Everyone in China knows that the Shenzhou VI spacecraft, which was sent into orbit at 9: 00 on the morning of October 12,2005. Astronaut Nie Haisheng and Fei Junlong orbited the Earth for five days in China's second manned space mission (任务) which ended up in a complete success.
China, which launched its first manned space mission just two years ago, plans to put a man on the moon around 2017 and investigate what may be the perfect source of fuel, a newspaper reported on Friday.
China is now developing new crafts up to the Shenzhou X, eyeing a permanent space station and an eventual moon mission, domestic (国内的) media said this week.
"China will make a manned moon landing at a proper time, around 2017," leading scientist Ouyang Ziyuan was quoted by the Southern Metropolis News as saying.
The project also includes setting up a moon-based astronomical telescope, measuring the thickness of the moon's soil and the amount of helium-3 on the moon--an element which some researchers say is a perfect, non-polluting fuel source.
Some scientists believe there is enough helium-3 on the moon to power the world for thousands of years. "We will provide the most reliable report on helium-3 to mankind," Ouyang said.
The United States declared a $104 billion plan in September to return Americans to the moon by 2018. Its Apollo program carried the first humans to the moon in 1969.
China's first lunar (月球的) orbiter could blast off as early as 2007, coinciding with its third manned space trip in which possibly three men would orbit the Earth in Shenzhou VII and conduct a space walk.

A. China has successfully completed its second manned space mission.
B. The United States would return Americans to the moon by 2018.

The beginnings of marine biology can be traced back to the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle of the 3rd century B. C.. In certain respects, he was a greater marine biologist than any who followed him, for he made many notable observations with no books to guide him and no microscope with which to see fine details. He studied chiefly the seashore animals of the Greek coast. In the words of Charles Singer, and English historian of science, Aristotle has left an "imperishable (不朽的) account of some of the things he has seen with his own eyes". There was no study of seashore life comparable with that of Aristotle until almost the beginning of the 19th century. In the first part of that century, biologists of England and Norway made many striking contributions to man's knowledge of life in the sea. The leader in these discoveries was Edward Forbes, who classified ocean life according to the depths in which it was found, in Forbes' day, methods of dredging (捕捞) the great deeps had not yet been invented. Generalizing from studies be made in shallow depth. Forbes was convinced that there was no life on the bottom below 50 meters. This was an error, to be sure, but a very stimulating (激励的) one, for scientists set to work to put Forbes' theory to the test. Within twenty years after his death, they had proved that such types of animals as sea stars, worms, and mollusks lived on the ocean bottom at depths of more than one and one-half kilometers.
"The challenger expedition" was organized by men who were students of Forbes and were carrying out the work that he started. The results of the expedition, which added immeasurably to man's knowledge of the ocean and of the creatures that dwell (居住) there, were published in fifty huge volumes. They are still a model for contributors to the sciences of oceanography and marine biology.
60. The study of marine life began from __ according to the passage.
A. Edward Forbes B. before the 2nd century
C. Charles Singer D. times of Aristotle
61. As a marine biologist, Aristotle's greatness lies in his
A. study of the Greek coast
B. long living account of his study
C. being a famous philosopher
D. very original study Of the Greek coast by making notable observations

A. he is Aristotle's follower
B. the error he made in his discovery stimulated other scientists to find out the truth
C. he make a great error
D. he was the leader of the English and Norwegian biologists in the 19th century
63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Biologists of England and Norway got to know most about ocean life in the 1850's.
B. Before the 19th century, Aristotle's study of seashore life was beyond comparison.
C. People in Forbes' times all believed in his theories.
D. Man's knowledge of the ocean owes a !or to Forbes' students who made "the challenger" expedition.

Hints on safety
Nearly everyone is attracted to water, whether it be the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond. Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be dangerous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent’s responsibility to ensure that both he and the children swim safely and that as the child gets older, he has some knowledge of life-saving and artificial respiration (人工呼吸).
The basic rules of water safety are:
—don’t leave small children playing alone in water
—never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal
—if it’s a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the lifeguard is or where a life-belt is available
—as children get older, try to teach them to remain calm in an emergency
—look out for warning signs to see whether you’re in a danger area (see under this). Be especially careful of inland stretches of water-pools, reservoirs (水库) and dykes (沟) where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.
YOU SHOUID KNOW THE NATIONAL CODE FOR BATHERS—the code deals with warnings that indicate “Unsafe to Bathe”. 1. Color: red, UNSAFE TO BATHE, do not enter the water. 2. Color: red board, with lettering. UNSAFE TO BATHE AT ALL TIMES. Lifesaving equipment is also painted red for easy identification. 3. Color: red and yellow. PATROLLED (巡逻) BATHING AREAS. Bathing areas with life-saving facilities provided by patrols of lifeguards. 4. Color: black and white check. SURFING (冲浪) AREA. Area set aside for surfing or surfing board riding. 5. Color: white and blue. The divers’ flag means DIVERS DOWN. Boat users keep well clear of this area. |

A. Everyone is attracted to the water in the village pond.
B. It is attractive but dangerous.

A. Useful advice B. Expert experiences
C. Public comments D. First aid suggestions
66. What does the writer think parents should make sure their children know?

In prehistoric China tea was probably used as a relish (开胃小菜) and as a medicine. Tea was first brewed as a medicine around 2,700 B.C. in the western mountains of China. Tea was likely seen as healthy in part because it was made with boiled water, which is safer to drink in an area of polluted water.
Tea was also popular for stimulation (刺激). A Chinese document first suggested tea as a substitute (替代品) for wine after 200 A. D..
Tea drinking, and commercial cultivation (培养), spread during the Tang Dynasty, 618~907, especially after a Buddhist monk, Lu Yu, wrote a book on the virtues of tea, Cha Ching. Tea gradually became one of the seven basic necessities of Chinese life: (The others are fuel, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. )
A Japanese Buddhist priest, Saicho, is believed to have introduced tea to Japan, when he returned from a visit to China in 805. In Japan tea drinking was considered medicinal, and became closely associated with Zen Buddhism (佛教禅宗).
Tea drinking also spread to Korea and Southeast Asia, and was taken over the Silk Road to Central Asia, Russia, and the Middle East.
Dutch explorers became familiar with tea in the 1590s and were soon importing tea to Europe. In 1657 the British East India Company held the first public sale of tea in England, while that same year Thomas Garraway began offering tea at his London coffee house.
In 1662 tea received a big boost in England when the Portuguese Catherine of Braganza, married King Charles ii and introduced tea drinking to the British court.
Gradually, the British fell in love with tea, and with the sugar that went in it. In 1665, less than 88 tons or, sugar was imported to Great Britain. By 1700, it had increased to 10,000 tons of sugar. In 1768 the East India Company imported 10 million pounds of tea to Britain.

A. more than 8,000 years B. about 4,700 years
C. about 2,200 years D. not less than 2,700 years

What is good education? Is it one that covers as much as possible of human history and achievements, past and present? Or one that gives graduates the ability to find employment immediately when they leave school? Is it a broad education or a specialized one? Should it provide students with a vast collection of facts or merely train them to think? Should a future engineer gain only the knowledge that will enable him to do his job properly, or would a richer background improve his professional ability as well as his personal life? The debate goes on and on, with good arguments on both sides.
In the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries, the question was not even worth asking. A good education was, of course, a broad one based on the humanities. An educated man knew "something about everything". He was familiar with the great deeds and the great ideas of the past. He had read extensively; he was able to use his own language correctly and often elegantly. He could join in any conversation about plants, planets, painters, or politics. He was at ease in the world, and he knew that his education would open to him any career that he might want to try. Even if he was mostly interested in literature, he had some knowledge of the sciences and the techniques of his time.
But sciences and techniques have changed a great deal since the latter part of the nineteenth century, and the world has changed, too. It has become more complex and increasingly specialized. There is much more to know in every field. It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now but the administrator, the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager. Besides, the multiplication (增多) of college graduates had made the competition for jobs much harder than it used to be. The best qualified, the expert, wins.
72. According to the passage, what is a good education?
A. Education that makes college students find employment very quickly.
B. Education that provides a student with rich knowledge in every field.
C. Education that makes a person become the expert in his special field.
D. Not mentioned in the passage.
73. Which of the following statements about an educated man in the 18~l9th century is NOT true?
A. He was able to use his own language beautifully.
B. If he was interested in literature, he had to learn some knowledge of science and technique.
C. He had read various books.
D. He was familiar with much knowledge in various fields.
74. What should a modern man do to find employment?
A. No matter what career he wants to try, he needs long special training.
B. He needs to command all the knowledge related to his career.
C. He has to read extensively.
D. He should be familiar with everything in every field.
75. Why is it very difficult for a college student to find employment?
A. Because college education is less useful.
B. Because students didn't master adequate skills.
C. Because their education wouldn't open to them the career they wanted to try.
D. Because the number of college students is increasing.
