Passage One
Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milk Way? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye. They would have to sleep for years.
European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.
What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don't age. They have now moved on to small, non-hibernating mammals like rats. The results will be out by the end of 2009.
A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex.
"It's like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy's University of Pavia.
Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person's metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.
Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system.
There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter's moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six humans on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.
21. European researchers are conducting hibernation experiments to ______.
A. ensure astronauts to get a complete sleep
B. find the secret of some creatures
C. make preparations for the journey to Jupiter's moon Callisto
D. know if man can sleep for years
22.The sentence "What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely" means ______.
A.Science fiction is people’s imagination.
B.Science fiction is imaginative,but it can be realized.
C.Things seem impossible may come true.
D.Things described in science fiction are sure to become true.
23.The passage implies but doesn’t states that ______.
A.putting living cells into a sleep-like state is full of failure
B.Biggiogera is not confident enough with the experiment
C.human’s hibernmation needs no energy
D.medical research is the key to space flight hibernation system
24.By designing a suitable protective shelter,astronauts can______.
A.have a good hibernation
B.1essen the pressure of traveling in space
C.feed themselves in spaceship
D.monitor their body changes
25.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Six humans to fly to Callisto
B.Human hibernation improves health
C.Space travel attracts people
D.Deep sleep for deep space travel
Passage Two
Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house.So far as the children were concerned,they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination.He stirred Maggie’s anger,however,So that she often said to her husband,"It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.’’
In fact James came once a year,unexpectedly,around eight o’clock in the evening,and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother.His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed.Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them.He took no notice of them,as if he was unable to see children,at least until the time came for him to go.Instead,after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, "You'll be getting on with the supper, Maggie." Such was his regard for her.
Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James' voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o'clock.
Maggie's children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother's words, " lost two wives and taken a third, "They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.
26. The underlined word "mercy" in the text most probably means ______.
A. loss
B. wonder
C. lucky thing
D. terrible thing
27. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because ______.
A. he was a man difficult to please
