21、There are many interconnected links between Earth and space exploration. The Earth and Space Foundation (基金会), was founded for the purposes of developing such links by field research and direct practical action.
Projects that have been supported by the Foundation include environmental projects using technologies of space exploration: satellite communications, GPS, remote sensing, advanced materials and power sources. For example, the people of Guatemala are faced with the loss of the forests on which their livelihood depends. Rather than opposing economic progress and trying to save the forests on their own strengths, one new approach is to improve the value of the forests. The Foundation has previously given a fund to a group of explorers that used remote sensing to plan eco-tourism routes in the forests of Guatemala, thus bringing income to the local populations through tourism. This novel approach is now making the protection of the forests a reasonable economic decision.
The Foundation funds many archaeological (考古学的) field projects, which reflect the contributions of the early civilization to astronomy (天文学) and space sciences. The Foundation helped fund a large archaeology project by the Society for Syrian Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. It worked with the Syrian government and used GPS and satellite imagery to locate banks of earth, or ‘tels’, containing treasures and relics of ancient civilizations. These collections are being used to build a better picture of the nature of the civilizations that gave birth to astronomy.
Field research also applies the Earth’s environmental and biological resources to the human exploration and settlement of space. This may include the use of remote environments on Earth, as well as physiological and psychological studies in harsh environments. In one research project, the Foundation gave financial support to an international caving expedition to study the psychology of explorers in caves in Mexico for a period of time. The results of the tests were used by the NASA Johnson Space Center to improve US astronaut selection standard. Besides, a Mars-like programme has been launched in one area in the Arctic, whose environment is similar to the Mars’, to test communications and exploration technologies in preparation for the human exploration of Mars.
【1】What do we know about the novel approach in the Guatemala project?
A．It opposed the development of economy.
B．It reduced the impact of tourists on the forests.
C．It showed that preserving the forests can be profitable.
D．It gave the Foundation greater control over the forests.
【2】Why were GPS and satellite imagery used in the Syrian project?
A．To explore land that is hard to reach.
B．To find ancient items buried under the earth.
C．To limit the impact of archaeological activity.
D．To rebuild the picture of all the civilizations.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The space environment is as tough as the environment on Earth.
B．It is unlikely to test the technologies needed to explore Mars on Earth.
C．The length of time in caves certainly leads to the best astronaut selection standard.
D．Space-like environments on Earth may help us understand how to operate in the space.
【4】What is the writer’s purpose in the passage?
A．To encourage people to explore the space.
B．To introduce the function of the Foundation.
C．To persuade people to study the caves.
D．To show the importance of space exploration.
22、Starting from 1710, a public land, the New Hope area has a storied history. It began as a trading post. By the 1940s, New Hope’s name in the arts became legendary, for many writers of plays, directors and actors travelled through its busy streets. This tradition continues today. Hollywood and New York-based producers steal away to the community’s varied streets on weekends and holidays.
In response to this cultural environment, businessman and writer D.F. Whipple, decided to set up the New Hope film festival and became active on January 1, 2009. Whipple formed a group of artists who shared his love for discovering and encouraging independent filmmakers, many of whom will make world and U.S. first-shows at our festival.

23、In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tartan” in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
【1】Women are called the weaker sex because_________.
A．women do as much as men

C．people think women are weaker than men

B．Some women athletes are actually men.
C．Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D．It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.

D．men are faster and stronger than women
24、What happens when we need medical treatment? In the past, some people went to a clinic or hospital to see a medical doctor. Other people trusted traditions and chose treatments such as herbal medicine or acupuncture. These two types of medicine—one modern and Western and the other ancient and Eastern—used to have nothing to do with each other.
In recent years, however, people around the world have begun to recognize and accept both modern medical science and more traditional therapies. This new kind of medicine can be called integrative (综合的)medicine or complementary medicine. Some of the principles of this type of medicine include preventing illness by helping people stay healthy and integrating different types of therapies according to the needs of each patient.
One health maintenance organization (HMO) in Madison, Wisconsin, has opened its Complementary Medicine and Wellness Center. At the center, HMO members are offered a variety of services. If you are suffering from a sore back, try some massage treatments to relax your muscles. If you have allergies or asthma, you could try homeopathy. And if you just want to improve your strength and focus your mind, try a tai chi or yoga class.
Patients who use these complementary medicine services appreciate having an alternative to surgery or to drugs and their side effects. They also enjoy activities and therapies that make them feel better even if they’re not sick. And from the financial point of view of the HMO, preventing illness whenever possible is much less expensive than a hospital stay. According to Dr. Andrew Weil, founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, integrative medicine combines the best parts of Western medicine with complementary therapies such as acupuncture and nutrition.
【1】Why does the author mention “preventing illness by helping people stay healthy” in the second paragraph?
A．to give readers advice about staying healthy
B．to inform readers about a principle of integrative medicine
C．to recommend modern medicine rather than traditional therapies
D．to explain why most people don’t believe in holistic or integrative medicine
【2】Which sentence from paragraph 3 gives a main idea?
A．At the center, HMO members are offered a variety of services.
B．If you are suffering from a sore back, try some massage treatments.
C．If you have allergies or asthma, you could try homeopathy.
D．If you just want to improve your strength and focus your mind, try a tai chi or yoga class.
【3】Which of the following is not mentioned as an advantage of complementary medicine?
A．It costs less than medical care in hospitals.
B．It helps patients feel healthier even when they’re not sick.
C．Doctors can enjoy more relaxing activities.
D．Patients can choose between complementary medicine and drugs or surgery.
【4】What’s the best title for the article?
A．Western Medicine
B．Herbal Medicine
