2、where 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 a

3、nd 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 mothers room. He found

4、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-control of a trained adult.On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working,

5、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 he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.

10、ing about first aidChe had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely Dhe had followed his mothers instructionBThere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能).First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although

11、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

12、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 s

13、cientists have invented. For example, they may be buried 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 th

14、e 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.Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is ext

15、remely 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 earthquake.D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases

16、 for many years.76. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are .A. easy B. impossible C. reasonable D. ineffective77. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place.B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.C. The general public are strongly ag

17、ainst the nuclear program.D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.78. What is this passage about?A. Uses of nuclear power. B. Dangers from nuclear power.C. Public anger at nuclear power. D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.CThere is one foreign product the Japanes

18、e are buying faster faster than others，and itspopularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese. That product is foreign words. Gairaigo-words that comefrom outside have been part of the Japanese language forcenturies. Mostly borrowed from English and Chiease.These terms are often changed

19、into formsno longer understood by native speakers. But in the last few years the trickle(涓涓细流)of foreign words has become a flood，andpeople fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese tounderstand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities

20、oftraditional(传统的) Japanese. “The popularity of forgign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything，”saysuniversity lecturer and writer Takashi Saito.“By using a foreign word you can make a subjectseem new，which makes it easier for the medias(媒体)to pick up.” “Experts(专家)often study abroad and

21、 use English terms when they speak with people intheir own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers，”said MuturoKai,president of the National Language Research Institute.“Foreign words find their wayeasily into announcements made to the general public，when they should really

22、be explained inJapanese.” Against the flow of new words，many Japanese are turning back to the study of their ownlanguage.Saitos Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flyingoff book sellers shelves.“We were experting to sell the books to young people，” said the writer，“

23、but it turnsout they are more popular with the older generation who seem uneasy about the future ofJapanese.”79. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms？A. The idea sexpressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.C. Foreign words

24、 make new subject seasier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.80.IntheopinionofTakashiSaito，Japanesepeople_.A. are good at learning foreign languages B.

25、portant part in the spread of foreign words？A. The media and govemment papers B. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.C. The interest of young Japenese.D. Foreign products and experts82. The book Japanese to Be read Aloud_.A. sells very well in Japan B. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by t

26、he old generation D. causes misunderstanding among the readers.DPlanet Hunter When Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky. “What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太

27、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.” 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

28、 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 three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55

29、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 S

30、un. 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 Eart

31、h 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

32、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 lif

33、e! ”83. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage? A. He is fond of watching Jupiter. B. He is from a scientist family. C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler. D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.84. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so

34、 far? A. 100 B. 69 C. 66 D. 6585. “But we stuck with it”（in Paragraph 3）means _. A. they felt discouraged B. they carried on with it C. they failed in their attempt D. they made some progressVII.
