have become commonplace. Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, or that radio-telescopes should “listen into” the skies for possible signals from other worlds, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems feasible.
From dream like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us: we must content with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits. For “adventure” need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself; and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that overlooks his own, or even he who tries to climb and fails, has precisely the same spirit taht led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to rediscover places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and trackless shores. 74. What does the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refer to? A. The highest mountains B. The deepest seas. C. Maps D. Land-masses.
75. What can man do now since there was no “Unknown Territory” on earth. A. Fill the gaps in the details with expeditions. B. Explore space.
C. Look upwards into space.
D. Determine the true shape of the globe. 76. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. The space-crafts that the writers of science fiction have invented are exactly the same size as our modern ones.
B. Years ago, a scientist who had expected to receive an answer from the satellites we sent into outer space would be regarded as an mad person.
C. Men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who did the same thing.
D. It’s quite common to find satellites sending signals to the earth as they swing around. 77. According to the writer, how can man cultivate “adventurous spirits”?
A. By making trips to outer space. B. By inventing bigger and better spacecraft. C. By seeking out something new. D. By finding something out for himself.
Section C
Direction：Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve,and the foreigner who learns a new language--all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have , their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try,
new challenges to accept．
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may \essential for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more changes and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face or overcome these internal fears and doubt,if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．
78.Based on the two basic ways to view growth mentioned in the passage,“Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.”can be regarded as______________________________.
79.The process of growth refers to___________________________________,when people come across new experiences and obstacles.
80.If someone is keen on learning anything new,he is likely to____________________________.
81.________________________________________or too much self-protection may prevent us growing. (Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)
