This is the way she did it.Jessie had gone to the woods with Jamie and Joe to get green 11 to decorate the house. She wore her little cap, her white fur coats, and her red leggings(裤子).She was a merry little girl, indeed; but she felt 12 this morning because her mother had said, “The children will all have Christmas presents, but I don‟t expect any for myself. We are too 13 this year.”When Jessie told her brothers this, they all 14 it a great deal. “Such a good, kind mamma, and no Christmas present! It‟s too bad,” said Jamie.“I don‟t like it,” said little Jessie, with a 15 in her eye.“Oh, she has you,” said Joe.“But I am not something 16 ,” said Jessie.“Well, you will be new, Jessie,” said Joe, “when you get back. She has not seen you for an hour.”Jessie jumped and laughed. “Then put me in the basket, and 17 me to mamma, and say, …I am her Christmas present.‟”So they set her in the 18 , and put green branches all around her. It was a joyful ride. They set her down on the 19 , and went in and said, “There‟s a Christmas present out there for you, mamma.”Mamma went and looked, and there, in a basket of green branches, sat her own little 20 girl.“Just the 21 thing I want most,” said mamma.“Then, dear mamma,”said Jessie, 22 out of her leafy nest, “I should think it would be Christmas for mammas all the time, for they see their little girls every day.”11.

You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I‟m sorry, I can‟t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can‟t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I noticed every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I looked down on the compu ter and asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That‟s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it‟s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There‟s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it‟s down it won‟t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let‟s forget the computer. What about your planes? They‟re still flying, aren‟t they?”“I couldn‟t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he‟s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.“I wouldn‟t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn‟t take you if you didn‟t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn‟t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only …IT‟ knows. …It can‟t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.31. Where do you often hear these frightening words “Our computer is down”?A. At the airport.B. At the gate.C. On business.D. In the ticket office.32. What could the girl in the ticket office do without asking the computer?A. She could do nothing.B. She could sell a ticket.C. She could write out a ticket.D. She could answer the passengers‟ questions.33. What does the underlined word “down” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. White.B. Broken.C. Black.D. Dark.34. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.A. a modern computer won‟t be downB. computers can take the place of humanC. there will be great changes in computersD. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people35. The best title for the article is _______.A. Asking the ComputerB. When the Computer Is DownC. The Computer of the AirportD. The Most Frightening WordsBWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist（存在）, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿…轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience(耐心) paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted（观察）the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征）in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it‟s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids（小行星）, or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surface（表层）where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, s ays Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”36. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.37. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.D. The planet is as large as Jupiter.38. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 69C. 66D. 6539. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because ______.A. he has found the system similar to the solar systemB. he has discovered an Earth-like planet thereC. he has discovered a rocky planet thereD. he has found signs of life in the system40.“But we stuck with it”（in Paragraph 3）means ______.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progress。
