18.My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class.I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece of news caught my eye:NASA (美國宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探測器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity.
I couldn't wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached."Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind…"
Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31pm,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She would tell me stories and point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there,yet there was so much I didn't know about them.That's what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple because we're curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon.

66.How did the author get the news about the essay contest?(within 7words)
By reading a TIME for Kids magazine./From a TIME for Kids magazine.
67.In which year was the author born according to the passage?(within 2words)
In 2000.
68.Why did author have a front-row seat in NASA?(within 10words)
Because she won the essay contest held by NASA./Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity".
69.What does the author remember about the time spent with Grandma?(within 15words)
She sat together with grandma listening to her stories about stars./Her grandma told her stories about stars./They sat together talking about stars.
70.What does the underlined phrase"hole up"in the last paragraph probably mean?(1word)
stay/remain/live.

分析 本文講述了作者在十一歲時參加美國國家航空航天局NASA的作文比賽并獲得以NASA的前排座位作為獎勵的經歷.
作者在十一歲時偶然看到《時代》兒童刊物中NASA刊登的征文廣告時激動不已,一個主題沖擊著作者的大腦--好奇.因此他以"好奇心"為主題寫了一篇文章給NASA,并且獲得獎勵--在NASA的前排座位觀看以自己的文章命名的火星探測器"好奇心"順利在火星降落.作者認為宇宙如此浩淼,人類不可能禁錮在一個小星球里,人類帶著好奇心不斷地探索宇宙的奧秘.

解答 66.By reading a TIME for Kids magazine./From a TIME for Kids magazine.
67.In 2000.
68.Because she won the essay contest held by NASA./Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity".
69.She sat together with grandma listening to her stories about stars./Her grandma told her stories about stars./They sat together talking about stars.
70.stay/remain/live
66.By reading a Time for Kids magazine Or:From a Time for kids magazine 細節(jié)題. 通過第一段的閱讀,可知作者是在《時代》雜志的兒童刊上發(fā)現(xiàn)了征文比賽的廣告的.
67 In 2000.細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第一 段 a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity.他11歲,第三段Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face.五個月后母親收到一個電話,和第四段On August 5,2012,at 10:31pm,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,2012年衛(wèi)星接觸到火星地面,可知作者出生在2000年.
68.Because she won the essay contest held by NASA.Or:Because she named the Mars rover"Curiosity"Or:"Curiosity"was chosen as the name of the Mars rover 細節(jié)題. 通過三四段的閱讀,媽媽的開心的樣子以及我獲得了獎勵可知"我"投稿后是獲獎了,因此答案是因為作者參加NASA舉辦的作文比賽獲獎了.She won the essay contest held by NASA.(答案不唯一)
69 She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about the stars.Or:Her grandma told her stories about the stars.Or:They sat together talking about the stars.細節(jié)題. 由第四段句子可以得知答案:I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She'd tell me stories and point out the stars.答案可以歸納為:Her grandma told her stories about the stars.
70 Stay/Remain/Live 猜測詞義題.根據(jù)文章最后一段We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon.由后面的句子可知是轉折,后面句子表達"不斷地探索宇宙新的領域",可知作者的態(tài)度是,我們不會局限居住在一個地方,推知hole up的同義詞為Stay/Remain/Live/Hide.

點評 做閱讀表達題時,理清文章的脈絡、掌握文章的主旨大意,并能運用簡潔的語言表達.回答要有針對性觀點要明確.不要摘抄文章原句.

3.Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.Shopping when not hungry,sticking to a grocery list,and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.
Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal.If that's not possible,they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.Most shoppers are less tempted to buy extras when they are not bothered by hunger.
Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money,shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save.A carefully planned list should include in-season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons.Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers,so buying the"grocery issue"is worth the investment.However,it's important to remember that many newer,more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list,it's time to go to the store.However,no preparations are complete without a pocket calculator or piece of paper and pencil to figure costs.
Once at the store,the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules.The shopper should not stay longer than necessary,because bills go up each minute the shopper is       .So,setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill.Of course,the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist impulses to buy additional items.If the grocery list is a short one,some shoppers resist impulse buying by using the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

76.What is the best title of the passage?(within 10words)
Tips on how to cut down the grocery bill
77.Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases.(no more than 5words)
in the store
78.According to the writer,which is the most important factor  in saving money?( no more than 10words)
having a list and stick to it.
79.Give one of the suggestions you have on avoiding buying additional items.( no more than 10words)
various answers are ok.
80.What does the word"it"in paragraph 3refer to?(no more than 3words)
the list.
