The Great Wall of China can ,indeed, be seen from outer space with the naked(赤裸的) eye.

So education officials, who felt worried about changing textbooks-which have long held that the Great Wall and the dykes(堤堰)in the Netherlands were the only man-made structures visible from space-can breathe easy.

Yang Liwei, the nation’s first spaceman, disappointed a lot of Chinese when he said he did not see the wall during his orbit of less than 24 hours in October 2003, giving rise to calls for revisions(修改) in textbooks.

But there is a rider: There are many, many structures which can also be seen, such as the Pyramids of Egypt, airports, highways and even Beijing’s Third Ring Road.

Undoubtedly, it requires an atmospheric “ perfect storm” in outer space, defined as an altitude of about 350 km and you have to be in the right place at the right time, under the right conditions to spot a particular structure. Chinese-American spaceman Leroy Chiao, who has been on three space flights and is currently coming to the end of his six-month stint(期限) on the joint US-Russian space station, has provided the first photographic evidence of sections of the Great Wall using commercially available equipment.

According to Chiao, the chances of shooting the Great Wall area are “maybe once every few days and only during daylight every three months. ” Since late March, Chiao has had just one opportunity to fly over the Great Wall, but the weather was dangerous. He has one last chance before he is scheduled to land in Kazakhstan on April 25-and he will be keeping a sharp lookout.

49. How does the writer feel about high-tech tool?

C. Every coin has two sides. 　　　　　　　　　　 D. Learn to walk before you run.

48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer likes high-tech cooking.

B. Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals.

C. High-tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.

D. Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework.

47. Which of the following shows that paper bags are better than plastic ones?

D

High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here’s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast the bread. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make for better-tasting meals.

Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.

Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For examples, most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word-process(文字处理) a homework assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.

46. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Plastic takes longer to break down than paper.

B. Sea turtles usually mistake the plastic bags for jellyfish.

C. Paper bags require less energy than plastic bags.

D. You’d better pack things in reusable cloth bags.
