Having been to all the major continents and want more？Done all of the extreme sports and are unable_to_get_the_adrenaline(肾上腺素)running_anymore? Space tourism may just be the next big thing on your agenda in the not too distant future.If youve got the idea of traveling and have always dreamed of going beyond the limits of Earth，that possibility may exist sooner than you think.Youll have to wait a few years to book your flight，though，as all of the details are still being worked out.1According to the passage，we know that Dennis Tito_.A. is the only person ever to travel into spaceBspent up to $ 25 million traveling around RussiaCmanaged the space tourism industry in CaliforniaDwas the first space traveler to pay for his trip答案：D细节理解题。由第一段第二句“Dennis Tito.in 2001”可知Dennis Tito是全球第一位花钱参加太空旅行的游客。2Some people criticize space tourism because_.A. it is available to the middle classBthey think it is too expensiveCit is just a playground in spaceDMadonna was not allowed to go答案：B细节理解题。由第二段首句可知，一些人之所以指责太空旅行项目，是因为它是专为富人开设的，代价太高。3What does the underlined part mean?A. You get an incurable disease.BSports no longer excite you.CYou no longer have adrenaline.DSpace tourism is not an extreme sport.答案：B猜测句意题。由第三段知，人们可能厌倦了迪斯尼，可能去过了主要的大陆，尝试过了所有的极限运动，或许这些运动已不能使你兴奋。4What can be inferred from the passage?A. Space tourism is popular among rich people.BThe government is calling for the price of space travel to be cut.CIf you want to go into space，you have to pay in cash.DPeople will be able to go into space by booking plane tickets in the future.答案：A推理判断题。由第一段可推知，太空旅游在富人中流行。BSputnik I was the first artificial satellite.It can be described as an aluminium ball with diameter(直径)of 58 centimetres and weighing 83.6 kilograms，equipped with instruments to measure the temperature and the density(密度)of the atmosphere.Sputnik I was launched into orbit around the Earth by the former Soviet Union on 4 October,1957.Since then，hundreds of artificial satellites have been launched，each with a different purpose.Some artificial satellites are used for telemunications，which enable us to make telephone calls to any part of the world，to see live television transmissions and to municate via the Internet.Other artificial satellites are used for navigation(导航)，so that people on Earth can know at any moment the position of an object，within a few metres.Others are weather satellites，launched to observe the state of the atmosphere and to follow the movement of the clouds as they gather.There are also military satellites，for the purpose of gathering information on the weapons and the troops in countries which may be unfriendly and also to indicate the launch of a missile(导弹)Each satellite has its own orbit which is selected according to its purposemunications satellites，for example，have a geostationary(相对静止地)orbit.That is an orbit which turns at the same speed as the turning round of the Earth.Satellites used for weather forecasting pass over the two poles of the Earth.By doing so，a different part of the Earths surface is viewed on each successive orbit.All artificial satellites get the energy they need by huge solar panels which extend like wings.These are therefore controlled in such a way that they are always turned toward the Sun.5The first manmade satellite was sent into space to_.Ado research on weatherBmunicateCshow directionsDbroadcast TV programs答案：A细节理解题。由第一段中“.to measure the temperature and the density of the atmosphere.”可知，发射第一颗人造卫星的目的是测量大气层的温度和密度。6Which kind of satellites has the same turning speed as the earth according to the passage?AMilitary satellites.BWeather satellites.CSatellites for municating.DExperiment satellites.答案：C细节理解题。从最后一段“munications satellites，for example，have a geostationary(相对静止地)orbit.That is an orbit which turns at the same speed as the turning round of the Earth.”可知。7Whats the same character all satellites share?ACircling the earth at the same speed.BProviding useful information with the same purpose.CHaving the same round shape with advanced instruments.DGetting energy from the sun.答案：D细节理解题。所有人造卫星的共同特点是它们都从太阳获取能量。从最后一段中“All artificial satellites get the energy they need by huge solar panels which extend like wings.These are therefore controlled in such a way that they are always turned toward the Sun.”可知。CEarly this year，Captain Startup was flying an aeroplane over New Zealand.There was a television camera crew on board.Suddenly，out in the night sky，a bright sphere came into view.Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought it was，“UFO”Unidentified Flying Object.Many people believe that the UFO is a visiting craft from outer space.The camera crew went into action and started filming.That week people all over the world saw the film of this mysterious light on their television screens.Someone described the object as“a shining ping pong ball”What was it? Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The Captain and the film crew believed it was.Other observers had many different explanations.Some say it was Venus.Some say it was just a trick of light.The people on the aeroplane were not the only ones who saw the“UFO”An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen.When a reporter asked him if he believed in UFOs，he said，“I dont know what they are，but Ive got an open mind on them.”Like many scientists，he thought that a flock of birds caused dots on his radar screen when the UFO appeared.Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus.At that time of year it is very bright and easy to see.And from a moving aeroplane it can appear to be moving fast，So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist.8Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The Captain believed that the UFO was visiting craft from outer space.BThe camera crew believed that the UFO was visiting craft from outer space.CThe air traffic controller believed that the UFO was visiting craft from outer space.DMany people believed that the UFO was a visiting craft from outer space.答案：C从第二段可以看出，那个空中交管员认为那是一群鸟在他的雷达屏幕上造成的圆点。9Which of the following possibilities is NOT mentioned?A. The UFO was from outer space.BThe UFO was another plane.CThe UFO was an unusual effect of light.DThe UFO was Venus.答案：B要选出文中没有提到的可能性，文中并没有说那可能是另一架飞机。10“I dont know what they are but Ive got an open mind on them”(in the second paragraph)probably means that_.Ahe believes the UFO es from outer spaceBhe disbelieves the UFO es from outer spaceChe neither believes nor disbelieves that the UFO e from outer spaceDhe agreed with most of the people答案：C第二段中那个空中交管员说他思想开明，因此他可能相信也可能不相信飞碟是从外太空来的。11According to the passage，the writer probably means to say that_A. UFO doesnt really existBUFO is really unidentifiedCUFO es from outer spaceDUFO is only peoples imagination答案：B从最后一段可以看出，到目前为止，还没有确切的证据证明飞碟确实是存在的，所以有没有飞碟还是不确定的。DBruce Lee(born Li Junfan；27 November 194020 July 1973)was a Chinese American and Hong Kong actor，martial arts instructor，philosopher，film director，film producer，screenwriter，and founder of the Jeet Kune Do(截拳道)He is widely considered by many mentators and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of modern times，and a cultural icon.Lee was born in San Francisco，California in the United States.Born a sickly child，he was named Li Junfan，a female name by his mother to keep away from evil spirits.As a kid，martial arts and bodybuilding were his only interest；studies didnt interest him.In 1946 he appeared in many films as a child actor.He appeared in 20 movies and rarely in school.He soon became involved with a gang and his mother shipped him back to America before his 18th birthday so he could avoid ending up in prison.It was during this time he began teaching martial arts，which soon led to film and television roles.Lee also studied philosophy at the University of Washington，at the same time acquiring his considerable skills in the martial arts like karate，kung fu and so on.Before long，Lee landed his first US showbiz role：Kato in The Green Hornet，a 19661967 TV superhero drama from the creators of Batman.However，Lee_couldnt_get_Hollywood_to_embrace_him and hence returned to Hong Kong to make films.His Hong Kong and Hollywoodproduced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim，and sparked a major surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s.The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hong Kong and the rest of the world as well.He is noted for his roles in five featurelength films，Lo Weis The Big Boss(1971)and Fist of Fury(1972)；Return of the Dragon(1972)，directed and written by Lee；Warner Brothers Enter the Dragon(1973)，directed by Robert Clouse；and The Game of Death(1978)，directed by Robert Clouse posthumously.Lee became an iconic figure known throughout the world，particularly among the Chinese，as he portrayed Chinese nationalism in his films.While Lee initially trained in Wing Chun，he later rejected welldefined martial art styles，preferring instead to utilize useful techniques from various sources in the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy.李小龙是一位具有全球知名度的华人巨星，被认为是武术家、哲学家和截拳道的创立者，是动作片、甚至中国功夫的象征。12The reason why Bruce Lee was given a female name by his mother was that_.Ashe wanted to keep him away from misfortuneBhe looked like a girl when he was bornCa female name could help him get rid of diseasesDhe was in a poor state of health when he was born答案：D细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知李小龙的妈妈给他取女孩的名字是因为他出生时身体很不好，故D项正确。13Why was Bruce Lee brought back to America before he was 18?ABecause his mother wanted him to receive a good education in America.BBecause his mother was afraid he might do something bad and be punished.CBecause his involvement with a gang may end him up in prison.DBecause he wanted to make movies in America.答案：C细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“He soon became involved with a gang and his mother shipped him back to America before his 18th birthday so he could avoid ending up in prison.”可知C项正确。14The underlined part“ Lee couldnt get Hollywood to embrace him”in the third paragraph means _.AHollywood refused to accept himBhe wasnt interested in HollywoodChe couldnt give way to HollywoodDhe knew Hollywood didnt suit him答案：A句意理解题。根据上下文判断，本句的含义为“他无法打开进入好莱坞的大门，无法让好莱坞接受他”，所以选择A。15The passage is intended to_.A. introduce to the readers some famous films featured by Bruce LeeBpopularize Chinese martial artsCtell the readers the family background of Bruce LeeDintroduce Bruce Lees contributions to spreading Chinese martial arts答案：D写作目的题。根据文章第一段及最后两段可以判断本文旨在告诉读者李小龙在传播中国武术方面所作出的巨大贡献。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从对话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。It seems that the Englishmen just cant live without sports of some kind._16_Whenever you go in this country，you will see both children and grownups knocking a ball about with a stick or something，as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls!
