IV. Reading Comprehension 阅读理解：（共30分）
A
Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel------private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.
Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity（重力）. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.
Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.
56. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _______.
A. It is expensive to travel in space
B. they would find the possible life in other star systems
C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels
D. they want to realise the full potential of tourism
57. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?
A. The gravitational pull
B. The special views.
C. The relaxation in a bar.
D. The space walk.
58. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. traveling in space
B. the ways of living in space hotels
C. zero gravity and space hotels
D. the description of space hotels
B
Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
59. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.
A. nuclear mystery
B. radiation detection
C. radiation level
D. nuclear radiation
60. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.
A. when it kills a few cells
B. if it damages a few cells
C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
61. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.
A. kill large numbers of skins in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into AIDS years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to the loss of organs.
62. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized.
B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.
D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.
C
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power （原子能）.
First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak（泄漏）or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster（灾难）is extremely high.
63. Which of the following is FALSE?
A. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.
B. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.
C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.
D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for mans years.
64. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are _________
A. easy
B. ineffective
C. reasonable
D. impossible
65. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The power station is a safe place.
B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.
C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.
D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.
66. What is this passage about?
A. Dangers from nuclear power.
B. Uses of nuclear power.
C. Public anger at nuclear power.
D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.

A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
“Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn’t have to be that way,” said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home
party-planning business called “A Party in a Basket. “ Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and they’ re very interactive (互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.
The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.

that___________.
A. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
