人教版精品英语资料（精校版）Unit 4Exercise 1(建议用时：15分钟)阅读理解AAstronomy is the oldest science known to man.Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens.But man was limited by what he could see with his eyes alone.The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago.They could see the size，color，and brightness of stars.They could see their places in the sky.They watched the stars move as the seasons changed.But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.Each new tool added to the files of astronomy；it helped man reach out into space.Until there were telescopes(望远镜)，man knew little about the moon.They did not know that the planet called Saturn(土星) has rings around it.Their sight was so limited that they could not see all the planets.In the early 1700s，people thought there were only six planets.Before the spectroscope(分光镜)，man did not know what kind of gases are in the sun or other stars.Without the radio telescope(电波望远镜)we did not know that radio noises come from far out in space.Today，astronomy is a growing science.We have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.1.The passage mainly tells us _.A.the spectroscope helps man know what kind of gases are in the sun and other starsB.there are eight planets in spaceC.there was much noise in spaceD.science cant grow fast without modern technology解析：主旨大意题。文章第一段为主题段，此段的最后一句话为主题句，其他段都是围绕这一主题展开，故答案选D。答案：D2.Thousands of years ago，_.A.man watched the stars with their eyes B.telescopes helped man to study the starsC.man knew nothing about the skyD.man knew Saturn has rings around it解析：细节理解题。由第一段第二、三句话可知，在几千年前人们主要通过肉眼来观察星球。答案：A3.When the Greeks watched the stars，they knew all of the following except _.A.the color of the starsB.the size of the starsC.the movement of the starsD.what the stars were made of解析：细节理解题。由第二段可知，只有D项的内容“星球是由什么组成的”没有提到。答案：D4.Man now knows _.A.the moon has rings around itB.there are six planetsC.Saturns rings can be seen by human eyesD.radio noises come from far out in space解析：推理判断题。由第四段最后一句可推知，现在人们已经知道无线电噪声来自遥远的外太空。答案：DBBrian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris.He was wearing three shirts，a jacket，two pairs of socks，a pair of shorts，and two pairs of jeans.He was carrying one small backpack，which was very full，but he didnt have any other luggage.Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight.He found Tony near the Air France counter.Tony gave him a roundtrip ticket and a small package.“Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris.He will have a sign with your name on it.I think you can find him easily，”Tony said，“You dont have any luggage，right？”“Only this backpack，”Brian answered，“You said I could bring one carryon bag.”“Thats right.One carryon bag is fine.Have a good trip.”“Thanks.”Is Brian a criminal？ Not at all.He is an aircourier.And he paid only $110 for the roundtrip ticket to Paris.Aircouriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day.Often，the only way they can do this is to use an aircourier company.It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an aircourier，but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as aircouriers.The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year.However，aircourier travel isnt for everyone.But if you have very little money，can be flexible about your travel plans，and dont mind wearing the same clothes for a week，it can be a great way to take a vacation！语篇解读文章主要讲述了利用航空快递的利与弊。5.Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel？A.Because they were the uniforms for aircouriers.B.Because that made him easier to be recognized.C.Because he would be charged for taking much luggage with him.D.Because he was required not to have much luggage with him.解析：细节理解题。由第三段“Only this backpack，Brian answered，You said I could bring one carryon bag.”可知， Brian只被允许带一个背包。答案：D6.Businesses choose the aircourier service because _.A.it costs lessB.it is flexibleC.it grows fastD.it saves time解析：细节理解题。从倒数第二段最后 一句“It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an aircourier，but it is quick.”可知选D。答案：D7.Aircourier travel is a good choice for those who _.A.have much moneyB.hate wearing the same clothesC.have much personal luggageD.are flexible about their travel plans解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句话可知“航空快递旅行并不是适合每一个人。它主要面向那些钱少，旅行计划比较灵活的游客”，故选D。答案：D8.The author of the text mainly _.A.describes the activities of a lawbreakerB.suggests a way to travel for everyoneC.talks about the aircourier travelD.tells us about a developing business解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了利用航空快递的利与弊，故选C。答案：C
