who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.
“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,”said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London. “The size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”
29. According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. Robots are prepared for the settlement for humans. B. He could not come up with the fund for Mars One. C. We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars. D. The equipment is ready for humans to land on Mars. 30. The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________. A. very large B. very small C. medium D. average 31.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Ready for a Round Trip to Mars B. Ready for a Short Visit to Mars C. Ready for a One-way Trip to Mars D. Ready for a Walk on Mars
D
There are around 6,000 living languages in the world—and at least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world, languages are disappearing. In fact, one scientist has said that languages are in more danger of extinction than birds or animals. Professor Steve Sutherland of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years 4.5 percent of languages have died out—compared with 1.3 percent of birds, and 1.9 percent of mammals.
Languages come and go, and thousands have done exactly that without leaving any trace(痕迹). Only a very few—Basque, Greek and Latin among them—have lasted more than 2000 years. But it seems that the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.
The Ethnologue, a database of all the languages spoken in the world, states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people speak a language, it will probably die out.
Languages may be lost through migration(迁徙), as people move from small towns to city centers, or when environments are destroyed by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also devastate populations, and along with them, their language. Governments also play a role in the extinction of languages. The need to establish “official languages”, for a country to educate its children and carry out its business, had a disastrous effect on many small languages.
What is lost if a language is lost? Some people argue that languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language—some industries already reflect(反映) this, with
English essential for pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important things than convenience. As languages are lost, whole ways of life and knowledge may be lost along with them.
To put it simply, language expresses something about identity, about our place in the world. Ani Rauhihi, a Maori teacher in New Zealand’s North Island, sums it up: “If you grow up speaking our language, you won’t know who you are.”
32. The figures mentioned in the first paragraph suggest that______. A. most languages have died out completely B. languages are in great danger of extinction C. animals are disappearing faster than languages D. languages are disappearing slower than before
33. The underlined word “devastate” can best be replaced by “ ”. A. increase B. control C. destroy D. improve 34. If a language is lost, ________. A. there will be great trouble
B. there is no need to worry about it
C. its culture and knowledge will also be lost
D. people will be able to communicate with others conveniently 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Languages reflect our identity.
B. People will speak the same language one day. C. Fewer people will remember their own languages. D. Ani Rauhihi cares less about languages dying out.

If one takes away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we can still survive. 36 That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.
How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk foods. 37 Besides, I only eat little meat. 38 Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.
What's more, I think friends are an important part of one's health. 39 I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends. By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy.
