The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future explorations in space. The distance between the moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is of miles away ! Traveling to the planets or travels between planets will be man’ s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more exciting. Recently, two American unmanned spacecraft, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars in an attempt to discover whether that planet had any life on it. So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely, dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists believe that in the future, space stations can be built in space. These stations can act as stop-over points in space. Spacecraft can refuel at these stations and get their supply of air, food and water. Spaceships of the future will be bigger and faster. They will be able to carry passengers for trips to the moon or planets. Man may in the future find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, and make them his home. However such a possibility is still in the distant future. At the same time, Man should realize that the Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to value and care for it. Which of the following statements is true？ A．Recently, two American astronauts have landed on Mars. B．The surface of Mars is very hot. C．The journey to the moon started the future exploration in space. D．There is life in Venus.

When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck. How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round. People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, hard work and luck are always hand in hand. (30) A．Hard work is the most important thing for one's success. B．Hard work may invite good luck. C．Good luck plays an important role in one's success. D．Success has nothing to do with luck.

The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003．At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $ 65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of art Economics, a research firm-double the figure five year earlier. Since then it may have come down to $ 50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst's sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008．Within weeks the world's two biggest auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, had to pay out nearly $ 200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionist at the end of 1989．This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie's chief executive, says: "I'm pretty confident we're at the bottom. " What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds--death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return. In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst's sale was referred to as "a last victory" because______. A．the art marker had witnessed a succession of victories B．the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids C．Beautiful inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces D．it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis

A．to influenced B．being influenced C．to be influenced D．influencing
