【題目】Surface Exploration. Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas. Aside from earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient(不足的) for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand（禁得起）．Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.

Data Collection. Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at a time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，and finding water are all performed much quicker and more accurately (精確地) by robots.

Cost Effective. The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.

Space Travel. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are the Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.

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

A．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.

B．It may be dangerous for humans to explore the solar system except the earth.

C．Both the Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water in the Mars.

D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.

【2】Which column could the passage come from?

A．Education. B．Finance.

C．Travel. D．Science.

【3】The underlined word “withstand” most probably means“________”．

A．a(chǎn)rise B．bear C．defeat D．diverse

【4】What is the writer's attitude in this passage?

A．Negative. B．Persuasive.

C．Subjective. D．Objective.

【5】While sending an astronaut into the space，we should consider the following EXCEPT ________．

A．the radiation B．the oxygen C．the diet D．the alien

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】D

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇科普類(lèi)文章。講述的是太空探索需要注意的事項(xiàng)。并告訴人們人類(lèi)去探索是不安全的，機(jī)器人去探索比人所花的費(fèi)用少。

【1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.在太空探索上，機(jī)器人使用的花費(fèi)要比人做這種工作所需費(fèi)用少得多。故選A。

【2】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句Surface Exploration. Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas.表面探索。機(jī)器人對(duì)行星，月球和其他陸地表面進(jìn)行探索。從這里可知這篇文章談的不是教育、財(cái)政和旅行，而是科學(xué)，故選D。

【3】B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段中的The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand（禁得起）．在這些表面的溫度不是太熱就是太冷，因而人承受不住。從這里可知withstand的意思是“承受，經(jīng)得住”，故選B。

【4】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句Aside from earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.從這里可知人類(lèi)去探索是不安全的，故選D。

【5】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.穿一套太空服和氧氣裝備是必要的； there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity. 將有紫外線(xiàn)、天氣和缺乏重力的復(fù)雜情況；but also enough food and water to keep them alive而且要有足夠的食物和水保持活著。從這里可知當(dāng)把一名宇航員送到太空的時(shí)候，要考慮oxygen、radiation和food，而不是考慮alien外星人，故選D。

【題目】When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 懸崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知覺(jué)的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.

It was ,as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇跡)”.

【1】The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was

A. rescuing her owner B. caught in a hurricane

C. blocked by a rock D. running after a sheep

【2】Who spotted Judy after the accident?

A. A birdwatcher

B. A student from Leeds

C. Six volunteers

D. The coastguard of Cornwall

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A. People like to travel with their pets.

B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.

C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.

D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Miracle of the Coastguard.

B. Surviving a Hurricane.

C. Dangers in the Wild

D. Coming Back from the Dead.

【題目】D

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (強(qiáng)大的) forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to_______________And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet（子彈） — and stopped him cold.”

Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

【1】【1】Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A. He faced huge risks.

B. He lacked mighty forces.

C. Fear prevented him from trying.

D. Failure blocked his way to success.

【2】【2】What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A. Swallow more than you can digest.

B. Act slightly above your abilities.

C. Develop more mysterious powers.

D. Learn to make creative decisions.

【3】【3】What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?

A. His physical strength.

B. His basic skill.

C. His real fear.

D. His spiritual force.

【4】【4】What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.

B. Trying without success is meaningless.

C. Repeated failure creates a better life.

D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

【5】【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage people to be courageous.

B. To advise people to build up physical power.

C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.

D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.

Hello, Peter. I’m very grateful for your concern about my coming exam. To tell you truth, I have been busy prepare for the exam recently. Some classmates are feeling real stressed due to the exam, but I don’t take them so serious. I always learn in a relaxed mood and I’m making a great progress. Now that I had tried my best, it doesn’t matter much to me what the result is.

In my opinion, we should keep a good balance among our study, rest or exercise. I believe we can be succeeded if we prepare for the exam in a proper way.

I’d appreciate it if you could give me some good advices.
