BStephen Hawking, the brilliant British theoretical physicist v ho published wildly popular books exploring the mysteries of the universe, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 76. Considered by many to be the worlds greatest living scientist, Hawking was also a cosmologist, astronomer, mathematician and author of numerous books including the landmark “A Brief History of Time, ”which has sold more than 10 million copies. With fellow physicist Roger Penrose, Hawking bined Einsteins theory of relativity with quantum theory(量子理论) to suggest that space and time would begin with the Big Bang and end in black holes. He also discovered that black holes were not pletely black but emit(释放) radiation and would likely eventually evaporate(蒸发) and disappear. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next 100 years, let alone next thousand, or million. The human race shouldnt have all its eggs in one basket or on one plant. Lets hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load.”Hawking suffered from ALS (amyotrophic latcral sclerosis), a disease which is usually deadly within a few years. He was diagnosed in 1963, w hen he was 21, and doctors initially gave him only a few years to live. The disease left Hawking wheelchairbound and paralyzed. He was able to move only a few fingers on one hand and was pletely dependent on others or on technology for everythingbathing, dressing, eating, even speech. “I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope.”Dramatically, he even gueststarred in the “Star Trek”, “The Simpsons”and the 20 14 movie “The theory of Everything”. Hawking leaves behind three children and three grandchildren. “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today, ”Hawkings children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, said in a statement. “He w as a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. “We w ill miss him forever.”24. From the passage, we can learn that .A. Haw king was diagnosed with the fatal disease since he was born. B. Hawking was once the main character in the movie and TV series. C. Haw king just published one book titled “A Brief History of Time”D. Haw king had to rely on other people and technology to do everything in life. 25. Which of the following is NOT believed by Stephen Hawking?A. The space and time would end in black holes. B. Black holes are not exactly black in color. C. The disasters can be avoided in the next thousand or million years. D. Black holes can give off radiation and will disappear in the end. 26. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. The humans should explore other planets to live. B. The humans should stay together to fight the disasters. C. The earth will be destroyed if humans continue to live hereD. No other planets can replace the earth as the living place. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. A Star Just Went Out in the UniverseB. The Achievements of Stephen HawkingC. Stephen Hawkings Suffering of the DiseaseD. The Predictions of the Great ManCSmokers may ignore the health warnings by telling themselves their habit makes them look cool. After all, sex symbols James Dean and Humphrey Bogart were rarely seen without a cigarette. However, the latest evidence shows that smoking actually makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Wrinkles from smoking a cigarette may be to blame for people judging non-smokers to be better-looking.This was the result of a study asking more than 500 people to pick the most attractive of twins where one smoked and the other did not. Men found female non-smokers the most attractive in two-thirds of cases, while women chose non-smoking men as the most attractive 68 percent of the time.Professor Ian Penton-Voak, a co-author of the study from Bristol University, said, “People assume that smoking causes damage to the skin and appearance, but this is a really neat way of looking at it because these twins are genetically identical, so we can control for genetic factors involved in ageing. Appearance seems to be important to people, especially young people, so we could use these sorts of findings as a basis for future interventions to stop people smoking. ”Smoking can speed up the normal ageing, even after only a decade. Nicotine causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, while the chemicals in tobacco smoke damage collagen and elastin, fibres which give the skin its elasticity (弹性). The wrinkles this causes are added to by facial expressions made when smoking such as pursing the lips when inhaling (吸气) or squinting (眯眼睛) to keep smoke out of your eyes. 28. Why does the author mention James Dean and Humphrey Bogart?A. To persuade smokers to give up smoking. B. To pare them with non-smokers. C. To tell us many people are influenced by them. D. To show understanding and fort smokers. 29. What can we learn from Para. 2 and Para. 3?A. 500 twins were surveyed for the study. B. Probably young people pay more attention to their appearance. C. Female non-smokers are more attractive than male ones. D. Professor Ian Penton-Voak is the leading author of the study. 30. What is Professor Ian Penton-Voaks altitude to smoking?A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Unconcerned. D. Cautious. 31. What can be inferred from the text?A. Smokers look cooler than non-smokers. B. Smoking may speed up skins ageing. C. Smokers look younger than non-smokers. D. Smoking should be banned right away. DLooking fashionable feels good. However, did you know that doing so could be extremely bad for the planet?Making clothes requires lots of energy. For example, cotton fields have to be watered. Jeans must be dyed(染色) and then dried. According to scientists, making1kilogram of clothes produces 23 kilograms of greenhouse gases on average. However, clothes are spending less time in shops and at homes than ever. Consumers today keep almost every article of clothing only half as long as they did 15 years ago. That causes a large amount of waste. Some clothing panies and designers have realized this problem. H&M, for example, was the worlds largest buyer of “better cotton”last year. The cotton needs less water to grow. It also requires fewer pesticides (农药). The Swedish brand has also stopped using a chemical that pollutes the environment when making waterproof(防水的) clothes. Nike, meanwhile, has invented a new method of making shoes. It reduces waste by 60 percent pared with traditional cutting and sewing. More long lasting clothes could help, too. Tom Cridland is a British designer. The clothes that he designs all go through a special treatment. Cridland says they can last more than 30 years. Unfortunately, not all clothing panies and designers, think they should be responsible for the environment. Some panies do not care about their carbon footprint at all. What can we do? In some western schools, students are encouraged to fix their jackets and trousers. Clothing panies there send vans to campuses to help them do it. Another solution is to think twice the next time we buy new clothes. Some clothes may not look very fashionable, but they could be good for our planet. 32. According to the passage, making 50 kilograms of clothes produces about kilograms of greenhouse gases. A. 23. B. 115. C. 230. D. 1,150. 33. W hat is the difference between “better cotton”and traditional cotton?A. “Better cotton”can grow without water. B. “Better cotton”grows faster than traditional cotton. C. “Better cotton”is more environmentally friendly. D. “Better cotton”is more productive than traditional cotton. 34. In order to protect the environment, what have some clothing panies and designers been doing?Using new material. Helping students mend clothes. Measuring their carbon footprint. Designing clothes that can last longer. A. B. C. D. 35. What does the author advise us to do in order to help protect the environment?A. To stop buying clothes;B. To wear fewer clothes at home. C. To ask clothing panies for help when our clothes are torn. D. To buy clothes made by panies that care about their carbon footprint. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A new study suggests that the timing of a wound affects the speed at which it heals(愈合). Wounds suffered during the day heal around 60 percent faster than those at night. The study showed how the bodys circadian rhythm(昼夜节律) controlled the healing of wounds. 36 It tells our bodies when to wake up, eat and sleep in a cyclea series of activities that repeat themselves day after day. 37In the study, researchers found that skin cells moved faster to repair wounds suffered during the day. Their findings were published in the journal Science Transnational Medicine. The researchers examined cells, mice, and burn injury databases. 38 Night-time burns-burns suffered between 8 oclock at night and 8 oclock the next morningwere 95percent healed after an average of 28 days. But after an average of 17 days, daytime burns-burns suffered between 8 oclock in the morning and 8 oclock at nightwere 95 percent healed. 39Wounds are very costly to treat, 40 In Britains National Health Services, for example, such services cost around $6.56 billion per year. Experts say the high costs result, in part, from a lack of drugs that speed up the closure of wounds. A. Each cycle lasts about 24 hours. B. The circadian rhythm is like a clock or timer. C. Specifically their investigation found the following information:D. The new studys findings could help scientists develop better drugs. E. In other words, nigh-time injuries took an average of 11days longer to healF. Worldwide, billions of dollars are spent every year on wound-treatment services. G. Thats what a group of researchers from a university in Canada recently published. 第三部分 完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1. 5分，满分. 30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。From the start, I sensed something special about my brother Joe.Bing premature(早产), he spent his first few41 in an incubator (恒温箱).
