1、The Race into SpaceAmerican millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space. "I spent sixty years on Earth ａｎｄ　eight days in space ａｎｄ　from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives," Tito explained. He loved his time in space. "Being in space ａｎｄ　looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have."This kind of experience isn\'t cheap. It cost $ 20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. "Fｏｒme it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when didn\'t have any money," he told reporters.On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world\'s second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African businessman. At the age of twenty - eight, he also paid $ 20 million fｏｒthe eight - day trip.Both Tito ａｎｄ　Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a company called Space Adventures. The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list fｏｒflights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn\'t exist yet.Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it’s so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.That day may soon be here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an islａｎｄ　in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia ａｎｄ　California, seven days in space, ａｎｄ　a vacation in Tonga, fｏｒ$2 million.However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA\'s deputy assistant administratｏｒfｏｒspace flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this, it may take time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down?Both Tito ａｎｄ　Shuttleworth have climbed Mount Qomolangma.【单选题】

3、Women Staying in Mini-Skirts fｏｒLongerBritish women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of40, according to research by Debenhams.Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt. after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies ａｎｄ　are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there\'s no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s ａｎｄ　early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. "The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies fｏｒlonger may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.The Debenhams\' study showed that a modern woman\'s love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn\'t buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistbａｎｄ　of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 ａｎｄ　19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 ａｎｄ　27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of27 ａｎｄ　34, as those early relationships break down, ａｎｄ　new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee fｏｒthe very first time since school days at the age of42.Which of the following statements about the length of the mini-skirts is true_____?【单选题】

A.At the age of 14, girls often wear mini-skirts which are about 46cm in size.

B.Girls at the age of 19 wear the shortest mini-skirts.

C.At the age of 23, most girls wear mini-skirts which are 37cm long.

D.From the age of 23, skirt length increases because girls are in their first stable relationship.

正确答案:D

答案解析:从倒数第2段可知，从23岁开始，女性所穿着的超短裙长度从32cm渐增至37cm，主要是因为这个阶段她们普遍有了稳定的恋爱关系。

4、Shopping at Second - hａｎｄ　Clothing StoresWhen 33 years old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second - hａｎｄ　clothing stores was just something he did－"like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget ａｎｄ　decided he could save a lot of money by shopping fｏｒclothes at thrift shops."Even new clothes are fairly disposable (用后即丢掉的) ａｎｄ　wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons fｏｒshopping fｏｒsecond - hａｎｄ　clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop fｏｒa crazy - looking shirt. ａｎｄ　some shop as a means of conserving energy ａｎｄ　helping the environment.Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, fｏｒher, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said: "Also, why pay 30 dollars fｏｒa new coat when you can get another one fｏｒa lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US－"some as big as department stores". All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), ａｎｄ　when they have a surplus (盈余), they\'ll have "stuff a bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes fｏｒonly 5 ｏｒ10 dollars.Julia Stocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second - hａｎｄ　clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness."I\'d say that second - hａｎｄ　stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works fｏｒa pro - conservation organization, the center of a New American Dream. "Thrift shops prevent waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场), They give clothing a second life ａｎｄ　provide cheaper clothing fｏｒthose who can\'t afford to buy new ones ａｎｄ　generate (创造) income fｏｒcharities. They also provide a way fｏｒthe wealthy ａｎｄ　middle classes to shed (摆脱) the guilt fｏｒtheir level of consumption."Thrift shops can do everything EXCEPT ____【单选题】

A.give clothing a second life.

B.generate income fｏｒcharities.

C.provide cheaper clothes fｏｒthe poor.

D.stop rich people from wasting money.

5、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez ａｎｄ　German Resendiz have become friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak ａｎｄ　hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was borned deaf, ａｎｄ　his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten."We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids," German remembers. "Before then, I didn\'t know I was deaf ａｎｄ　I was different.""Being young ａｎｄ　deaf in regular classes was very hard," signs Orlando. "The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try hard to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult fｏｒthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone. so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs. "ａｎｄ　we can\'t ｏｒｃｅｒfood in a drive - thru."Despite their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They got their jobs through a "workability" program designed fｏｒteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, ａｎｄ　Orlando started in November."The other people who work here have been very nice to us," Orlando signs. "They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we\'ve learned a lot ａｎｄ　we\'re getting better.The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said.

8、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods ａｎｄ　services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ　clothing", ａｎｄ　"services" such as transport ａｎｄ　entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ　minerals, ａｎｄ　have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ　a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years ____ civil ａｎｄ　external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ　other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ　stable political conditions, ａｎｄ　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ　consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ　other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

A.as

B.on

C.with

D.from

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，本题考查动词短语suffer from，“遭受……”，最佳答案是D。

9、WealthAmong the more colorful characters of Leadville\'s golden age were H. AW. Tabｏｒａｎｄ　his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife ａｎｄ　two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, ｏｒperhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville\'s fortune ａｎｄ　wealth. Tabｏｒknew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, ａｎｄ　tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food ａｎｄ　supplies, ｏｒ"grub", while they looked fｏｒore, in return fｏｒwhich he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this fｏｒa number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in ａｎｄ　asked fｏｒ"grub". Tabｏｒhad decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, ａｎｄ　Tabｏｒwas too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won\'t make any difference," He said ａｎｄ　went on selling shoes ａｎｄ　hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in gave Tabｏｒa one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside ａｎｄ　began to dig, After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabｏｒbought the shares of the other two men, ａｎｄ　so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made l,300,000 fｏｒTabｏｒin return fｏｒhis $17 investment.Later Tabｏｒbought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabｏｒbecame its first mayor, ａｎｄ　later became lieutenant governｏｒof the state.The word "grubstake" in paragraph 2 means_____.【单选题】

A.to supply miners with food ａｎｄ　supplies

B.to open a general store

C.to do one\'s contribution to the development of the mine

D.to supply miners with food ａｎｄ　supplies ａｎｄ　in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered

正确答案:D

答案解析:第2段中grubstake的词义与D所述内容是相同的，即“供给探矿者资金、衣物、食品以及其他物品”。

10、Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, ａｎｄ　a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don\'t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, ａｎｄ　maybe even light your way home.Lawrence C. Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia ａｎｄ　the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass, have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, ａｎｄ　scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles, ａｎｄ　other battery-powered devices to get around ａｎｄ　do their work. The backpack\'s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer\'s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues in the Sept. 9, Science.The backpack\'s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer\'s back, ａｎｄ　the whole pack moves up ａｎｄ　down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7. 4 watts.Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack ａｌｔｅｒtheir gaits in response to the pack\'s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably ａｎｄ　with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric ａｎｄ　non-electric versions of the backpack.The backpack could be especially useful fｏｒsoldiers, scientists, mountaineers, ａｎｄ　emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. Fｏｒthe rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, ａｎｄ　listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren\'t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!What is the most important feature of the backpack invented by Lawrence C. Rome ａｎｄ　his colleagues?【单选题】

A.It produces electricity fｏｒelectronic devices while the wearer walks.

B.It can be used as cell phones, GPS in the military actions ｏｒfield studies.

C.It is small ａｎｄ　convenient.

D.It is light ａｎｄ　easy to carry.

正确答案:A

答案解析:第2段的第1句说，Lawrence C. Rome及其同事们发明的这种背包，当背着背包走路时，会有电能产生。该段最后一句告诉我们，背包的这种性能可减少背包的重量，因为不必携带备用电池。
