Except for the crackling （ 爆 裂 声 ）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each on through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn. The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self adult." -control of a trained On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.

First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buri ed under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.Third, there may occur the danger of a leak 泄 漏 or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页,共 7 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster 灾 难 is extremely high.75. Which of the following if FALSE.A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.C. The containers are likely to be broken by an e arthquake. D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.76.

D Planet Hunter When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he 名师归纳总结 would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.（ 太第 5 页,共 7 页“What excited me most was whether there were planets（ 行 星 ） in other solar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.”- - - - - - -精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 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 -like （ 像 木 星three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter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 its 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. ” 83. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage.A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.outer space. B. He is from a scientist family. D. He is interested in finding life in 84.
