His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe〔探测器〕, marking the start of its trip to the sun.The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona〔日冕〕, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with seriousradiation. So how will the probe surviveAccording to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cmthick carboncomposite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest manmade object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 20xx and 20xx. NBC added.1.What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraphA. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe.B.

The probe is the fastest manmade object.D. The probe has been prepared well for its aim.4.What may be the best title of the passageA. Taking a Closer Look at the SunB. Discovering the Unknown PuzzlesC. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the SunD. The Scientific Value of Searching the SunIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand , a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “ Oh, boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhoundcounter, the sales agent said with a broad smile. “ Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should care the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you are tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet When you have your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbour told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “ Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they hear bad news,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.1.In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to _______.A. make a comparisonB. describe a sceneC. introduce a topicD. offer an argument2.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ______.A. not helpfulB. not considerateC. friendlyD. warmhearted3.From “ Dreams of headcutting !”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer _______.A. was reminded of the cruel pharaohB. was mad at the sales agentC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night4.What is the main idea of the textA. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.Mass communication has been growing and affecting the waycommunities and people behave. At every stage of the development of communication, from the telegraph to the Internet, societies have had to adapt to its effects. But have the effects been more positive or negativeThe saying “Knowledge is power” has been an excellent motivator for people to improve their lives, but today the massive amount of information available through the Internet doesn’t always seem to to be helping people in the way we had hoped.Rather than improving people’s lives and bringing us closer together, the information age is making us more divided and irresponsible.Nevertheless, many people find comfort in their virtual worlds and are happy to connect with reallife friends and online friends from the familiar surroundings of their living rooms.However,being able to reinvent themselves online and be whoever they want to be leads to the question of whether they are losing their identities by living in a virtual world. It’s not all bad news,however. Mass communication has helped change some attitudes for the better. Take our views on the environment for example. Internet campaigns by governments and other organizations have helped popularize the ideas of recycling, protecting wildlife and reducing pollution.Modern electronic communication now influences every aspect of our livesit is a powerful tool that has raised some concerns for society.However,it has also brought countless benefits to society. At the end of the day, it can be used both for good or evil, which largely relies on the morals and sense of responsibility of the individual or community involved.
