Nelson Mandela turns 91 on the 18th of July, and the call has gone out for people everywhere to celebrate his birthday and the global launch of Mandela Day by acting on the idea that each person has the power to change the world. The call by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and its sister organizations for the creation of an official global Mandela Day is gaining great support. It is to be celebrated on the 18th of July every year —Mandela’s birthday.The celebration of Mandela Day aims to call on people to "recognize their power and devote 67 minutes to making an imprint and helping change the world around them for the better", the Nelson Mandela Foundation said at the launch of the campaign in April."Nelson Mandela has been making an imprint on the world for 67 years, beginning in 1942 when he first started to fight for the human rights of every South African. His life has been an inspiration to the world."Mandela said at the time of the launch, that he would be " honored if such a day can serve to bring together people around the world to fight poverty and improve peace."Former US president Bill Clinton said Mandela’s example showed that "the power of public good does not require public office, but just a well-placed heart and a determined mind."South African President Jacob Zuma said it would give people "in South Africa and all over the world the opportunity to do something good to help others. Let us wholeheartedly support Mandela Day and encourage the world to join us in thiswonderful campaign."56.The underlined word "launch" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "______".A. celebrationB. creationC. realizationD. activity 57.The aim of setting up Mandela Day is to ______.A. celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthdayB. improve the international position of South AfricaC. encourage people to fight against povertyD. call on people to make the world a much better place58.It can be inferred from the passage that Bill Clinton and Jacob Zuma ______.A. do not support some ideas of Nelson MandelaB. were too busy to attend Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday celebrationC. think highly of the contribution Nelson Mandela has made to the worldD. disagree with the idea of setting up a global Mandela Day59.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nelson Mandela began to fight for the human rights in 1942.B. It took 67 minutes to celebrate Mandela’s birthday.C. Presidents from all around the world will attend the celebration.D. The Nelson Mandela Foundation made 18th July as Mandela Day.BIt happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US president. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book”. However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day survey, Dreams from My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in depth! The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named J.K. Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the backof the book to read the end before finishing the story.So which books have you lied about reading — if any — and which is your favourite?60.The main reason why people lie about reading is to _________.A. make fun of the listenerB. impress the listenerC. please the listenerD. interest the listener61.The underlined word “proceeded” in the passage probably means “_________”.A. wantedB. happenedC. continuedD. stopped 62.What does the World Book Day survey show?A. Nearly half of the people surveyed didn’t read through a whole classical book.B. People don’t like Dreams from My Father and George Orwell’s 1984.C. Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.D. People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.63.What is the best title for the passage?A. Are You a Book Liar?B. Readers Are All LiarsC. World Book DayD. Dreams from My FatherCAmericans think that travel is good for you, some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime.Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”. He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons, 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.It’s hard work on the road. The work starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girl have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them . Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today Americans still say, “Go west, young man.”64.In the last paragraph, “leave crime behind them” means .A.no longer do a crime B.leave people who do a crimeC.don’t do all the crimes D.leave criminals behind65.From the passage we can infer that .A.getting up before the sun rises can help people out of crimeB.we can hardly find a person who has no love for anybody or anythingC.traveling can help all criminals out of prisonD.being brave and strong can do with crime66.On “Vision Quest”_______A.young people have had problemsB.young people grow tall very fastC.young people often help their friends in time of dangerD.young people can do anything freely67.Americans still say, “Go west, young man”, because______ .A.if they go west they can have a travelB.in the west they will live a happy lifeC.there they have to live a hard life, which is helpfulD.the west is a rich and beautiful placeDGiving BackThe Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. "No one would have known," said Wobum's instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: "The prize wasn't ours to take."Coin Stars"College students are lazy, but they also want to help," says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her "Change for Change" effort has collected $40,000 for charities, which were decided upon by students.Never ForgottenA school in Massachusetts received a $ 9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth. But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school. Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s. When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board. LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.68.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?A. Took photos of Doran.B. Had a meeting with Doran.C. Returned the prize to the organizer.D. Apologized to Wobum HighSchool.69.Greg Rota's decision shows that he was _______.A. honestB. politeC. carefulD. friendly70.What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr. LeBermuth?A.

Clearly they knew at what time thetrain passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway,wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Oftenwhole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on thetrains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first timeI was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had broughtalong a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There wasnot one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. JohoreBaru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowdsof people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straightrows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came intosight. Immediately I came alive, I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazine into the wastebasket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everythingas if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm .Soon the train pulledup at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrive with a smile, I threw my around him to give him a warm hug.I had never done this before.

There are probably few people who haven’t seen a dog waggi ng his tail,and most of the time it’s obvious what the dog is tryi ng to tell you with this kind of body language.It is important,ho wever,that you pay attention to how the dog is holding his tail when he’s wagging it.Is it relaxed and moving back and forth? Is his body moving al ong with the wagging? Or is the tail high and moving quickly b ack and forth while the dog’s body remains fairly erect and stiff (竖直僵硬的)? Where the tail is and the way a dog holds his body while he’s wagging it can give you a clue about what he is trying to communicate.Most people look at a dog with a wagging tail and assume he is happy.Most of the time this is true,but there are times when a dog wags his tail right before he becomes aggressive.If a d og is wagging his tail and the rest of his body seems relaxed or is moving along with the wagging,you are dealing with a ha ppy and comfortable dog.If a dog is holding his body erect and stiff while wagging his ta il,however,he may be telling you that he’s feeling territorial or uncomfortable with something that is going on around him.In t his case,the dog’s tail will be held high and moving back and f orth rapidly.This discomfort can be a sign to attack.This is one reason people sometimes report that a dog was w agging his tail right before he bit someone.So if you come acr oss a dog you don’t know who is wagging his tail,check out w hat the rest of his body language is telling you before you app roach.3.A dog’s tail holding high and moving back and forth rapidly s hows he may be .A.aggressiveB.frightenedC.friendlyD.relaxed4.What are people expected to do when meeting a strange do g?A.Train him to be friendly.B.Judge him by his body langu age.C.Ask the owner for help.D.Approach him slowly.5.What is the best title of this passage?A.Signs of a Dog’s BitesB.A Special CommunicationC.A Pet Dog—Humans’ FriendD.Dogs’ Feeling Expression —Wagging TailCIn presentday China, we can find two types of fast food — we stern food and Chinese food.However, not until the recent dec ade has western fast food become popular in China.Before th e first hamburger walked its way into the Chinese food market , we had little idea about such terms as hot dogs, pizza, potat o chips, let alone KFC and McDonald’s.It is the reform and op eningup policy that has brought about the interflow of the food culture between China and the western countries.Fast food, both Chinese food and western food, has several a dvantages.In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast.The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers.This saves people’s precious time, and conseq uently goes well with the tempo of life in modern society. Secondly, it is very convenient.As we know, fast food restaura nts are much the same as cafeterias.Customers may feel free to help themselves to any variety provided and eat to their he arts’ content.Thirdly, fast food restaurants are environmentally_comfortable .Clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people’s appetite to eat more.The above mentioned advantages make fast food become ro oted in almost all parts of the country and enjoy popularity am ong people.That’s also why nowadays Singapore fast food, T urkish fast food and IndiaPakistan fast food have found their h omes in China.As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvanta ges such as lack of nutrition and dull taste.Nevertheless, thes e are minor points compared with its advantages.Since most people agree with fast food, it tends to grow more rapidly. 6.What’s the best title for this passage?A.The Road to the Western Fast FoodB.The Growth of Fast Food in ChinaC.Singapore Fast Food in ChinaD.Every Coin Has Two Sides7.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.All the fast food is cooked hot.B.Fast food is worth its name.C.Fast food is ready for pupils.D.Fast food is especially convenient for those going to office s.8.What do the words“environmentally comfortable”mean? A.It will help keep the babies healthy.B.It will help fight against disease.C.It will help form good habits.D.It’s a pleasure for a customer to have fast food in the rest aurant.DResearchers have developed new software using smartphone s’ GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction o f moving objects.The software could eventually allow smartph onearmed soldiers to target the location of their enemies.On t he home front, the software could be used by everyone, including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists docu menting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it.“The great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so m any tools in a single, readily available, relatively inexpensive p ackage,” said Wang Qia, a doctoral student who led the dev elopment of the software.“For example, on the battlefield, a so ldier needs a rangefinder, compass, GPS and other tools to g et information before calling in an air strike.With our software, the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that c an be purchased off the shelf.When that soldier returns from war, she can use the same software to protect her family by cl ocking a speeder near her cauldron’s school and cat clung th e criminal on video.Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate a nd track:Targets of known size — when the size of the target is known, a single image is enough to pinpoint the tar get’s location. Targets of unknown size — if the exact size of a target is unk nown, the software uses two images to triangulate the locatio n of the target.Moving targets — by taking a short video of a moving target, t he smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is m oving and in what direction it is going.“Currently, our software is limited by the physical abilities of s martphone hardware, but the devices are improving rapidly,” Wang said.“We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy, battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to m ake even more accurate observations.”9.From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software can ________.A.determine the speed of moving objectsB.locate objects in the distance exactlyC.defend soldiers against their enemiesD.help biologists protect rare animals10.How does the software calculate the speed of a moving o bject?A.By taking a short video. B.By locating its position. C.By taking a single image. D.By measuring its reallife si ze.11.What’s Wang Qia’ s attitude towards the future of the soft ware?A.Casual. B.Optimistic.C.Cautious. D.Flexible.12.What is the best title of the text?A.Wang Qia, a Talented Doctoral StudentB.Use Smartphones to Their Full PotentialC.Targeting and Tracking with Smartphones D.Smartphone — Armed Soldiers on the BattlefieldEThe reason why blues became so popular can only be unders tood when you look at its time of creation. The origin of blues i s too unclear to pinpoint (准确定位) to one artist or one year.It’s believed that the blues music was created in the late 19th century by the black slaves that were forced to work in the cotton fields.Blues has firm roots in African traditional music.But above all else, the purpose of m aking the blues is always the same: the expression of intense emotions.It is one reason why this type of music had such a d eep effect on America, and eventually the world.Blues_is_usually_categorized_by_the_location_of_a_style_bec ause_everywhere_the_blues_went,_it_caught_a_different_feel .Mississippi delta (三角洲) blues came from the Mississippi delta region. It’s the oldes t known form of blues, from which other forms later developed .Artists included in this style are Muddy Waters and MemphisMinnie.Chicago blues came next, when the delta musicians started tr aveling to the big city to look for a better life. That is why Mud dy Waters can be considered as both a delta blues man and a Chicago blues artist.The biggest difference between the two styles is the use of electric guitars and a slightly faster pace in the latter.Texas blues came out after America saw how big Chicago blu es was getting. The style was made famous by artists like Lig htnin’ Hopkins and Freddie King.Blues rock was one of the last big blues styles to hit it big.It’s l argely inspired by the Chicago blues and started in the 1960s by bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival and ZZ Top. 13.What do we know about blues from Paragraph 1?A.It was created by a very famous artist.B.It came into being in the late 1800s.C.It was created by black people in Africa.D.It was created to encourage slaves to work harder. 14.We can infer from the underlined sentence that ________. A.it’s very hard to categorize bluesB.blues isn’t popular in all cities in AmericaC.blues is a mixture of various kinds of musicD.blues developed when it arrived in a new city15.We infer Creedence Clearwater Revival and ZZ Top mai nly played ________.A.Mississippi delta bluesB.Chicago bluesC.Texas bluesD.blues rock第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But they have a long history. The first one was made by a Greek inventor. You may have seen robots in some films. The robots in these films are stronger faster and cleverer than people. In real life, most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous, difficult or boring jobs. Some people can’t look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example, some people can’t see. Many of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This dog is called a guide dog. Scientists are making a robot to help them. In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guidedogs. Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital,a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the sick people’s rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.In the future, robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of human. They can,however, help us in a lot of different ways.36.

Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months."We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work," said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management. They also asked some local businessmen to act as their consultants."They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job," said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency, profits knowledge and so on."It makes the company more formal," she said.21. What is the purpose of opening the company?A. To earn money for their education fees.B. To spread love and culture with seeds.C. To see whether they can open a company.D. To collect money to open a Hope School.22. What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph) refer to?A. Selling seeds.B. To have a person as CEO.C. Every colleague's performance.D. To make her colleagues work efficiently.23. According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?A. Communication skills and teamwork.B. Creative and critical thinking.C. Educational background.D. Business theories.24. What can we learn from the passage?A. The company is owned by 8 students.B. The company is over-night successful.C. The company gets a lot of help from others.D. The company sells old books and fresh flowers.BFrankly,I appreciate myself very much. Yes,I admit I’m in many aspects not as good as other people,but I don’t think I’m always not good.When I find what I’ve done or written is okay,I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days,and if I receive praise for it,I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to reward myself.True,I’m not modest at all.People may call me conceited (自负的).But I think otherwise.I appreciate other people. I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?We Chinese generally tend to be modest,and we take pride in being so. For example,a Chinese man will call his own wife zhuojing,meaning “my humble wife”,and his own writings zhuozuo,meaning “my poor writings”.But if you call his wife a “rustic (乡村的) woman” or his writings“trash”,he would,I’m sure,declare he would make a clean break with you angrily. As a matter of fact,there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you.I don’t think it’s wrong of you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise. As we know,there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑视) a melon seller,named Lao Wang,who keeps praising his own goods. Well,why can’t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he,by imitating the affectations (装模作样) of us intellectuals,were to show false modesty about his melons?He would sure enough die of starvation.Self- appreciation is therefore a key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work. Needless to say,the same is true of those who make a living with their pen. One will lose confidence in writing when he stops admiring his own essays.25.We know from the first three paragraphs that the author________.A.is modest in some way B.is pleased to be a good writerC.is too conceited D.thinks it unfair to appreciate others26.What do we know about the author’s attitude towards Chinese modesty according to Paragraph 4?A.Supportive. B.Negative C.Neutral. D.Careless.27.The author mentions the example of Lao Wang to prove that______.A.Lao Wang is very proud of himself B.melon sellers should praise their goods C.reasonable self- appreciation is good D.writers should learn from Lao Wang 28.The purpose of the passage is to encourage readers to be________.A.modest B.considerate C.respectful D.confidentCAbout 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as wecan’t drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans w ere so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!29. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?A. small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals→manB. algae→microscopic animals→large animals→larger animals→manC. small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→manD. microscopic animals→algae→large animals →larger animals→man30. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ________.A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the seaB. would change the balance of the food chainC. would be broken down in the s eaD. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea31. From the passage, we learn that _________.A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC. excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD. it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved32. What would be the best title of the passage?A. The importance of seawater.B. Life in the oceans.C. How to protect food chains.D. How to deal with seawater pollution.DScientists said on Thursday they have for the first time detected gravitational (引力的) waves, ripples (涟波) in space and time hypothesized (假设) by physicist Albert Einstein a century ago, in a landmark discovery that opens a new window for studying the cosmos.Discovering gravitational waves would be a huge deal for physics, cosmology, and our understanding of the universe at large. But if you’re not a scientist studying one of the mentioned fields, it’s possible you’ve never h eard of these mysterious ripples. So what are gravitational waves and why is the discovery so significant?Gravitational waves are disturbances in space-time, the very fabric of the universe, that travel at the speed of light. The waves are sent out by any mass that is changing speed ordirection. The simplest example is a binary (二元的) system, where a pair of stars or compact objects (like black holes) orbit their common center of mass.We can think of gravitational effects as curvatures (曲率) in space-time. Earth’s gravity is constant and produces a static curve in space-time. A gravitational wave is a curvature that moves through space-time much like a water wave moves across the surface of a lake. It is generated only when masses are speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.The new discovery was made by a group of more than 1,000 scientists from universities around the United States as well as in 14 other countries. Director David Reitze announced on Thursday at a press conference that they detected gravitational waves.While opening a door to new ways to observe the universe, scientists said gravitational waves should help them gain knowledge about mysterious objects like black holes and neutron stars. The waves also may provide insight into the mysterious nature of the very early universe.The scientists said that because gravitational waves are so radically (彻底地) different from electromagnetic waves they expect them to reveal big surprises about the universe.33. Discovering gravitational waves would be a huge deal for _______.A. medicine.B. literature.C. cosmology.D. philosophy.34. The author explains the term of gravitational waves _______.A. by classifyingB. by giving cause and effectC. by making a comparisonD. by presenting a definition35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Scientists can get further information about the universe by studying gravitational waves.B. Scientists expect gravitational waves to reveal big surprises about the universe.C. Gravitational waves are so radically different from electromagnetic waves.D. Scientists from all the world work together to study the mystery of the solar system.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
