21、London (CNN) There is no God -- that's the conclusion of the well-known physicist Stephen Hawking, whose final book is published on Tuesday. The book Brief Answers to the Big Questions, which was completed by his family after his death, presents answers to the questions that Hawking said he received most during his time on Earth.
Other bombshells(爆炸性事件)the British scientist left his readers with include the belief that alien life is out there, artificial intelligence could outsmart humans and time travel can't be impossible.
"There is no God. No one directs the universe," he writes in the book." For centuries, it was believed that disabled people like me were living under a curse by God," he adds. "I prefer to think that everything can be explained another way, by the laws of nature."
While Hawking spoke of his lack of belief in God during his life, several of his other answers are more surprising. "There are forms of intelligent life out there," he writes. "We need to be cautious about answering back until we have developed a bit further."
"Travel back in time can't be ruled out according to our present understanding," he says. He also predicts that "within the next hundred years we will be able to travel to anywhere in the Solar System."
In remarks prepared by Hawking and played at the launch of the book in London on Monday, the scientist also turned his attention to the world he was leaving behind. His greatest concern, his daughter said, "is how divided we've become," adding ,"He makes this comment about how we seem to have lost the ability to look outward, and we are increasingly looking inward to ourselves."
Hawking's final message to readers, though, is a hopeful one. Attempting to answer the question "How do we shape the future?", the scientist writes, "Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet."
【1】Which question is NOT probably included in the book Brief Answers to the Big Questions,?
A. Is there alien life? B. Does anyone direct the universe?
C. Is time travel possible? D. Does the solar system exist?
【2】Hawking mentioned his disability in his book to________.
A. show his confidence. B. support his disbelief in God.
C. tell readers about his hardship. D. complain of God
【3】What was Hawking most concerned about?
A. Artificial intelligence will outsmart humans.
B. Human beings are not united.
C. Technology will destroy the world.
D. Allen life will come to the earth some day.
【4】What did Hawking suggest human beings do?
A. Contact alien life. B. Respect artificial intelligence.
C. Develop the earth. D. Explore the universe.

23、 California is dry. The sunny state is reeling from a four-year drought-a severe and unusual lack of rainfall. The effects of the drought can be seen most clearly in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Much of the state's water supply comes from the deep snow that falls in these mountains. That snow melts in the spring and fills the state's rivers, lakes, and underground bodies of water. 【1】
As a result, experts are now warning that California currently has only a one-year supply of usable water. Today we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow. 【2】
That means people will have to limit their water use at home. They can do this by not watering lawns and reducing water they use for cleaning and cooking. 【3】
Places like golf courses and cemeteries currently use a lot of water to keep lawns green. They'll need to find solutions for this problem that require less water.
California's water crisis has been mainly caused by a lack of rain and snowfall over the past few years. 【4】Today, California is home to nearly 40 million people. This is double the number who lived there in 1960.
California simply has too many people for its natural resources. 【5】 Many have moved to the state because of its natural beauty and pleasant weather. And several major businesses are based in California, including Hollywood movie companies such as Warner Bros. and technology giants like Apple.
The drought is not likely to ruin California's businesses, but the state will have to rethink how it grows and does things.
A. But the snow hasn't been falling
B. Nature has prepared so much for people.
C. This serious drought needs immediate action.
D. Mother Nature didn't intend for so many people.
E. But another big problem is its growing population.
F. Some public places will need to make big changes.
G. There are many problems for this terrible drought.
