During the day he studied chemistry, and in his spare time, he took flying lessons. Shortly after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, he left college to join the Marines, flying fighter planes in the Pacific theater during the Second World War, and later in the Korean conflict.In 1959, the newly-formed National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, put out a call for test pilots. Of the 508 competitors, seven men, including John Glenn, were chosen for astronaut training. These were the Mercury(水星) 7, Americas space pioneers. John Glenn did not get his wish of becoming the first man in space, but he did become the first American in deep space, orbiting the earth three times on February 20th, 1962.At the time, few members of the public realized the dangers involved in space flight. “The risks were extremely high,” said then- NASA Flight Director Gene Krantz. “And you know, when we put John Glenn on board a rocket, he was flying the 6th Atlas and 2 of the previous 5 had blown up.”Discouraged by lack of flight assignments in the Apollo moonshot program, John Glenn left NASA in 1964. For the next decade, he worked in the private apartment. Eventually, he ran for the U.S. Senate ( 参议院）and, after two failed attempts, won a seat in 1974. He would represent Ohio for 24 years. And just before he ended his political career, at the age of 77, he became the oldest person to fly in space as a member of the Discovery space shuttle.The last of Americas first astronauts has left us on December 8 at the age of 95, but motivated by their example, we know that our future here on Earth drives us to keep reaching for the heavens.”21. The text is organized in the order of _.A. frequency B. importance C. time D. preference22. John Glenn quit NASA because _. A. his wish failed. B. he showed interest in politics. C. he had no flight task to accomplish D. he was too old to keep on in space.23. From what Gene Krantz said, we know John Glenn was _.A. brave B. aggressive C. fragile D. dangerousBIts holiday season and time for shopping. There are a bunch of items on your shopping lists ranging from small gifts, toys and festive decorations to Christmas and New Year cards. Whats your first reaction to products labeled “Made in China.”? If you still tend to relate “Made in China” to poor quality, you need to update your ideas. Chinas ability to produce high-quality products has been recognized by a growing number of foreigners. Its a misunderstanding to associate low quality with “Made in China”.Cameron Purdy, a Web user, says that just because China manufactures poor-quality products does not mean it cannot manufacture high-quality products. He explains that the poor-quality products one purchases in the US for example, are made in the quality that the American companies ask for. “The price that you pay for the product has no relationship to the cost of its manufacturing,” suggested Purdy. For example, for an item priced at $20 in the US, the cost of manufacturing it paid by the American company is usually less than $1. To guarantee the room for profit(利润), the Chinese co-manufacturer spends less than $1 to produce the item.Amanda Wu, who lives in Shanghai, noted that many top brands have manufacturing factories located in China, and the most convincing example of Chinas manufacturing quality is Apple products. On the back of the iPhone, one can find the product is Made in China “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled (装备）in China.” Chinese and foreign Web users commented that some Chinese products with good reputations around the world are Haier, Lenovo, GREE, Huawei and China Railway High-speed.On the other hand, foreign misunderstandings can sometimes affect Chinese peoples minds. For instance, when Chinese people travel abroad, some would still avoid buying products Made in China. Its time for the world to stop relating Made in China with low-quality products. Just remember, you get what you pay for.24. How does Purdy make his point more convincing?A. By using quotes. B. By making experiments. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving examples.25. How many Chinese products are well received worldwide in the text?A. Seven. B. Six C. Five. D. Four.26. When abroad, Chinese people dont buy Chinese products because of _.A. High priceB. Low qualityC. Old fashionsD. Foreign misunderstandings27. What is the main idea of the text?A. Chinese products are the best in the world.B. How to tell apart the quality of Chinese products.C. How to improve the quality of Chinese products.D. Chinese products dont have to mean poor quality.CI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolwork.

My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now Ive got a full-time job there.

But others have been developed for education, to train doctors and in military training. VR gives the people who use it an interactive(交互式的) 3D experience. They can see realistic images and hear sounds that are almost like those one experiences in real life.Khora Virtual Reality opened earlier this year in Denmarks capital, Copenhagen. It may be the first virtual reality store in the world, where people can learn about virtual reality and create and play it. In the companys VR game “Cityscape Repairman,” players must take care of the citys roads and public services to continue playing.Morten Haulik is the companys event manager. “Its super important to give people the experience of actually walking around in the world. It could be the Great Wall of China or the space station or things like that, but if you really need to learn something about it, you actually need to see it in real life, and touch it.”Lajboschitz, CEO of Khora, says that is what students at the University of Copenhagen experience. “My favorite thing is showing people virtual reality and then, when they take off the goggles (护目镜), its like, Whoa, I forgot that I was in this space with white walls and with people around me. ”Clara Lykkegaard is a student at the university. “I have read about virtual reality before, and Ive seen others trying it, but I have never tried it myself. And it is a brand new world. Its so magical because you almost forget where you are.”Khoras leaders believe helping students get interested in this technology might persuade some of them to work in the industry, and gain a share of what is expected to be a more than 3 billion-dollar market by 2020.32. Where can you most probably experience VR?A. At home B. At schools C. In China D. In space station33.

To raise the interest of readers in VR technology.B. To persuade readers to use VR in life.C. To introduce a VR game to readers.D. To advocate buying VR goggles.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Youve decided on getting a goldfish?
