题干

阅读下面的四篇短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

    For centuries, the body's blood has been connected closely with the feelings. People who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded.

Cold can affect other parts of the body. But the expression ―get cold feet has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be CEO of a company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned (辞职), and all the work of the company will be your responsibility (责任). You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation.

    The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise (遵守诺言) he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.

    “A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation.

    “Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise—he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

阅读庞之浩的《激光是太空垃圾的“清道夫”》一文,完成后面小题。
       ①据最新报道,澳大利亚目前正在研发一种用激光处理太空垃圾的新方法,即从地球上发射激光来分解绕着地球转的太空垃圾,以减少其可能引发系列撞击事件。
       ②自1957年人类发射第一颗人造卫星至今,各国已发射了5000多颗卫星、火箭、探测器等航天器,同时形成了3000多吨围绕地球飞行的太空垃圾。而且,这一数量每年还在以2%—5%的速度增加。太空垃圾在太空中以每秒6000至7000米的速度运行,相对速度很高,潜在危害极大。一个仅10克重的太空垃圾所产生的撞击能量,相当于时速100千米行驶的两辆轿车迎面相撞产生的能量。目前,在各国正在探索的清理方式中,激光算得上是最可行的方式之一。
       ③用激光清除太空垃圾主要有两种方式:直接烧蚀式和烧蚀反喷式。前者可用于清除微小太空垃圾,即利用强大的连续波激光照射太空垃圾,把光能转化为热能,使其温度升高至垃圾碎片的熔点甚至沸点,使其被熔化和汽化,实现碎片清理;烧蚀反喷式主要用于清除较大的太空垃圾,它是用高能脉冲激光束照射太空垃圾表面,产生类似于火箭推进的“热物质射流”,为太空垃圾提供一定的速度增量,从而使其近地点高度降低以致进入大气层摩擦烧毁,以达到清除空间轨道碎片的目的。
       ④激光清除太空垃圾可采用不同的平台,主要有地基、空基和天基激光器等。天基激光器一般被部署在卫星上,由于激光在真空中传播时的损耗可忽略不计,没有折射、散射等传播误差影响,其实用空间范围得到了扩展。天基激光是未来清除太空垃圾的一种高效方案,但也有科学家认为,这种激光可能演变成一种“空间武器”。
       ⑤对付太空垃圾是一项多学科的综合性长期工作,需要各国的重视,需要广泛的国际合作。只有群策群力,人类才能拥有清洁、安全的太空环境。
