Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experimentsthat we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.But even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. As for the USA, it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. Although it is the richest country in the world, it has much debt every year. It has to make arrangements about its finance, and try to find a balance in all these issues. ()1. From Paragraph 2, we learn that_________A.the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowB.many experiments have been done in the international space stationC.the international space station is necessary for people to explore space moreD.people have traveled to Mars from the international space station()2. Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station?A.That it requires a lot of money.B.That it needs everyone's effort.C.That it will benefit every participating country.D.That it is too far away from the earth.()3. The underlined word “aggregated" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by_________A.unitedB. scoldedC. allowedD. forbade()4. Which of the following aspects about building the international space station is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Difficulties.B. Cooperation.C. Significance.D. Specific arrangements.Section CDirections ：Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. In the children’s opinion, they had something that they couldn't explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He stirred(J教起_) Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “ It’s a mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come often. ”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o'clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add，“You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie. ” Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James' voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggiewoke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home by the last train，just after two o’clock.Maggie's children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words，“lost two wives and taken a third ” They wondered about those two unfortunate，lost ladies. They asked each other what their/伽（命运）had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)1.Why did Maggie never prepare anything special for James?2.We know James Maggie and her children.3.When did Maggie feel pleased?参考答案Ill.(A)(1) come (2) so that (3) the (4) to survive (5)are put (6) will melt (7)If (8)goes(B) (1) on (2) to be overfished (3) who/that (4) providing (5 ) biggest ( 6 ) causing (7)have been polluted (8)to be made Part Three Reading and Writing I .
