He was a geologist and loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his collection at the university. More often than not, we followed him.One day, we left early, and this time, our uncle gave us two backpacks. “ You can help me carry the samples(样本),” he explained.Surely, why not? The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples.We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncles backpack was half-empty.“Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.“I didnt.

And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”We did. They were full.“I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things.”This little lesson was one of the most important lessons I ever had.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the users position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.（1）According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _.A . cant be lost in a new cityB . cant find their way in different countriesC . can learn about the culture of an unknown placeD . can spend the least time getting to another place（2）We can learn from the passage that _.A . there are three parts to the GPSB . a GPS cant be put into a watchC . a GPS can help you start your carD . the GPS are becoming more and more expensive（3）The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “_”.A . ReceiversB . GPS devicesC . SatellitesD .

All GPS devices have electronic maps.B . People in many countries will use the GPS for free.C . The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.D . The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.4. （10分）阅读理解 As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.Scientists have found out that the radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation wont be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. Its reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4 mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage(损坏). Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish.Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.（1） shows the man-made things in space in the correct way. A . Space rubbish: 20%; Spaceships: 0%; Satellites: 40%B .

Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space.B . Every one of us can have a travel to space in ten years.C . The harm of the radiation may be found in the spacemens children.D .
