B When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago, my wife and I formed our own "couple caution circle". Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress, my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness. One day a doctor brought particularly frightening news. Staring at my reports, the doctor said in a low voice, "It doesn't look like you' re going to make it." Before I could ask him a question, my wife stood up, handed me my clothes, adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said, "Let's get out of here. This man is a risk to your health." As she helped me struggle to the door, the doctor came near us. "Stay back," demanded my wife. "Stay away from us." As we walked together down the hall, the doctor attempted to catch up with us. "Keep going," said my wife, pushing the intravenous (静脉内的) stand. "We're going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on." Then she held up her hand to the doctor, "Don't come any closer to us." The two of us moved as one. We found a doctor who give us hope, even though the diagnosis was bad. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone. 60. From the passage we know _____. A. when the wife learned her husband would not make it, she went crazy B. the wife's decision in crisis(危机) contributed to the husband's wellness C. the husband was diagnosed with cancer by mistake, which upset him D. the husband became weaker as a result of the doctor's poor treatment 61. What's the author's feeling when writing the passage? A. Angry.                              B. Thankful.                        C. Excited.                           D. Sad. 62. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. the wife was hard to get along with B. the doctor was a dangerous man C. the wife loved her husband very much D. the husband believed everything would be OK 63. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Happy Couple in Crisis                                           B. Struggle with Cancer C. In Crisis, Become as One                                          D. Don' t Believe the Doctor

C Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move to Mars. They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth. We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects：general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project：to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists. Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple：add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth. But it will take at least 300 years. Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. The earth now contains some 6 billion people, and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support. Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species. We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet：altering the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate. Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places. While the possibility of such a project is small, it is not impossible. Even if earth-bound societies come and go in the next 300 years, the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth. The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars. 64．What would be the best title for this passage?          A．Terraforming Mars.                                        B．Saving the Earth.          C．Travelling to Mars.                                         D．A Newly-found Place. 65．What does the underlined word “altering” mean in the second paragraph?          A．Warming.                B．Changing.                C．Planting.                  D．Building. 66．According to the passage the main purpose of terraforming Mars is to           .          A．do some scientific research work          B．find out its similarity to earth          C．avoid the dying away of many other species          D．find on Mars living place for the increasing human beings 67．What’s the author’s attitude towards the project?          A．Optimistic.              B．Negative.                C．Sceptical.                 D．Objective.
