US father has named his son after a computer software term(术语).Jon Blake Cusack,from Mocjogam,told the local newspapers the US traditional way of adding“Junior”16“”after a boys name was too

it took months to persuade his wife,Jamie,18university teacher,to accept the idea.Mrs Cusack said she asked several friends whether they could accept this name.All the men,she said,19(feel)the name was“cool”.However,her women friendsdid not think so.“20think the women will end up liking it,”she said.Mr Cusack told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film calledThe Legendof 1900,21an abandoned baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of22birth.“I thought that if they could do it,why couldnt we?”he stressed23(repeat).After little Jon Version 2.0 was born,Mr Cusack even sent

capsule were carrying suppliesfor the International Space Station.The National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration(国家航空航天局)is turning to private companies to provide serviceslike bringing supplies to the space station.NASA official Bill Gerstenmaier spoke to reporters after the launch.He said NASAhas already signed agreements with SpaceX for the companys services.“Weve alreadybegun the contract for twelve flights with SpaceX going forward under CommercialResupply Services and those are already in place,”says Bill Gerstenmaier.The contractis worth 1.6 billion dollars.Mister Gerstenmaier said the United States no longer paysRussia to carry out such operations.The headquarters of SpaceX lie in Hawthorne,California.Elon Musk started thecompany in 2002.But,it is not the first company founded by the South African-bornbusinessman.He also started the Internet payment service,PayPal,which is now ownedby online auction(拍卖)store,Ebay.His other company,Tesla Motors,makes electriccars.Speaking to reporters,Mister Musk likened(比喻)space travel to where Internettechnology was in the 1990s.At that time,businesses were just starting to think abouthow to sell goods and services on the World Wide Web.Today,billions of dollars ingoods and services are sold online.But after the launch,Elon Musk tried to keep hisattention on the job at hand.ELON MUSK:“Well,I think right now our focus is very much on serving theInternational Space Station with cargo(货物)and then to crew and then advancing thestate of our rocket technology.I think the critical breakthrough in rocket technologyis to make full and rapidly reusable rocket.”The Dragon capsule is designed to be able to carry both astronauts and cargo.SpaceXsays it has forty launches planned over the next few years and contracts worth four4billion dollars.It says sixty percent of its upcoming flights are for businesses,notthe government.()26.The best title of the passage may probably be.A.SpaceX is Doing Business in SpaceB.The US No Longer Pays RussiaC.The Breakthrough in Space RocketD.Private Companies Matter in Space()27.The resupplies of the International Space Station used to be carried outby.A.the USB.RussiaC.AfricaD.SpaceX()28.From the passage,we can learn that SpaceX.A.is the first company by Elon MuskB.is based in Hawthorne,CaliforniaC.will turn to the governmentD.has completed forty launches()29.By comparing space travel to Internet technology in the 1990s,Elon Muskreally meant.A.the way goods and services are sold has changed a lotB.space travel is bound to have a bright futureC.nothing is impossible with a big heartD.space travel has a long way to go()30.According to Elon Musk,SpaceX focus finally on.A.carrying both astronauts and cargoB.making full and rapidly reusable rocketC.improving the Dragon capsuleD.getting contracts worth more from the governmentBWhen Dr Harveen Kaur Sidhu travels from her home in a neighborhood of thenorth-western Indian city of Chandigarh,she always carries her gun in her bag.Thegun is a new purchase-Sidhu got her license only a year ago-but now the 33-year-olddentist wont travel without it.“I dont have faith in the police to protect me.There are so many attacks onwomen these days.Its everybodys right to defend themselves,”Sidhu said.She isnot alone.A growing number of well-off,educated Indian women are turning to firearmsfor protection.There are estimated to be 40 million guns in India,the second highestnumber in the world after the US.Licenses are hard to obtain and most are illegal weapons.5Ownership levels per person remain low-three guns for every 100 people in India-butthere is strong evidence that middle-class interest in firearms is rising fast.One sign is the emergence of groups such as the National Association for Gun RightsIndia,founded in 2009,which asks for fewer restrictions on ownership of firearms.“We are looking at it as a way to protect ourselves,”said Rakshit Sharma,the groupssecretary general.His group,he said,receives“many inquiries from women who wantto know how to obtain a gun and stay within the law”.The local taste for conspicuous(挥霍性的)consumption has also boosted sales.“People buy weapons,10%for security and 90%for status.People will happily spend80,000 rupees(9,600)on a foreign-made handgun,”said Satish Kumar,a gunseller inChandigarh.Kumar said only one in 50 purchases were made by women but the number was rising.The phenomenon may in part be a response to the failure of the state to inspire confidenceamong many middle-class Indians,particularly women.Almost all women interviewed bythe Guardian said they felt an increased level of threat.“There are so many incidents,especially in Delhi.Women who are working or whoare travelling should definitely have a gun,”said Sidhu.She explained that changinglifestyles were making women more vulnerable(脆弱的),particularly single womenworking or coming home late at night.()31.What message is mainly expressed in the passage?A.Indian women take up firearms.B.Guns have become a must in India.C.A new way to seek for protection.D.The increasing crimes in India.()32.According to the second paragraph,we can know.A.the Indian police fail to protect womenB.Sidhu never travels from home while aloneC.badly-off Indian women are relatively saferD.middle-class women take more interest in guns()33.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A.Using guns.B.The group.C.Restricting firearms.D.Knowing law.()34.The majority of middle-class Indians buy guns to.A.ensure their securityB.show their status6C.gain much
