  Maggie was assigned to this public school in the middle of the year, and the headmaster asked her to teach Class 4?B right away. She heard that the former teacher had  1 suddenly, but the headmaster didn't tell her  2 .All he told her was that this was a class of “ 3 ” students.?

  First day, she walked into the classroom, spitballs(废纸团) 4 through the air, feet on desks, the noise deafening. She walked to the front of the classroom and  5 the attendance book(点名册).Next to 20 names on the list was IQ scores: 140,141, 142...160.Oh,she thought to herself. 6 they are so high-spirited. These children have exceptional IQs. She  7 and brought them to order,?8 that she could teach such high-quality students.?

  At first Maggie found the students 9 to turn in work, and assignments(作业)that were handed in were done ?10?,full of mistakes. She spoke to everyone, “With your IQ,I 11 nothing short of the best work from you.”?

  The whole term Maggie continually 12 them of their responsibility to use all the extra intelligence(智力)God had given them. Things began to  13 .The children worked diligently. Their work was creative and precise(准确的).?

  At the end of the term, the headmaster 14 Maggie into his office. “What magic have you done to these kids?” he asked?15 ,“Their work has surpassed(超越) all the regular classes.”?

  “It is just 16 .They're smarter than regular students! You said yourself they are special students.” Maggie was 17 .?

  “I said they are special because they are the special-need students—behaviorally disordered.”?

  “Then why are their IQs so _18 on the attendance sheet?” Maggie pulled out the sheet and passed it to the headmaster.?

  “Those aren't their IQs. Those are their locker(小橱柜) 19 at the gym. Sorry, Ms. Maggie, your kids are not geniuses(天才).”?

  Maggie paused a bit, and smiled, “if someone  20 himself to be a genius, he will become one. I'm teaching them as geniuses again next year.”?

Planet Hunter

  When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.

  “What excited me most was whether there were planets(行星) in other solar(太阳的) systems where life might exist,” he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting(沿……轨道运行) other stars like our Sun.” And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995,” Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off.”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family” of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery; a Jupiter-like(像木星一样的) planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.

  At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough; it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.

  Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features(特征) in our solar system The first is Jupiter.

  “Because it's so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids(小行星), or they all come and hit the Earth.” Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed.”

  A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life!”

1.What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?

[  ]

A.He is fond of watching Jupiter.

B.He is from a scientist family.

C.He dislikes working with Paul Butler.

D.He is interested in finding life in outer space.

2.Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?

[  ]

A.The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.

B.The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.

C.The planet proves to be a gas planet.

D.The planet is as large as Jupiter.

3.How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?

[  ]

A.100.
B.69.
C.66.
D.65.

4.Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because ________.

[  ]

A.he has found the system similar to the solar system

B.he has discovered an Earth-like planet there

C.he has discovered a rocky planet there

D.he has found signs of life in the system

5.“But we stuck with it”(in Paragraph 3) means ________.

[  ]

A.they felt discouraged

B.they carried on with it

C.they failed in their attempt

D.they made some progress 查看习题详情和答案>>
