第一节(共16小题;每小题2分,满分32分)
A
There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星). Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan,named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years away.
Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.
“We have come to the conclusion,based on last week’s satellite landing,” Prof.Zog said, “that there is no life on Earth.”
“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked. “For one thing,Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there.For another,the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”
“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?” “We shall have to take our own oxygen with us,which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned.”
“Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?” “Take a look at this photo.You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth.We don’t know what it is made of,but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”
“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river,but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.This means we shall have to carry our own water,which will add even greater weight to the saucer.”
“If all you say is true,won’t this set back the flying saucer program several years?”
3
“Yes,but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds,” Professor. Zog replied.
29. According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about .
A. the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth B. the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucer C. the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to Earth
D. the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan
30. Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program?
A. Because they need it on their way to the planet of Earth. B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with deadly gases. C. Because there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians. D. Because there is no air on the planet of Earth. 31. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soon B. Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollution C. it’s unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at present D. pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there 32. Where can you probably read such a passage? A. In a popular magazine. B. In a fairy tale. C. In an observation journal. D. In science fiction.

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
4
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program’s founder, said:“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we’ve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop,it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said, “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. 33. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to . A. train staff for world-famous firms B. offer job opportunities to young adults C. provide youth with unique experiences D. equip the unemployed with different skills
34. According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to .
A. the lack of support from firms
