1、Rockets in the SkyIf someone asked you. "What colｏｒis the sky?" I expect that you would answer, "Blue." I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air. We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon ａｎｄ　all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes ａｎｄ　in this way they have found out a great deal. The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket. I am sure that you are asking. "How does a rocket fly?" If you want to know, get a balloon ａｎｄ　then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through neck of the ball off ａｎｄ　this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an air plane. This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space. When an airplane flies too high____. 【单选题】

A.the air will be too thin to support its wings.

B.the air will become thicker.

C.the air will exert pressure on it.

D.the air will disappear in no time.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据文章第2段第5句(Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner)。

2、The Value of AdvertisementMoney spent on advertising is worth spending. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market ａｎｄ　making it possible to provide fｏｒexport at good price. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demａｎｄ　it causes an increased need fｏｒlabor, ａｎｄ　is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, ａｎｄ　travel by bus ｏｒsubway would cost more. ａｎｄ　perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products ａｎｄ　services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people fｏｒa little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so fｏｒlong, fｏｒthe public has the good sense not to buy the poｏｒgoods more than once. If you see a product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised fｏｒit, ａｎｄ　that it has good value. Advertising does more fｏｒthe good of the public than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade. If its messages were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, fｏｒeven the choice of the colｏｒof a shirt is a bit persuasive-advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.From the first paragraph we can see the writer believes that____.【单选题】

A.advertisements are worth reading

B.money spent on advertising is worthless

C.it is worthwhile spending money on a lot of things

D.to spend money on advertising is worthwhile

正确答案:D

答案解析:第1句是主题句，花在广告上的钱是值得花的。接下的句子对是这一句的进一步阐述。因此答案是D。

答案解析:提高生活水平、降低许多服务成本、提供更多岗位在第1段中都可以找到，因此选C。

4、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North ａｎｄ　South Poles are famous fｏｒbeing cold ａｎｄ　icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter ａｎｄ　shrinks(缩小) during the summer. But fｏｒmany years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent ｄｒｅｐin end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 ａｎｄ　2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That\'s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. ａｎｄ　it\'s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was ｓｅｔjust 2 years ago. This continuing trend has made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons fｏｒthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice ａｎｄ　open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water ａｎｄ　the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average ａｎｄ　1.5c warmer than the previous record.With both air ａｎｄ　water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above ａｎｄ　below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska ａｎｄ　western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer was measured just 50 cm by season\'s endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.What may be some of the reasons fｏｒthe ice melt in the Arctic? ______【单选题】

A.Unusually strong winds ａｎｄ　clearer skies.

B.Heavy clouds ａｎｄ　light winds.

C.Longer summers ａｎｄ　shorter winters.

D.Thin ice ａｎｄ　open water.

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，但答案依据还是比较明显，不过跨越了两个段落，文章第五段谈到去年有强风刮过北极，第六段谈到科学家怀疑云层少了，所以答案是A。

5、AirbusDespite bulging ｏｒｃｅｒbooks, the mood at Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing is far from celebratory. Both aviation giants are moaning loudly that their production systems ａｎｄ　supply chains are flawed, albeit fｏｒostensibly different reasons. This week Louis Gallois, the boss of EADS, the Franco-German aerospace consortium that owns Airbus, added substance to warnings a week earlier by the planemaker’s chief executive, Tom Enders, that the dollar\'s decline was "life-threatening" fｏｒthe firm. Mr. Gallois said it was no longer just a possibility that Airbus would have to move a large part of its production to "the dollar zone" ｏｒlow-cost countries, but a certainty.Airbus is already in the middle of Power 8, a big restructuring plan that involves the loss of 10,000 jobs ａｎｄ　the sale of several plants, which is meant to offｓｅｔthe losses caused by the delays in delivering the A380 superjumbo. But Power 8 assumed that a euro was worth $ 1.35, not today\'s $ 1.47. Mr. Gallois estimates that each 10-cent rise in the euro costs Airbus 1 billion. At present, Airbus makes 76% of its purchases within Europe, but generates over 60% of its sales elsewhere. It must now shift some production abroad.Airbus is now likely to forge ahead much further. Mr. Gallois suggests that when the A350 enters service in 2013, 70% of it will have been "purchased" in dollars, against 50% fｏｒthe A380 ａｎｄ　an average 24% of Airbus production today. Because Airbus insists that some of its European suppliers price in dollars that means about 50% of the A350\'s production will be outsourced. New aircraft, such as the A320\'s successor, may be made almost entirely outside the euro-zone.Airbus maintains that exchange rates are not the only reason fｏｒoutsourcing: it is keen to tap into composite-manufacturing expertise wherever it exists. It also insists that it will not repeat the mistakes Boeing has made with its new 787 Dreamliner, about 80% of which has been outsourced. A few weeks ago Mike Bair, the executive responsible fｏｒthe 787 programme, who was recently moved sideways after mounting production delays, launched a withering attack on some of the companies recruited to build the plane. He said that in future Boeing would not entrust design work to partners who "proved incapable of doing it", ａｎｄ　would make suppliers build factories close to Boeing\'s main assembly operation, rather than flying semi-finished sections of the aircraft round the world on huge Dreamlifter transporters.It is too early to conclude that the two rivals are heading in opposite directions- Boeing renouncing the global supply chain just as Airbus adopts it. Each company has its own axe to grind. Airbus needs greater flexibility, ａｎｄ　the weak dollar provides helpful cover as it takes on its grumbling unions. Boeing, fｏｒits part, wants to shift the blame fｏｒdelays to the 787 on to its partners. The logic of global outsourcing in the aerospace industry remains powerful. Whatever they may be saying now. Airbus ａｎｄ　Boeing are more likely to converge than to diverge.The word "converge" (line 7, paragraph 5) most probably means ______.【单选题】

A.unite

B.combine

C.meet

D.cooperate

正确答案:C

答案解析:猜词题。本段指出，虽然两个公司的说法不同，但对于海外采购的态度还是肯定的，因此它们今后更可能是向同一个方向会合而不是各自走上不同的道路。由此可见该词表示的是“会合”，故正确答案为C。
