三、从下 列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。(每选项2分，共30
分)
Passage One
Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In reading the world's great literature on human excellence and personal success, I've found
that to launch ourselves into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue
our vision with stubborn (顽强的) consistency. The biggest difference between people who
succeed and those who don't is not usually talent but persistence.
On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker.
He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing
football there. Friends told him he wasn't a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his
dream and went to work in a power plant.
Then a friend was killed in an accident at work. Shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is
too short not to pursue your dreams.
In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind. He
got good enough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a
member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team prepare for games.
Rudy was living his dream, almost. But he wasn't allowed to suit up for the games
themselves. The next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his
uniform for the season's final game. And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game.
A student started shouting, “We want Rudy!” Soon others joined in. Finally, at the age of 27, with
27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and made the final tackle (阻截).
So his team won the game.
When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium (体育
场), where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story

illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there's a good chance that we're not alone in the
universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey
(HRMS). Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.
The search for intelligent life on other planets isn't new. It began almost 100 years ago. That's
when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart
beings on other planets might pick up the signals.
Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby
constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message
wouldn't reach Earth for 50,000 years! So don't wait up for an answer.
So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的) beings that we know of have returned our “calls.” But

according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven't exactly had our ears wide open. “Now,
however,” says Dr. Tarter, “we've built the tools we need to listen well.”
Last October, Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. It's an enormous
metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, another NASA
scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California's Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big
dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world.
Dr. Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS
project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in
loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million
channels every second. That's what NASA's radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are
doing.
But that's not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully.
The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as
human-made signals. If they can't, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio
technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr. Tarter. “And that would mean we're not alone.”

A. our ears are not sharp enough to hear them

D. it takes quite a long time to send them

28. Dr. Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.
A. the human ear

C. a metal bowl
D. a huge dish
