In one experiment, for example, behavioral immunologist (免疫学家) Mark Laudenslager, at the University of Denver, gave mild electric shocks to 24 rats. Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in their enclosure, while the other half could not. The rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that lack of control over an event, not the experience itself, is what weakens the immune system.Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss, a psychologist at Duke University School of Medicine, has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasant stimuli don't develop sleep disturbances or changes in brain chemistry typical of stressed rats. But if the animals are confronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control. Such findings reinforce psychologists' suspicions that the experience or perception of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in depression.One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immune response was discovered by chance. In 1975 psychologist Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine conditioned (使形成条件反射) mice to avoid saccharin（糖精）by simultaneously feeding them the sweetener and injecting them with a drug that while suppressing their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Associating the saccharin with the stomach pains, the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener. In order to extinguish this dislike for the sweetener, Ader re-exposed the animals to saccharin, this time without the drug, and was astonished to find that those mice that had received the highest amounts of sweetener during their earlier conditioning died. He could only speculate that he had so successfully conditioned the rats that saccharin alone now served to weaken their immune systems enough to kill them.1. Laudenslager's experiment showed that the immune system of those rats who could turn off the electricity .A) was strengthened C) was alteredB) was not affected D) was weakened2. According to the passage, the experience of helplessness causes rats to .A) try to control unpleasant stimuli B) turn off the electricityC) behave passively in controllable situations D) become abnormally suspicious3. The reason why the mice in Ader's experiment avoided saccharin was that .A) they disliked its taste B) it affected their immune systemsC) it led to stomach pains D) they associated it with stomachaches4. The passage tells us that the most probable reason for the death of the mice in Ader's experiment was that .A) they had been weakened psychologically by the saccharinB) the sweetener was poisonous to themC) their immune systems had been altered by the mindD) they had taken too much sweetener during earlier conditioning5. It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems of animals .A) can be weakened by conditioning B) can be suppressed by drug injectionsC) can be affected by frequent doses of saccharin D) can be altered by electric shocks1小题>、【正确答案】：B2小题>、【正确答案】：C3小题>、【正确答案】：D4小题>、【正确答案】：C5小题>、【正确答案】：A【参考解析】：无第32题：The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing (把…固定) legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon (放任). Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays - not only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it.It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industry's and our recognition that protecting mankind's great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Yes, the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the charge.We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspectiveto make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.1. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because .A) they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doingB) they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interestsC) time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on itD) it is difficult for them to take effective measures2. The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is . A) to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasionB) to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protectionC) to take radical measures to control environmental pollutionD) to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards3. The word "tunnel-visioned" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means " ".A) narrow-minded C) short-sighted B) blind to the factsD) able to see only one aspect4. Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?A) Legislation and government intervention.B) The industry's understanding and support.C) The efforts of environmental health professionals.D) The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists.5. Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?A) Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measures.B) More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.C) Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on pollution.D) Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.1小题>、【正确答案】：B2小题>、【正确答案】：B3小题>、【正确答案】：D4小题>、【正确答案】：C5小题>、【正确答案】：C【参考解析】：无第33题：British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a free education is at risk. The universities have threatened to impose an admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and scrap some public spending cutbacks.The government responded to the universities' threat by setting up the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation, under a non-party troubleshooter (调停人), Sir Ron Dearing.One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years agoEveryone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money - but there is little hope of getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business.Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs, something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain. Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now. They await Dearing'sadvice, hoping it will not be too late - some are already reported to be in financial difficulty.As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under the microscope. Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk of the need for lifelong learning and refer to students as "consumers."The Confederation (联盟) of British Industry, the key employers' organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies. But the government has doubts about more expansion. The Times newspaper agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to "ass production methods more typical of European universities."1. The chief concern of British universities is .A) how to tackle their present financial difficultyB) how to expand the enrollment to meet the needs of enterprisesC) how to improve their educational technologyD) how to put an end to the current tendency of quality deterioration2. We can learn from the passage that in Britain .A) the government pays dearly for its financial policyB) universities are mainly funded by businessesC) higher education is provided free of chargeD) students are ready to accept loan schemes for tuition3. What was the percentage of high school graduates admitted to universities in Britain thirty years ago?A) 20% or so. C) Above 30%.B) About 15%. D) Below 10%.4. It can be inferred from the passage that .A) the British government will be forced to increase its spending on higher educationB) British employers demand an expansion in enrollment at the expense of qualityC) the best way out for British universities is to follow their European counterpartsD) British students will probably have to pay for their higher education in the near future5. Which of the following is the viewpoint of the Times newspaper?A) Expansion in enrollment is bound to affect the quality of British higher education.B) British universities should expand their enrollment to meet the needs of industry.C) European universities can better meet the needs of the modern world.D) British universities should help fight competition on world markets.1小题>、【正确答案】：A2小题>、【正确答案】：C3小题>、【正确答案】：D4小题>、【正确答案】：D5小题>、【正确答案】：A【参考解析】：无第34题：There's a simple premise behind what Larry Myers does for a living: If you can smell it, you can find it.Myers is the founder of Auburn University's Institute for Biological Detection Systems, the main task of which is to chase the ultimate in detection devices - an artificial nose.For now, the subject of their research is little more than a stack of gleaming chips tucked away in a laboratory drawer. But soon, such a tool could be hanging from the belts of police, arson (纵火) investigators and food-safety inspectors.The technology that they are working on would suggest quite reasonably that, within three to five years, we'll have some workable sensors ready to use. Such devices might find wide use in places that attract terrorists. Police could detect drugs, bodies and bombs hidden in cars, while food inspectors could easily test food and water for contamination.The implications for revolutionary advances in public safety and the foodindustry are astonishing. But so, too, are the possibilities for abuse: Such machines could determine whether a woman is ovulating (排卵), without a physical exam - or even her knowledge.One of the traditional protectors of American liberty is that it has been impossible to search everyone. That's getting not to be the case.Artificial biosensors created at Auburn work totally differently from anything ever seen before. AromaScan, for example, is a desktop machine based on a bank of chips sensitive to specific chemicals that evaporate into the air. As air is sucked into the machine, chemicals pass over the sensor surfaces and produce changes in the electrical current flowing through them. Those current changes are logged into a computer that sorts out odors based on their electrical signatures.Myers says they expect to load a single fingernail-size chip with thousands of odor receptors (感受器), enough to create a sensor that's nearly as sensitive as a dog's nose.1. Which of the following is within the capacity of the artificial nose being developed? A) Performing physical examinations.B) Locating places which attract terrorists.C) Detecting drugs and water contamination.D) Monitoring food processing.2. A potential problem which might be caused by the use of an artificial nose is .A) negligence of public safety C) a hazard to physical healthB) an abuse of personal freedom D) a threat to individual privacy3. The word "logged" (Line 5, Para. 7) most probably means " ".A) preset C) processedB) entered D) simulated4.

For one thing, when it is beyond our ability, we should give a direct reply no. For another, we the thing we are asked for is unreasonable or even illegal, we should say no without hesitation.However, it is not the case in our real life. Many people prefer to say yes when they should say no. Some are afraid to lose their face, since they think refusal means their inability. Some people are afraid to offend their acquaintances face, such as their friends, relatives and so on.In fact, doing so is quite harmful. If you agree to do the things beyond your ability, the result will only be worse. The other might as well have asked another person who can help.

大学英语六级考试试题（1999年1月）Part I Reading ComprehensionQuestions 01-05 are based on the following passage:In managing information resources, the medium may be the key to an effective system. The medium is a vehicle, a tool, or a container for holding information; the information itself is the thing of value.Three popular categories of information media are paper, film, and electronic storage devices The media choice must not be viewed as a choice among these three, however; it must be viewed a s an opportunity to select from a multitude of media possibilities in combinations that build effective systems. In many instances the person responsible for information-resource management is not the person who determines the medium in which information will be created. In such a case, the manager of a firm's information resources faces a challenge in making a significant contribution to the organization's objectives.For effective management of information resources, media conversion may be necessary. Examples include keying or scanning paper documents to convert them to electronic media. Other processes convert electronic media from one format to another. For example, disk files created on one system may not be compatible with another system. Various hardware and software combinations can be used to convert files to formats that equipment will accept. For information generated within organizations, this necessity of making systems compatible may be eliminated by cooperative planning. However, very little control can be exercised over the media used to generate information that comes to your organization from the outside.The medium for information may be selected to satisfy a need that exists when information is created and communicated. For example, a paper record may be created because of its portability and because no special equipment is necessary for later references to that information; electronic transmission may be selected because it is the fastest means of communicating information. A firm may use electronic mail because a network already exists for on-line computer communication. The additional application may cost less than postage to mail paper memos.01. Which of the following can best sum up the passage?A. Media Selection in Managing Information Resources.B. The Importance and Necessity of Media Conversion.C. Three Categories of Information Media.D. Various Means of Communicating Information02. The first paragraph aims at telling the reader ____.A. the importance of information resources managementB. the relationship between the medium and informationC. the great variety of media for holding informationD. the numerous resources of information03. According to the author, ____.A. paper is the best storage deviceB. people have three choices in selecting information mediaC. it is better to let the person responsible for information-resource management determine the mediumD. the manager should build an effective system by selecting a good combination of different media04. For effective management of information resources, the manager should ____.A. convert all paper documents to electronic mediaB. make media conversion when necessaryC. control the media used to generate information both inside and outside his organizationD. use one format in processing information05. The main idea of the last paragraph is ____.A. paper record is the most convenient medium for later referenceB. electronic mail costs less than postage to mail paper memosC. different media for information may be selected for different purposesD. by using different media, a firm can create various information for its objectivesQuestions 06-10 are based on the following passage:Many leading scientists down through the years form Galieo to Einstein have been deeply religious. They have been intrigued by the essential mystery of life and material existence, and have recognized that spiritual as well as scientific understanding is needed.Two biologists might examine a living cell under a microscope. One will see there the handiwork of God; the other will see only what evolution has chanced to produce. And yet both will agree on the cell's biological history, its composition, its structure, and its function. One physicist will find God in the exquisitely organized and exact laws of the physical universe. Another physicist will not be able to see anything beyond the laws themselves. The religious views of a scientist do not come from his science; they come from his entire philosophy, his whole view of the world. But scientists are not unique in this matter; the same disparity of thinking is to be found among people from all walks of life.In the modern world, science serves two important functions. One is to provide the basis for a scientific technology. It is in this way that science has the greatest influence on our daily living. Through technology, we advance the structure of civilization and gain increasing domination over the earth and adjoining portions of the universe. The other purpose served by science is one of understanding. Through science, we discover how phenomena occur and, to a limited extent, why they happen the way they do. Vital processes are analysed and studied, that we may know more of how organisms function, and how they have come to be what they are. Through science, we seek to know that a man is - how his body works and why he thinks and dreams. As we search to know ourselves and the workings of our minds, we expect to find solutions to problems of confusion and discontent. Science is a way to understanding, but in some ways it is a narrow path that does not touch on all the questions posed by the facts of human life. Science does not provide a way of life; it does not create a moral order. It is quite obvious that not all human knowledge can be reduced to scientific terms. Interpretations of the ultimate meaning and value of life will, in the final analysis, be made more on the basis of spiritual awareness than on scientific acuity.06. According to the author, many leading scientists ____.A. have acknowledged that only religion can explain the mystery of lifeB. have been puzzled by the mystery of life and material thingsC. have attempted to explain physical life from a religious point of viewD. have engaged in intrigue trying to solve the mystery of life07. The author suggests in the second paragraph that ____.A. while some physicists conclude from the laws of nature that there is a God, others draw no such conclusionB. it is only by studying philosophy that a man can develop religious beliefsC. by examining a living cell under a microscope biologists can understand the process of evolutionD. there is a disparity of thinking between scientists and people from other walks of life regarding science and religion08. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, "this matter" refers to ____.A. the fact that a scientist's religious views derive from his whole outlook on lifeB. the fact that some people believe in God while others do notC. the disparity of thinking between scientists and people from other walks of lifeD. the disparity in the religious conclusions drawn from the observation of natural phenomena09. In the third paragraph "scientific technology" is ____.A. the application of scientific knowledge to the skills of industryB. the application of science and industry to daily lifeC. science and industry as the basis of progressD. the use of science and industrial techniques in gaining control of the universe10. In the third paragraph it is mentioned that by means of science ____ are analyzed and studied.A. the ways in which cells formedB. changes in organic lifeC. the main ways in which organisms developD. processes on which organic life dependsQuestions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Joseph Weizenbaum, professor of computer science at MIT, thinks that the sense of power over the machine ultimately corrupts the computer hacker and makes him into a not very-desirable sort of programmer. The hackers are so involved with designing their program, making it more and more complex and bending it to their will, that they don't bother trying to make it understandable to other users. They rarely keep records of their programs for the benefit of others, and they take rarely time to understand why a problem occurred.Computer science teachers say they can usually pick out the prospective hackers in their courses because these students make their homework assignments more complex than they need to be. Rather than using the simplest and most direct method, they take joy in adding extra steps just to prove their ingenuity.But perhaps those hackers know something that we don't about the shape of things to come. "That hacker who had to be literally dragged off his chair at MIT is now a multimillionaire of the computer industry," says MIT professor Michael Dertouzos. "And two former hackers became the founders of the highly successful Apple home computer company."When seen in this light, the hacker phenomenon may not be so strange after all. If, as many psychiatrists say, play is really the basis for all human activity, then the hacker games are really the preparation for future developments.Sherry Turkle, a professor of sociology at MIT, has for years been studying the way computers fit into people's lives. She points out that the computer, because it seems to us to be so "intelligent," so "capable," so..."human" affects the way we think about ourselves and our ideas about what we are. She says that computers and computer toys already play an important role in children's efforts to develop an identity by allowing them to test ideas about what is alive and what is not."The youngsters can form as many subtle nuances and textured relationships with the computers as they can with people."Turke points out.11. The passage tells about ____.A. the strange behaviour of the computer hackersB. the ultimate importance of bringing up computer hackersC. the different opinions concerning the hacker phenomenonD. what has caused the emergence of computer hackers12. According to Prof. Weizenbaum, what led to the hackers' strange behaviour is ____.A. their strong desire to control the computerB. their ignorance of the responsibility of a programmerC. their incompetence in making new computer programmersD. their deliberate attempts to make their programs complex and impracticable13. In Prof. Dertozos' opinion, which of the following is TRUE?A. Computer industry will certainly make multimillionaires of the hackers.B. The hackers are likely to be very successful business menC. The hackers probably have better insight into the future than other people.D. Only a few hackers will be successful in their later life.14. We can guess from context clues that the phrase "to develop an identity" (Para. 5) means ____.A. to become distinguishedB. to seek an answerC. to build up a creative abilityD. to form a habit15. The passage tries to convey to its readers the idea that ____.A. perhaps the hacker phenomenon is not bad at allB. though the hackers are in fact playing with the computer, there may be some benefitsC. the computer hackers are the hope of the computer industry of tomorrowD. the computer hackers could be useful if under proper guidanceQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:As one works with color in a practical or experimental way, one is impressed by two apparently unrelated facts. Color as seen is a mobile changeable thing depending to a large extent on the relationship of the color to other colors seen simultaneously. It is not fixed in its relation to the direct stimulus which creates it. On the other hand, the properties of surfaces that give rise to color do not seem to change greatly under a wide variety of illumination colors, usually looking much the same in artificial light as in daylight. Both of these effects seem to be due in large part to the mechanism of color adaptation mentioned earlier.When the eye is fixed on a colored area, there is an immediate readjustment of the sensitivity of the eye to color in and around the area viewed. This readjustment does not immediately affect the color seen but usually does affect the next area to which the gaze is shifted. The longer the time of viewing, the higher the intensity, and the larger the area, the greater the effect will be in terms of its persistence in the succeeding viewing situation. As indicated by the work of Wright and Schouten, it appears that, at least for a first approximation, full adaptation takes place over a very brief time if the adapting source is moderately bright and the eye has been in relative darkness just previously. As the stimulus is allowed to act, however, the effect becomes more persistent in the sense that it takes the eye longer to regain its sensitivity to lower intensities. The net result is that, if the eye is so exposed and then the gaze is transferred to an area of lower intensity, the loss of sensitivity produced by the first area will still be present and appear as an "afterimage" superimposed on the second. The effect not only is present over the actual area causing the "local adaptation" but also spreads with decreasing strength to adjoining areas of the eye to produce "lateral adaptation." Also, because of the persistence of the effect if the eye is shifted around from one object to another, all of which are at similar brightness or have similar colors, the adaptation will tend to become uniform over the whole eye.16. This selection is concerned primarily with ____.A. the adaptation of the eye to colorB. the color of colorsC. the properties of colored surfacesD. the effect of changes in color intensity17. Whether a colored object would, on two viewings separated in time, appear to the viewer as similar or different would depend mostly on ____.A. the color mechanism of the eye in use at the time of each viewingB. what kind of viewing had immediately preceded each of the viewingsC. the properties of the surfaces viewedD. the individual's power of lateral adaptation18. If a person's eye has been looking at an object in bright sunlight for some time, and then shifts to an object not well lit - such as a lawn or shrub in shadow - we can expect ____.A. a time lag in the focusing ability of the eyeB. some inability to see colors of the latter-named objects until loss of sensitivity has been regainedC. the immediate loss of the "afterimage" of the first objectD. adaptation in the central area of the eye but little adaptation in the lateral areas to the new intensity level19. The present selection has apparently been preceded by some explanation of ____.A. some experiments with color pigmentsB. the nature of colorC. the color properties of various surfacesD. the mechanism of the eye's adaptation to color20. This selection tells us all the following EXCEPT that ____.A. color depends on what other colors are seenB. the adjustment of the eye to the color it sees affects the next color it seesC. since properties of surfaces that give rise to color do not change, the surfaces of objects always look just the same in artificial light as in daylightD. The adjustment of the eye is affected by three variables: size of areas, intensity of color and length of timePart II Vocabulary and Structure21.

If the person to be interviewed (the interviewee) is busy, cancel an appointment in [53] advance.2. Prepare your questions before the interview so that you make best use of your time. In preparing think about the topic about what the interviewer is [54] likely to know.3. Use your questions, but don't insist in sticking to [55] them or proceeding in the order you have listed. Often the interviewee will have important information that was never occurred to you, or one [56] question may suggest another very useful one.4. If you don't understand something the interviewee has said, say politely and askhim or [57] her to clarify it or to give an example.5. Take notes, if the interviewee goes too slowly [58] for you, ask him or her to stop for a moment, especially if the point is important. A tape recorder lets you avoid this problem. Therefore, [59] be sure the interviewee agrees to be taped.6. As soon as possible after the interview, read over your notes. They may need clarified while the [60] topic is still fresh in your mind.答案Part I Reading Comprehension01.A 02.B 03.D 04.B 05.C 06.B 07.A 08.A 09.A 10.D11.C 12.A 13.C 14.B 15.A 16.A 17.B 18.B 19.D 20.CPart II V ocabulary and Structure21.A 22.B 23.D 24.C 25.C 26.D 27.C 28.A 29.D 30.B31.A 32.D 33.C 34.B 35.A 36.A 37.B 38.C 39.A 40.C41.D 42.B 43.C 44.D 45.B 46.B 47.B 48.C 49.C 50.CPart III Error Correction51. experts in... on52. make (-) most... the53. cancel an... make54. the interviewer is... interviewee55. insist in sticking... on56. that was never... /57. say (-) politely... so58. too slowly... fast59.

(404)篇二：2016年12月英语六级(CET6)真题及答案(完整版))2016年12月CET6大学英语六级真题及答案解析【官方完整版】Part I 写作Writing(30 minutes)Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourageinnovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the ing challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation.

The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA)，Russia made American bus inessman Dennis Tito the world’s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.Lance Bass of ‘N Sync wa s supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.Space AccommodationsRussia’s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001，the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001, Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia’s cosmonaut(宇航员) training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC’s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure (根底结构)〞that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.〞Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth’s.According to their vision statement. Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousand of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...〞Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won’t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?The Most Expensive VacationWill space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload (有效载重) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth’s orbit.NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the VentureStar, that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. If the VentureStar takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.In 1998, a joint report from NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year. While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn’t that great—when do I get to go?〞Well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angles.注意：此局部试题请在答题卡1上作答。
