8．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．
32．How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time？A
A.2．
B.3．
C.4．
D.5．
33．The map to be drawn by GaiaD．
A．can show every building on Earth
B．can show you where your town is
C．will just show the stars around Earth
D．will show where the stars are in our home galaxy
34．What's Paragraph 4mainly about？C
A．What Gaia will do in space．
B．When Gaia will start to work．
C．How powerful Gaia will be．
D．What Gaia will do to Earth．
35．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopesD．
A．seem very surprising to scientists
B．will not be put into use in a short time
C．will just look at new things in universe
D．will be more powerful than the old generations．

5．The cemetery where Coghlan was buried was destroyed by the hurricane and Coghlan's coffinended up in the sea．

12．Each year the Pritzker Architecture Prize （普立兹克建筑奖） goes to a star designer with a long list of attractive buildings around the world．This year's winner is a little different．
Shigeru Ban has designed museums，homes and concert halls．But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work：the temporary （暂时的） buildings for people who became homeless after disasters．
Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildings out of paper-cardboard paper tubes （管）．Ban actually tested the strength of cardboard tubes，and said he was surprised by what he had discovered．He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan，Haiti，China and elsewhere．
"After a disaster，the building material is going to be more expensive，"Ban explains．"But the paper tube is actually not a building material．It is cheap and plentiful．We can get the material easily anywhere．And unlike costs for traditional building materials，the price of paper tubes doesn't jump after an earthquake or flood．The tubes are also lightweight，so you don't need heavy machines to work with them．"
Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s．At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school，and he was looking for a cheap   substitute for wood．So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office．
Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U．S．before moving back to Japan to start his practice．Some of Ban's temporary buildings have become permanent （永久的），like the paper church he built after the 1995earthquake in Kobe，Japan．
40．The author uses the first paragraph toB．
A．raise an argument
B．give an introduction
C．give an example
D．offer a description
41．What is special about Shigeru Ban？D
A．He failed to get this year's architecture prize．
B．He graduated from the best architecture school in the U．S．
C．He is good at building houses for homeless people．
D．He builds special houses for special groups of people．
42．Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes？A
A．Because they are cheap and easy to take away．
B．Because they are strong and last for a long time．
C．Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful．
D．Because they are common and hard to break．
43．What does the underlined word"substitute"probably refer to？C
A．A new way of building houses by using wood．
B．A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes．
C．A new kind of building material to take the place of wood．
D．A new machine to produce a new kind of building material．

2．Convincing people that your way is the best way is often very difficult---especially when you're not quite sure why they're saying no．Turn the tables on your conversation and convince people of your point of view．（36）D And with the right methods，you can do it．
1．（37）BKnowing how to persuade people isn't just in words and body language-it's also in knowing the right time to talk to them．If you approach people when they are more relaxed and open to discussion，you will most likely achieve faster，better results．
2．Talk fast．People are more persuaded by a fast，confident talker than accuracy．Sort of makes sense-the faster you talk，the less time your listener has to process what you've said and question it．（38）E
3．Get to know them．A large part of whether or not persuasion is effective is based on the general understanding between you and your son/friend/employee．If you don't know the person well，it's necessary to start building this understanding immediately-find common ground as soon as possible．（39）GSo find parallels and make them known．
4．（40）AThere is something to be said for clarity．If you're confusing the person may want to agree with you，but doesn't necessarily know what you're looking for．Speaking in a firm way will help you maintain directness and keep your intentions clear．

A．Speak firmly．
B．Understand the best time．
C．Talk about what interests them．
D．The trick is to get them wondering why they're saying no．
E．Thus，you create the feeling that you truly grasp the subject．
F．If someone talks fast，it's the perfect time to persuade him．
G．Human，in general，feel safer around people that are similar to them．
