    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
    This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
    Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
    Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
    Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
    “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
    At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
    小题1:This year ________teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
    A．twenty-three hundred
    B．thirteen hundred
    C．over three thousand
    D．less than two thousand
    小题2:The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.
    A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America
    B．send students in America to travel in Germany
    C．let students learn something about other countries
    D．have teenagers learn new languages
    小题3:Fred and Mike agree that__________.
    A．America food tasted better than German food
    B．German schools were harder than American schools
    C．Americans and Germans were both friendly
    D．There were more cars on the streets in America
    小题4:What is particular in American schools is that________.
    A．there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
    B．there are a lot of after-school activities
    C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all
    D．students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

    Houston, Texas (June 8. 2002)–in 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will send two robots to separate places of Mars to seek out past or present signs of water. It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill.
    Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes well, the two spacecraft will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and –a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004.
    The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills. Although they will be under control from the earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.
    The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.
    49.According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _____.
    A.find out whether there is water on Mars   B.see if robots can find minerals there  
    C.test how fast robots can drive there                 D.prove that robots can work on Mars
    50.How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?

    A.study the soil                                     B. walk everywhere
    C.test the new camera                                D. find a suitable landing point
    52. We can infer from the last sentence that scientists ________.
