Until the very latest moment of his existence, man has been
Bound to the planet on which he originated and developed.
Now he had the capability to leave that planet and move 【S1】______
out into the universe to those worlds which he has known
previously only directly. Men have exploited parts of the moon, 【S2】______
put spaceships in orbit around another planet and possibly within
the decade will land into another planet and explore it. Can we be 【S3】______
too bold as to suggest that we may be able to colonize other 【S4】______
planet within the no-too-distant future? Some have advocated 【S5】______
such a procedure as a solution to the population problem: ship the
excess people off to the moon. But we must keep in head the 【S6】______
billions of dollars we might spend in carrying out the project. To
maintain the earth't population at its present level, we could have
to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the
year.
Why are we spending so little money on space 【S7】______
exploration? Consider the great need for improving many aspects 【S8】______
of the global environment, one is surely justified in his

听力原文:W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard?
M: Seen what?
W: In the paper, it says there's a man going round pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he's come to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
W: It's all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you aut0matically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you.
M: Does this man have an ID then?
W: Yes, that's just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot.
M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description.
W: Oh, yes, they have. Let's see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually.
(23)
A.A notice by the electricity board.
B.Ads promoting electric appliances.
C.The description of a thief in disguise.
D.A new policy on pensioners' welfare.

听力原文:M: What's Neil going to do when he leaves school?
W: Until a few months ago he was going to go to university, but he's changed his mind. Now he reckons he's going to make it in the pop world.
M: And how do you parents feel about that?
W: We think he's making an enormous mistake.
M: But surely he can go back to his studies if his music career fails.
W: That's true, but once he gets a taste of freedom, he'll find it more difficult to go back to college. I just think it's such a waste m in three years' time, he'll have got his degree and he'll still be young enough to try out the music business. At least if it doesn't work out he'll have a qualification behind him.
M: Have you discussed this with him?
W: Of course, but he's made up his mind. We're just hoping that he'll get out of his system and then come to his sense and go back to his studies. When I left school I didn't go on to university, and I've regretted it ever since. I just don't want him to make the same mistake as I did.
M: Will you support him while he's trying to be a pop singer?
W: You mean financially? No. He won't be living at home, and we can't afford to pay for him to live in London, so it's up to him to make it work.
(20)
A.Go to university.
B.Go t6 a music school.
C.Start his music career as a pop singer.
D.Start a business in the music world.

W: Oh, yes, very much so. Now people are beginning to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that (22)there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
M: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with an employer; we tend to make an effort and put on something smart.
W: True, but that's conscious act. What I am talking about is something unconscious. For example, the student who is away from home at college or university: (23)if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecure can sometimes take the form. of overdressing in warmer clothes than necessary.
M: Can you give any other examples?
W: Yes. I think (24)people who are sociable and out-going tend to dress in an open way, preferring brighter colors.
M: Do you think the care over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
W: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man's trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are very short or having loosely, this probably means he's absorbed by other things.
(26)
A.Love for beauty and a desire to impress other people.
B.A desire to express oneself and a display of one's wealth.
C.Individual taste and love for beauty.
D.Individual taste and a desire to express oneself.

M: Oh yes, very much so. People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear, which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
W: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer.
M: True, but that's a conscious act. What I'm talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home: if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Simitarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form. of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary.
W: Can you give any other examples of this kind?
M: Yes. I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to prefer brighter or more dazzling colors -- yellows, bright reds, and so on. And aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life.
W: Do you think the care -- or lack of it -- over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
M: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man's trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are hanging down, this probably means he's absorbed by other things.
W: Oh, very interesting. Tell me more about it.
M: OK ....
(23)
A.The colors of clothing.
B.The individual taste on clothing.
C.The idea of psychology of clothing.
D.The clothing fashion.
第10题
The violent criminal has become a kind of hero-figure in our time. He is glorified on the screen; he is pursued by the press and paid vast sum of money for his "memories". Newspapers which specialize in crime reporting enjoy enormous circulations. When you read about the achievements of the great train robbers, it makes you wonder whether you are reading about some glorious resistance movement. The hardened criminal is cuddled and cosseted by the sociologists on the one hand and adored as a hero by the masses on the other. It's no wonder he is a privileged person who expects and receives VIP treatment wherever he goes. Capital punishment used to be a major deterrent. It made the violent robber think twice before pulling the trigger. It gave the cold-blooded poisoner (下毒者) something to ponder about while he was shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail. It prevented unarmed policemen from being killed while pursuing their duty by killers armed with automatic weapons. Above all, it protected the most vulnerable members of society, young children, from brutal violence. It is horrifying to think that the criminal can literally get away with murder. We all know that "life sentence" does not mean what it says. After ten years or so of good conduct, the most desperate villain is free to' return to society where he will live very comfortably, on the proceeds of his crime, or he will go on committing offences until he is caught again. People are always willing to hold liberal views at the expense of others. It's always fashionable to pose as the defender of the under-dog, so long as you, personally, remain unaffected. Did the defenders of crime, in their desire for fair play, consult the victims before they suspended capital punishment? Hardly, because all the victims were dead.
According to the passage, which of the following is the author's opinion?
A.All criminals should be required to carry cards read: "Fragile: Handle with Care."
B.Capital punishment is the only way to deter criminals.
C.Society is to blame.
D.All criminals need hospital treatment.
