| 第1题：When imaginative men turn their eyes towards space and wonder whether life exists in any part of it, they may cheer themselves by remembering that life need not resemble closely the life that exists onEarth. Mars looks like the only planet where life like ours could exist, and even this is doubtful.But there may be other kinds of life based on other kinds of chemistry, and they may multiply on Venus or Jupiter.At least we cannot prove at present that they do not. Even more interesting is the possibility that life on their planets may be in a more advanced stage of evolution. Present-day man is in a peculiar and probably temporary stage. His individual units retain a strong sense of personality. They are, in fact, still capable under favorable circumstances of leading individual lives.But man s societies are already sufficiently developed to have enormously more power and effectiveness than the individuals have. It is not likely that this transitional situation will continue very long on the evolutionary time scale. Fifty thousand years from now man s societies may have become so close-knit that the individuals retain no sense of separate personality. Then little distinction will remain between the organic parts of the multiple organism and the inorganic parts (machines) that have been constructed by it. A、million years further on man and his machines may have merged as closely as the muscles of the human body and the nerve cells that set them in motion. The explorers of space should be prepared for some such situation. If they arrive on a foreign planet that has reached an advanced stage (and this is by no means impossible), they may find it being inhabited by a single large organism composed of many closely cooperating units. The units may be "secondary"—machines created millions of years ago by a previous form of life and given the will and ability to survive and reproduce. They may be built entirely of metals and other durable (耐用的) materials. If this is the case, they may be much more tolerant of their environment, multiplying under conditions that would destroy immediately any organism made of carbon compounds and dependent on the familiar carbon cycle. Such creatures might be relics of a past age, many millions of years ago, when their planet was favorable to the origin of life, or they might be immigrants from a favored planet. Humans onEarth today are characterized by ______. A、their existence as free and separate beings B、their capability of living under favorable conditions C、their great power and effectiveness D、their strong desire for living in a close-knit society |

| 第5题： Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices markedA,B,C、andD、 Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep {{U}} (54) {{/U}} available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is {{U}} (55) {{/U}} when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory {{U}} (56) {{/U}} not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines.Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer {{U}} (57) {{/U}} that of a human being. The in stant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100 000 "words" —ready for {{U}} (58) {{/U}} use.An averageAmerican teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100 000 words ofEnglish. However, this is but a fraction of the total {{U}} (59) {{/U}} of information which the teenager has storeD、Consider, for example, the number of facts and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A、large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and {{U}} (60) {{/U}} of words. |
