They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star. They were coming very regularly, too: about once a second, if they were contro

36、lled by clock.Although some scientists heard the signals, they did not tell others.They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people. The signals were coming from a very small bodyno bigger, perhaps than the earth. Was that why no light could be seen from it? Or were the signals coming

37、from a planet that belonged to some other star?There was no end to the questions, but the scientists kept the news secret.“Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there.”they thought,“who are trying to send messages to other planets, or to us? So the news was not given to the newspaper. Instead, th

38、e scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them.Well, all that happened in 1967 and 1968.Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange, regular, radio signals .And they have told the story, of course.The signals do not come from a planet; what they come from is a new

39、kind of star called a “pulsar”.About a hundred other pulsars have now been found, and most of themare very like the first one. The strong radio stars are Pulsars . They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present. A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons. Their lightif they

40、 give much lightis too small for us to see. But we can be sure of this, no intelligent beings are living on them.56. In this text, we can know that the radio signals _.A.were regular B.were controlled by a clockC.were only heard in 1967D.were secret messages 57. Who sent the radio singals? A.a satel

41、liteB.a planet C.a sky body which was unknown at that time D.intelligent human who were unknown at that time 58. The reason why the scientists did not tell people about the signals is that _.A.the singals stood for secret messagesB.people would ask them too many questionsC.they did not want to frigh

42、ten peopleD.they stood for unimportant messages 59. From this passage, what is the definition of “ pulsar”? A. a small heavy star which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen B. a small heavy planet which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen C. a small heavy satellite which s

43、ends out strong radio signals and cannot be seenD. a small intelligent being who sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen60. Which of the following is true? A.

44、hed for pulsars for many years but found none. D. Scientists have found many pulsars since 1967. Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.I have been spending most of my life on writing. The book, called Writing Teachers, introduced me to one distinction and one practice has

45、done me a favor for my writing process significantly. The distinction actually is between the creative mind and critical mind. While you have to employ both of them to get a finished ending, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we may think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is po

46、ssibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us may meet. If the 6th grade teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting thought, the thought will disappear quickly. If you capture the fleeting thought and just share it with the world in raw form, no one would

47、 understand. Thus, what you need to do is to create first and then criticize if you really want to making writing as a tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing, the obj

48、ective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw

49、 materials, so you can start to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near. Halfway through

50、 you available time, just stop and work your raw writing again and again into something closer to finished product instead of starting at a blank start filling with words no matter how bad. Please move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than

51、your current practices. 61. From the passage, the author mentioned that the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means _. A) one cannot use them at the same time B) hey are in constant conflict with each other C) they cannot be re

52、garded as equally important tD) no one can be both creative and critical 62. _ prevents people from writing on .

53、tive of the first stage of writing is _A) To choose an appropriate topic. B) To organize ones thoughts logically. C) To collect raw materials. D) To get ones ideas down. 64.
