It was a bit of an impromptu (即兴的）36 . I had a French test 37 and knew that the examiner, Mr. Hutchison, would ask me about my career plans. I had to e up with something that was both credible and easily 38 into French.About six years earlier I truly had bee 39 about the night sky, but to stand up and say, “Astronomie!” was not enough. Mr. Hutchison would want 40 . I recalleda et that had recently been discovered from Japan-one that 41 became the brightest of the 20th century. Without a further thought, I decided that I was going to be a 42 for ets. Not coincidentally, the English and French words for a et (une te) sound very 43, so my new occupation was 44 to talk about in French.And 45 to the answer I gave Mr. Hutchison, I began searching for cornels after graduation. Fortunately, working as a science journalist and giving lectures about the night sky have allowed me to 46 my cosmic passion and still pay the bills.Discovering my first cornet 47 almost 19 years.

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked pletely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip （掷） a coin. Headsthe mander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!56. Why was the author confused about the task? A. He was unfamiliar with American history B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin C. He forgot his teachers instruction D. He was new at the school57. In the end, the author turned things around _ A. by redoing his taskB. through his own efforts C. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterBShiny things absorb less heat when left in the sun. This means that if the Earth could be made a little shinier it would be less likely to suffer global warming. Ways to brighten it, such as adding nanoscale specks（纳米级） of salt to low clouds, making them whiter, or putting a thin haze of particles into the stratosphere（平流层）, are the field of “geoengineering”（地球工程）. A small band of scientists which have mostly been using puter models to study the subject. Some of them are now proposing outdoor experimentsusing seawater-fed sprayers to churn out particles of the exact size needed to brighten clouds, or scattering sulphur particles（硫粒子） from underneath a large balloon 20km up in the sky.The scientists hope to understand some of the processes on which these technologies depend, as a way of both measuring their possibility (can you reliably make the proper amount of sea salt brighten clouds?) and assessing their risks (how much damage to the ozone layer might a stratospheric haze do, and how might such damage be minimized?). The experiments would be far too small to have any climatic effects. The amount of sulphur put into the stratosphere by the experimental balloon would be 2% of what a passenger jet crossing the Atlantic emits in an hour.However, many scientists doubt whether geoengineering experiments have any effects. And some environmentalists say that such experiments reflect the hubris（傲慢）of humans, who believe they can toy with nature.Geoengineering is not an alternative to relieving climate change by cutting carbon emissions. Even if emissions do start to fall, the cuts will lake decades to have any effect so temperatures are likely to go on rising for some time. The planet is not getting cooler and the pressures on the climate are unlikely to go away. It is therefore not too hard to imagine a world, decades from now, in which emissions are falling but temperatures are rising steeply and the ability to adapt to them has been stretched too far. An additional way to stabilize temperatures might then seem appropriate. Geoengineering offers that possibility.58. The geoengineering climate experiment would hardly take any climate effect because .A. scientists arent sure whether sea salt can brighten clouds B. geoengineering would minimize the damage to the ozone layerC. the amount of sulphur emitted by a balloon is very smallD. a passenger jet emits much more sulphur than a balloon does59. Even if carbon emission is reduced right away, .A. global warming will be relieved B. climatic pressure will be removedC. the temperature will remain stable D. global warming will last for years60. We can infer from the passage that .A. passenger jets are a major cause of global warmingB. scientists dont show due respect for the environmentC. geoengineering is better than cutting carbon emissionsD. cutting emissions isnt enough to relieve climate changeCTens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of Frances most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International mittee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they cant take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors cant see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be pletely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumleys idea isnt ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesnt seem to be possible to get the government support.”In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain bees easier to reach tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You cant say the plan cant go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we dont take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”61. Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain_.A. do not believe the drawings are old. B. believe they are allowed to paint thereC. think the drawings should be left alone D. think the drawings will not disappear62. Henry de Lumley is eager to _.A. set up research projects B. protect public rightsC. keep out individual visitors D. ban traffic in the area63. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mont Bego, scattered with gods and goddesses, is a place for worship.B The old drawings are being ruined mainly by natural forces.C. Currently, admission to the site with the old drawings is free.D. Now tourists have easier access to the mountain due to public transport.64. This passage about Mont Bego is intended to _.A. advertise the closing of the site B. warn visitors about the dangers of the siteC. encourage scientists to visit the site D. describe fears for the future of the siteDJohn Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owners name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldnt matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting -7:00 PM at the Great Central Station in New York. “Youll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose Ill be wearing on my
