2、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was ____ American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

C.all

D.every

3、What Is the Coolest Gas in the Universe?What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was -91℃ which occurred in Antarctica in 1983.We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in space Temperatures in Earth orbit actually range from about +120℃ to -120℃. The temperature depends upon _____ you are in direct sunlight ｏｒshade, Obviously, -120℃ is colder than our body can safely endure. Thank NASA science fｏｒwell-designed space suits that protect astronauts from these temperature extremes.The space temperatures just discussed affect only our area of the solar system . Obviously, it is hotter closer to the Sun ａｎｄ　colder as we travel away from the Sun. Astronomers estimate temperatures at Pluto are about -210℃. How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your location. We are taught it is supposedly impossible to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is -273℃, at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, whose names are Cornell ａｎｄ　Wieman, have successfully cooled down a gas temperature barely above absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 fｏｒtheir work not a discovery in this car.Why is the two scientists\' work so important to science?In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting theory about particles we now call photons. Bose had trouble convincing Other scientists to believe so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein\'s calculations helped him theorize would behave as Bose thought but only at very cold temperatures.Scientists have also discovered that ultra-cold atoms can help them make the world\'s atomic clocks even more accurate. These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second every six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time(d=vxt). With the long distances involved in space travel to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.【单选题】

A.whether

B.where

C.what

D.when

正确答案:A

答案解析:上下文的意思是：地球轨道上的温度是介乎+120℃至-120℃之间。温度的变化取决于是向阳还是背阳。whether是“是否”的意思，所以是本题的答案。

4、Operatunity1. Operatunity is a TV talent show fｏｒamateur opera singers, The winners get the chance to sing with the English National Opera. When two housewives, Denise Leigh ａｎｄ　Jane Gilchrist won in 2002, their lives changed forever, As they sang Verdi\'s Rigoletto at the Coliseum (音乐厅) in Rome, they were transformed from working mothers into opera celebrities (名人).2. "I live in the village I was born in," says Denise, who is blind. "Lots of my neighbours are family, ａｎｄ　my life is all about my three children. Jane, who worked as a cleaner ａｎｄ　a shop assistant, was in a similar situation." She says.

But it wasn\'t all so easy. FｏｒDenise, the worst part was waiting at the beginning. "After I\'d sent in my application form I worried fｏｒa month, Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition (试唱). That was awful." Even when they won the competition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren\'t allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise ａｎｄ　Jane also found the travelling is difficult. They couldn’t take their children with them while they were away singing, so they had to organise childcare. However, there\'s been no problem with the physical side of singing: "We didn\'t have to worry about that as we\'ve had lots of help ａｎｄ　wonderful voice training." says Jane. They also had to learn to deal with the media." The kids loved the fact that they could stay up ａｎｄ　watch us on TV, but I just couldn\'t understａｎｄ　why some newspapers were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21, rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum, says Denise.Paragraph 4 ____【单选题】

Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford\'s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line.

In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much fｏｒdoing something that didn\'t involve an awful lot of training ｏｒeducation. The Wall Street Journal called the plan "an economic crime" ａｎｄ　critics everywhere laughed at Ford.(4)But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford\'s dream to make the automobile accessible to all The critics were too stupid to understａｎｄ　that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn\'t matter, except fｏｒmaking it possible fｏｒmore people to buy cars.paragraph 2 ____【单选题】

9、Human Space ExplorationWhile scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles(航天飞机) on space station missions by2012 ａｎｄ　respond quickly to space station emergencies.The space agency released the first ｓｅｔof mission needs ａｎｄ　requirements several days ago fｏｒme orbital space plane (轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of four to ａｎｄ　from the International Space Station.Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter(轨道航天飞机) will be safer cheaper ａｎｄ　require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012 though it would be available fｏｒrescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured ｏｒill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia ａｎｄ　its seven member crew on February l, 2003.Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working fｏｒyears on a successｏｒto the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议), was divided last year into two parts----one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.The program\'s managers say NASA officials have told them not to ａｌｔｅｒSpace Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.U. S. President George W. Bush asked Congress fｏｒabout US$1 billion fｏｒSpace Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane ａｎｄ　Next Generation Launch Technology.When did NASA start working on a successｏｒto the shuttle?【单选题】
