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?Mark Shuttleworth is an engineer from the United States.【单选题】

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.

5、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!Backpacks are convenient because .【单选题】

6、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 ____ 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 from 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】

B.article

C.side

D.area

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，本题考查介词短语in this sense，本句话是说，财富从这个意义上讲不是货币金钱，最佳答案是A。

7、One-Room SchoolsOne-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, ａｎｄ　the mention of them makes people feel a longing fｏｒ"the way things were." One - room schools are an endangered species (种类), however. Fｏｒmore than a hundred years, one - room schools have been systematically shut down ａｎｄ　their students were sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one - room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one - room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are spread through a few other states that have on their road maps wide - open spaces between towns.Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one - room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with new names like "peer -ｇｒｏｕｐteaching" ａｎｄ　"multi - age grouping" fｏｒeducational procedures that occur naturally in the one - room schools. In a one - room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. The fourth grader can work at the fifth grade level in math ａｎｄ　the third grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back ｏｒthe pressures of being skipped (超过) ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his ｏｒher own level without being separated from other pupils. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom ａｎｄ　it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one - room school.A majｏｒcharacteristic of the one - room school system is that ____.【单选题】

A.learning is not limited to one grade level

B.pupils mostly study math ａｎｄ　English

C.some children have to be left back

D.teachers are always busy

8、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the ____. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

A.ceremony

B.funeral

C.grief

D.tears

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，本题可以先看选项，得到信息提示。grief是“悲痛”的意思。A指“典礼”B指“葬礼”D指“眼泪”。根据文章句意，最佳答案是C。

9、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.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真阅读文章，答案依据在文章最后一段。最后一段谈到，旧货店给了服装二次生命，给那些买不起新衣服的人提供便宜衣服，还把一些收入捐给慈善机构，但没有提到阻止富人浪费钱，所以答案是D。

10、March MadnessFｏｒthe rest of the month, an epidemic (流行病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids stay home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the nearly 65 teams in US men\'s college basketball tournament, it begins on March 15 ａｎｄ　lasts through the beginning of April. Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will become the prisoners of basketball festival madness.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners fｏｒevery game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, ａｎｄ　colleagues against bosses.Big name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little - known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, fｏｒmany Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year the little - known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is making a name fｏｒtheir university ａｎｄ　themselves. But ft doesn\'t mean money isn\'t involved. About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will draw over $ 500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post - season revenue, including the NBA (全国篮球协会).Which of the following is NOT an instance of "March Madness"? ____【单选题】

A.Kids run away from school.

B.Husbands kiss their wives.

C.College students keep homework piling up.
