The British Museum seems to think so. A history of the World in 100 Objects, an exhibition about rare and ancient objects from the world, has made it a success.The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical objects. But why choose these 100 objects to tell stories of our worlds history?It all started with a challenge（挑战）.Neil MacGregor, who was once director of the British Museum, was asked by BBC to choose 100 objects from the museums huge collection. The objects had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.MacGregor accepted, and took four years to choose each object himself.In 2010, MacGregor appeared on BBC radio, giving a detailed（详细的）explanation of each object. The show was a big hit and all these 100 objects were shown in the British Museum. A book with photos of each object soon followed.The objects had to cover the whole world, from a cooking pot to a golden galleon, from a Stone Age tool to a credit card. MacGregor wrote.The collection includes many important objects from China. There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty, showing China as the first country to use paper money.But its not just ancient things that are shown. Among them are some modern things like a solar-powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.Of course, the collection could only be a history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know. MacGregor wrote.（1）A history of the World in 100 Objects is a(n) _.A .

The history of the world is too long for us to show.C . The British history is one part of the worlds history.D . The collection only shows part of the worlds long history.4. （4分）阅读理解 Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. But does that mean youll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool.One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is chief sniffer (嗅探员). NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components before they are used in spacecrafts (航天器).Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually important. A spacecraft is of small size and high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. And once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells, Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that could threaten astronauts health.Another job, the space tour guide, may seem a little ahead of its time after all, whats the point of hiring a tour guide when there arent any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space lover such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Bright man have already signed up for tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for Earthlings.Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy (天文学), astrophysics (天体物理学), geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of space travel.Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule (太空舱) with the same group of people, which is why a space psychologist is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely.Were crossing the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and reality, said Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research. Things weve seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities.（1）How many cool and new space jobs are mentioned in the passage? A . Two.B . Three.C . Four.D . Five.（2）What does the article mainly discuss? A . How science fiction becomes reality.B . The possibility of space travel for common people.C . Career opportunities that you shouldnt miss.D . Cool jobs in space other than being an astronaut.（3）According to the article, George Aldrichs job at NASA is mainly about _. A . measuring the size and temperature of spacecraftsB . keeping astronauts safe from things that have unpleasant smellsC . cheering astronauts up with excellent storiesD . cleaning up dangerous chemicals that are found in spacecrafts（4）What is Rohit Talwars attitude toward new job opportunities in space? A . Worried.B . Doubtful.C . Pleased.D . Negative.二、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共1分)5. （1分）配对阅读：左栏是五个学生的来信,右栏是Dr. Holly的回信。请根据学生的来信为他们选出最合适的回信。( B )_I have some trouble in communicating with my parents.We have complete different ideas on many things.Lynn_My dream is to be a professional athlete.My dad thinks I started too late and Ill never be able to make it.He puts me down, but I want his support.What should I do?Jeff_I just moved and Im kind of shy, so how do I make new friends?Jessica_What should I do if I failed a test?
