The Race into Space
American 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. “For me it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when I 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 for the 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 for flights 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 administrator for space 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?
16.Dennis Tito was the first tourist in space.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
17.Mark Shuttleworth is an engineer from the United States.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
18.Both Tito and Shuttleworth have climbed Mount Qomolangma.

Intelligent Machines
1 Medical scientists are already putting computer chips(芯片)directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson’s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one of the world’s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.
2 Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona, the virtual(虚拟的)hostess of Kurzweil’s homepage, who is programmed to understand what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, and Ramona also dances and sings.
3 Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a “seeing machine”. This will be “like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world”, he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensor(探测器)which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensor will describe to the person everything it sees.
4 Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the “listening machine”. This invention will recognize millions of words and understand any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to translate into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.
5 But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won’t be ready for at least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.

23.Paragraph 2 ______
24.Paragraph 3 ______
25.Paragraph 4 ______
26.Paragraph 5 ______
A.A new pair of eyes
B.Computers that can communicate
C.Everlasting consciousness on a computer
D.Time to break off a friendship
E.An author and researcher
F.A new pair of ears

27.Ray Kurzweil works with computers to help people __________.
28.Ramona is able to understand __________.
29.Blind people will be able to see the world with __________.
30.People without hearing problems may also be interested in using __________.

A.what you say
B.a pair of sunglasses
C.the listening machine
D.a visual sensor
E.who have disabilities
F.living forever in a computer

第4部分:阅读理解(第31~45题,每题3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇 Britain’s Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain and won the “Young Sailor of the Year” award.
But Ellen really became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of the only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite many problems, she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen’s personality. When she was younger, she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one-way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht(游艇), slept under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 1997, alone for 33 days.
Ellen has had to learn many things, because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sailmaker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman and cook. She also has to be very fit, and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time she’s in the middle of the ocean, she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to repair the sails — at four o’clock in the morning, with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs; Ellen says: “I was exhausted when I came down. It’s hard to describe how it feels to be up there. It’s like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off”.
But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的): “A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this. I just feel lucky to be here”.
31.In the Vendee Globe race, Ellen won
A.the second place.
B.a gold medal.
C.the “Young Sailor of the Year” award.
D.the “Best Woman Sailor” award.
32.Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years
A.while she was learning how to repair sails.
B.because she was ambitious for the coming race.
C.while she was trying to get financial support for a race.
D.because she was interested in country life.
33.The word “solo” in the title could be best replaced by
A.single-handed.
B.self-made.
C.one performer.
D.self-starter.
34.According to paragraph 4, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.She has to learn to repair sails.
B.She has to be her own teacher.
C.She has to be very fit.
D.She has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
35.How does Ellen feel about the Vendee Globe race?
A.It is enjoyable.
B.It is surprising.
C.It is dangerous.
D.It is relaxing.

第二篇 One-room Schools
One-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. For more than a hundred years, one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students 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-group teaching” and “multi-age grouping” for educational 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. A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead.
A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils. A few hours is happy 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.
36.We learn from the first paragraph that one-room schools
A.are the best in Nebraska.
B.are becoming more and more centralized.
C.have had a strong influence on American people.
D.need to be shut down.
37.One-room schools are in danger of disappearing because
A.there has been a trend towards centralization.
B.they cannot get top students.
C.they exist only in one state.
D.children have to teach themselves.
38.A major characteristic of the one-room school system is that
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
39.It can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents in Nebraska
A.don’t like centralized schools.
B.come from other states.
C.received education in one-room schools
D.prefer rural life.
40.What is the author’s attitude towards one-room schools?
A.Critical.
B.Humorous.
C.Angry.
D.Praising.

第三篇 Sharing Silence
Deaf teenagers Orlando Chavez and German Resendiz have been 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 born 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 that 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 for the 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 order food 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 for teenagers 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. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in New York.
41.Orlando and German have been
A.to Mexico together.
B.deaf since they were born.
C.to different high schools.
D.friends since they were very young.
42.According to the passage, the difficulty for Orlando and German is that
A.they can’t communicate with their classmates.
B.they are not allowed to talk on the phone.
C.they can’t order food in a drive-thru.
D.they are not supposed to use emergency services.
43.Both Orlando and German have found their jobs at
A.a fast-food restaurant.
B.a supermarket.
C.a technical institute.
D.a local school.
44.The word “emergency” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to
A.food.
B.alarm.
C.crisis.
D.quick.
45.Both boys are happy to
A.design programs for the deaf.
B.work at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
C.help students with learning disabilities.
D.have the opportunity to earn money.

A Country’s Standard of Living
The “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, ____ (51) first on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this ____ (52) is not money, for we 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 ____ (53) wealth depends upon many factors, most of ____ (54) have an effect on one another. Wealth depends ____ (55) a great extent upon a country’s natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile(肥沃的)soil and a favorable climate; other regions ____ (56) none of them.
Next to natural resources comes the ability to ____ (57) them to use. China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years ____ (58) civil and external wars, and for this and other ____ (59) was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and ____ (60) from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more ____ (61) than another country equally well favored by nature but less well ordered.
A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and ____ (62) within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. For example, Britain’s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural ____ (63) would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus(剩余的)manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products ____ (64) would otherwise be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, ____ (65) that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
51.A.calls B.gets C.depends D.takes
52.A.sense B.article C.side D.area
53.A.distribute B.produce C.contain D.buy

57.A.move B.force C.turn D.push
58.A.as B.on C.with D.from
59.A.reasons B.aspects C.points D.services
60.A.freedom B.liberation C.prevention D.government
61.A.wealth B.report C.effect D.result
