Space is where our future is — trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash(垃圾) there that scientists are now concerned that if we don’t clean it up, we may all be in mortal(致命的) danger.

The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard Ⅰ stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning(抛弃) things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.

It is estimated(估计) that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.

The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飞船). Moreover, pieces of junk may collide(碰撞) with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.

1.What was the first piece of man-made space trash?

A. A camera.                    B. A tool kit.

C. A broken satellite.            D. A fuel tank.

2.Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?

A. It did not cause any problems.

B. It no longer served any useful purpose.

C. It was millions of miles away from the Earth.

D. It was regarded as similar to comets and stars.

3.Which of the following statements is true about space junk?

A. It is huge, heavy machines.

B. It may cause problems for space shuttles.

C. It floats slowly around the Earth.

D. It never changes position.

4.What has been done about the space trash problem?

A. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space.

B. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space.

C. Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched.

D. Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.

高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.

In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.

The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Nonimported(非进口的)foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.

When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.

When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”

1.What does the author think of Chinese people?

A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.

B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud.

C. He dislikes most Chinese people.

D. He praises most Chinese people a lot.

2.What is the author doing in China?

A. He is teaching English in a school.

B. He is visiting the places of interest.

C. He is studying in a college.

D. He is on business.

3.What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion?

A. Clothes and shoes made in China.

B. Local foods.

C. Imported foods.

D. Public transportation tickets.

4.We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________.

A. the westerners have got to know China well

B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US.

C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere

D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China

How to Be a Pleasant Person

We all would love to be appreciated for the positive emotions that are exhibited around our surroundings. Little do we know that it is not a hard task at all. 1.

Be modest. Understand that we all are humans. You might be rich or poor, black or white, short or tall etc. But above all we are all humans, which means we are all emotional beings. So treat others the way you would like to be treated.

2. By offering a seat to an elderly person or throwing the football back to the young child, the inner self-satisfaction you get is priceless. Once you do so, you will feel good about yourself.

Don’t regret. We all are reasonable beings and it is very human to do unreasonable things at times. However, it does not mean that we should regret what we did in the past. Every experience is a lesson which teaches you what to do and what not to do in future. 3.

Forgive and forget. Always living in the past will only make one painful on the inside, which will reflect on the outside. 4. By doing so, your heart becomes light.

Be grateful. Thank God and the Universe for yourself, your parents, your friends, your clothes, jobs, food, home etc. And every small thing makes a difference. 5. It will make you appreciate life.

A. Be helpful.

B. Be inspired.

C. So be proud that you have learnt a lesson on your own.

D. The following steps will help you to be a pleasant person.

E. To have a pleasant emotion around you, it is better to let go.

F. If possible, express your gratefulness for something every day.

G. Throw flowers at others if you wish flowers to be thrown at you.
