spend large amounts of dollars to fly into space, including paying $100,000 for a 15minute trip into the heavens, according to a poll (调查) released on Monday.Possibly bored by our Mother Earth or inspired by such pioneers as first American in space Alan Shepard and first millionaire in space Dennis Tito, the poll says 7 percent of rich Americans would pay $20 million for a twoweek orbital(太空轨道) flight and 19 percent would pay $100,000 for 15minute suborbital flight.The poll by Zogby did telephone interviews with 450 Americans whose yearly incomes are more than $250,000 or whose net worth is more than $1 million.The poll is intended to get an idea of what rich people think and not the man in the street who loves the idea of going into space but cant afford it.He added, “We are saying these trips will cost a minimum of $100,000 for a 15minute trip, which was the amount of time the first American in space, Alan Shepard, had and for that you get to feel space weightlessness and see the world from up there.” that trip would take a tourist 50 miles (80 kms) into space.Webber said a surprising 7 percent of the wealthy polled said they would be willing to take a twoweek flight to an orbiting space station, paying the $20 million that the Russians charged the two pioneering space tourists who have already made the trip, South African Mark Shuttleworth and American Dennis Tito.If the price dropped to $0.5 million, 16 percent of those surveyed would be interested.Space tourists would have to meet medical standards and only be able to go to the International Space Station.Lance Bass, a singer, is currently undergoing tests to see if he could become the third space tourist.He wants to become the first entertainer in space.5Whats the main purpose of this poll by Zogby?ATo find out what people in the US think of travelling into space.BTo find out how much it will cost to travel into space.CTo find out how wonderful it is to travel into space.DTo find out what rich people in the US think of travelling into space.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第四段“The poll is intended to get an idea of what rich people think and not the man in the street who loves the

given主语children与give之间为动宾关系，且该句陈述客观事实，故应用一般现在时的被动语态。4protection此处作介词of的宾语，故应用其名词形式。5themselves根据语境，这里指“保佑自己避开灾祸”，them的反身代词为themselves。6choice谓语动词是单数形式，故choose的名词形式也应为单数。7andboth.and.是固定搭配，连接两个并列成分，意为“既又”。8workingpeople是work的逻辑主语，两者间为主谓关系，故应用现在分词working作后置定语。9easily修饰动词catches应用副词。10if/when此处语境为“如果/当你想少吃一些，用蓝色的盘子吃饭可以有所帮助”。用if或when均符合语境。.短文改错Our
