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.

Waste Not, Want Not
1　Bob and Clara Darlington, who own and run a farm in the North of England, have always looked for new ways of making money out of the produce they grow. Their success began when they established a shop on their farm, so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2　The business was an immediate success, and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country. The Association’s inspectors found the Darlingtons’ shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3　Clara Darlington is a trained chef and, in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local produce, she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen. A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added, with everything that visitors could taste on the menu also being for sale in the shop.
4　Clara admits that starting the business was expensive, and she has worked very hard, but maintains that if the product is good, the public recognize this and buy it. “I aim to offer the highest quality to our customers, whether they come in for a loaf of bread, or take a whole dinner-party menu. I take it as a compliment（恭维）if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with pretending they made it themselves. ”
5　So it was that the couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm which were unsuitable for selling in the shop. Clara, not wishing to see them get thrown away, decided to turn them into soup.
6　The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail, doing presentations of the soups. As a result, they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores.

23．Paragraph 2 ______
24．Paragraph 3 ______
25．Paragraph 4 ______
26．Paragraph 5 ______
A．Time well spent is rewarded
B．Professional recognition is obtained
C．A necessary alternative to farming
D．Professional skills are exploited
E．Continuing investment in high standards
F．Ensuring that nothing gets wasted


27．Bob and Clara Darlington established a shop to __________.
28．Apart from quality fruit and vegetables, the couple __________.
29．Instead of throwing the damaged vegetables away, the couple __________.
30．Clara spent much of the summer going to London to __________.

A．sell fresh vegetables
B．sell as much as possible
C．offer a variety of prepared meals

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 Immigration and Problems
Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens — not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures — including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries.
Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005, according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growth means that cities need to adapt. Newcomers don’t always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring（辅导）programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.
With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating（减少）, the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties（特赦）for illegals, and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back, the government has announced. About 23,000 migrants（移民）landed on the islands in 2006, and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.
France’s new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted “skills and talents” visas, valid for three years. But some people show the concern that it’ll cause brain drain in developing countries.
31．Many immigrants in the US took to the streets in early 2006, demanding that
A．John McCain be removed.
B．they be sent back home.
C．they be treated as citizens.
D．their culture be protected.
32．The expression “rounding up” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by
A．encircling.
B．separating.
C．arresting.
D．frightening.
33．Canada is not very strict with immigration applications because
A．it is a large country.
B．it is suffering from labor shortage.
C．its population is decreasing.
D．it is a multicultural country.
34．To solve the immigration problem, the Spanish Government has decided
A．to take tough measures against illegal immigration.
B．to let immigrants freely enter the country.
C．to integrate immigrants into the Spanish culture.
D．to help immigrants find proper jobs.
35．After France’s new immigration and integration law takes effect, it will
A．encourage overseas students to return home.
B．bring damage to the unity of the country.
C．arouse anger among French workers.
D．make it hard for developing countries to keep talents.

第二篇 The Iceman
On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I. since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might lie her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B.C．, he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman a- bout the times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.
36．The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because
A．two Germans were climbing the mountains.
B．the melted ice made him visible.
C．he was lying on the ice.
D．he was just on a mountain pass.
37．What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A．The Iceman was killed while working.
B．The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head.
C．The Iceman lived a poor life.
D．The Iceman was struck dead from behind.
39．All the following are assumptions once made about the Iceman EXCEPT
A．he was a soldier in World War I.
B．he was a Swiss woman’s long-lost father.
C．he was born about a thousand years ago.
D．he came from Italy.
39．The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman
A．was probably in some kind of a battle.
B．was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead.
C．had got a wound on the back of his head.
D．had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death.
40．The word “bandits” in paragraph 4 could he best replaced by
A．soldiers.
B．hunters.
C．shooters.
D．robbers.

第三篇 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”.
41．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.
42．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.
43．The word “solo” in the title could be best replaced by
A．single-handed.
B．self-made.
C．one performer.
D．self-starter.
44．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.
45．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.

Semco
At 21, Ricardo Semler became boss of his father’s business in Brazil. Semco, which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman, from 7-30 a.m., until midnight every day. One afternoon, while touring a factory in New York, he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said. “There’s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you’ll find a new home in our hospital. " Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the way his employees worked too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries.__________(46) "Everyone at Semco, even top managers, meets guests in reception, does the photocopying, sends faxes, types letters and dials the phone. ”
He completely reorganized the office: instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can’t shut themselves away from everyone else.__________ (47) As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.
Semler says, “We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn’t even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea, Rubin springs into action. __________(48) That’s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn’t look busy the rest of the time. ”
Semco has flexible working hours? The employees decide when they need to arrive at work. The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year.__________ (49)
It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years. Semco’s revenues have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000. Why?
Semler says it’s because of “peer pressure”. Peer pressure makes everyone work hard for everyone else.__________ (50) In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do.
A．Also, Semco lets its workers use the company’s machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.
B．Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.
C．This saved money and brought more equality to the company.
D．And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.
E．He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.
F．If someone isn’t doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.
