The Washington post – NASA’s newest space habitat looks sort of like a kids’ moon bonce, a big, bright, inflatable globe that could be lots of fun to play in. Soon astronauts on the International Space Station could get the chance to try . The expandable habitat made by Bigelow Aerospace recently passed NASA’s strict certification requirements and is scheduled to be flown to the station in September.

Called the BEAM ( Bigelow Expandable Activity Module), the habitat would be attached to the space station, where it would stay for two years. While there, it would be tested to see how it handles the rigors of space – the radiation, the station’s movement and even how it stands up to the debris (碎片) flying around in orbit.

The private Las Vegas company, founded by millionaire real estate mogul(地產(chǎn)大亨) Robert Bigelow, won a $17.8 million contract from NASA to provide the module to the space station.

“Today is the first step, but it’s a big step,” said Bigelow’s George Zamka. Replace the space station or make it larger. It also hopes to build the habitats on the moon. Its B330 module would be even bigger, with 330 cubic meters of internal (內(nèi)部的 ) space. The modules could be connected. Creating research facilities, the company says, or even space hotels.

In an interview ,NASA’s William Gerstenmaier, said he was eager to see how the module performs , and said he was especially pleased “ to see how the private sector can step up and help us meet our requirements.” The module will be flown to the space station by SpaceX, the first commercial company to resupply the space station.

1.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. NASA’s space habitats flown to the station.

B. NASA’s space habitat it the station.

C. NASA’s new expandable space habitat.

D. NASA’s newest inflatable globe.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. NASA’s newest space habitat is a kids’ moon bounce.

B. Astronauts of Bigelow Aerospace could get the chance to try the space habitat.

C. NASA was founded by Robert Bigelow.

D. The B330 module to be built on the moon would be with an inside space of 330 cubic meters.

3.The underlined word “rigors” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_________”.

A. difficulties B. environments

C. movements D. changes

4.The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A. a newspaper B. a booklet

C. a magazine D. a science fiction

Wrong Reasons for Going to College

A college education can be priceless. _____1.____ If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.

Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college. Or maybe, you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. ___2._____. It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.

◆Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.

科目:高中英語 來源:2014-2015學(xué)年江蘇如皋中學(xué)高二上學(xué)期10月階段練習(xí)英語試卷(解析版) 題型:填空題

Write ONE WORD for each blank on the Answer Sheet.

Science and engineering have varied meanings and different ways in which they can be understood, though the differences are not easy to tell.

First is science. This is nothing but the use of reasoning to know how things work and what causes the happenings.

Engineering is about the way some tools, machines, systems etc are made with the help of human resources, raw materials and some scientific techniques. Science is important for engineering. Engineering can’t be done without knowing the basic principles of the working of the device that one wants to make. For example, if one wants to make a fan and they do not know how a fan works, then it is practically impossible for them to do so. Thus knowing how the fan works is science and making a fan is engineering.

Then comes the most important factor, the technology. Technology is always evolving with the help of the existing science and engineering techniques. It has to satisfy the usage of it by the consumers and safety of the people. For example, science will tell people the rules or the working of the equipment, engineering techniques will tell them how the equipment is made and the technology will consider both the above factors to create the same equipment but in a different way or using a different technique with some alterations(改變) giving birth to newfound technology. Thus again, science and engineering are important for technology to take place and the people who undertake the activities of science and technology are considered technologists.

All these three above discussed factors are important when one undertakes some kind of research work.

Some people think that technology is nothing but the way science is applied. If they make good investment in the field of science, then they would gain a lot from new technology. Thus, people start investing in many new ventures(項(xiàng)目)。

So we can see clear differences between science, technology and engineering. New technology is the best way to take a country to a higher economic position and to the path of fast growth. Technology requires the use of science and engineering as this is the best way to start and put the use of them into practice.

There is nowadays in schools a great movement that places major emphasis on higher order skills, these being those skills that encourage the ability to reason. This group of skills involves recalling information, basic concept formation, critical thinking, and creative idea formation. Formerly viewed as the tools of mathematics, these skills are now recognized as necessary to abilities across the curriculum.

Higher order thinking skills are now recognized as important for those who will enter the twenty-first century work force. Preparing young learners for their future requires that teachers employ a great deal of inventiveness and creativity in designing lessons that meet the dual challenge of providing the basics as in reading, language arts, and mathematics, and developing the ability to reason.

This unit uses detective fiction to address both of these challenges, and the activities that lie here are designed to draw the learner along a path that moves him from the simple skills, such as recalling information, to the more difficult area of creative thinking. Activities may be modified, simplified, lengthened, or deleted to meet the needs of the intellectual diversity found in most classrooms.

For this unit I have chosen three separate series of children’s detective fiction. The easiest to read are the Private Eyes club mysteries, written and illustrated by Crosby Bonsall. This series centers on the activities of four neighborhood boys who along with their cat Mildred keep the area they live in free of crime. Each title is centered on one issue and the list of titles is expanding. The reading levels range from about 1.6 to 2.0 and the print is large and well organized on the page. Snitch, Wizard, Skinny, and Tubby are funny and engaging, and are represented in lively color illustrations. The only issue that could be a problem is that the private eyes are all boys. However, girls are well represented among the peripheral (次要的) peer group.

1.What can we know from the above passage?

A. Children have different abilities.

B. Reading for information needs more skills.

C. Reasoning is higher than reading and writing in school.

D. Mathematics is the most difficult in school.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A. Basic reading skills.

B. Ways of thinking.

C. Who wrote the detective fiction.

D. How much to pay for the course.

3.What is the chosen series of fiction mainly about?

A. How some brave boys find their cats.

B. How some brave children help find the lost cat.

C. How people help the boys solve the crime.

D. How some brave boys fight against crime.

4.What will mostly likely be presented after this passage?

A. The Private Eyes club mysteries.

B. Other ways to interest the readers.

C. How girls can keep on reading the stories.

D. Where to buy these interesting stories.
