科目: 來源: 題型:

  When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Be?fore they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at " bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my ad?vice,but they came back with some funny stories.

  "We didn't stay at ' bed and breakfast' houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

  I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought " VACANCIES" meant "holidays" , because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said " VACAN?CIES",which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said " NO VACANCIES" ,because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Span?ish,the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

  English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more,however,to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No,thank you." 

(   ) 5. What is the passage mainly about?

A.     Some funny stories caused by the languages.

B.     Someone's experience in England.

C.     The strange behavior of English people.

D.     English and Spanish.

(   ) 6. I suggested that they stay at "bed and breakfast" houses because_____________________ •

A.     they would be able to practise their English

B.     it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C.     it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D.     there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

(   ) 7. If you see a road sign that says "DIVERSION" in England, you will      

A.     end in a large hold

B.     have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C.     find that the road is closed forever

D.     have to take a different road

(   ) 8. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I .

A.     hadn't finished drinking my coffee

B.     was expecting another cup of coffee

C.     meant that I didn't want any more

D.     was never misunderstood

 Planet 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(太陽的)systems where life might exist," he says. "I decided to try to find planets orbiting(沿............. 軌道運行)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 our patience paid off.”

  Since then,the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbit?ing 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(像木星一樣的)planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.

  At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the sci?entists 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 sun.

  Why is this important? Scientists think that life on the earth may exist because of two spe?cial features(特征)in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.

  "Because it's 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 the earth would likely have been destroyed.”

  A second feature is that the earth is a rocky planet where liquid water,which is necessary for life,can exist. Unlike gas planets,rocky planets like the earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas,which may support life. A huge space exists between 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 life!"

(   ) 1. 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.

(   ) 2. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?

A.     The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.

B.     The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.

C.     The planet proves to be a gas planet.

D.     The planet is as large as Jupiter.

(   ) 3. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because      

A.     he has found the system similar to the solar system

B.     he has discovered an Earth-like planet there

C.     he has discovered a rocky planet there

D.     he has found signs of life in the system

(   ) 4. "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 progress
