Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.（1）What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite? A. s experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against over publicizing it. Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbusowned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France39。 Various panies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into lowEarth orbit, already the most crowded area. The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space. 4．閱讀理解 故選D。最重要的是學習人性，了解真實的人是如何行為和反應的，以及人們希望他們如何行為和反應的。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible；and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature；how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature,”成為智者，要大體上知道什么是不可能的。故選D。最重要的是了解人性，了解真實的人是如何行為和反應的，以及人們希望他們如何行為和反應的。根據(jù)第三段中的“Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom.... Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible； and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature；how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react.”除了敏銳的頭腦和豐富的經(jīng)驗外，還有一件事是非常重要的，那就是智慧。故選A。根據(jù)第二段“But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.”但在某些其他類型的活動中(作家可能是其中一種)，經(jīng)驗比頭腦的敏捷更重要，人們通常會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人在他一生的晚期才達到頂峰。根據(jù)對愛因斯坦所的發(fā)現(xiàn)可知，他的偉大的發(fā)現(xiàn)是在2025歲之間，更是印證了人類大腦在20年代初達到了巔峰，可推斷出，本段主要研究人類大腦巔峰期，故選B。愛因斯坦在20到25歲之間做出了所有震驚世界的發(fā)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)第一段“It has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, ... and we know that Albert Einstein made all his worldshaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.” 人們發(fā)現(xiàn)，16歲以后，我們的腦細胞數(shù)量開始以每年幾百萬的速度減少。人們要用智慧來決定做什么才是最好的。. is always a waste of time to make plans about the future is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossible should always challenge the impossible to push the society forward has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了人類的大腦在20歲左右于巔峰，在以后的成就多數(shù)是因為需要豐富的經(jīng)驗。 . helps to avoid various mistakes contributes to one39。 and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there.

But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws, and our jaws in turn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A family meal is very different from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味覺).（1）Compared with adults, babies could more easily re Rees－Moggs) say father.rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both. But where do these phonemes e from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected.
