I answered the door and there was Mr. Jones, who was from a bike-racing company. Mr. Jones said, “Congratulations! You are one of our finalists for this years US Bike Tour Challenge. If you can ride your bike from here to Miami, Florida and finish it first, you will win $50,000. You can only take ten stops on this race and this doesnt include overnight stays at hotels. Will you accept this challenge, Mr. Wozniak?” I agreed, and so did my parents.Mr. Jones explained to me the rules. The race began the next day. The first day was very smooth for me. But unluckily the next four days, I bumped into some rain, which didnt stop until I reached North Carolina. And I had used six stops because of the bad weather. It would take five days to get to Florida, so I would travel one day without making a stop. And I did it. On the sixth day, I succeeded in making it all the way to Savannah Georgia without a stop. Four days later, I arrived in downtown Miami and I was informed that I was in the 4th place. So I thought to myself I could win. At 6:15pm, I found myself head to head with another racer. We both switched gears to head for the finish line.When the officials announced, “The Ohio competitor, Evan Wozniak, is the winner!”I was so excited that I fell off my bike.

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, Gaias 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 70 times. 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 Gaias “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 600 miles 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. 48. How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.49. The map to be drawn by Gaia _.A. can show every building on EarthB. can show you where your town isC. will just show the stars around EarthD. will show where the stars are in our home galaxy50. Whats Paragraph 4 mainly about?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.51. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopes _.A. seem very surprising to scientists B. will not be put into use in a short timeC. will just look at new things in universe D. will be more powerful than the old generations D Clean water is not only important for food production, but necessary for our life. However, large numbers of people in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are going without. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day for dirty water or lack (缺少) of water. Agriculture is the primary user of water at 7085% of fresh water in the world. Industrial uses of water dont often come to mind, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water supply in developed countries.Home use takes up only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, the local government has to cut down on water use. Many cities are turning to privatization (私有化) of water as a method of controlling use. The poor are paying as much as a quarter of their monthly income (收入) for water in some developing countries. In 60% of large European cities, groundwater is being used at a faster rate. People are saving water by simply using less and being careful with what they do use. Sometimes its as simple as not throwing out water that they could use elsewhere. In Australia overuse of water has always been a problem. The Australian government has encouraged households and industries to collect rainwater and reuse water from showers. Tech-nology is helping householders for shower and bath water for reuse in toilets or gardens. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program designed to encourage families and businesses to examine their water use and save more water. Good water management has been considered by scientists and the UN as the key to solving the water problem. We can all work together to protect our valuable water in our daily life. 52. In developed countries, most water is used by _.A. agricultureB. industryC. familiesD. businesses53 To save water, what do Australians and Europeans both choose to do?A. Find more groundwater.B. Make good use of rainwater.C. Recycle water for a second use.D. Encourage people to have fewer showers.54. According to scientists, to deal with water shortage, the most important is to _.A. cut down on water use at homeB. have good control over water useC. popularize privatization of waterD. introduce water-saving technologies55. What would be the best tile for the passage?A. Waterthe source of all livesB. Water and peoples healthC. Save water, save the worldD.
