【阅读2】Do you want to spend a holiday in space? Dennis Tito, a businessman, has become the world’s first “space tourist”. He went on a 10-day visit to the International Space Station. He paid 14 million pounds for his journey. A year later, Martin, a musician from an American band, wanted to do the same. He was only 22 years old and probably very rich too. He had to go for a lot of training to see whether he was fit enough to travel. He is still waiting for his holiday of a lifetime.
Many people believe that this is only the start of something new. We made interviews among teenagers from around the world and the following is what they said about space travel.
“It’s a great idea. I hope space travel will be common in about 50 years’ time. I’d really love to do it and I think
Mr. Tito was very lucky.” (Kate from Australia)
“I would like to see our beautiful Earth from space. There are lots of secrets to explore in space and I would go into space if I could.” (Ben from China)
“I think space travel is really bad for the environment. Maybe in the future they will make a cleaner way of travelling but until they do, I don’t want to go. We should look after our own planet first.”(Richard from Canada)
“It must be very boring and dangerous to sit in that small space shuttle(舱). I’d rather take a plane and go to another place on earth.” (Lisa from the UK)
So, as you can see, many of our teenagers had different opinions. Whether you like it or not, space travel is going to become an important thing in the future. We are looking forward to hearing your opinions. 44.What can we know about Dennis and Martin?

47.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

【阅读4】In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back. Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.” 56.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A. They cannot repair themselves. B. The computer has changed a lot.
C. They have no computers inside. D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
57.The new technology allows the robot to _________.
A. do house work for humans B. keep working after being damaged
C. remember a lot of information D. tell people where it is
58.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. sensors
B. robots D. scientists
C. arms and legs
59.How do the sensors in the robot work?
A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken. B. They can find out where the damage comes from. C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition. D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.
60. The passage is probably from_____________.
A. a newspaper C. a tour guide
