ZHUHAI-China will soon put a person into space and become the third nation in the world to have manned spaceflight,a top Chinese aerospace(航空航天)official said on November 5.
A manned launch was not far off,Vice President Hu Hongfu of China Aerospace Science Technology Corp(CASTC)told a news conference at the third Zhuhai Air Show. "It will not be long before Chinese astronauts can ride locally-make spaceships into space,"Hu said.The official gave no timerable but said it would happen "at the beginning of the 21st century."
The former Soviet Union and the United States have been putting people into orbit since the early 1960s,but other nations have not considered the challenge worth following.
China has already built and sent up its own satellites for communications(通讯) and weather forecasting.The new communication satellites would help to encourage the country's broadcasting industry,Hu said.
But the company,which includes over 130 aerospace agencies,said the lifting ability and success rate of China's space-launches were almost equal in quality to those of other countries.
China would gradually close the distance between its country's space industry and that of other nations.He added that they were willing to send up commercial satellites for Taiwan.
On China's plan to send up manned spaceflights,Hu said China had made important development after the successful launch(发射)in November last year of the country's first experimental spaceship,Shenzhou. "The whole project is in the research stage and a lot of work needs to be done," Hu said. "We need to have more tests of the unmanned spaceship."
China last year announced a four-step manned spaceflight plan,with the aim of setting up a space-station served by a spaceship traveling between two places.
56.The underlined word "they" here probably refers to____________.
A.the Soviet Union and the USA B.over 130 aerospace agencies
C.Russia and China D.Russia and the USA
57.The main idea of the 7th paragraph is______________.
A.we haven't tested the manned spaceship
B.before we send a manned spaceship,we should carry out many tests
C.though we tried once,we need to do more tests of the unmanned spaceship
D.sending up a manned spaceship can show a country's scientific level
58.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "close"?
A.shut B.drop C.shorten D.widen
59.The writer wrote the passage to____________.
A.tell us the present situation of China's aerospace technology
B.remind us what we should do compared to other countries
C.find out the reason why China falls behind
D.tell us that China will send up manned spaceship soon

In the year 2000, the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion (十亿). Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food supply.
Who is going to feed all those people? Where is the food going to come from? Are we going to have enough food? Are we going to produce more artificial(人选的) food?
One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat. Why? Because it takes 4 kilos(公斤) of grain protein(蛋白质) to produce half a kilo of meat protein. Clearly, there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8 billion people. Therefore, it will also necesssary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many people's food today.
A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean (大豆).The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content. Scientists can now make these look and taste like real meat. They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk, for example, which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cow's milk. In fact, one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for years! She gave them soybean beef, soybean chicken, soybean milk, and sometimes just soybeans. Possibly, we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables.
60.What is the main subject of the passage?
A. A solution to man's food problem.
B. A solution to the population problem.
C. Advantages of soybean.
D. How to develop good eating habits.
61.According to the passage, meat will completely disappear in the future because .
A. people have to spend too much time energy to produce it
B. too much grain protein is needed to produce it
C. it contains too much fat and protein
D. it is no good to the health
62.In this passage, “artificial food” refers to food made from .
A. milk B. grain C. protein D. soybeans
63.Soybean meat is similar to real meat .
A. in appearance but not in taste.
B. neither in appearance nor in taste.
C. both in appearance and in taste.
D. in taste, but not in appearance.
C
For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.
Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. When builders began making houses and offices, they did not want to waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also used man－made building materials which are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants.
Scientists believe that a plant's leaves absorb the pollutants (污染物). In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.
64. Indoor air pollution may be more dangerous than the air outside mainly because .
A. the flow of air indoor is limited B. the building are too high
C. people don't want to waste energy D. the building materials are harmful
65. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in .
A. all kinds of offices B. all kinds of houses
C. every modern house D. every old house
66. In the last paragraph the word“ absorb” may mean .
A. give out B. bring up C. take in D. turn into
67. Scientists believe that plants can .
A. absorb pollutions and let out oxygen B. make your houses more prettier
C. absorb all the pollutants D. change pollutants into oxygen
68. According to the last paragraph, we should to clean the air.
A. plant all kinds of plant B. have different kinds of plants
C. have the same kind of plant D. plant more trees.
D
Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriage and have more respectable jobs.Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants.But in the executive(主管的)circle,beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones;their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman who is considered to be more feminine(女子气的)has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue(线索) is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently",says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人).She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men,but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
69.The word "liability" most probably means________.
A.disadvantage B.advantage C.misfortune D.trouble
70.In traditionally female jobs,attractiveness________.
A.makes women look more honest and capable
B.strengthens the feminine qualities required
C.is of great importance to women
D.often enables women to succeed quickly
71.Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics,attractiveness_______.
A.turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B.is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C.affects men and women alike
D.has as little effect on men as on women
72.The author writes this passage to________.
A.give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B.discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C.demand equal rights for women
D.stats the importance of appearance
E
1970 was World Conservation (自然保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve”nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1, 300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask“What must we do now?”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called“No one's going to change our world”. It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.
73.“No one's going to change our world”was .
A.an important book published in 1970
B.an idea that nobody would accept
C.a record calling on people to conserve nature
D.a rule worked out by the United Nations
74.What is the most important thing for us to do to save our world?
A.We should plant more trees and flowers.
B.We should clean the banks of our rivers.
C.We should know what will happen in the future.
D.We should know what we must do and begin to do it now.
75.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.1970 was World Conservation Year.
B.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger.
C.Conservation is necessary.
D.It is the young people who are helping to save our world.

书面表达：
Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. When he was a boy, he liked to ask questions. By the time he was 14, he had taught himself advanced mathematics. Just at that time he made up his mind to be a physicist and devote himself to science.
His family, however, were poor, but his parents did manage first to send him to a technical school, then to the Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland. He received his doctor's degree at the University of Zurich in 1905. It was then that he first began to do the research work which led to his famous Theory of Relativity.
Einstein was one of the greatest scientists in the world.
