Have you ever witnessed the astonishing beauty of auroras ()They are a gift from the
heavens resulting from the interaction between the atmosphere and cosmic radiation
However,as the saying goes:One man's meat is another man's poison.In South Korea,a
flight attendant,53,died from cancer due to prolonged exposure to intense cosmic radiation.
determined a South Korean labor court.
According to South Korean authorities,the flight attendant logged an average of 1,022 annual
flying hours throughout his career,with half of his flights spent crossing the regions in and around
the North Pole,where cosmic radiation reaches extraordinarily high levels.
Cosmic radiation,which comes from the sun and other stars in the galaxy,is constantly hitting
Earth.According to the International Atomic Energy Agency,cosmic radiation can be divided into
two types:solar radiation and galactic cosmic radiation.Solar radiation comprises charged particles
emitted by the sun,known as the solar wind,while galactic cosmic radiation comes from the
remnants(残余部分)of supernovas(超新星)一powerful explosions created during the last life
stages of massive stars.
Despite the continuous and powerful nature of cosmic radiation,we are generally shielded
from their worst effects.Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere provide protection from this
radiation,with the magnetic field being strongest in tropical areas and weakest at the poles.
Consequently,individuals living in higher latitudes,like Heilongjiang province,experience slightly
more cosmic radiation than those in lower latitudes,such as Hainan province.Moreover,at higher
altitudes,such as when passengers are flying on an airplane,the thinner atmosphere results in more
intense exposure to cosmic radiation.
For astronauts and flight attendants on polar routes,lacking the shielding offered by Earth's
magnetic field and atmosphere exposes them to potential health risks.According to NASA,
astronauts who spend six months in space encounter a radiation exposure roughly equivalent to
undergoing 1,000 chest X-rays.
However,what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds therapeutic (potential.

The high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors )
Scientists can now artificially produce charged particles similar to cosmic radiation.Compared to
conventional radiotherapy(),charged particles can target tumors more effectively with less
harm to the surrounding healthy tissues,according to the journal Frontiers in Oncology.
61.What does the article tell us about cosmic radiation?
A.It primarily comes from the remnants of supernovas.
B.It generates harmful substances in the atmosphere.
C.It's linked to an increased risk of cancer.
D.It oonsists entirely of charged particles.
63.Who would be exposed to the least cosmic radiation?
A.Individuals living at higher altitudes.
B.People traveling across the equator.
C.Those living near the equator.
D.Workers stationed at the poles.
63.What does the underlined word"shielded"in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A.Exposed to dangers.
B.Protected from potential harm.
C.Separated from the environment.D.Influenced by external factors.
64.Which of the following statements about cosmic radiation is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Cosmic radiation consists only of protons and electrons.
B.Astronauts are not required to wear protective suits for protection.
C.Cosmic radiation poses no risks to humans or other living organisms.
D.Certain cosmic radiation particles can be used to precisely destroy cancer cells
65.What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?
A.Cosmic radiation is only a danger and should be avoided at all costs.
B.Seientists are only exploring the harmful effects of cosmic radiation.
C.The medical applications of cosmic radiation are still in their early stages.
D.Cosmic radiation particles are used as a primary treatment for all types of cancer.

From now on,never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and
shortcomings.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were
born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever
created:the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You were born a winner.You were
born rich.You can be successful if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem.Your level of self-esteem
is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over
your life.People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power or
responsibility for their lives.They are the perennial victims and martyrs.They are leaves tossed by

天津市实验中学滨海学校TIANJIN EXPERIMENTAL BINHAI HIGH SCHOOL
the winds of chance blown ahout with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are
responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by
accident and chance.Successful people tcalize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,we can control the
effect.We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level
that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon
our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success.On
the contrary,the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing the seeds
that contain future victory,born from setbacks.
In short,in all areas of your life,whether they be financial,physical,emotional,or spiritual,
you are responsible.Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it,you are on the road to
success.
66.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they
A.can't exercise control over themselves
B.don't have the power to live like the wind
C.are easily affected by windy weather
D.are ready to change their minds
67.What is the common thought of failures according to the passage?
A.Success is the result of hard work.
B.They are responsible people.
C.The failure is only because of bad luck.
D.Making efforts leads to a good future.
68.According to Paragraph 5.what can we do if we identify the cause of something?
A.We can avoid taking any responsibility for it.
B.We can determine the consequences that follow.
C.We can go back and change what has happened.
D.We can accurately predict every future event..
69.The function of the last paragraph is
A.to prove the author's points
B.to conclude the argument

D.to give a comparison between two views

My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped
that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter,some of his words have lived in my heart.One
part always stands out."Right now,you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one day,
you will do something great that will set you among the very best."
Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself."You will do
something great."He didn't know what that would be,and neither did I,but at times in my life
when I've felt proud of myself,I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask,"Is this
what you were talking about,Dad?Should I keep going?"
A long way from 12 now,I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress.
Lately,though,I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next:to be
proud of and believe in somebody else.It's time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our
children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don't give up because
they're afraid to fail.They're only afraid of failing us.They don't worry about being disappointed.
Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment.
Sive your children permission to succeed.They're waiting for you to believe in them.I
always knew my parents loved me.But trust me:That belief will be more complete,that love will
be more real,and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts:
"Don't worry;you'll do something great."Not having that blessing from their parents may be the
only thing holding them back.
71.Why did the father write a letter to the author?(no more than 15 words)
72.What did the father mainly want the author to learn from his letter?(no more than 10 words)
73.What does the underlined word"failing"in Paragraph 4 mean?(no more than 2 words)
74.According to the passage,how did the author overcome her fear?(no more than 10 words)
75.If your parents were to write you a letter,what would you expect to read?Give your reasons.
(no more than 25 words)
