Houston, Texas (June8,2002)---In 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) will send two robots to separate place of Mars to seek out past or present signs of water. It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill.
Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2002 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes will, the two spacecraft will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004.
The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will be under control from Earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.
The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.
41.According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _____.
A. find out whether there is water on Mars B. see if robots can find minerals there
C. test how fast robots can drive there D. prove that robots can work on Mars
42. How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?
A. 1 year. B. 7.5 months. C. 2 months. D. 2 weeks.

Lillian Beard whistled and smiled while she worked. “Why are you so happy?”her co-workers asked her.
“Last week I got my income tax refund,”Lillian answered.“This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $ 462 in my pocket. I’m thinking about the money. How will I spend it?”
After work, Lillian came home and decided to wash come clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty, so they put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she thought, “The money! It’s in the pocket of my jeans!”Lillian ran to the washing machine and took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table.
A few hours later the money was still wet. “Hmmm,”Lillian thought.“How can I dry this money?”Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in the microwave, set the timer for five minutes, and left the kitchen.
When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the oven door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.
The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her, “If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give new money.”Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $ 17.
A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. “Tell Mr. Beard to send the burned money to the US Department of Treasury,”the people said. “Maybe she can get her money back.”
Every year about 30,000 people send damaged money to the Treasury Department. Experts there look carefully at the damaged money. Sometimes they can give people new money for the damaged money. Once a farmer’s cow ate-his money ––– thousands of dollars. The farmer killed the cow and sent the cow’s stomach, with the money inside, to the Treasury Department. The experts gave the farmer new money.
Lillian sent her money to the Treasury Department. The experts looked at Lillian’s burned money and sent her a check for $ 231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn’t buy anything. She gave the $ 231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, “When I burned the $ 462, I thought, ‘Well, my money is gone.’”The check for $ 231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me.
45. Where does Lillian’s $ 462 come from?
A. Her salary B. Her bonus(奖金)
C. She picked up on her way home D. Tax which has been overcharged
46. How did Lillian dry the money?
A. By blowing B. By putting it in the sun
C. By drying it in microwave D. By putting on the table
47. How did Lillian know she could send her money to the Treasury Department?
A. Her bank told her. B. People from the newspaper
C. A friend phoned her. D. She thought out herself.
48. Lillian gave her money to ________.

C. Treasure Department D. farmerC
Your mobile phone rings, and instead of the usual electronic signals, it’s playing your favorite music. A friend sends your favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.
The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones ― all – purpose gadgets(小玩意儿)that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one.
Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register(注册)their cell phone numbers.
The fans could pass music or songs along to friends― a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of Yourmobile, based in Santa Monic, California.
“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It’s like going through a toll gate(收费站). There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”
Massachusetts – Based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.
“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a phone while you’re on vacation, you appreciate the feedling.”
49. The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means________.
A. send B. become C. mix D. compare
50. “Massachusetts – based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to_________.
A. a person B. a city in Israel C. a state of the USA D. a company
51. Record companies __________ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.
A. are worried about B. are interested in C. try hard to stop D. take no notice of
52. According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to _________ through mobile phone network than through the Internet.
A. protect copyright of music works B. send personal messages
C. pass along songs and music D. send voice mailD
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values ― this can not be repeated too often ― aren’t necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risk(冒险)are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The old is like a car; it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results are. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical chances, they will feel it necessary to give them a try, by the rule that while there’s life, there’s a hope.
Talking to the old, however, you’re forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or health than it does on your ability to have fun.
53. After reading the paragraph, we can learn that__________.
A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives
B. social services have nothing to do with very old people
C. very old people are able to keep their living places very clean
D. old people enjoy living alone so as to have more personal freedom
54. Some social workers think that__________.
A. old people should keep their living places clean
B. one should not take risk dealing with old people
C. health and safety are more important than personal freedom
D. personal freedom is more important health and safety
55. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to________.
A. your talk to the old people
B. one’s memory or health
C. the conclusion you’ve come to
D. whether age is happy or unpleasant 五. 补全对话( 共五句;每句为3分,共15分)
