18．Space tourism could he the dream of almost every human being on the planet，but it is only there for a few extremely rich people who can afford the cost．One of the possibilities that impressed me most is the one offered by a company called Space Adventures．
What they have in place is a space tourism program that allows you to travel to the International Space Station （ISS）．The preparation for the trip starts some months before it really departs．There is a training period which mainly deals with zero gravity operations，flight control and survival （生存）activities．
The trip can be planned exactly to meet your needs，either as a scientific researcher，or simply as an adventure traveler．Probably you will not find any other kind of trip where all details are planned so carefully for your enjoyment．
One of the great things，even if it would be a bit more expensive，is to include a space walk within your trip，and thatsurely would be a good opportunity to dance outside with your loved one to a slow waltz．Sorry，I forgot there's no sound in space!
Whatever you choose，you may have no problems apart from the cost，as the requirements seem to be less than the ones needed for getting a visa（簽證）．
Finally，the question you have had in mind gets answered．You say space tourism is expensive．For a normal booked flight to the ISS，you will be paying between $30 and 40 million．But hey!A Russian language course is included!
68．From this passage，we mainly learnB．
A．a(chǎn)bout the cost of traveling in space
B．a(chǎn)bout a space tourism program    
C．a(chǎn)bout a new kind of traveling
D．that everyone will soon be able to travel in space
69．That passage does NOT mention whether space tourists will learnD．
A．how to control a flight            
B．how to get used to zero gravity
C．how to survive in space            
D．how to take pictures in space
70．The passage suggests thatA．
A．Space Adventure plans carefully for tourists 
B．a(chǎn) visa is a must if you want to travel in space
C．people can't communicate in space     
D．a(chǎn)t present only a few people are interested in traveling in space
71．What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph 4 refer to？C
A．Dancing in space
B．A slow waltz．
C．A walk in space             
D．Asking for a space walk．

16．"It is obvious that China will climb up university rankings in the years to come．"This statement from Phil Baty，editor of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings，lines up with China's optimism that it will produce world-class universities．But there are still difficulties to overcome，experts say．
Universities from China's mainland slipped in the 2011-2012Times'global rankings．Peking University dropped 12places from last year to 49th，and Tsinghua University fell to 71st place．Among Asian universities，Peking is ranked No.4and Tsinghua No.8．

China has the largest and one of the fastest growing higher education systems in the world-2，723schools for 31million students．Enrollment （入學人數(shù)） has increased more than four times from 2001to 2011．

6．The problem with much mobile technology is that it's not really designed to be used while you're actually mobile．The human brain can only pay attention to about three things at a time-and concentrate effectively on just one of them．Even though the consequences of smartphone distraction（注意力分散）are sometimes （25）amusing（amuse），they can also be serious．
The number of children （26）admitted（admit） to hospitals after accidents in public playgrounds （27）has climbed（climb） by about a third in five years，according to NHS data．Experts in both Britain and the US，（28）wherea similar rise has occurred suggest some of the increase may be a result of parents being too distracted by their phones （29）to take（take） care of their children properly．
And now comes evidence showing that 11-year-old children are three times more likely to be hurt or seriously injured on the way to and from school than 10-year-olds，since 11 is the average age at which children receive their first mobile phone，six times more likely （30）to be sending（send） a text when it happens．
（31）Aquarter of children surveyed admitted that they had been distracted by personal technology while crossing the road．"There is，"the report concluded，"a clear connection （32）betweenthe use of technology and the time of serious accidents with children．"

8．These days，we write emails，text messages，and lists．Everyone is a writer，including you．But how do you make yourself different from others？How do you stand out from the crowd？
There's more to becoming a better writer than improving your writing，although that's certainly part of it．Here are a few useful ways：
1．Make the commitment （投入）：sometimes the difference between a working writer and would-be writer is as simple as making a commitment to writing and then stick with it．
2．Do the work：write as often as you can，every day if possible．Spend more time writing than talking about writing or thinking about writing．
3．Engage with other writers：they will keep your fire burning，and they can help you with your writing．Find a writing club or a group of writers．
4．Read：the single best way to improve your writing，develop ideas，and stretch your imagination is to read．
5．Build a platform：thanks to the Internet，it is cheaper and easier to build a platform today than it ever was before．Learn how to market yourself，find your readers，connect with them，and sell your books!
6．Be yourself：don't write what's hot，write what's in your heart．
Do you take steps every day to become a better writer？What steps have you taken to develop your craft and grow as a writer？Do you have any tips to add to this list？Share your thoughts by leaving a comment，and keep writing!
32．What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean？D
A．You like the writers．
B．Everyone should write emails every day．
C．It is easy for us to be famous writers．
D．We often write emails or something else．
33．If you want to improve your writing，you are advised toC．
A．think more before you write
B．write what's hot
C．Read and write as often as you can           
D．talk more before you write

A．To ask for readers'advice．
B．To tell people what we should write about．

D．To encourage readers．

C．we should make friends with some famous writers
