Slowly the colors twisted and broke and reappeared elsewhere until, suddenly, a whole band flowed and pulsed across

10、the sky,_32_ with delicate yellow, pinks and purples. It was as dramatic as thunderstorm, yet calm. Gentle, yet _33_. Most of all, it was a gift. This was my fifth aurora trip and the first time I had seen fast movement and bright colours. The calm, green auroral displays that many people see are dr

11、iven by a(n)_34_stream of particles(微粒) from the sun, called the solar wind. But when the sun throws us extra hot, fat particles, this process goes into overdrivewe get much more movement and colour. It is glorious! Aurora-spotters long for it. But for some, the wild movements of the heavens can hav

12、e serious _35_. Satellites electronics are affected or damaged by incoming fast particles, _36_ industries that rely on them. Flights may need to change course to avoid radio_37_ around the poles, or to protect aircrew from enhanced radiation exposure. During a solar storm, aircrew may receive their

13、 annual radiation limit over a single flight. Stormy space weather affects us on the ground, too. A large solar storm in 1989 caused a 10-hour electrical blackout over Canadas Quebec Province, costing the economy a(n)_38_C$10 billion. Disturbance of the atmosphere causes problems with radio broadcas

Meanwhile, beautiful aurora displays were seen in England. Place its beauty aside, then, and the auroral _40_ is nothing other than a giant

15、planetary disturbance, more of a worry than a wonder for some people. Yet seldom do such disturbances have such fascinating side effects as that of the aurora dancing across our Arctic skies.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four w

16、ords or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Marmoset monkeys exist on a branch of the evolutionary three that is distinct from the one that led to humans. But they constantly astonish researchers with _41_ behavior that seems pretty hi

17、ghly evolved. Their social organization and _42_ practices could have been the model for the phrase “It takes a village.” A dominant male and female breed, and their babies are carefully looked after by extended family members who then arent free to breed themselves. A new study further _43_ the mar

18、mosets reputation for admirable community values. Researchers report that these caregivers share their food more generously with little ones _44_ than when theyre surrounded by the watchful eyes of other community members. In complex societies where individuals band together for _45_ protection, res

19、earchers have come up with a few widely accepted explanations for selfless behavior. But specific acts, like sharing a delicious cricket（蟋蟀）with a begging baby marmoset, seem to need more _46_ explanation. One possibility is that an individual practices _47_ as a means of enhancing his status among

20、peers. By _48_ that he is so well gifted with material goods that he can give some away, this do-gooder enhances his power within the group. That, in turn, may _49_ prospective mates. The other explanation for charitable behavior _50_ that kindnesses extended to others are simply the fees of group m

21、embership, which offers some future promise of a chance to mate. Failure to share would result in exclusion from the group and a loss of _51_ partners. Scientists call this the “pay to stay” model. Importantly, for both of these models to work, acts of kindness must have a(n) _52_. That suggests you

22、 would see more sharing in group settings; away from judging eyes, a caregiver might be more likely to keep food for himself or herself. And yet, in 2,581 tests conducted with 31 adult and 14 baby marmosets, the _53_ appeared to be true. Anthropologists（人类学家）from the University of Zurich carefully d

23、ocumented how often ,in groups and in conditions that found caregiver and baby separated from the crowd, an adult would share his or her cricket. When alone with a baby begging for a taste, adult marmosets shared their cricket 85% of the time. When in a group, caregivers offered up their cricket 67%

24、 of the time. Our results show that helping in common marmosets is not driven by reputation management or 54 avoidance, the study author reported. Rather, it is driven by a deep-down motivation to help that is more 55 expressed when individuals are alone with young.”41. A. animal B. careful C. socia

28、hed statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)What to endure before publication? It takes a lot to write a novel. Even those who havent tried would say, “well, duh!”

29、to this. But its not so much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft. To really ready a novel for publication, a writer must spend time with his or her book. Like an

30、y promising relationship, you, the writer, must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times. As a writer, you have to stay up all night with your novel and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment

31、 of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line. For many published authors I know, myself included, a completed novel takes them about 10 , thats right, 10 drafts, and at least a year of real editing. Will you be spending every single second editing your novel? No, of course not. Just as d

32、rafts need some real time on the surgery table, they also need rest in the recovery room. You dont nurse a relationship by spending every waking second with them until you cant stand the sight of each other, and you cant produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck. However, a novel should under
