But one knows, from past experience in other areas, 56 man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our 57 (science) knowledge, and this new knowledge will find 58 way into valuable practical uses. 59 we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, 60 from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developedto carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are diverse. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be almost impossible.、 阅读（共两节，满分40分） 第一节阅读理解（共15小题，满分30分）A Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around atany giventime. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion. Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want toworkor are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social, security cheeks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often go on welfare if they have a serious illness. When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves; they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply dumping groundsfor the dying in which care is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.61. The author believes that the population explosion results from A. an increase in birthrates B. the industrial development C. a decrease in death rates D. human beings cultural advances62. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures A. it was a moral responsibility for families to keep alive the aged who Could not work B. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation C. old people had to impart the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generations D. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life63. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the US is TRUE? A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough. B. A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement. C. When they reach a certaltain age, compulsory retirement is necessary and beneficial. D. With the growing inflation, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever. 64. The underlined phrase this need in paragraph 3 refers to A. prolonging the dying old peoples lives B. reducing the problems caused by the retired people C. making profits through caring for the sick or weak people D. taking care of the sick or weak people65. Which of the following best describes the authors attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals? A. Sympathetic. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.B WASHINGTON-Its a great achievement that inspires notions of robots withconsciousness and independent minds. When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. However, a recently made robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage. The new robot, which looks like a splay-legged, four-footed starfish can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places. There is a need for planetary robotic rovers (漫游者) to able to fix things on their own, says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Vermont who is one of the devices creator. Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission .without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back Earth. A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robots movements and signals to its built-in computer. From the formation it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robots the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking-it used three legs instead of four. The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One pellicle (薄膜)spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea terrain (地带) might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. We never officially named the robot, but usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,says Bongard. Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again?Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery. 66. The newly designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it A. can communicate with people on the earth about their problems B. works according to a certain computer program C. can find its problems and solve them automatically D. can explore unfamiliar places 67. An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot A. is used to create new programs B. has typical robot functions C. has sensors to observe its movements D. can gather information and adapt to new conditions 68. The underlined word resilient in the last paragraph means . A. creative B. newly made C. able to recover D. informative 69. Which of the following is TURE about the robot Starfish? A. It was spoken highly offor its special ability. B. It will stumble and fall if damaged. C. It can grow its legs again once they are broken. D. It has started to work on the ocean floor. 70. What might be the best title 0fthe passage? A. How does-the Starfish Robot work B. Do-It-Yourself Robot Repair C. Robots Designed to Work on Other Planets D. New Robot Helping I.Is in Many WaysC We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed - no examination is perfect - but to have no external (外部的) tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in external examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the ideal and the purpose of each teacher. Without external examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them - a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is Suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate shows the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if external examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be aprisoner of his or her schools fame, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school. The opponents of the examination, system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they Show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different; academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The Selection would be made by
