So Many

“Earths”

The Milky Way contains billions of Earth-sized planets that could support life

that's the finding of a new study. It draws on date that came from NASA's top

planet-hunting telescope.

A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service.

Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000

stars. Its data have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our

galaxy. The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar

to those on Earth.

The authors of a study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of

sciences, conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars, with a mass and

temperature similar to the Sun, may host a planet that could support life as we know it.

Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth's, but no more than

twice that big. The planet also would have to orbit in a star's habitable zone. That's

where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liquid.

The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from

studying more than 42,000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them. The

scientists used those numbers to extrapolate to the rest of the stars that the telescope

could not see .

The estimate is rough, the authors admit. If applied to the solar system, it would

define as habitable a zone starting as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far

away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the

distant past). Using tighter limits, the researchers estimate that between 4 and 8 out of

every 100 Sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world. These are ones that would

take 200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit.

Four out of every 100 sunlike stars doesn't sound like a big number. It would

mean, however, that the Milky Way could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets

with a change for life.

16. The Kepler space telescope has been in service for 15 years.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

17. The main task of the Kepler space telescope is to find out planets with similar conditions

to Earth's.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

18. The planet that could support life might be a little bit smaller than Earth.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

19. The Earth is planet orbiting in the Sun's habitable zone.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

20. The new finding is based on a thorough study of 170,000 stars in the Milky Way.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

21. The estimate of the number of planets that could support life is not very accurate.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

22. This is the first research finding about the planets with a chance for life.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

Climate Change: The Long Reach

1 Earth is warming. Sea levels are rising. There's more carbon in the air, and

Arctic ice is melting faster than at any time in recorded history. Scientists who study

the environment to better gauge (

评估

) Earth's future climate now argue that these

changes may not reverse for a very long time.

2 People burn fossil fuels like coal and oil for energy. That burning releases

carbon dioxide, a colorless gas. In the air, this gas traps heat at Earth’s surface. And

the more carbon dioxide released, the more the planet warms. If current consumption

of fossil fuels doesn’t slow, the long

-term climate impacts could last thousands of

years

—

and be more severe than scientists had been expecting. Climatologist Richard

Zeebe of the University of Hawaii at Manoa offers this conclusion in a new paper.

3 Most climate- change studies look at what's going to happen in the next century

or so. During that time, changes in the planet's environment could nudge (

推动

)

global warming even higher. For example: Snow and ice reflect sunlight back into

space. But as these melt, sunlight can now reach

—

and warm

—

the exposed ground.

This extra heat raises the air temperature even more, causing even more snow to melt.

This type of rapid exaggeration of impacts is called a ―fast feedback.‖.

4 Zeebe says it's important to look at fast feedbacks. However, he adds, they're

limited. From a climate change perspective.

for the next few generations,‖ he told Science News. ―But the world is not ending in

2100.‖ For his new study, Zeebe now focuses on ―slow feedbacks‖. While fast

feedback events unfold over decades or centuries, slow feedbacks can take thousands

of years. Melting of continental ice sheets and the migration of plant life

—

as they

relocate to more comfortable areas

—

are two examples of slow feedbacks.

5 Zeebe gathered information from previously published studies investigating

how such processes played out over thousands of years during past dramatic changes

in climate. Then he came up with a forecast for the future that accounts for both slow

and fast feedback processes. Climate forecasts that use only fast feedbacks predict a

4.5 degree Celsius (8.1 degree Fahrenheit) change by the year 3000. But slow

feedbacks added another 1.5 °

C

—

for a 6°

total increase, Zeebe reports. He also

found that stow feedback events will cause global warming to persist for thousands of

years after people run out of fossil fuels to burn.

23. Paragraph 2 ____A_____

24. Paragraph 3 ____D____

25. Paragraph 4 ____B_____

26. Paragraph 5 ____C_____

A. Impact of burning fossil fuels

B. Slow feedbacks

C. A prediction of future climate change

D. Fast feedbacks

E. Rising of sea levels

Unpredictability of feedback processes

A. a very long time

B. recorded history

Approaches to Understanding Intelligences

(

本次考试理工

A

阅读其中一篇

)

It bays to be smart, but we are not all smart in the same way .You may be a

talented musician, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is different.

Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal

abilities .Psychologists have two different views on intelligence .Some believe there is

one general intelligence .Others believe there are many different intelligences .

Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured

with IQ tests .These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that

people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests .They

do well on tests using words, numbers or pictures. They do well on individual or

group tests, and written or oral tests .Those who do poorly on one test, do the same on

all tests.

Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general

intelligence .The brain of intelligence people use less energy during problem

solving .The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker

reaction .Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from

differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain .

Howard Gardner, a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education, has four

children .He believes that all children are different and shouldn’t be tested by one

intelligence test .Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists, he doesn’t

think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling .He think

that the human mind has different intelligences .These intelligences allow us to solve

the kinds of problems we are presented with in life .Each of us has different abilities

within these intelligences .Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to

encourage development of all of our intelligences .

Gardner says that his theory is based on biology .For example ,when one part of

the Brain is injured ,other parts of the brain still work .People who cannot talk

because of Brain damage can still sing .So ,there is not just one intelligence to

lose .Gardner has Identified 8 different kinds of intelligence; linguistic, mathematical,

spatial, musical, Interpersonal, intrapersonal, body- kinesthetic(

身体动觉的

),and

naturalistic .

31. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. How to understand intelligence.

B. The importance of intelligence.

C. The development of intelligence tests.

D. How to become intelligent.

32. Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence?

A. Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.

B. People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests.

C. Intelligent people do not do well on group tests.

D. Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.

33. Gardner believes that ______.

A. children have different intelligences.

B. all children are alike.

C. children should take one intelligence test.

D. there is no general intelligence.

34. According to Gardner, schools should ______.

A. test students’ IQs.

B. train students who do poorly on tests.

C. focus on finding the most intelligent students.

D. promote development of all intelligences.

35. Gardner thinks that his theory has a ______.

A. musical foundation.

B. biological foundation.

C. intrapersonal foundation.

D. linguistic foundation.

The Mir Space Station

The Russian Mir Space Station, which came down in 2001 at last after 15 years

of pioneering the concept of long-term human space flight, is remembered for its

accomplishments in the human space flight history. It can be credited with many firsts

in space.

During Mir’s lifetime, Russia spent about US $$4.2 b

illion to build and maintain

the station.

The Soviet Union launched Mir, which was designed to last from three to five

years, on February 20, 1986, and housed 104 astronauts over 12 years and seven

months, most of whom were not Russian. In fact, it became the first international

space station by playing host to 62 people from 11 countries. From 1995 through

1998, seven astronauts from the United States took turns living on Mir for up to six

months each. They were among the 37 Americans who visited the station during nine

stopovers by space shuttles.

The more than 400 million the United States provided Russian for the visits not

only kept Mir operating, but also gave the Americans and their partners in the

international station project valuable experience in long-term flight and multinational

operations.

A debate continues over Mir’s contributions to science. During its existence, Mir

was the laboratory for 23,000 experiments and carried scientific equipment, estimated

to be worth $$80 million, from many nations. Experiments on Mir are credited with a

range of findings, from the first solid measurement of the ration of heavy helium

atoms in space to how to grow wheat in space. But for those favouring human space

exploration, Mir showed that people could live and work in space long enough for a

trip to Mars. The longest single stay in space is the 437.7 days that Russian astronaut

Valery Polyakov spent on Mir from 1994 to 1995. And Sergie Avdeyev accumulated

747.6 days in space in three trips to the space station. The longest American stay was

that of Shannon Lucid, who spent 188 days aboard Mir in 1996.

Despite the many firsts Mir accomplished, 1997 was a bad year out of 15 for Mir.
