"China is expected to complete its first exploration of the moon in 2010 and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles.” Ouyang Ziyuan, head of China’s moon exploration program, promised during the country's national science and technology week.

After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.

The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.

But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.

Space flight is a gamble and the stakes（賭注）are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.

Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.

Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.

A. China has founded her base on the moon

B. China has founded one base on the North and South Poles

C. China will set up a base on the moon in 2010

D. China has already finished founding a moon base

Can you imagine being savagely attacked by a dog? What if the attack was so severe that your nose, lips and chin were completely destroyed? How would you feel about yourself? Would you be able to look at yourself in the mirror? And how do you think other people would treat you?

    Isabelle Dinoire is someone who can answer all of these questions honestly and openly.

Last November Isabelle was attacked and mauled by her own dog. The attack was so severe that her lower face was damaged; it seemed, almost beyond repair. She was rushed to hospital and became the first person ever to have a face transplant.

With such severe injuries doctors offered Isabelle little hope that they would be able to repair the damage to her face using conventional surgery.

Shortly after being admitted, she came to the attention of Dr Bernard Devauchelle who, unlike other surgeons, believed there was an alternative: "We found ourselves saying, yes, it's clear this woman needs a transplant," he said.

Two days after the operation she saw her face in the mirror for the first time. She said "I was scared to look at myself, but when I did it was already marvelous and I couldn't believe it. I thought it would be blue and swollen but it was already beautiful."

Now, less than a year after her 15 hour operation, she’s trying to rebuild her life and there is no doubt how she feels about her new face: "I have been saved. Lots of people write saying that I need to go on, that it's wonderful. It's a miracle somehow."

    Although there were ethical questions raised about their decision to carry out the procedure, the doctors who operated on Isabelle are quick to defend their decision.

One of them said "Was it possible for her to live without a face? It's easy to say we shouldn't have done the operation, but her life has changed, she goes shopping, goes on holiday, she lives again."

What would be the best title of the passage?

A. The first face transplant                   B. A successful face operation

C. The most severe damaged face             D. The breakthrough of surgery

The writer uses the five questions at the beginning of the passage to ___________________.

A. tell the story about Isabelle Dinoire           B. show a severe face damage event

C. draw the readers’ attention to the topic         D. invite the readers to answer them

It can be concluded from Isabelle Dinoire’s remarks that___________________.

A. she was too shocked to see herself in the mirror

B. she was satisfied with the result of the operation

C. she thought her damaged face couldn’t be repaired

D.she looked more beautiful than before

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. It seemed that it was impossible to recover Isabelle’s face using face transplant

B. After operation Isabelle thought she looked beautiful and rebuilt her life again

C. Some doctors had no better idea to repair the damage to Isabelle’s face

D. It was Dr Bernard Devauchelle who came up with the idea of face transplant

"Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "what was your favourite fast food when you were growing up?"

"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．" "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called 'at home'．" I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．"

Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card．

My parents have never driven me to soccer practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed．We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie"．When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered（粘貼）itself against my chin and burned that, too．It's still the best pizza I ever had．

I delivered newspapers, six days a week ．The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents．I had to get up at 4:00 a．m．every morning．On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change．

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年江蘇省鹽城市高三摸底考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

The U.S. government has repeatedly made it clear that it would welcome China’s entrance into the world arena as a power. However, a series of issues since the beginning of this year, particularly Washington's stance on the U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and the South China Sea issue, have made the world think: Is the United States ready to recognize China as a power on the world stage?

       It is easier said than done for the United States to adapt itself to China's development. Lip service is far from enough to boost the development of Sino-U.S. relations. If Washington cannot find a way to recognize and accept China's peaceful rise onto the world stage, bilateral（雙邊的） ties will be like a roller coaster full of ups and downs. However, no one would like to see the negative effects rocky relations would bring to China, the United States and possibly to the world as a whole.

       U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to play a greater role in solving the world's economic, environmental and political problems. She said global issues could not be solved by the United States or China alone, but without participation of the two countries, no problems would likely be solved. Washington has realized that the United States' global interest can be maintained only through changing the way it deals with China.

       The Obama administration released positive signals in its relations with China, which have been interpreted as the United States showing its intention to change the traditional strategy of engagement and containment（遏制）. As a matter of fact, the general direction of Sino-U.S. relations provides a foundation on which the United States can base its foreign policies and is more complicated than an adjustment in real conditions. Issues such as arms sales to Taiwan, Google censorship, RMB exchange rates as well as finger-pointing about economic responsibility show Washington still seems confused and inpatient about relations with China.

       The relationship between China and the United States is the most important and complicated bilateral relationship in the world this century. The development of Sino-U.S. relations will affect world peace and stability, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Ian Bremmer, an American political scientist specializing in U.S. foreign policy, said, "America and China will have more than ever to gain from closer political and commercial ties, and must take steps to avoid a Cold War, or worse."

       In that circumstance, the United States needs both wisdom and determination to recognize and accept China, a country that is totally different from its own, as a power on the world stage.

1.The underlined word stance in the first paragraph probably means       .

       A．information         B．opinion               C．ignorance            D．criticism

2.Why does the US have to change the way it deals with China?

       A．The US welcomes Chin’s entrance into the world arena.

       B．The US hopes that China will get more powerful.

       C．Only in this way can China meet all of its demands.

       D．Only in this way can its global interest be maintained.

3.Ian Bremmer thinks both America and China will benefit more from       .

       A．a(chǎn) cold war.          B．keeping patient    C．better cooperation                         D．developing economy

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

       A．Is it Clear that China has become world power?

       B．Is US ready to recognize China as world power?

       C．Is US still the most powerful country in the world?

       D．Is Sino-U.S. relationship the most important and complicated in the world.
