I said，“Smoking! It is nothing, and I wouldn’t worry about it. ” A month later a doctor said she had lung cancer(肺癌）.How can a 33-year-old woman have lung cancer?‎ ‎ She right away made an appointment with a well-known lung cancer specialist. I remember driving her to the appointment in downtown Chicago. We both still thought this must be a big mistake. Even if she did have lung cancer, we believed she had caught it at an early stage. The opinion that the cancer specialist told her was that her cancer was at stage 3A. At least she had some sort of chance to recover, but with stage 3B, it is pretty hopeless. In order to confirm the cancer stage，we drove to a hospital for further medical examination. Upon arriving at the hospital，we even parked at 3A at the parking lot by chance and we knew for sure it was a good sign.‎ ‎ Then came the news...Stage 4. The final stage of lung cancer. It remained 3 to 6 months for her. Upon hearing this, her immediate reaction was “What about my kids without me!” She asked, “ If I quit smoking, will I get better?” The answer was that it might give her a few extra days. People say it’s never too late to quit smoking. Well, it was too late. Her weight went from 86 kg to under 50 kg. Soon she passed away, leaving 3 beautiful children.‎ ‎ After seeing someone before your eyes go from an active person to being dead，you may think I would immediately quit smoking. However, I had much trouble really giving ‎ it up until 2 years later.‎ ‎1.

Although there isn’t any real scientific evidence to support a direct connection, there are a few positive effects of playing classical music at home for a baby. Most babies tend to fall asleep faster when listening to classical music. And sleep is beneficial for child brain development. In addition, if the other members enjoy the music，the baby’s environment will probably be happier and more peaceful.‎ ‎ Classical music not only affects brain development but also makes a difference to both pop music and modern music. Classical music directly influences pop culture. For example, Ode to Jo)(欢乐颂），made by Beethoven，has become a common piece of ‎ music on television and in movies. Classical music also has had an influence on modern music. Many bands and artists display a clear classical music influence in their work, from hip hop artists to rockers，and more artists. Many of the rules of music theory, developed in the Baroque period(巴洛克时期） by composers like Bach, are still in use today.‎ ‎ Fans of classical music often talk about the abilities of classical music to emotional influence on the listener. Many people feel happier and more peaceful after listening to only a few minutes of classical music. Of course，this might depend on the composer and the listener； most people will find Beethoven or Handel more calming than Wagner or Stravinsky.‎ ‎4.

He said we had about 600 years before the earth turned into a fireball and if we didn’t leave the earth soon, overpopulation would increase energy consumption and it would kill us all.‎ ‎ But Hawking had a plan. Speaking at the Tencent WE Summit in Beijing，Hawking called on investors(投资人）to support his plan to travel to Alpha Centauri(半人马座 a 星）.At around 4 light-year away, it’s the closest star system to the ‎ sun. The adventure would use a tiny spacecraft that travels at the speed of light. Such a system could reach Mars in less than an hour，or reach Pluto(冥王星）in days and reach Alpha Centauri in just over 20 years.‎ ‎ “Maybe if all goes well, sometime a little after the middle of the century, we’ll have our first picture of another planet that may be the nearest from our earth and suitable for human- beings to survive on，” Pete Worden, the former head at NASA’s AMES Research Center and Starshot Breakthrough director, said at the summit.‎ ‎ Professor Stephen Hawking warned “I don’t think we will survive another 1，000 years without escaping our weak planet. We face a lot of intimidation： nuclear war, global warming and genetically engineered viruses，” said Prof Hawking, speaking to the Radio Times. “Although the chance of a disaster on the earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time, becoming a near certainty in the next thousand or ten thousand years. By that time we should have spread out into space, and to other stars, so it would not mean the epd of the human race. ”‎ ‎ “However，we will not establish our base in space for at least the next hundred years，so we have to be very careful in this period. ’’ Stephen Hawking also said.‎ ‎7. What will the earth be like in about 600 years according to Hawking?‎ A. Pluto. B. The moon.‎ C.Alpha Centauri. D. A fireball.‎ ‎8. What can we learn from paragraph 2?‎ A.Hawking needed help to finish his plan.‎ B. Viruses will be wiped out in 1,000 years. ‎ C. The adventure would use a huge spacecraft. ‎ D. Pete Worden will invest and support Hawking’s plans. ‎ ‎9. Which of the following can replace “intimidation” underlined in paragraph 4? ‎ A. Opportunities. B. Construction. ‎ C. Threats. D. Possibilities. ‎ ‎10. What is the suitable title for the text? ‎ A. A Comfortable Planet for Human Being ‎ B. Hawking’s Warning for the Earth ‎ C. Travel to Other Planets ‎ D. Hawking’s Newest Research ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Six Tips for Happy and Productive Work at Home ‎ Working at home can free us from the noise and avoid taking our attention away from offices.
