【題目】“Hello, Earth! Can you hear me?” That’s voice more than 400,000 people received recently. It was from Philae, a space vehicle that landed on a comet(彗星)in 2014. However, its transmissions (傳輸信號)back home went silent since then.

It took a 1ong time for Philae to make its way across the solar system (太陽系)and reach comet 67P/C-G. The pace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探測器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014.

Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. And for about two and a half days after landing, it did just that, sending the information back to scientists on Earth. But Philae’s landing on the comet’s icy surface had not been smooth. While touching down, it jumped up and ended up in the shadow of something like a huge rock. Philae runs on solar power, but there was no light in the place where it landed. In the end, it failed to work.

However,as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online. Philae then sent something to Rosetta, which passed on the information back to Earth.

“We only received the information for about 85 seconds, but that’s enough to let us know it is alive and well,”says Stephan Ulamec, who works for the European Space Agency.“We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet. Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions.”

1Hearing Philae’s voice,those people must have felt_______________.

A. afraid B. calm

C. excited D. worried.

2According to the text, Philae_______________.

A. was damaged when it landed

B. moved around comet 67P/C-G

C. needs light and gas to keep working

D. helps scientists learn about a comet

3What Stephan says in the text suggests that ____________.

A. Rosetta will move around another comet

B. Philae will continue to work for scientists

C. most comets are as wide as four kilometers

D. he wonders whether Philae is still alive

4What does the author mainly talk about in the text?

A. A sleeping space vehicle wakes up.

B. It is very dangerous to travel in space.

C. A new comet was discovered recently.

D. Philae was sent into space successfully.

Dogs wag (搖擺) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras.To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years old.The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University.The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow them to view various stimuli.They were tested one at a time.

The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—their tails wagged energetically to the right side.When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm.The appearance of a cat again caused a righthand side wag, although with less intensity again.The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left.Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back.When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company.While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs.Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

【1】The video cameras were used to catch the dogs' responses because ________.

A.it was easier to catch the dogs' response changes in the tail wagging

B.the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time

C.they enabled the dogs' owners to know about their dogs' habits

D.the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods

【2】The underlined word “intensity” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

Asurprise B.worry

C.excitement D.interest

【3】When there are no stimuli, a dog will ________.

A.wag to the left

B.wag to the right

C.not wag at all

D.wag to the left and then to the right

【4】The underlined word “they” in the last sentence refers to ________.

A.the dogs B.the trainers

C.the systems D.the researchers

【5】The purpose of doing the experiment is ________.

A.to train dogs for their owners

B.to help people judge the mood of dogs

C.to help dogs find company

【題目】How and when did Australia begin? It is believed that Australian history began at the end of the eighteenth century. After several centuries of European Voyaging in the southern oceans, the English naval officer James Cook sailed the eastern coast in 1770, named it New South Wales and took control of it in the name of his king.

Within twenty years, the British government sent a team of explorers to settle in New South Wales. On 26 January 1788, its commander, Arthur Phillip, began to rule over the eastern half of the country. The thousand officers, soldiers, officials, and prisoners who got off from the eleven ships of the First Fleet, anchored (停泊) in the port of Sydney. They prepared the way for later immigrants who spread out over the continent.

This is the story of a sleep land brought to life by Endeavour, the name given to Cook’s ship and the quality given to those who followed him.

The newcomers brought with them some animals, plants and tools. They also brought with them new ideas. That achievement in turn shaped what Australia is now.

【題目】Do you want to travel to cool places, meet foreigners, and learn a foreign language? If you want, consider a study-abroad program. No matter what country you live in, you can learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.

Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music. Andrew was a student who once studied in France. He said, “I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.”

Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people. The city is different from her hometown. Christina said she learned how to express herself in another language. That made her more confident.

Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. Matthew said he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and practical knowledge. “After studying abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be easy. Being 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly daunting(使人畏縮的) after having lived thousands of miles away.”

1How many reasons for studying abroad are mainly discussed in this text?

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

2The example of Andrew is used to show that _______.

A. you can study art in France

B. you can learn French when travelling

C. you may have more chances to talk with foreigners

D. you can experience local cultures

3What’s the purpose of this article?

A. To tell stories of English speakers.

B. To introduce study abroad program

C. To list advantages of traveling abroad.

D. To persuade people to join in a study-abroad program.
