片）landed in the southern part of the giant planet，the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth．But what if our own planet was hit by a comet？
The year is 2094．It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth．Most of it will miss our plant，but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth．The news has caused panic．
On 17July，a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion．About half of the fragment is destroyed．But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200times the speed of sound．The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads．The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800kilometers an hour．Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned．The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia．
Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth，but the north won't escape for long．Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions．As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，temperatures around the world fall to almost zero．Crops are ruined．Wars break out as countries fight for food．A year later civilization has collapsed．No more than 10million people have survived．
Could it really happen？In fact，it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth．The dinosaurs（恐龙）were on the Earth for over 160million years．Then 65million years ago they suddenly disappeared．Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment．The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct．Will we meet the same end？

9．We keep reading that TV is bad for you．If this is true，how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are？In my home，the only people who can work the remote control are the children．
Perhaps TV does educate you．For example，you learn a useful medical fact：A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies．"The killer was…"（dies）
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills"．Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights．Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas．And contrary to what scientists say，the crack（霹雳） of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time，wherever you are．
I've even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows：Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from．
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security．Consider these truths．If you are ever attacked by 2 0bad guys，don't worry about being outnumbered．The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all．Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact，aha，women．
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger．Watch and learn．（1）If anyone is running after you down a passage，you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over．（2）If you are tall and handsome，you can run from any number of armed criminals，and every shot will miss you．
Be warned，however．If your name card says"henchman"（帮凶） and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual，a single shot will kill you．But don't be anxious：TV also delivers useful information for bad guys．All cars are inflammable （易燃的） and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage-except police cars．
TV even teaches us about TV．Whenever anyone turns on a TV，it shows a news flash about someone they know．They then turn the box off immediately after that news item．

50．By saying"A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies"（Paragraph 2），the writer shows hisA．
A．humor B．sympathy C．deep concern D．medical knowledge
51．We can learn from Paragraph 3that in the real worldD．
A．bad things cause people to break down in the rain
B．bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
C．people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas
D．the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don't happen at the same time
52．On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on？A
A．The news shown is always about someone the person knows．
B．The person always turns off the TV when it's time for news．
C．The program shown is always about the importance of TV．
D．TV always shows news about famous people．
53．What's the main idea of this passage？D
A．Life skills can be learned from TV．
B．TV plays an important role in society．
C．Watching TV makes people more creative．
D．What happens in TV is very different from reality．
54．The writer of this passage takes a（n）C attitude towards TV plays．

Ireland has had a very difficult history．The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer（征服） Ireland．For hundreds of years，the Irish people fought against the English．Finally，in 1921，the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland．The result is that today there are two"Irelands"．Northern Ireland，in the north，is part of the united kingdom．The Republic of Ireland，in the south，is an independent country．
In the 1840s the main crop，potatoes，was affected by disease and about 750，000people died of hunger．This，and a shortage （短缺） of work，forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA，the UK，Australia and Canada．As a result of these problems，the population fell from 8.2million in 1841to 6.6million in 1851．
For many years，the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers．Today，many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices．Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside，where things move at a quieter and slower pace．
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly．Oscar Wilde，a famous Irish writer，once said that the Irish were"the greatest talkers since the Greeks"．Since independence，Ireland has revived（复兴） its own culture of music，language，literature and singing．Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments．Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin，whistles，etc．
