Terraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if it’s a good idea?
Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.
In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars.
There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, it’s an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (異己的) civilizations on other planets.
Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.
小題1:.
. According to the context, what’s the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?
A.The act of discussing something with a group of people.
B.The act of studying and researching.
C.The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.
D.The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.
小題2:.
Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?
A.They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.
B.They gradually came to find the idea crazy.
C.They thought the idea would never come true.
D.They had few resources for further study on this topic.
小題3:.
. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?
A.Even if we don’t succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understand technologies such as climate and weather control.
B.Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.
C.Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.
D.As the resources on Earth are being drained, it’s very urgent to study how to migrate (遷移) to other planets。
小題4:.
What’s the main idea of the article?
A.It’s highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program.
B.Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have many reasons to support such studies.
C.Terraforming other planets is the best option for human being’s future.
D.More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation.

Thanks to the huge success of Harry Potter, many teenagers dream about living in an ancient castle. These dreams may include beautiful silk dresses, delicious food, servants and of course, magic. However, real life in an English castle was not easy. With thick stonewalls and high towers, castles were built for defence(防御). So they were not good places to live in. In medieval times, castles must have been noisy and smelly places. Horses, cattle, chickens and sheep walked free, blacksmiths did ironwork, soldiers practised sword (劍) fights, and children of all ages played around them. Castles did not have central heating; the only heat came from the fireplace. Even in summer the castle was cool. People living in the castles had to use blankets to keep warm while at work.
Life during the Middle Ages began at sunrise. Servants lit the fire, swept the floor and cooked the morning meal. The mid-morning meal was the main meal of the day and often included three or four courses (一道菜). After dinner, everyone continued his or her work. The owner of the castle, the lord, sometimes took his guests hunting or shooting. His wife, the lady, spent much of the day watching the maids (女仆) work, as well as people working in the kitchen. She also kept an eye on the weavers and embroiderers who made clothes for the family. Supper was simple and eaten late, just before bedtime.
You may find some old magic books in a castle as Harry Potter once did. Read them before you go to bed, because when you fall asleep the magic of castle life may appear before your eyes.
小題1: For what purpose were the castles built in England?
A.To defend the city or country against enemies.
B.To provide a working place for blacksmiths.
C.To raise poultry (家禽) and livestock (家畜).
D.To provide a place for teenagers to learn magic.
小題2: Why were the ancient castles noisy?
A.Because soldiers practiced sword fights there.
B.Because blacksmiths did ironwork there.
C.Because children of all ages played around them.
D.All of the above.
小題3: Which of the following about family life in castles is true according to the passage?
A.The servants in castles lived an easy life.
B.The wife spent much of the day at home.
C.Supper was eaten before sunset.
D.Dinner was eaten in the middle of the day.
小題4:The main idea of this passage is ______.
A.castles were not good places to live in
B.castles in novels are different from those in history
C.Harry Potter's story in a castle affected people
D.what real life was like in an ancient castle

Inaugural Address-John F. Kennedy
delivered 20 January 1961
We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe–the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge—and more…
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
小題1:
What should friends and foes know?
A.That the United States is powerful.
B.That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.
C.That the United States is governed by liberals.
D.That the rights of man come from the hand of God.
小題2:
What is Kennedy’s promise to the world?
A.To support liberty.B.To abolish all forms of human poverty.
C.To visit each country at least once.D.To support any friend.
小題3:
What should citizens of the world ask of America?
A.How America can help them.
B.If America plans to invade their country.
C.What they can do for freedom.
D.What they can do for America.
小題4:
Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.
B.We should remember we are the first revolution.
C.Our nation has always been committed to human rights.
D.We should assure the survival and the success of liberty.
