Its a glimpse of the future, according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking. “
10、I see great dangers for the human race，” he said in an interview with global forum Big Think. “There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go.”“I believe that the longterm future of the human race must be in space，” he said.“ It will be difficult
11、enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.” Hawking, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth. “If aliens visited us, the outcome would be as muc

He told Big Th
13、ink, “Weve made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.” Getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think,
14、“ the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years away. That means, if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4.2 years to get there or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”1Humans are advised to abandon Earth mainly because _.Aalien

For handsome men, th
18、e extra kicks are more likely to come from economic benefits, like increased wages, while women are more likely to find joy just looking in the mirror. “Women feel that beauty is naturally important，” says Daniel Hamermesh, a University of Texas at Austin labor economist and the studys lead author.
19、“They just feel bad if theyre ugly.”Hamermesh is the acknowledged father of pulchronomics, or the economic study of beauty. It can be a dangerous job. He once made angry an audience of young Mormon (魔门教) women, many of whom wished to stay home with future children, by explaining that homemakers tend
20、 to be less attractive than their workinggirl peers (同伴). “Since beautiful women tend to be paid more, they have more motivation to stay in the workforce，” he says.The pursuit of good looks drives several huge industries in 2010, Americans spent $845 million on facelifts alone but few economists foc

Like many other desirable commodities (商品), “beauty is
22、rare，” Hamermesh says, “and that rareness commands a price.”A handsome man is estimated to make 13 percent more during his career than a “lookschallenged” peer, according to calculations in Hamermeshs recent book, Beauty Pays. Interestingly, the net benefit is slightly less for pretty women, who may
23、 make up the difference by trading on their looks to marry men with higher earning potential. And some studies have shown that attractive people are more likely to be hired in a recession (经济衰退)Hamermesh argues that “theres not much we can do to improve our pulchritude (美丽)”. There are even studies
24、suggesting that for every dollar spent on cosmetic products (化妆品), only 4 cents returns as salary making lipstick a truly awful investment. _.One 2006 study showed that the less beautiful may actually profit from their lack of looks. People tend to expect less from the unattractive, so when they go
25、beyond those low expectations they are rewarded. And the beautiful ones are often primarily held to a higher standard “then hit with a beauty penalty if they fail to deliver.” Hamermesh says.5What is the best title of this passage?AHow Much does Being Attractive Cost?BHow Much is Being Attractive Wo

39、at over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For
40、 example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is
41、that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generati

62、合语意。2选D句意：“苏珊究竟为什么哭？”“她被指责在考试中作弊。”题线处在答句中作主语，A、C两项不能作主语，若选B项则应在前面加that；此处为动词ing形式作主语。3选C因they (these glasses)是break的承受者，故用被动语态；又因在时间状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，此处由“get过去分词”构成被动语态。4选C句意：我们不仅忘记关厨房的灯，而且也忘了锁前门。not only位于句首时，其后的分句要部分倒装，故选C。5选B句意：史密斯先生回家时发现煤气正从管道里泄漏，因为我们忘记关阀门了。但是后来我们很幸运，没受到惩罚。escape
63、from .“(气体等)从中泄漏”，由“when he came back”可知第一个空应用过去进行时；escape being punished/punishment“逃脱/逃避惩罚”。6选D根据答语第一句中的时态可知， 此处强调的是“到目前为止，好长时间没有见到她了”，而且see 与she之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态。7选C句意：这种布很好洗，我认为值得买。第一空表示主语内在的特征、性质而非强调动作本身，应用主动表示被动，故可排除B、D两项；根据短语be worthy to be done和be worthy of being done(值得做)，可知应选C。8选A句
64、意：这个电影院由于传统的设计而看上去很旧。实际上，它仅仅在两个月前才完工。in reality“事实上，实际上”，符合句意。in turn“依次，轮流”；in return“作为回报”；in need“在危难中”。9选A句意：从某种意义上来讲，一个国家不论大小都不要反对和平与发展的趋势，不要不断地给其他国家制造麻烦。constantly“不断地，经常地”；eventually“最后地”；finally“最后”；immediately“立即，马上”。10选B句意：“在你作为一个交换生参观伦敦期间，你认为伦敦眼摩天轮怎么样？”“非常棒！给我留下的印象非常深刻。”tiring“令人疲倦的”；amaz
65、ing“惊人的，很棒的，了不起的”；frustrating“令人沮丧的”；amusing“有趣的，引人发笑的”。11选C句意：因为考试失败而非常沮丧的约翰目前不愿重提这个话题。因为句子的主语是John，与disappoint是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词。12选A句意：轮船的发动机出了故障，而且坏天气又增加了船员的绝望。add to“增加”，符合句意。result from“因而发生”；turn out“结果是，证明是”；make up“弥补”。13选BIt is the first time that .结构中that从句应用现在完成时；It is high time that .结构中
66、that从句应用过去时或“should动词原形”，而且should不能省略，故选B。14选C句意：中国是第三个掌握空间对接技术的国家。master“掌握”，符合句意。control“控制”；invent“发明”；employ“使用，雇用”。15选B句意：“不好意思，我没有买到葡萄汁，不过给你买了一些橙汁。”“这已经够了。总之多谢了。”Thatll do me的意思是“这对我来说已经够了”，符合语境。.1选D细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“It will be difficult enough ., or million.”可知，在接下来的几百年中地球上会有许多灾难发生。故答案为D。2选B推理判
67、断题。根据文章第七段中的“Weve made remarkable ., our future is in space.”可知，我们虽然在过去的几百年中取得了卓越的进步，但是如果我们要在接下来的几百年中继续延续这种进步，我们将来的生活空间在太空。据此可以推断出，未来地球将不再适合人类居住。故答案为B。3选C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，人类借助现在的火箭科学技术，短时间内是不可能到达离地球最近的Proxima Centauri (比邻星)的，所以人类搬去另外一个星球在不远的将来是不会实现的。故答案为C。4选D文章出处题。文章主要介绍了斯蒂芬霍金对人类未来的预测，是在global fo

69、 same reasons.”和第二句中的“Fot handsome men, the extra kicks are more likely to come from economic benefits”可知，A项正确。7选A段落大意题。文章最后一段讲到，2006年的一项研究表明，长相普通的人可能会由于人们对他们期望较低而获益，而长相较好的人也可能会由于达不到人们对他们的期望而得不到相应的好处。由此可知，本段的主题句应为：天生的漂亮并不总能带来好处。故答案选A。8选B推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句“即使在经济衰退时期，长相好的人也比较容易找到工作”可知，雇主也喜欢漂亮的员工。所以B项“漂
