1、Step right up and prove why you should get a one-way ticket to Mars! Well, wait——you might want to know a little more about the venture first.
A Dutch company called Mars One began looking Monday for volunteer astronauts to fly to Mars. Departure for the Red Planet is scheduled for 2022, landing seven months later in 2023.
The space travelers will return...never. They will finish out their lives on Mars, representatives from the nonprofit said. “It’s likely that there will be a crematorium (火葬场), ” said CEO Bas Lansdorp. “It’s up to the people on Mars to decide what to do with their death.”
Still, the company said it has received more than 10,000 e-mails from interested would-be spacefarers.
The one-way ticket makes the mission possible because it greatly reduces costs, and the technology for a return flight doesn’t exist, according to Mars One’s website. At a news conference, Lansdorp maintained that “no new inventions are needed to land humans on Mars.”
The biggest obstacles, he said, are financial. The company has revealed some of its sponsors and hopes to gain more via media coverage. It’s not clear whether enough money will be collected in time. There are also practical issues: Can the kinks in having a sustainable system for people to survive in such a harsh environment be worked out by 2023?
“Questions of reliability and robustness have to be answered before we leave Earth,” said Grant Anderson of Paragon Space Development Corporation, which builds life-support systems and is joining the Mars One effort.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
2. The word “spacefarers” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to（ ）.
3. The most difficult part of the program is that（ ）.
4. What are the practical issues of the program?
5. The word “robustness” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to（ ） .

A． Mars One is a company from Holland.

B． The journey from the earth to Mars may last for seven months.

C． The astronauts will live forever on Mars.

D． This is a one-way journey from the earth to Mars.

A． space travelers

B． space builders

C． space flyers

D． space designers

A． they haven’t discovered the way to land humans on Mars

B． they haven't found the technology for the return flight

C． the program costs too much

D． they haven’t received much fund from their sponsors and other sources

A． How to get enough money in time-

B． How do people live on Mars sustainably-

C． How to keep the environment sustainable-

D． How to make the program reliable-

A． health

B． safely

C． comfort

D． sustainability

2、The discovery that language can be a barrier to communication is quickly made by all who travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing, business or data dissemination, the lack of a common language can severely impede progress or can halt it altogether.
Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major con sequences, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems or fatal accidents——even, at times, war. One reported instance of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom and two of them died because of no remedy. In fact, a treatment for this case had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.
Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated examples do not give an impression of the size of the problem——something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted.
The language barrier presents itself in stark form to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticized for its linguistic insularity——for its assumption that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, notably the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English speaking countries were by no means exempt——although the widespread use of English as an alternative language made them less open to the charge of insularity.
The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training schemes have promoted an increase in linguistic and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services. Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved. It is now much more readily appreciated that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged or disrupted by a failure to take account of the linguistic needs of the customer.
1. Which of the following words can be best used to replace the word “impede” in the first paragraph?
2. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 2?
3. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that（ ）.
4. The word “insularity” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to（ ） .
5. It will be a tendency for the companies to（ ） according to the passage.

A． stop

B． hinder

C． inhabit

D． obstacle

A． Few people know that language can be communication problems.

B． Communication failure may lead to severe consequences such as war.

C． Two Americans died because there was no treatment for such illness in the world.

D． The example shows that publicity in English is very important.

A． the scientific world only speaks English

B． books and documents are mostly written in English

C． English-speaking scientists rarely consult foreign-language materials

D． The study of these comparable cases is very important

A． openness

B． inclusiveness

C． narrowness

D． uniqueness

A． provide more industrial training schemes

B． do more publicity work

C． design more linguistic courses to make money

D． improve the multilinguistic competence of their employees
