1、阅读理解(建议用时:25分钟)A体裁科普文题材地球变暖词数381Move EarthIts Not Science FictionLONDONScientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be se
2、nt spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system. This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planete
3、ffectively doubling its working life. The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth. “Earths orbital speed would increase
4、as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun, ”Laughlin said. Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would
5、 be repeated. In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so“seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)by cooking us. Thats why the group decided to
6、try to save Earth. The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation(误算)in orbit could fire it straight at Earthwith deadly consequences. There is al
7、so the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position, it is“most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth”. This would greatly change our planets climate. 1. What makes the scientists plan to move Earth

9、ionB. 6 billionC. 18 billionD. 24 billion3. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage? A. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the Moon. B.

B(2013扬州模拟)体裁记叙文题材梅西介绍词数378Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him. I
11、n 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Mullers previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals. All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and tha
12、t he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do. We dont know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still susta
13、in(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons. Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelonas victorious Champions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he m
14、ust win the tournament a few more times. Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina. Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of in
15、ternational soccer during their careers, and Messis performances for his country have been severely disappointing. While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentinas performance in 20
16、10. But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messis breakout performance in blue and white stripes. Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the
17、 extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies. 5. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career? A. He must win the Worl
18、d Cup with Argentina. B. He must win the tournament a few more times. C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona. D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps. 6. How was Messis performance in 2010 World Cup? A. Excellent. B. Inspiring. C. Disappointing. D. Normal. 7. What can we infer from the passage? A. Me
