Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.

Being alone in outer space can be   36  . That is one reason why astronauts on solo(單獨(dú)的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them   37  . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.   38  , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潛水艇) voyages. It will also happen on  39  space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?

Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of  40  is. When men are  41  together for a long period, they begin to feel   42   . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very   43  .

Apparently, although no one wants to be  44  all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of  45  or stress.

People who are well-adjusted are able to   46  stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in   47  our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

We learned that fossil fuels were formed before and during the time of the dinosaurs(恐龍). We are using up the fuels. We can save fossil fuels by protecting and finding ways to use energy from “endless sources”, like the sun and the wind. Some people suggest that we should start using hydrogen(氫).

Hydrogen is a colorless, smell-less gas that takes up 75 percent of the whole universe. Hydrogen is found on earth only in mixture with other elements such as oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. To use hydrogen, we must separate it from these other elements.

Hydrogen can be used in NASA’s space program as fuel for the spaceships, and in fuel cells that provide heat, electricity and drinking water for astronauts. Fuel cells are devices that directly change hydrogen into electricity. In the future, hydrogen could be used to fuel vehicles and aircraft and provide power for our homes and offices.

Hydrogen can be made from natural gas. An electrical current can also be used to separate water into its elements of oxygen and hydrogen. Some plants in the sea and bacteria(細(xì)菌) give off hydrogen through sunlight under certain conditions.

Hydrogen as a fuel is high in energy. Yet a machine that burns pure hydrogen produces almost zero pollution. NASA has used liquid hydrogen since the 1970s to drive rockets and spacecraft into orbit. Hydrogen fuel cells power the spacecraft’s electrical systems, producing clean by-product-pure water, which the crew drinks.

56. We can get hydrogen from the following EXCEPT ______ according to the passage.

A. natural gas    B. water                     C. creature in the sea          D. bacteria

57. Why could the hydrogen be used widely in the future?

A. Because it is of high quality.               

B. Because it has no pollution. 

C. Because it is easy to get it from all kinds of ways.      

D. Because there are much hydrogen existing in the universe.

58. The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. the usage of a new energy source        B. the future energy sources

C. a new energy source -h(huán)ydrogen        D. how to get the energy source

Why 2012 was the best year ever

It may not feel like it, but 2012 has been the greatest year in the history of the world. Never has there been less hunger, less disease or more prosperity (繁榮). The West remains in the economic depression, but most developing countries are charging ahead, and people are being lifted out of poverty at the fastest rate ever recorded. The number of deaths caused by war and natural disasters is also mercifully low. We are living in a golden age.

Take global poverty as an example. In 1990, the UN announced Millennium Development Goals, the first of which was to halve the number of people in extreme poverty by 2015. It turned out this year that the target was met in 2008.

The doom-mongers (末世論者) will tell you that we cannot maintain worldwide economic growth without ruining our environment. But while the rich world’s economies grew by 6 per cent over the last seven years, fossil fuel (礦物燃料) consumption in those countries fell by 4 per cent. This remarkable achievement has nothing to do with green taxes or wind-farms. It is down to consumer demand for more efficient cars.

Advances in medicine and technology mean that people across the world are living longer. The average life span in Africa reached 55 this year. Ten years ago, it was 50. The number of people dying from Aids has been in decline for the last eight years. Deaths from malaria have fallen by a fifth in half a decade.

War has historically been human’s biggest killer. But in most of the world today, a generation is growing up that knows little of it. The Peace Research Institute in Oslo says there have been fewer war deaths in the last decade than any time in the last century.

Fifty years ago, the world was breathing a sigh of relief after the Cuban missile crisis. Young couples would discuss whether it was responsible to have children when the future seemed so dark. But now, it’s worth remembering that, in spite of all our problems, the forces of peace, progress and prosperity are prevailing (占優(yōu)勢(shì)).

1.What has caused the decrease in the fossil fuel consumption?

A. People have to pay heavier taxes on fossil fuel.

B. There are more and more renewable resources now.

C. There is a sharp decline in the number of cars.

D. People are purchasing more energy-saving cars.

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. People don’t suffer from malaria any more.

B. There were many more war deaths in the last century.

C. The young generation shows little interest in war.

D. The number of Aids-affected people is declining.

3. Which one does NOT help prove that 2012 was the best year ever?

A. Fewer natural disasters occurred.                         B. Global poverty relieved.

C. Cuban missile crisis ended.                                      D. Technology and medicine advanced.

4. The author tries to inform people that _______.

A. 2012 witnessed more advances in developed countries

B. 2012 brought us less starvation and more prosperity

C. 2012 saw economic growth as well as environmental destruction

D. 2012 provided us with a peaceful world free from conflicts
