10、项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AFranklin Chang-Diaz was born in Costa Rica in 1950. His family moved to Venezuela soon after, where he had an experience that changed his life forever. When Franklin was 6 years old, he learned that Russia had launched the first satellite, Sputnik 1. The idea of space travel made the
11、boy excited. Franklin climbed into a tree and watched the sky until the next morning, dreaming of what it would be like to fly among the stars. After that night, Franklin put his whole heart into one goal: becoming an astronaut. He wrote to rocket scientist Werner won Braun and asked him for advice.
12、 The scientist wrote back suggesting that Franklin study math and science in the United States. Even though studying in the United States seemed like an impossible dream, Franklin had decided he would do whatever it took to travel into space. After graduating from high school in Costa Rica, Franklin
13、 worked hard to save money so that he could go to the United States to realize his dream. With only $50 in his pocket, Franklin moved to Connecticut. Even though he did not speak English and he had already graduated from high school, he entered high school in Connecticut. By the end of the school ye
14、ar, he had earned prize money set for students to help finish college education to the University of Connecticut. His education had only just begun. Eight years later, Franklin Chang-Diaz earned his ph. D. in physics. Chang-Diaz began realizing his dream of space travel in 1981. The National Aeronau
15、tics and Space Administration (NASA) had 19 astronaut jobs to offer. Thousands of scientists applied for the jobs, and Chang-Diaz was one of the few chosen. After 5 years of training, he rocketed into space aboard the space shuttle Columbia, from which he studied Halleys comet and made several scien
16、tific experiments. Chang-Diaz dreams about the day when people will be able to travel long distances to other planets and stars. And Chang-Diaz doesnt stop there. He researches the connection between the rain forest and space. Whats the next for this fearless explorer? The skys limit! 21.Which of th
17、e following words can best describe Franklin Chang-Diaz? A. Determined. B. Proud. C. Clever. D. Warm-hearted. 22. What is the 4th paragraph mainly about? A. How Franklin Chang-Diaz succeed applying for the job as an astronaut. B. How Franklin Chang-Diaz realized his dream of space travel. C. How Fra
18、nklin Chang-Diaz studied Halleys comet. D. How Franklin Chang-Diaz trained for space travel. 23.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Franklin Chang-Diaz spoke good English before moving to the USA. B. Franklin Chang-Diaz finished high school in Venezuela. C. Frankli
19、n Chang-Diaz studies the connection between Halleys comet and space. D. Franklin Chang-Diaz got his high school education twice. BDogs and other hairy mammals shake at just the right frequencies to get rid of water most quickly from their bodies and directly on to any unlucky humans nearby. Mice do
20、it. So do tigers and pandas. These animals really know how to shake. Frequency is the number of cycles movements back and forth per second. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta recently recorded videos of 40 different animals, standing for 15 different species. The scientist
21、s wanted to see how wet, hairy mammals shake off water after they get wet. The scientists say the animals shake at just the right frequencies to lose water drops as quickly as possible. “I think its pretty amazing that they can do that,” David Hu, one of the scientists, said. This study was led by A
22、ndrew Dickerson, a graduate student in Hus lab. His team calls this get-dry shake “natures analogy(类似) to the spin cycle of a washing machine”. Both the washing machine and shaking animals can get rid of water quickly but animals are much faster than washing machines. For animals, this process helps
23、 them control heat in their bodies.“If a dog couldnt dry itself, it would have to use 25 percent of its daily calories to heat its body to get rid of the water,” Hu said. “Every time they got wet they would get hypothermia and die.” The bigger the animal, the slower it shakes, according to Dickerson
24、 and his team. A mouse moves its body back and forth 27 times per second, but a bear shakes only four times per second. Animals skin also helps them get rid of water. The scientists are continuing to look at how animals interact with water in the natural world. In particular, the scientists want to
25、know how water interacts with hair which means studying animals that have got used to life in the water, like beavers and otters. 24.Which of the following animals is not likely to be studied in the experiments? A. A panda. B. A tiger.C. A cat. D. A snake.25.What can we learn from the passage? A. Pr
26、ofessor David Hu led the study. B. A dog shakes off water at a higher speed than a washing machine. C. Animals shake off water to keep themselves cool. D. A dog shakes off water faster than a mouse.26.How did David Hu feel about the video? A. Surprised. B. Encouraged. C. Excited. D. Amused. 27.Which
27、 of the following does hypothermia probably refer to? A. a disease caused by hunger B. a disease caused by getting too hot.C. a disease caused by getting too cold. D. a disease caused by shaking too fast. CAfternoon tea became popular about 150 years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to th
28、eir houses for an afternoon cup of tea. Usually taken in the late afternoon, it is also called “low tea” as it is served at a low table. Since this isnt a meal, but rather like a late afternoon snack, finger foods such as sandwiches, scones and pastries are common. People are not merely taking tea t
29、o get nutrition or satisfy hunger, but to take time to relax, chat and enjoy the company of dear friends. In England, the traditional time for tea is four or five oclock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven oclock. This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840 by Duch
30、ess Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford, England. During the long time between an early breakfast and very late dinner, she experienced what she called “a sinking feeling” at about 4 or 5 in the afternoon. So she asked her maid to bring her a pot of tea, a little bread and butter and cake in
31、 her room. She found this arrangement so pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her. High tea, a term often mixed with afternoon tea, usually takes the place of supper. In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had meals about noon and after work between
32、 five and seven oclock. The table would be set with dinner foods like meat, bread, butter, potatoes, cheese and of course tea. It was called “high tea” because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table. How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment? As a famous writer named
33、 Henry James said, “There are few hours in life greater than the hour dedicated to(献给) the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” 28.Who started the tradition of high tea according to the passage? A. Duchess Anna Maria B. the 7th Duke of Bedford C. Henry James D. Some unknown working people 29.What does
34、the underlined phrase a sinking feeling probably refer to?A. a feeling of being bored B. a feeling of hungerC. a feeling of missing friends D. a feeling of shyness 30.Why does the writer mention Henry James words? A. To tell us how the name “afternoon tea” came.B. To tell us that afternoon is in fac
35、t a ceremony. C. To show how popular afternoon tea is. D. To show the difference between afternoon tea and high tea. 31.Which of the following statements about high tea is true according to the passage? A. High tea got its name because it was eaten at a high dining table. B. Finger foods such as san
36、dwiches and scones are common for high tea. C. High tea is served between breakfast and lunchtime.D. High tea has taken the place of low tea as afternoon tea. DThey were only very short moments in time. A kiss on a station a kind scolding from the local police officer. But the very short moment of t
37、ime it took to snap these everyday pictures would allow them to last for the next 30 years. None of the people in the pictures realized they were being photographed. Had it not been for the curiosity of photographer Chris Porsz, they might have remained unknown to the public for ever. Last year, 55-
38、year-old Chris became interested in digging out the story behind the pictures he had taken in Peterborough in the early 1980s. With the help of the local newspaper, he set about trying to find the people in the pictures. Now, he has a new set of pictures of some of the same people recur the moment c
39、aptured all those years ago. The picture of the young man and woman on platform five in 1982 at Peterborough station was taken when the couple Tony and Sally Wilmot were working in different parts of the country before they got married. Not much has changed at the station, except for the trains. Pul
40、l-down windows are history, so farewell(告别) kisses can only be performed through an open door. “We often didnt see each other for three or four weeks, so it was an important parting,” says Sally. “Its hard for our children to understand because nowadays everyone has mobile phones.” Tim Woodman was a
41、 12-year-old when Chris caught the picture of him being given a good talking-to by a policeman. Tim says: Im not sure what the policeman was saying, but I imagine he may have been telling me not to cycle on the path.” Nor does the officer remember what happened that day. He retired last year. “I sho
42、wed the photo to my son, who has completed his first year in the Met Police,” he says. “It was lovely for him to see me at the same age and a great memento(纪念品) of my police career.” 32.What does the underlined word “snap” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. improve B. draw C. develop D. catch
43、33.Where did the farewell kisses happen 30 years ago? A. In a pull-down window of a train. B. On a path near a train station . C. In an open door of a train. D. Near the Met Police Station. 34.

44、 the boy knew they were being photographed. B. The officer guesses that he was probably telling the boy not to cycle on the path. C. Both the officer and the boy have no idea what the officer said in the picture. D. The officer was about to retire when the picture was taken. 35.Which of the followin
45、g might be the best title of the passage? A. Chris Porsz, a Great Photographer. B. Yesterday Once More. C. the Talk-to that Still Rings D.
