Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space？ It was impossible a hundred years ago, nor was it 50 years ago. With the coming of the Space Age, man’ s dream of visiting the moon has come true.
The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future explorations in space. The distance between the moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is of miles away ! Traveling to the planets or travels between planets will be man’ s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more exciting.
Recently, two American unmanned spacecraft, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars in an attempt to discover whether that planet had any life on it. So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely, dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists believe that in the future, space stations can be built in space. These stations can act as stop-over points in space. Spacecraft can refuel at these stations and get their supply of air, food and water.
Spaceships of the future will be bigger and faster. They will be able to carry passengers for trips to the moon or planets.
Man may in the future find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, and make them his home. However such a possibility is still in the distant future. At the same time, Man should realize that the Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to value and care for it.
Which of the following statements is true？
A．Recently, two American astronauts have landed on Mars.
B．The surface of Mars is very hot.
C．The journey to the moon started the future exploration in space.
D．There is life in Venus.

The latest generation of Honda's solar cars, the Dream, broke the record in this year's World Solar Challenge (WSC). Starting in Darwin on Sunday, 26th October, the two-man, four-wheel vehicle completed the 3010-kin-course to Adelaide in just 33 hours and 32 minutes, taking two and a half hours off the remarkable time set three years ago by the previous Honda Dream team in a lighter, one-man, three-wheel vehicle.
The latest Dream managed an average speed of 89.76 km/h, compared to 84.96 km/h for the previous one, despite stormy winds and uphill slope slowing all the competitors during the event's second day. However, during the final day's run from the South Australian desert mining town of Coober Pedy to Adelaide, the Dream cruised(以发动机效率最高的速度行驶) at 100 km/h, occasionally accelerating to 110 km/h. "We are very tired and very happy," the Dream team's project leader, Masashi Kitagawa, told the crowd of reporters waiting at the finish line at Adelaid's Technology Park.
The School of Biel team placed second, an hour and 28 minutes behind the Dream, having averaged 86 km/h. The Swiss engineering school is Honda's perennial rival(竞争对手) in this event, having beaten Honda in 1990 to set a course record of 38.50 hours. However, they placed a distant second to the Honda Dream in the 1993 event. A full report, along with pictures, will appear in the next issue of Honda: The Magazine.
The phrase "the latest generation of Honda's solar ears, the Dream" implies that ______.
A．Honda is a car maker
B．the Dream is a model of solar car produced by Honda
C．Honda's solar technologies are being improved over time
D．all of the above

The future of business lies not in selling products but in selling dreams and emotions, according to Rolf Jensen, director of the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies. In his new book, The Dream Society, he profiles six distinct "emotional markets".
The Market for Adventures offers customers safaris, theme parks, sports, and action/ adventure TV shows and movies.
Nike's ties to the "Adventure" market made it willing to pay a reported ＄400 million simply for the right to sponsor Brazil's outstanding national soccer team, thereby boosting the brand's image as the footwear of champions. Such an investment makes sense in a market where consumers find many products with comparable features and quality and must find some reason to choose one over the others.
The Market for Love, Friendship, and Togetherness has such offerings as perfume, gifts, home photography, restaurants, and entertainment.
Tapping the "Togetherness" market, Guinness Brewery has teamed with an Irish firm to establish a chain for "authentic" Irish pubs in cities around the world--where Irish charm and British beer sell briskly in each other's company.
The Market for Care recently offered a product that captured children's desire to nurture and care for pets. The Tamagotchi is a demanding little electronic puppy that beeps for attention from its owner. Real pets are becoming hotel amenities in some places.
The Who-Am-I Market offers products that proclaim their owner's identity, like fashion, automobiles, and accessories.
Louis Vuitton suitcases, for instance, tell a story that their owners want to tell the world: "I am an exciting person, gliding with perfect ease through pos}t hotels all over the world, and I do it in style. ' Other consumers may want their purchases to proclaim their environmental awareness, so they may buy "bird friendly" coffee, grown only in shaded areas so endangered birds may be preserved. Eco-Sustainable Shady coffee and Caribou Coffee's Rainforest Blend are among several such offerings.
The Peace of Mind Market features nostalgia, history, and antiques.
In rapidly changing times, many people seek the serenity of the familiar, be it the bistros of Paris or small-town life in the US. For instance, First National Bank in Brookings, South Dakota, proclaims, "We strive to maintain the small-town banking atmosphere while growing and changing with the technological age. "
The Conviction Market, last of the six markets, includes "green" products, humane testing, and worker welfare.
While many companies may be reluctant to become overly political, they can highlight their involvement in the community and market to their customers' need to make purchase that are in line with their convictions. Among companies taking this approach are British Petroleum, which uses its Web site to report on the company's Community Development Programme, and Mobil, which accentuates its concern for local populations of countries in which it does business.
Jenson believes that companies will increasingly let consumers in on the story-telling process. Companies will come to value storytellers not only in their creative advertising departments, but in executive positions, where refashioning a company's history and traditions into an appealing myth will be crucial for winning the enthusiasm of employees, the affection of customers, and the respect of the general public. As the stories get better, sales should soar.
What may be Roll Jensen's main purpose of classifying these six distinct markets？
A．To classify different companies into corresponding market.
B．To invite businesses to consider how to best profit from them.
C．To set some models for companies in the market.
D．To predict trends in the market.

听力原文： Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that is needed, and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming takes place. And we arc beginning to understand the importance of the dream period in our sleep cycles.
In passive sleep the body is at rest. We move very little. And the brain becomes very inactive, ff a person continues to sleep, she or he enters anew period, a more active period. The body goes through several changes: the brain temperature rises, blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very still and the brain goes into active state. And as the brain goes active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. And that is the sign of another change---the person is dreaming. Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams---in fact, that everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kind of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds,
What does not happen in the brain in the active sleep？
A．The brain becomes very active.
B．The brain becomes very inactive.
C．The brain temperature rises.
D．The brain blood rises.

I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream？
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population lives in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on tire same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quietness.
What, then, is the answer？ The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life doesn't come to an end at half past nine at night. Some people have found(or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the "quiet life" by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the village.
What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring "morning" to the locals as they pass by？ I'm keen on the idea, but you see there's my cat, Toby. I'm not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm？ No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.
One of the disadvantages of living in high-rise buildings is that ______.
A．the parents may become violent and difficult to put up with
B．the residents may not have a good view from their windows
C．the residents may become indifferent to their neighbors
D．the children may become too frustrated to be controlled
