The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars. Scientists h
14、ave always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.

15、cket. I am sure that you are asking, How does a rocket fly? if you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go!

16、hrough neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an airplane. This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket
17、 which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air. Rockets can fly fat out into space.

Passage 2In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yet, when one becomes rich, he w
21、ants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young America
22、n by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. But just mov
23、ing there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race becaus
24、e one was always trying keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things
25、 just to keep up with their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you
26、. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

27、ple want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world.

31、 develop characteristics that help them cope with their environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation. Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and
32、 in producing and protecting the young. That results in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments.Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant, for example, depends upon
33、 its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. It depends upon its green leaves for using the suns energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of p
34、lants have.Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still
35、when an enemy is near.Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. They may adapt in their structure, function, and genetics; in their development and production of the young; and in other respects. An organism may create its own environment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability
36、 to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions. 1
37、. Some plants and animals develop superior characteristics so that they may( C )A) help others of their kind get food, shelter and other things needed.B) survive even in extremely severe conditions.C) become better adapted to the environments than others of their kind.D) result in the evolution and

But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives. Insid
41、e, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded(填塞) from floor to ceiling ,it looked a bit strange. There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded walls illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out apart from a few at the back where the young sci
42、entists quickly took their places with a look of fear. For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditio
43、ns. For the next two hours, the flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lose its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before rushing towards Earth. The invention was to achieve weightlessness for a few seconds. The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and th
44、e young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45 degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then the engines cut our and we became weightless. Everything became confused and left or right, up or down no
45、 longer had any meaning. After ten seconds of free-fall descent (下降) the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive. The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss, but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump. Each time the pilot cut the engines and we b
46、ecame weightless, a new team conducted its experiment. First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet. Then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space stati
47、on. The Americans had an idea to create solar sails that could be used by satellites. After two hours of going up and down in the lane doing their experiments, the predominant feeling was one of excitement rather than sickness. Most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat.5. What did the writer say about the plane?. ( D )A) It had no seats. B) It was painted whit
