AChina’s moon rover Yutu is awake but experts are still trying to find out the cause of its abnormality.The moon rover,named after the pet of a lunar goddess in ancient Chinese mythology,has now been restored to its normal signal reception function.But experts are still working to verify the cause of its mechanical control abnormality.Yutu went to sleep under an abnormal status.Experts had been concerned that it might not be able to survive the extremely low temperatures during the lunar night.The news caused many comments on China’s social networking circles.On Sina Weibo,China’s Twitter,user “Yutu Lunar Rover”,which has followed the developments of the mission in a first-person account,posted its first update since the abnormality.“Hi,anybody there?” it asked in a post,which aroused some 60,000 reports and 40,000 comments within two hours.“We are all here,” one Weibo user replied.“Hold on there,the whole country’s got your back,” another wrote.Some joked about the rover being a “foodie” waking up for rice dumplings,a must-have food for China’s Lantern Festival that falls on Friday.“Which would you prefer?Chocolates or rice dumplings?” asked one user named “shengkongtangjiang”.This year’s Lantern Festival falls on the same day as Valentine’s Day.Fans overseas posted messages on Twitter.“Makes me want to dance,” one user wrote minutes after the official @ XHNews account posted the news that Yutu had woken up.“PRC engineers & scientists should be proud of their excellent work,& congratulations to them from all of humankind,” another user named “jeffsonstein” said.Yutu touched on the moon’s surface on Dec.15,several hours after China’s lunar probe(探测器)Chang’e-3 soft-landed on the moon on Dec.14.Chang’e-3 is part of China’s lunar program,which includes three phases(阶段),orbiting,landing and returning to the Earth.It follows the success of the Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 missions in 2007 and 2010.China is the third country in the world to successfully soft-land on the moon after the United States and the Soviet Union.1.According to the first three paragraphs,which of the following statements about Yutu is TRUE?A.It is named after a lunar goddess.B.The cause of its breaking down has been found out.C.It can receive signals normally now.D.It can’t bear low temperatures.答案C解析根据第二段中第一句“The moon rover,named after the pet of a lunar goddess in ancient Chinese mythology,has now been restored to its normal signal reception function.”可知答案为C 项。

AHere is some news of the future.March 20, 2035There was a lot of news around the life extension drugs that hit the market a decade ago. They didn't promise that you would live forever, but they gave you a chance to extend your life an extra five to ten years. Even though the life expectancy rate at birth has increased greatly, the life expectancy for seniors hasn't improved that much. Basically, you have a greater chance to become a senior, but you will not have a much longer lifespan, and this is where the anti-aging drugs intend to kick in. So, do the anti-aging drugs work? Well, it is too early to tell. But the sales so far are very good.April 19, 2035Of the total US population of 378 million, people over 65 years old now make up 20% for the first time. The senior ratio was only 4.1% in 1900, and 12.4% 30 years ago.The number of people above 65, compared to those of what is considered working ages, between 15 and 64, is currently 33.7%. This is up from 18.5% in the year 2005, which means that for every retired person there are now two workers, compared to four workers 30 years ago. Thenumber of people above the age of 80 has grown to 23.8 million, making them 6.3% of the total population compared to 3.6% in 2005.April 12, 2040Although introduced in the market only five years ago, 10% of all hydrogen fuel now sold in the US is of the environmentally friendly Re-Hydro label, produced through electrolysis (电解) based on a source of 100% renewable energy. Several producers have turned to producing Re-Hydro, mainly because of lower tax, which also keeps the price of Re-Hydro on the same level as regular hydrogen. Most analysts believe that Re-Hydro will be the dominating fuel in the future.语篇解读本文摘取了关于未来的三则新闻，涉及延长寿命的药物，美国的老龄化问题以及环保能源的使用。

But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's ability to learn or their performance in school. They, say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent. Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education. He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.“The evidence there is ‘no’. We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes，” said Mehr. Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. He says the results have been mixed. He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons. He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence. He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.The researchers confirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents. Mr. Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later in their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words, “We teach music because music is important for us.”1.According to the new study, musical training ________.A．makes children smarter B．helps a child express creativityC．does not make children more intelligent D．improve children's ability to learn in school 2．Samuel Mehr may agree that ________.A．the children who attended music class are smarter than those who attended arts classB．IQ is a good measure of a child's intelligenceC．we needn't to teach children musicD．music training is still important for cultural reasons3．In order to confirm his view, Samuel Mehr ________.A．conducted more than one researchB．interviewed many American adultsC．taught two groups of 4-year-olds music and artsD．offered children a fast way to be admitted to the best schools4．The article may be taken from a report about________.A．health B．education C．culture D．economy三、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It started when a new family moved into our neighborhood. Before being bullied, I was liked and had many friends. Looking back on it now, I honestly cannot even point out why I was bullied by the newcomer. I was hit, kicked, called names, threatened, and was told I should kill myself. This was over 15 years ago. In those days, there were no support groups or hotlines one could attend or call. My parents did the best to “work” with educator s at school. The educators also felt how serious my being harassed (骚扰) was.Unfortunately over the past 15 years, bullying has become more common and more serious. We read stories in the newspaper or hear on the news that children are taking their own lives because of bullying. I was almost one of those children at the age of 16. I, however, was lucky. I asked for help from my teachers. I personally understand the feeling of hopelessness these children face, and my heart breaks for them and for their parents. No one deserves to feel worthless, lonely, or physically threatened.Did you know that October is National Bullying Prevention Month? According to the National Bullying Prevention Center website, more than 160,000 students stay home from school every day because they are scared of being bullied. It is also reported that bullying affects how well a child can learn. These students have a hard time concentrating, their grades slip, and they lose the sense of self-worth and self-confidence. Sometimes the ch ildren’s pain isn’t known.We need to appeal and help schools and societies to take actions to prevent bullying. Join me and countless others who are trying to put an end to bullying. Visit the National Bullying Prevention Center website to learn information about bully prevention. Sign the Digital Petition (请愿书) to end bullying. I did!41.

The response is explosive.“Is that real?” his father asks. “Is that real?” he repeats, screaming. “My God,” he then yells, immediately bursting into tears and bear-hugging his son.The man then weeps uncontrollably for a few moments. “Are you sure?” he exclaims. “Yes,” the bo y replies. More hugging and weeping then follows as the father closely examines the report card.“It’s so heartwarming. Any parent can totally understand how he’s feeling,” said Amy McCready, a TODAY Moms contributor (投稿人) and the author of the parenting guide If I Have to Tell You One More Time.“That was just coming from the heart. He couldn’t control that if he tried… all parents want their kids to succeed and do their best.”The key step for the dad now is to reinforce and encourage whatever efforts his son took to create that improvement in academic performance: the hard work, the persistence, the extra study time, or perhaps meeting with teachers to get extra help, McCready said.“Because you don’t want to send the message that it’s just about the grade,” she added.Lots of encouragement is the key, McCready advised. Encourage your child to put in the study time and get extra help if needed. But also make sure your kids are responsible and own their own success, she noted.“If parents are constantly on the kid’s back and it turns into a big power struggle about the grades, then the child is not going to feel encouraged,” McCready said.46. This passage mainly wants to tell the readers ｡｡｡｡｡｡.A. that a child can’t succeed without a good fatherB. that a supportive father is widely praised onlineC. that a father wept with joy at his son’s passing gradeD. what teachers should do to help students succeed47. The student posted the video on the Internet mainly to ｡｡｡｡｡｡.A. tell the public he was really able to get a CB. spread a piece of special news for pleasureC. thank his father for his great encouragementD. show his gladness for his classmate’s su ccess48. The father wept over his son’s report card because ｡｡｡｡｡｡.A. his son had really succeeded in the examB. it was just the result that he had expectedC. he would no longer be looked down uponD. the news from online was too unexpected49. What does McCready mean by saying the underlined words?A. Parents always hope to get a clever child.B. Children can’t only be satisfied with aC.C. Parents fear their children won’t get a C.D. Students can’t succeed without others’ help.50. Which of the following is McCready’s point of view?A. Parents must encourage their children all the time.B. Children can’t succeed if parents don’t encourage.C. Parents should be responsible for children’s failure.D. Children must be a self-conscious learner to succeed.CThe Han Dynasty TombLocated in Dingtao County of Shandong Province, the Han Dynasty Tomb is the largest timber-chambered tomb(木椁墓) in Shandong. The tomb looks like the Chinese character “Jia”. The complicated design and delicate buildings show that it belongs to one of the princes in the Western Han dynasty. Unfortunately, more than 30 holes dug by robbers have been found in the tomb, and it has lost many of its more valuable relics. Archaeologists have unearthed porcelain, copper, bronze and iron swords. Archaeologists think it may belong to Liu Kang, Prince Gong of the Western Han dynasty.The Shimao RuinsLocated in Shenmu County of Shaanxi Province, the Shimao Ruins date from the late Longshan Period to the Xia dynasty. The site is a huge stone city covering more than four square kilometers. The Shimao Ruins consist of three parts, including an imperial town, inner and outer cities. The size of the ruins is much larger than similar ruins such as the Liangzhu Ruins and the Taosi Ruins. Many precious relics have been unearthed, including a large number of carved jade and mural (壁画) fragments.The Liujiazhai Neolithic SiteLocated in Jinchuan County of Sichuan Province, the Liujiazhai Neolithic Site can be traced back to the late Neolithic Age. Covering an area of 3,500 square meters, the site hosts a large amount of pottery, animal bones and stone products. The site offers new materials for research on cultural exchanges and communication of the Hengduan Mountain region.The Hailongtun Fortress SiteLocated on Longyan Mountain, about 30 km north of the old city of Zunyi in Guizhou Province, the Hailongtun Fortress Site is the best well-preserved medieval castle ruins in China. Established in 1257 and destroyed by the war in 1600, it covers an area of 2 square kilometers. It is surrounded by cliffs on all four sides with only one entrance from the mountain road. It is the site to show the development of the Tusi System and the unique architecture features.51. What do we know about the Han Dynasty Tomb?A. All of its valuable relics have been stolen.B.

It was once the most booming castle in China.55. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Exploring ancient architecture features.B. Introduction to some archaeological finds.C. An advertisement for some beautiful relic sites.D. The importance of protecting the ancient relics.DIt’s no secret that dolphins are smart animals. But as we learn more about them, we’re finding out more and more about how smart they really are—how much they’re like us.Researchers at the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland revealed that dolphins clearly have names—not names like “Flipper” given to them by humans, but names they give to thems elves! And not only that—they respond when they hear other dolphins calling them by their names.Scientists call those names “signature whistles”. According to a report by National Geographic News, when a bottlenose dolphin hears another bottlenose dolphin call its signature whistle, it responds by repeating that signature whistle back—kind of like saying, “Yep, I’m here. Did you call my name?” as dolphin expert Whitney Friedman put it.“This is the first time we find naming in the animal kingdom,” said Ste phanie King, the leader of the Saint Andrews study. King and her group reached that conclusion after spending several months studying wild dolphins off Scotland’s east coast. “It’s now clear that signature whistles have meaning in that they are labels (标签) for every dolphin,” she said.According to the Los Angeles Times, the experts do know that many male dolphin babies have signature whistles similar to the signature whistles of their mothers. So maybe similar names run in the same family—just like a guy n amed Joe might name his kid “Joe Junior”.There’s a lot still left to learn about dolphin communication. For example, King and the other experts are still trying to determine whether the noises dolphins make are actually a language. And it’s not clear yet whether dolphins use signature whistles to talk about other dolphins that aren’t around—sort of an aquatic version of gossip. But the scientists appear to be on the way to finding out.56.By saying “how much they’re like us”, the author wants to tell us that dolphins .A. are very cleverB. are attractive to usC. follow our exampleD. have many secrets57. According to Stephanie King, dolphins .A. like calling out signature whistlesB. have different names of their ownC. can respond to any special whistlesD. are getting along well with each other58.If the mother dolphin’s name is Mary, her baby dolphin’s name is probably .A. JoeB. Joe JuniorC. Mary SeniorD. Mary Junior 59. King and the other experts are trying to learn .A. how dolphins live in the seaB. why dolphins make much noiseC. when dolphins use signature whistlesD. if dolphins communicate in a language60. Where does this text probably come from?A. A news report.B. A geography magazine.C. A history paper.D. A science textbook.EAnousheh Ansari is an engineer, a founding member of several tech companies, and if that’s not impressive enough, she’s also an astronaut. She’s the first Iran ian to venture (冒险) into space, the first female private space explorer, and the fourth self-funded person to go into space.Going into space has been a childhood dream for Anousheh. When she was 16 she moved to the U.S. and studied engineering. Later, she started Telecom Technologies Inc., which provided network solutions for telecommunications companies. When she sold the company in 2000, she became involved with the X PRIZE foundation.Anousheh and her family helped sponsor (赞助) the Ansari X PRIZE of $10 million to encourage private companies to develop reusable spacecrafts that would fly to the edge of space. 26 teams from 11 countries signed up. The winning spacecraft was Spaceship One, which became the model that Virgin Galactic is based on.Following the success of the Ansari X PRIZE, she began research for the next competition. But this time, it would be an orbital flight X PRIZE. She signed up as a back-up astronaut with Space Adventures in Russia, an independent space exploration company to learn more about space flight. Three weeks before she was to go back home, one of the primary astronauts had an illness and couldn’t go. She was asked to fill in for him.At the International Space Station, Anousheh became the first astronaut to blog from space. Her blog received a lot of attention as she documented what it was like to live in space and do simple tasks like brushing her teeth and hair. Anousheh described this experience as one of the most magical moments of her life.As an Iranian woman, she hopes her story will inspire other women of the Middle East to give themselves freedom and not to let society, friends or family hold them back from doing what they want to do. There’s nothing they’re not supposed to do or cannot do.61. From the first paragraph, we can learn that Anousheh Ansari .A. is the fourth female astronaut to go into spaceB. is the first female private Iranian space explorerC. has opened several tech companies all by herselfD. is an Iranian engineer working on space exploration62. The underlined word “back-up” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to “”.A. spareB. excellentC. skillfulD. inexperienced63. What did Anousheh Ansari do at the International Space Station?A.

A botanical garden.C. An education center.D. An amusement park.BJust like any other home, the InternationalSpace Station (ISS) requires some housekeeping,in the form of routine work and repairs. That iswhy NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and fellowastronaut Kjell Lindgren performed a spacewalkoutside the station on Wednesday. The operationbegan at 8:03 a.m. and lasted for more than sevenhours. It was the first spacewalk for both men.The ISS has been in constant use for 15 years and needs to be upgraded (升级) from time to time. During their spacewalk, Kelly and Lindgren did basic electrical work, such as attaching new cables (电缆) that will provide power to docking ports on the station. The ports will be used when new crew and cargo ships arrive at the ISS in2017. The two astronauts also placed a thermal (防寒的) cover on a key scientific instrument on the station to protect it from the cold temperatures of space.As the more senior astronaut, Kelly led the spacewalk. However, Lindgren handled some of the more challenging parts of the job in some of the tighter areas of the station.“Lindgren has longer arms,” said NASA's Grant Slusser, who served as ground director for Wednesday's spacewalk.Kelly and Lindgren spent months training and practicing for the operation. The preparation began in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL), a 6.2-million-gallon swimming pool with a full-size replica (复制品) of most of the ISS located at the bottom. Here astronauts become accustomed to working in an environment similar to the one outside the space station.During the spacewalk, Kelly and Lindgren received updates from NASA that provided them with both major and minor details, right down to how many turns are needed to tighten a bolt (螺栓). Once the task was successfully completed, the astronauts reentered the ISS. But they will not remain inside the station for too long. Both men will perform a second spacewalk scheduled for November 6.24. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The goal of Wednesday's spacewalk.B. The duties of NASA astronauts in space.C. The role of the International Space Station.D. The flight schedules of spaceships in 2017.25. Why did Lindgren take on the more challenging parts of the job?A. He is several years senior to Kelly.B. He has a physical advantage over Kelly.C. He has more work experience than Kelly.D. He is braver and more confident than Kelly.26. The spacewalk Kelly and Lindgren performed _____.A. started at nightB. seemed a difficult taskC. was directed by the NBLD. was their second spacewalk27. What will Kelly and Lindgren do next?A. Go back to the earth.B. Welcome the new crew's arrival.C. Prepare for their next spacewalk.D. Get in touch with the ground control center.CBorn in 1898 to middle-class parents in Bavaria, Bertolt Brecht grew up in a comfortable environment. In elementary school, he met Caspar Nehar, who became a life-long friend and designed sets for many of Brecht's plays. As a student at Munich University during World War I, the dramatist studied theater and became interested in German cabaret performances (a form of entertainment with singing and dancing that was performed in restaurants or clubs).Brecht began writing works for the stage around this time, which won some words of praise. He also spent time studying the work of political theorist Karl Marx and socialism. He began to formhis theory of “epic theater.” This theater, different from the traditional aims of drama as described by Aristotle, was not meant to be an imitation of reality or a way to entertain people.Epic theater is meant to present an argument and invite the audience to make judgments on it. Traditional conventions, like not looking directly at the audience, are ignored. Brecht tried to prevent audiences from sympathizing with his characters, and wanted them to care about the issues being discussed.In 1927, Bertolt Brecht began working with a composer named Kurt Weill. Together they wrote several plays, the most famous of which being The Three penny Opera. The play opened in 1928 and starred Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya. Although this musical adaptation of an 18th century opera by John Gay initially was attacked by critics, it grew in popularity and was performed over 400 times over the next two years.As a Marxist, Bertolt Brecht fled Germany in 1933 because of the Nazi terror and moved around Europe. Still under the shadow of Adolf Hitler, Brecht left Europe for America in 1941. During this time, he wrote several plays protesting the rule of Hitler, including Mother Courage and Her Children, The Good Person of Sezuan, Caucasian Chalk Circle, and The Misery of the Third Reich. In 1949 Brecht moved to East Berlin. Seven years later he died from a heart attack.28. What did Brecht do around World War I?A. He met Caspar Nehar.B. He started to create plays.C. He became a famous actor.D. He created German cabaret.29. According to the text, epic theater _____.A. forbids actors to look directly at the audienceB. stresses the importance of reflecting realityC. differs greatly from Aristotle's theoriesD. tries to make people pity the characters30. What dowe knowabout The ThreepennyOpera?A. It was based on John Gay's work.B. Brecht played a leading role in it.C. Brecht completed it in two years.D. It won much praise immediately.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Brecht's theater theories.B. Brecht's important influence.C. Brecht's unique writing style.D. Brecht's life and achievements.D“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed (赋予) with certain rights, that among these arelife, liberty and the pursuit (追求) of happiness.”These are words written in the Declaration of Independence. Finding happiness is a basic human goal.Since 2012, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network has been producing the World Happiness Report. According to their 2015 report, people living in Switzerland are the happiest in the world. Switzerland took the first spot from Denmark which had held the title of being the happiest since the first survey in 2012. It is rather interesting that the top four happiest nations in the world are all small or medium-sized European countries, while England 21, Germany 26 and France 29 are further down the table. Iceland, Denmark and Norway follow Switzerland with Canada being placed 5th among the happiest nations. Wondering how happy folks in the US are? The country came in at number 15. Syria (Asia) came in at 156, Burundi (Africa) 157, and Togo (Africa) 158. They are the least happiest nations coming in at the bottom of the table.So what makes a country happy? Well, its citizens have longer life expectancies, more social support and are more generous. They have more freedom to make life choices, believe that there is less corruption (腐败) in their communities and have a higher GDP per person.Switzerland lies at the crossroads of Europe. In fact, the country is very close to the geographical center of the continent. It is also a melting pot of different cultures — German, French and Italian, which are all official languages spoken here. The Swiss landscape is very diverse as well, from the Swiss Alps to the charming valleys carved out by glaciers.Switzerland is famous for its neutrality (中立), and has not taken sides in any wars. The Swiss have chosen to not be part of the European Union, and the country joined the United Nations only in 2002. Since Switzerland does not participate in wars, its citizens serve in peacekeeping missions around the world.32. The first paragraph is used to _____.A. explain a reasonB. give an exampleC. introduce the topicD. provide the background33. Which country was the happiest in 2012?A. Switzerland.B. Denmark.C. Norway.D. France.34. What do we know from the 2015 World Happiness Report?A. Canada is happier than the US.B. Iceland has less happiness than England.C. The least happiest nation comes from Asia.D. The top five happiest nations are all from Europe.35. The last two paragraphs mainly explain whySwitzerland _____.A. has the high GDP per personB. lies at the crossroads of EuropeC. has won the title of the happiest nationD. serves as a peacekeeper around the world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe 单元测试题1第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
ADear Headteacher Jones,Recently I took a trip with my family to a local botanical garden, Natural Springs. It was amazing how drawn we were to the breathtaking varieties of plants and flowers. Although I realize that we cannot turn our school into such a garden, we can surely add more beauty to its surroundings.I know that purchasing plants for landscaping is expensive, so I suggest that we try my plan. Many homes and apartments in our neighborhood have a lot of landscaping. I have learned that many of these plants must be divided and transplanted each year, otherwise they will become overgrown. During the spring, people could swap plants from their own gardens; they could also bring some plants to donate to our school. It would be a wonderful opportunity for community (社区) members to visit our school and get some different plants here to improve the look of their own yards.I have talked to many students who would like to form a garden club and care for the plants. Mrs. Meer, chair of the biology department, has agreed to supervise (监督) us. The club members would take turns to care for the plants both before and after school. All who attend and visit our school will most likely appreciate the benefits of my project. If you agree to allow us to put my plan into action, I can guarantee that you will be pleased.Please let me know when we can discuss this further.Sincerely,Terri Olsen21. The author’s suggestion is to _____.A. do a plant swapB. buy some plantsC. give a donationD. join a garden club22. As for the author’s suggestion, Mrs. Meer might feel _____.A. doubtfulB. cautiousC. positiveD. curious23. Why did Terri Olsen write this letter?A. To ask students to care for the plants.B. To try to make the school more beautiful.C. To advise students to visit Natural Springs.D. To draw the headteacher’s attention to nature.BAnnalise Emerick is getting ready to play a show in Nashville, Tennessee. It is something she does most nights in coffee houses, bars and other small spaces across the U.S. But tonight, Ms. Emerick will play for a few people in Kristina Shulz’s home.Ms. Shulz has been holding such performances in her home for about four years. As many as 30 people have attended past shows. The crowd is usually a mix of family, friends and neighbors. But some strangers might show up, too. The performances are listed on house concert websites. “We’ve done rock, we’ve had blues, pop, folk, we’ll have anything here,” said Ms. Shulz.House concerts have become an important part of Annalise Emerick’s earnings. “I can play in a bar for 100 dollars, but if I play in a house concert, there are 50 people there and they all pay $20, I’m having a great night. And they’re all buying CDs. It’s amazing,” she said.Ms. Emerick says house concert audiences tend to make more supportive fans. They follow her career, buy her new records, and go to her shows when she is in town. “There’s just a totally unique experience as opposed to playing in a coffee shop or a bar or something like that where people are usually ther e, but you don’t always know if they’re there for you.”Charlie Dahan teaches music management courses at Middle Tennessee State University. He used to organize shows for artists like Annalise Emerick. “The downside for the artists is that most hous e concerts don’t pay guarantees. So you have no idea how much money you’re going to make. In fact, most house concertsby law are not allowed to charge admission (入场费). Most of them can only do a suggested donation,” said Mr. Dahan.24. What can we learn about the performances in Ms. Shulz’s home?A. There has been an audience of 30 each time.B. Different kinds of music have been played.C. They have brought her extra earnings.D. They are not available to strangers.25. According to the text, Annalise Emerick _____.A. has played in Ms. Shulz’s home for four yearsB. can sell more CDs in a coffee house than in a barC. prefers to play in some homes instead of in a barD. has donated all her earnings to help those in need26. In Charlie Dahan’s opinion, house concerts _____.A. can be financially risky for artistsB. can help artists produce more influential worksC. are the best way for singers to become popularD. are greatly encouraged in most parts of America27. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?A. House concerts will replace coffee house shows.B. Many artists like to perform in an open-air concert.C. Annalise Emerick is on her way to be a superstar.D. Music shows in private homes enjoy popularity.CWould you like to travel into space, and experience weightlessness like an astronaut? Meet Sir Richard Branson — a billionaire English businessman, who has made it his life’s duty to make space accessible to tens of thousands of people. Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic, has been testing low orbital spacecrafts that can carry passengers into space.In 1996, the “Ansari X Prize” challenged private teams around the world to build a manned vehicle that could travel to an altitude (高度) of 62 miles (100 kilometers) — the boundary where outer space begins — and back. The winner would be awarded $10 million. Twenty-six companies rose to the challenge. Only one company succeeded. In 2004, Scaled Composites’s SpaceShipOne made it to space and back twice, winning the prize money and making history.Richard Branson was attracted to the possibility of ordinary citizens going into space. He announced a partnership with Scaled Composites to build a next generation vehicle. SpaceShipTwo, announced in 2009, was designed to carry six passengers and two pilots.An aircraft carrier would carry SpaceShipTwo to a height of 50,000 feet and then release (发射) it. Rocket engines would push the spacecraft at 3.5 times the speed of sound, sending it 62 miles above the surface of Earth in about 90 seconds. Once inspace, passengers will experience a short period of zero gravity, and can get out of their seats and float around the cabin. After five minutes in space, the vehicle would re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and land on a runway. The total time from lift-off to touchdown is expected to be about 3.5 hours.On October 11, 2010, SpaceShipTwo completed its first successful test flight. Last year, Richard Branson announced that the first commercial flight could begin as early as 2015. However, just a few months ago, while on a test run, SpaceShipTwo broke apart within two minutes of being released from the aircraft carrier. Will this be a setback (挫折) for space tourism? Anyway, it is just a matter of time before the technology is perfected and space travel becomes a reality.28. Richard Branson’s dream is to _____.A. win the “Ansari X Prize”B. become a billionaire businessmanC. help more people travel into spaceD. travel into space in SpaceShipOne29. What can we learn about SpaceShipTwo?A. It could hold at least ten persons.B. It traveled into space and back twice.C. It reached outer space in 3.5 hours.D. It held Branson’s expectations.30. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _____.A. SpaceShipTwo’s first flight into spaceB. how SpaceShipTwo would workC. passengers’ experience of space travelD. how far a spacecraft can travel31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Space tourism: a challenge for manB. Virgin Galactic’s rapid developmentC. Richard Branson’s trip to spaceD. A sharp rise in space tourismDLast September, the public library at Saint-Omer near Calais in France was preparing an exhibit on English literature. While going through the library’s collections, Rémy Cordonnier came across a copy of Shakespeare’s plays, listed in their records as a reprint from the 18th century. It was missing close to 30 pages, including the title page.This is the first and most comprehensive collection of Shakespeare’s plays. As we know, Shakespeare became popular only much after his death in 1616 and his original manuscripts never survived. About 20 of his works are available to us today only because of the efforts of John Heminge and Henry Condell. These two men were close friends and fellow (同伴的) actors of Shakespeare, and they decided in 1623 to publish 36 of his plays — this is what we call today as the First Folio.This was the first time a folio edition was used only for plays in England. Earlier folios were just used for influential works such as encyclopedias (百科全书) and reference books. Plays were frivolous, since they were considered “entertainment”. The original edition consisted of 750-800 copies, of which only a quarter are available today. When published, they were only sold for around 15 shillings to apound (20 shillings) each. It was thought that the books were originally brought out for use by theatre groups.Evidence suggests that some copies available today were compiled (汇编) in the mid-19th century by owners who only then began to realize their importance. Several books are known to have been lost. The British Library owns 4 copies. In the early 20th century, Henry Folger, President of Standard Oil, collected the largest number of 82 folios.The First Folio at Saint-Omer is believed to be the 233rd discovery and could be worth between $6-7 million. Meanwhile, Saint-Omer has made plans to digitize the book and make it available online. The original will be locked up in their safe along with other rare books in their library.32. Last September, Rémy Cordonnier _____.A. read a copy of Shakespeare’s playsB. attended an exhibit at Saint-OmerC. made an important discoveryD. studied English literature33. What can we learn about Shakespeare’s earlies t folios?A. Most of them can be found in the British Library.B. Most of them were brought out for encyclopedias.C. They were published at the request of Shakespeare.D. Their importance was not recognized when first published.34. The underlined word “frivolous” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.A. unusualB. unimportantC. uninterestingD. unpleasant35. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _____.A. ask people to visit the public library at Saint-OmerB. introduce a new-found folio by ShakespeareC. show the importance of the First FolioD. sing the praises of Shakespeare第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

researching something with so few apparent benefits？Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth？These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments？The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge，we may be pletely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge，we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in munications systems.Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allowscreative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers.The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life，surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different，but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.1．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A．To express his doubts.B．To pare different ideas.C．To introduce points for discussion.D．To describe the conditions on Earth.2．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A．Humans are nature-born to do so.B．Humans have the tendency to fight.C．Humans may find new sources of food.D．Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.3．The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．survival chances B．potential resourcesC．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions4．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A．Space exploration has created many wonders.B．Space exploration provides the best value for money.C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.BVisiting the MoonDuring his term in office，President Kennedy gave full funding to NASA—the space agency.He did this because he wanted to see Americans land on the moon.In July 1969 three men fulfilled Kennedy’s dream during the Apollo 11 mission.Thousands of people had worked for years in order to send them to the moon.There had been 10 prior Apollo missions.One had failed，but the others were successful.Finally it was time to try a moon landing.Their spacecraft took off from NASA in Houston，Texas.A Saturn 5 rocket carried the astronauts and their spacecraft into orbit.They blasted through space at speeds as fast as 25,000 miles per hour(40,234 kph)．Even at that incredible speed，it took four days to reach the moon.Themen had a special craft designed only for landing on the moon.This lunar module was called The Eagle.After The Eagle landed，Neil Armstrong stepped out onto the moon.People all over the world watched on their television sets as he said，“That’s one small step for man，one giant leap for mankind.”Buzz Aldrin followed Armstrong onto the moon’s surface，but Michael Collins stayed circling the moon in the main spacecraft.He had to make sure that nothing happened to the spacecraft that would take them home.The astronauts moved around on the moon，gathering rocks and taking photographs.They did many experiments on the moon.Before they left，they planted an American flag in the ground in the place where they landed.Next to it they put a plaque that read，“We came in peace for all mankind.”The flag and the plaque are still there.Some people think that moon travel may bee mon.They want to build hotels on the moon and have people go on lunar vacations！If that happens，people will visit the site of the first moon landing.They will stand where Neil Armstrong made history.5．Where did the astronauts put a US flag?A．On the lunar buggy.B．On the moon.C．On the Saturn 5 rocket.D．On their spacecraft.6．On a historical time line，what happened first?A．Astronauts went into the space shutter.B．Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.C．The Apollo 13 had an emergency.D．President Kennedy gave full funding to NASA.7．Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon is most like________.A．Isuac Newton naming the laws of motionB．Christopher Columbus discovering North AmericaC．Roald Amundsen reaching the South Pole before anyone elseD．Gutenberg inventing the printing press8．What did Armstrong mean by saying “...one giant leap for mankind.”？A．It was a really big step down from the spacecraft.B．It was a moment of major progress for a human to step onto the moon.C．Only men should go to the moon.D．He could do big leaps on the moon because of its low gravity.答案Ⅰ.1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.AⅡ.1.foot 2.accustomed 3.historic 4.tuned 5．witness

Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to bea fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace ( 步速 ) felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attentionto pace when she was setting such a nice one? I’d overtake (追上 ) her later on when she tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to known him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don ’tchat during a race unless you feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn ’tgive up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was movingaway-first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilledin sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work..36. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?A. It would be hard work.B. It would be an easy race.外研版高中英语选修八Module5单元侧试题C. It would be a test of his strength.D. It would be a good learning experience.37. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was running energetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.38.By saying “a long, punishing hill ”(paragraph5), the writer implies that ______.A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltopB. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easyD. climbing the hill would be a demanding task39.What lesson dose the writer learn from the race:A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.BAbout ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhoodstreet. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH... !!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.He shouted at the kid,“What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!”Building up a headof steam, he went on“.That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money.Why did you throw it?”“Please, mister, please...’mI sorry! I didn’tknow what else to do!” begged the youngster“. I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car“.It’s my brother, mister,”he said. “He rolled of the curb（路沿）and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’tlift him up.”Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?”’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me”.Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to seethat everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE— a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix theside door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent（凹痕）to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw abrick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.40． The boy threw a brick at the businessman ’s car because ________.A. the businessman drove at a high speedB. he envied the brand-new car very muchC. he wanted to ask for some moneyD. he wanted to get help from the driver41． Which of the following is the right order of the story?a． The younger brother threw a brick at Josh ’s car.b． The elder brother fell out of his wheelchair.c．The younger brother begged Josh for help.d．Josh lifted the elder brother back into his wheelchair.e． Josh shouted at the younger brother.A. b, a, e, c, dB. a, c, d, b, eC. b, a, c, e, dD. a, c, b, e, d42． What can we learn from the passage?A. Josh would accept the money from the kids.B. The two kids were Josh ’s neighbors.C. Josh was a kind-hearted man.D. Josh’s new car broke down easily.43． According to the passage, the last sentence means ________.A. trying to get ready for the trouble in your future lifeB. driving fast in a neighborhood street is dangerousC. trying to be more understanding seeing others in troubleD. protecting oneself from being hurtCExperts have put forward detailed plans to a tunnel(地道 )to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers-more than twice the length of the English ChannelTunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event wasco-sponsored (共同发展 ) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.外研版高中英语选修八Module5单元侧试题There is no direct passenger access (通道 ) between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment. Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding. There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits.A professor of Tsinghua university said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.The Xiamen conference focused ( 集中 ) on the longest southern route., which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping stones.The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer Land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.44. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?A. The English Channel Tunnel.B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.D. The passage doesn't mention it.45.The example of English Channel Tunnel shows _______.A.it's not easy to complete a huge projectB.there are many problems to be solved before doing somethingC.discussions among countries usually take a lot of timeD.the preparation takes longer time than the construction46.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored ( 资助 ) the plan.B.If the project is completed, the world's longest tunnel will appear.C.You can't reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D.The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.47.What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?A.The lack of money for the project from the government.B.Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.C.The detailed plans for the tunnel.D.The technical problems with the tunnel.DHelp Wanted Help Wanted Help Wanted Help Wanted PAINTER Must have at VETERINARIAN COOK NEEDED TEACHER Small least3years painting ASSISTANT (兽医助Immediately.Busy private school needs mercial理 )Person needed for downtown restaurant.

Lately,however, people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across thecountry! Usually considered shy and seldom seen, these lions are becoming morenoticeable. In addition, the lions appear to be moving east. They were even reportedin the suburbs ( 郊区 ) of Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago.It seems certain that these “ kingsof the mountains ”are moving. Why?Scientists are not sure. Some think that as the mountain lion population increases inthe west, younger wild cats are leaving the area. These cats are searching for newhomes and new places for food.“ The young males are looking for new homes, ” says Lynn Sadler, who is the director of the MountainLion Foundation in Sacramento, Calif.“People tend to create too many barriers (阻挡), such as buildings, fences,roads, and noise. As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources (水源) , these barriers get intheir way. ”The sightings have made people increasingly watchful. Sometimes the“ mountain lions”that seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. But at least a few of the meetings have been real. The buildingof new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chancesthat people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion, an expert outlinedsome ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats: Never leave pets or pet food outside; properly care for farmanimals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.“ To be fair, ” says the expert,“mountain lions are trying to regain their homesTheywere. here first. Nowwe need to find ways we can live together.”52. Mountain lions are moving probably because.A. the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quietB. more roads are being built into the mountainsC. the number of the lions increases in the westD. young lions are seeking new partners53.

At its height, the Inca Empire controlled all of the western part of the South American continent between Ecuador and Chile. The Inca capital was at Cusco, Peru, and the Inca legends claimed they came from the great Tiwanaku civilization of Lake Titicaca.To control such a huge area, the Incas built roads, including both mountainous and coastal routes. One existing part of the road between Cusco and the palace of Machu Picchu is called the Inca Trail. The amount of control exercised by Cusco over the rest of the empire varied from place to place, as might be expected for such a huge empire. Tribute paid to the Inca rulers included cotton, potatoes, corn, animals, colorful pottery, beer made from corn, fine woolen tapestries (织锦), and wooden, stone, gold, silver and copper objects.The Incas were organized along a complex hierarchical (分等级的) and inherited system. The system ranged in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands of people, and they governed access to such things as land, political roles, and marriage.The only written records about the Incas that we can read today are documents from the Spanish conquerors of Francisco Pizarro. Records were kept by the Incas in the form of knotted strings called quipu. The Spanish reported that historical records — particularly the deeds of the rulers — were sung and painted on wooden tablets as well.56. From Paragraph 1 we can learn that ________.A. the Inca Empire was the largest country in South AmericaB. the Inca Empire was first discovered by the Spanish conquerorsC. the Inca Empire was at its height in the 16th centuryD. Cusco, the Inca capital, was built near Lake Titicaca57. The underlined word “tribute” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. debtsB. moneyC. presentsD. records58. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the transport system in the Inca Empire was goodB. the Inca Trail is the only existing road left of the Inca EmpireC. capable people were elected as rulers in the Inca EmpireD. documents about the Incas mainly recorded the words of the rulers59. According to the passage, quipu was _________.A. a document invented by the Spanish conquerorsB. a ruling system used by the Inca rulersC. a means to record events in the Inca EmpireD. a string used by the Incas to fasten tabletsＢEven small cuts can become infected if they are left untreated. Any break in the skin can let bacteria (细菌) enter the body. But taking good care of any injury that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection.Medical experts say the first step in treating a wound is to use clean water. Lake or ocean water should not be used. To clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean cloth and soap. They say there is no need to use products like peroxide (过氧化氢).It is important to remove all dirt and other material from the wound. After the wound is cleaned, use a small amount of antibiotic (抗生素的) cream. They also help to keep the surface of the wound from becoming dry. Finally, cover the cut with a clean bandage while it heals. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean. As the wound heals, inspect for signs of infection including increased pain, redness and fluid around the cut. A high body temperature is also a sign of infection. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Seek help from a doctor.For larger wounds, or in case bleeding does not stop quickly, use direct pressure. Place a clean piece of cloth on the area and hold it firmly in place until the bleeding stops or medical help arrives. Direct pressure should be kept on a wound for about twenty minutes. Do not remove the cloth if the blood drips through it. Instead, put another cloth on top and continue pressure. Use more pressure if the bleeding has not stopped after twenty minutes. If the bleeding still does not stop, send for a doctor immediately.60. To treat a wound, you should NOT ______.A. clean it with sea waterB. clean the dirt around itC. cover it with a clean clothD. use peroxide61. What should a patient with a wound do if he has a high body temperature?A. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean.B. Put a small amount of antibiotic cream onto the wound.C. Do nothing as it’s not serious.D. See a doctor as soon as possible.62. The underlined word “victim” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______”.A. woundB. painC. bandageD. patient63. Which is the RIGHT order in dealing with large wounds or bleeding?a. Put another cloth on top.b. Cover the wound with a clean cloth.c. Hold the wound tightly.d. Wash the cut with running water.e. Send for a doctor if it is needed.A. a, b, c, dB. b, c, a, eC. d, b, c, aD. c, b, a, eＣNothing beats a Friday night at home when you are snuggling (偎依) up on a couch watching movies. Stop at your local video store and find some movies to get you thinking about what could have been or what might be. Here are some of the best all-time movies you may like.ＴｈｅＭａｔｒｉｘIn this story a computer hacker searches for the truth behind a mysterious force. In the 22nd century it turns out that the world is controlled by a magic computer system called the Matrix and people live in an unreal world. A computer hacker and his comrades overcome great difficulties and at last find a way to take over the Matrix and save the world.ＭｅｎｉｎＢｌａｃｋThis comedy is about J and K, agents (代理人) in a top secret agency, who fight bravely against aliens to save the galaxy (银河) from being destroyed by a bad-tempered alien “bug”.ＨａｒｒｙＰｏｔｔｅｒHarry has lived under the stairs at his aunt and uncle’s house. But on his 11th birthday, he learns that he’s a powerful wizard with a place waiting for him at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he uncovers the truth about his parents’ deaths ... and about the bad man who’s to blame.ＡｎｄｒｏｍｅｄａＳｔｒａｉｎWhen a satellite crashes in New Mexico, the air force sends two men to find it. To their horror, they discover that the probe (探测器) carries an alien virus that has already killed all but two of the residents of the town near where it landed. Now, scientists must stop the virus from spreading.ＴｗｅｌｖｅＭｏｎｋｅｙｓIn the year 2035, James Cole is forced by scientists to go back to 1996 to discover the origin of a virus that wiped out nearly all of the earth’s population. When Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990, he’s arrested and locked up ina mental hospital, where he meets the son of a famous virus expert.64. Which of the following films is about an alien virus?A. ＴｈｅＭａｔｒｉｘ.B. ＭｅｎｉｎＢｌａｃｋ.C. ＡｎｄｒｏｍｅｄａＳｔｒａｉｎ.D. ＴｗｅｌｖｅＭｏｎｋｅｙｓ.65. Who fight(s) with bad creatures from outer space according to the passage?A. Some hackers.B. Agents.C. Some scientists.D. James Cole.66. The purpose of this passage is to _______.A. tell readers more about the latest moviesB. increase the income of the local cinemasC. tell readers how to kill time at homeD. help readers choose which movies to watch67. It can be concluded that these movies are ______.A. science fictionB. romantic onesC. realistic onesD. comediesＤThe US space shuttle Discovery’s safe l anding is an obvious comfort to NASA, which was forced to pause construction of the half-built space station three years ago when the shuttle Columbia broke up upon re-entry into the atmosphere.After landing, shuttle commander Steve Lindsey inspected the spacecraft and declared it free of damage after its long journey. “This is my fourth flight, and I’ve never seen a vehicle that looked as clean as this one did.”That is important to NASA, because it worked more than three years to ensure that shuttles suffer as little damage as possible.NASA chief Michael Griffin attributes Discovery’s success to the new measures they had taken and a bit of luck.“This is as good a mission as we’ve ever flown, but we’re not going to get overconfident,” he said. “We have to take it flight by flight.”During Discovery’s two-week flight, the orbiter carried a third crew member to the space station, which has had only two since Columbia’s accident. It also hauled up new supplies and equipment, and its cr ew members made repairs to station systems critical to continuing the outpost’s construction. Michael Griffin said, “So with this flight, we are ready to get on with construction, and we will do just that.”Station construction restarts late next month, when the shuttle Atlantis is to deliver a pair of solar energy panels, new batteries and other components.Griffin points out that shuttle flights are always risky and that station assembly (装配) missions are the most complicated that shuttles fly. He says only 16 shuttle flights remain before the fleet is retired in 2010, and more orbiter troubles could be ruinous for the space station’s construction schedule.“We don’t have any leeway (松懈),”he said. “We have just enough shuttle flights left to do the job. So, we can’t afford to mess up.”68. From the passage, we learn that __________.A. the shuttle Discovery forced NASA to pause construction of the space stationB. it took NASA less than three years to ensure that shuttles would suffer little damageC. Steve Lindsey has travelled four times in spaceD. Discovery’s successful flight was due to luck69. What do we know about the shuttle Discovery from the passage?A. It broke into pieces on re-entry into the atmosphere.B. Its successful flight means NASA can continue constructing the space station.C. It sent solar energy panels and new batteries to the station.D. It carried two crew members to the space station.70. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Discovery is the worst damaged shuttle after a flight that Michael Griffin has ever seenB. there will be many other shuttle flights in the near futureC. the space station construction will be continued soonD. the crew members ha ven’t repaired the space station71. The underlined words “the fleet” in the last paragraph but one probably mean “___________”.A. the shuttlesB. the stationC. the outpostD. the crew members72. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Space station construction to be continued.B. Space flight accident avoided again.C. Space shuttle Discovery lands safely.D. The space shuttle Discovery’s two-week flight.ＥTattoos (纹身) have been around since prehistoric times. And more recently, society has begun to accept tattoos as a way for people to express themselves. So it is relatively easy to obtain them. However, it is important to make sure that you are getting a good tattoo from a reputable tattoo artist. Tattoos that are not properly applied can end up looking ugly. They can also become infected and cause a great deal of discomfort and health problems.Firstly, the key is to find a good tattoo shop. One of the best ways to do this is to get advice from friends. Youshould also find out about the overall experience. Any tattoo is going to involve some degree of discomfort or pain. Find out how satisfied your friend was with the experience.Next, it is important that you go in and check out the tattoo shop yourself. Look around to see how clean it is in general. Are the instruments properly sterilized (消毒) after use? You can even check the chairs, stools, or beds used for the clients. Do they try to keep them clean? These are important considerations. You want to make sure that the tattoo location offers an atmosphere that is comfortable to you.Many states require licenses for their tattoo artists. Make sure that your tattoo artist is properly credentialed. Find out how long the person has been in business, and where he or she learned the art. You want to make sure that you have a true professional, as that will lower your risk of having problems.Finally, there are proper ways to care for a tattoo after getting one. Make sure that you follow the instructions given by the tattoo artist. After all, even the best tattoo can cause problems if you do not properly care for it in the days after getting the tattoo.73. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to get a good tattoo.B. Tattoos may cause health problems.C. How to find a good tattoo shop.D. The relationship between a tattoo and art.74. According to the passage, the most important thing in getting a good tattoo is ______.A. to get advice from friendsB. to find a clean tattoo shopC. to learn some information about tattoosD. to find a good tattoo shop75.

QRIQ, Sony's robot, is a few steps ahead of you. It can dance and kick a football, and it is the world's first “running”robot.Until now robots could not run because they needed one foot on the floor at all times to remain stable. That all changed when Sony's technology allowed QRIO to run.QRIO might be world's first running robot, but it won't win in a race. The robot's run is more like a jog. At 23 inches tall and weighing 15 pounds, QRIO can travel 46 feet per minute, which is about 0.5 mph. If QRIO were average human size, it would run a mile in 40 minutes. (Many humans can run a mile in about 10 minutes.)And if QRIO falls, it will get right back up. QRIO is programmed to check its position after a fall. It then turns itself face up and stands up again.QRIO can recognize people's faces and voices. It has a special built-in camera that takes a picture when meeting people. It examines the picures and remembers people.QRIO even expresses feelings through movements, conversations, and the use of its lights. QRIO is a quite friendly robot. If you meet the robot, it will ask you what kinds of things you like and don't like. QRIO remembers all of the facts, so it can have more conversations with you. The robot already knows tens of thousands of words, but can always learn more.Don't get too excited. This high-tech robot won't be racing to your house any time soon. Sony says it has no immediate plans to sell QRIO.4.a fall5.Recognizing people6．Expressing feelings7.Learning words8.Ways and steps9．Taking and e of lightsⅣ.短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
