Jason was determined not to go against their fathers wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father. “Dad will be really mad if he finds out youve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.” “He wont find out，” Mark said，“Ill just have a quick look and shut it down.” Mark had been scolded before for touching his fathers equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him. It was a strangelooking machineone his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“Its an experimental model，” his father had explained，“so dont touch it under any circumstances.” But his fathers warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.” “Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“Its a computer game. I knew it！Dads only been pretending to work. Hes really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：“ENTER NAMES VOYAGER 1：. VOYAGER 2：.” Marks fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names. “INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTORETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)” The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. “I think wed better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened. But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen，the letters changed. “TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”1Why did Mark touch the computer against his fathers warning? AHe wanted to take a voyage.

In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff (鱼钩) and harpoon (鱼叉) and the sail that was furled around the mast (桅杆). The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat. The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches（斑点）of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated. “Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the skiff was pulled up. “I could go with you again. Weve made some money.” The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “Youre with a lucky boat. Stay with them.” “But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.” “I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.” “It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him.” “I know,” the old man said. “It is quite normal.” “He hasnt much faith.” “No,” the old man said. “But we have. Havent we?” “Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then well take the stuff home.” “Why not?” the old man said. “Between fishermen.” 1. The boy left the old man and went in another boat to fish because .A. the old man preferred to fish alone B. the old man was unluckyC. the boys parents ordered him toD. the old mans sail suggested a permanent defeat2. After reading this passage, we may safely conclude that .A. the old man was insistent and not afraid of failureB. the boys papa had confidence in everythingC. the old man caught big fishes during eighty-seven daysD. the boy obeyed his father because he had some doubts about the old man3. What might happen after the last paragraph? A. The old man and the boy might go to fish with other fishermen.B. The old man might go to have a drink with the boy.C. The old man and the boy might go to enjoy beer at the old mans home.D. The old man might go to tell the boys papa about the secrets between fishermen.【参考答案】13、CAB 阅读理解。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。 The Friday after the American holiday of Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. Its said that its the day that store ledgers(分类账)move into the black and companies become profitable.On that day, retailers slash prices to get consumers to buy. It is also a time when many Americans start their Christmas shopping. VOAs Elizabeth Lee tells us how the economy may affect consumers on that bargain day. “Its just the deals, the sales and everything you can get for a lesser price,” said Sandy Thomas, a shopper. But its a nightmare for others. “I think its crazy. Ive done all of my shopping throughout the week so I dont have to go out on Friday,” she said. Its called Black Friday, the start of the traditional Christmas shopping season in the United States. Every year its the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. Stores open before sunrise and there are deep discounts everywhere you look.While the lead up to Christmas is known as the season of giving, Black Friday can get ugly.Last year a crowd of bargain-hunters killed a Wal-mart worker in a New York suburb. This year, many stores are increasing security while they slash prices. “This is a huge time for the retail stores,” said Fred Joutz from George Washington University. “This is when they begin making their profits for the year.”Economics professor Fred Joutz says how Americans spend the weekend after Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.With the unemployment rate above 10 percent, Joutz says Americans are saving more and spending less. “Credit is still strictly controlled whether through credit cards or through borrowing from banks,” he said. Some retailers are attracting consumers by opening on Thanksgiving Day, when shops are traditionally closed. Other stores open their doors anywhere from midnight to four in the morning.And shoppers will be lining up in front of the doors in order to be one of the first ones to walk through and get a big discount. Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually the first items to go. Sandy Thomas says its an annual family tradition and well worth it. “I just save maybe half of what I would have spent on a regular, you know, shopping trip,” she said.Economists say U.S. consumers will spend money this Black Friday, but they will spend it more carefully. 4. The underlined word “slash” in the first paragraph probably means _.A. reduce B. raise C. increase D. change5. The sentence “This day should be a shoppers dream.” should be placed between _.A. paragraph two and paragraph three B. paragraph one and paragraph twoC. paragraph three and paragraph four D. paragraph five and paragraph six 6. Why are many stores increasing security according to the passage?A. Because there are too many people saving more and spending less.B. Because its a time when they begin making their profits for the year.C. Because last year a crowd of bargain-hunters caused an accident.D. Because many stores open their doors from midnight to four a.m.7.What can we learn from the passage?A. Christmas shopping is traditional time and this year it is no exception.B. Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually least discounted.C. The economy only affects consumers on that bargain day.D. Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.【参考答案】47、ABCA 阅读理解。The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homelessand the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s,fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退)have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much lager part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.

Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机).Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture),a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cable(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywinds stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spars to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture )Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. ( ) 1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of _.A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface( ) 2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a flatting spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting _.A. on the sea floor B. on the spar topC. at sea level D. behind the blades( ) 3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can _.A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea该篇是一篇科普类说明文，介绍了风力涡轮发电，这基本切中了当下最受关注的话题新能源和可持续。体现了时代的潮流，跟B篇谋篇一致，话题新颖信息量足，题目并不难。63.细节题。 根据题干定位到原文第二段倒数第二句。从”Hywinds stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power”得出答案B为正确。64.细节题。 根据题干定位到原文第三段最后，得出答案C是正确的。65.推断题。根据文章最后一句，可以推断出这种项目的成功运行将会促进低碳能源的发展，从而得出D选项是正确的。
