Thats how much trash is floating around in space. In fact, theres about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low-Earth orbi
22、t. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.Most space waste comes from dead satellites and rockets. Functioning satellites are the backbone of the information systems that keep our world running s
23、moothly. But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, theres the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit.”Maybe youre thinking, “Why should I care about garbage 12,500 miles above me?” Well, a
24、ll that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to usmobile games, Instagram, cat videoscould be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floating around up there, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high-speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another,
25、they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.Space waste is a problem thats escalated so much, some scientists say that by 2050
26、well be forced to stop launching new spacecraft altogether, including new satellites. Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.So we have to find a way to deal with this space garbage, and Daan pictures
27、 a sort of trash pickup, which involves groups of small spacecraft casting large nets into orbit that would collect space debris (碎片) and send it back toward Earth at top speed. Heres the best partwhile reentering Earths atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show
28、 similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab has been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. But Daan doesnt just talk about ways to relie

33、lection Nets【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了荷兰艺术家达恩和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队提出了一个创意计划，可以以壮观的方式清理太空垃圾。【4题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“When they die out, theres the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit.”可知，当它们被废弃时，它们就会在外太空漂流，被科学家们称为“墓地轨道”的地方会把它们收集起来，因此此处是
34、说所有的卫星最终都在短短几十年内被淘汰，由此可知画线词词义为“淘汰、使过时”，故D项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。本题实际上考的是太空垃圾的危害，根据第三段中的“And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronau
35、ts working on the International Space Station.”可知，当大块的太空垃圾相互碰撞时，它们会分裂成数百万块，很快加速并变成快速移动的物体，这对运行中的卫星以及在国际空间站工作的宇航员都是危险的，由此可知，太空垃圾会损坏工作中的卫星并使宇航员受伤，故A项正确。【6题详解】细节理解题。第一句话的意思是：大多数太空垃圾来自于废弃的卫星和火箭，运行正常的卫星是信息系统的骨干，这些系统使我们的世界保持平稳运行；第二句话的意思是：太空垃圾是一个日益严重的问题，一些科学家说，到2050年，我们将被迫完全停止发射新的航天器，包括新的卫星。；第三句话的意思是：因此，我们
36、必须找到一种方法来处理这些太空垃圾，达恩拍摄了一种垃圾收集装置，其中包括一组小型航天器将大网撒入轨道，收集太空垃圾并以最高速度将其送回地球；第四句话的意思是：但达恩不仅仅是在谈论如何解决问题，他创造了一个比这更伟大的东西。根据第二句话句意再结合其下一句所说的“当最后一颗卫星最终报废时，全球定位系统、手机和互联网将不再发挥作用”，这突出了处理太空垃圾的紧迫性，因此第二句话最能支持太空垃圾应该很快处理的观点，故B项正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have com
37、e up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.”可知，本文主要介绍了荷兰艺术家达恩和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队提出了一个创意计划，可以以壮观的方式清理太空垃圾，故B项最适合做文章标题。【点睛】本篇第1题词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词下文的理解是关键，根据画线词后的“When they die out, theres the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the
38、 “graveyard orbit.”可知，当它们被废弃时，它们就会在外太空漂流，被科学家们称为“墓地轨道”的地方会把它们收集起来，因此此处是说所有的卫星最终都在短短几十年内被淘汰，特别是“die out”表明画线词词义为“淘汰、使过时”，故D项正确。CSibling relationshipsPerhaps because most societies place so much emphasis on the parent-child relationship, there is a relative lack of information on the relationships amo
39、ng brothers and sisters. Yet sibling relationships can play important roles in our development as individuals and often bring just as much, if not more, joy, anger, pain, frustration, and pleasure. Relationships with brothers and sisters are also the longest that we will experience in our lives, sin
40、ce most siblings outlive parents and they begin earlier than those we establish with friends.Many parents still believe in the story that their children should naturally just get along, being loving, affectionate, and supportive of each other. However, the studies that do exist on siblings show that
41、 this natural harmony is much more fiction than fact. The earliest research on relationships among siblings developed the common theme that brothers and sisters relate to each other mainly in a rivalrous (竞争的) way, competing for parental attention and status within the family unit. It is true that y
42、oung siblings often fight with each other, putting the pressure on the entire family. In fact, family psychologists report that quarrels among siblings is one of the top concerns of their clients.Many studies agree that sibling rivalry is strongest between brothers - especially when they are close i
43、n age, and that the rivalry continues into adulthood with increasing conflicts, competition, and jealousy. This effect is most definite when the brothers have jobs of unequal status, for example if one is a Wall Street broker and the other a furniture salesman. One 1962 study even showed that male w
44、orkers were happiest with their jobs when they felt that they were doing better than their brothers and least satisfied when they felt their brothers were in a better job. Another study in 1975 concluded that siblings use each other to as measuring sticks to evaluate how well they are doing in life.
45、 As a result, when one sibling seems to have better performance in work, the relationship can become tense.Rivalry is the basis of the most sibling interaction problems. In a typical family, each sibling wants and will fight in various ways for the attention the others are receiving. Rivalry can bec
46、ome especially obvious when one of the children has a disability, because the parents will have to spend more time with the disabled child. Small children do not understand this, since they only consider another child as a threat, and will work harder to attract more parental attention. Unless the p
47、arents are careful to provide structure and limits, this usually results in the disabled child receiving too little attention, adding to the childs disadvantages later in life.Rivalry seems to occur least between brothers and sisters, while sisters often report becoming much closer as they grow into
48、 adulthood. However, these comparisons can be cheating. Some child behaviorists suggest that they are, in fact, false, and that people only have these impressions because boys competition is more visible. Boys tend to fight physically. But girls tend to fight verbally, with their words full of hatre
49、d and anger. If the siblings do not live together, the rivalry will decrease a lot. Recent research suggests that competition with siblings may not fade in fact, but that many people are unwilling to admit this, believing such emotions to be immature or unworthy.Childrens natural selfishness is a no
50、rmal part of all sibling relationships.Most is no cause for alarm. In fact, overreacting to such competition can do more harm than good, although ignoring it is not helpful, either. According to several studies, most parents then to react to conflict with passive behavior, for example, they do and s
51、ay nothing, or they simply tell the children to expressing and learning about their emotions and can actually prolong their rivalry into adulthood. A more effective way for parents is to model positive behavior in their adult relationships and to reward it in their children. They can make such state
52、ments as, “I am so proud of you two for working together on the project,” or “Seeing you share your toys with your sister makes me very happy.” Also, researchers suggest that parents sit down with their children and act as a mediator to settle the quarrels.8. One misunderstanding among parents is th
53、at_.A. children can naturally get along well with their brothers and sisters.B. children fight with each other when they are young.C. brothers and sisters compete for the status within the family unit.D. brothers and sisters struggle for parents attention.9. Research findings show that a man shows t

The disabled child in a family may get less attention from the parents because _.A. he is not health
55、y and capable.B. he annoys the parents by taking up too much of their time.C. other children of the family speak badly of him in front of the parents.D. other children of the family, out of jealousy, call the parents attention to themselves on purpose.11. Seeing conflicts among children, parents sho

A 9. C 10. D 11. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍有关兄弟姐妹之间关系的研究和对于父母在给予孩子关注方面的一些建议。【8题详解】细节理
57、解题。根据第二段“Many parents still believe in the story that their children should naturally just get along, being loving, affectionate, and supportive of each other. However, the studies that do exist on siblings show that this natural harmony is much more fiction than fact.（许多父母仍然相信他们的孩子应该自然地相处，互相关爱，亲密支持
58、。然而，确实存在的关于兄弟姐妹的研究表明，这种自然的和谐更多的是虚构的，而不是事实。）”可知，父母认为孩子们可以很自然地与他们的兄弟姐妹和睦相处，是一种误解。故选A项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“One 1962 study even showed that male workers were happiest with their jobs when they felt that they were doing better than their brothers and least satisfied when they felt their brothers were in a
59、better job.（1962年的一项研究甚至显示，当男性员工觉得自己的工作比自己的兄弟做得更好时，他们对自己的工作最满意，而当他们的兄弟做得“更好”时，他们就会感到最不满意。）”可知，研究结果表明，当一个人的兄弟从事地位较低的工作时，他对自己工作的满意度最高。故选C项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Small children do not understand this, since they only consider another child as a threat, and will work harder to attract more parental attenti
60、on. Unless the parents are careful to provide structure and limits, this usually results in the disabled child receiving too little attention, adding to the childs disadvantages later in life.（小孩子不明白这一点，因为他们只会把另一个孩子当成威胁，并且会更努力地吸引父母的注意。除非父母谨慎地提供结构和限制，否则这通常会导致残疾儿童得到的关注太少，增加了孩子以后生活的不利因素。）”可知，家里的其他孩子出于嫉
61、妒，故意引起父母对自己的注意，这导致家庭中的残疾儿童可能得到父母很少的关注。故选D项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“A more effective way for parents is to model positive behavior in their adult relationships and to reward it in their children. They can make such statements as, “I am so proud of you two for working together on the project,” or “Seeing
62、you share your toys with your sister makes me very happy.” Also, researchers suggest that parents sit down with their children and act as a mediator to settle the quarrels.（对父母来说，更有效的方法是在他们的成人关系中树立积极的行为榜样，并奖励孩子们的积极行为。他们可以这样说:“你们俩能一起做这个项目，我真为你们感到骄傲。”或者“看到你和妹妹分享玩具，我很高兴。”此外，研究人员建议，父母应该和孩子坐下来，扮演调停者的角色，解
63、决争吵。）”可知，看到孩子之间起冲突，父母应该看到孩子的闪光点并且调解冲突。故选B项。DWhen Peter Fortune was ten years old, grown-up people used to tell him he was a “difficult” child. He never understood what they meant. He didnt feel difficult at all. He didnt throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and
64、pretend it was blood, or slash at his grannys ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasnt noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew.His name was ea
65、sy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to ar
66、rest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because h
67、e was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. _ Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.Now, grown-ups like to th
68、ink they know whats going on inside a ten-year-olds head. And its impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summers afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” th
69、ey would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.” Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldnt hear it or see it or feel it. They couldnt tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. _ He
70、could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.As for being on his own, grown-ups didnt much like that either.
71、 They dont even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what youre up to. Youre up to what theyre up to. _ Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remember
72、ing who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen.The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesnt say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who dont know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. _ Or, if not
73、 stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.12. Which of the following would Pete
74、r be most likely to do?A. To sleep in the tent with his friends.B. To break the neighbors fence for fun.C. To tie a dirty dustbin to a dogs tail.D. To walk around a lake for quite a while.13. Where can the sentence “You have to join in, or youll spoil it for everyone else.” most probably be put?A. B
75、. C. D. 14. What is the main reason that Peter was considered “difficult” by grown-ups?A. He was far from communicative.B. He turned a deaf ear to others.C. He did not do well in his studies.D. He preferred to live on his own.15. What might the author continue to write about in the following part?A.
76、 Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.B. How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.C. Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well.D. Effective measures to help Peter out.【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了空想家Peter的不同寻常之处及其日常所做所想，及和人们之间互相的不解。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第文章三段“They t
77、hought he was difficult because he was so silent. (他们认为他很难相处，因为他太沉默了。)”和“The other problem was he liked being by himself.(另一个问题是他喜欢独处。)”可知，Peter是个沉默，喜欢一个人独处的男孩。所以推断D项“在湖边走很长时间。”符合他的性格。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第文章五段“When you join in, people can see what youre up to. Youre up to what theyre up to. (当你加入时，人们
78、可以看到你在做什么。他们在做什么，你就在做什么。)”与“You have to join in, or youll spoil it for everyone else. (你必须参加，否则你会破坏大家的兴致。)”上下文衔接，都是陈述成年人都不喜欢独自生活的人。所以该句应该放在处。故选C。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he wa
79、s so silent. That seemed to bother people.（直到自己长大了，彼得才终于明白了。他们认为他很难相处，是因为他太沉默了。那似乎让人感到困扰）可知，人们认为他难以相处的原因是他太沉默，不善交流。故选A。【15题详解】推理判断题。上文讲述的是Peter的日常所做及人们对他的不理解，根据最后一段“A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an
80、answer. But the truth was quite different.”（如果老师看到彼得盯着窗外或桌子上的一张空白纸，可能会认为他是无聊了，或者是没有答案。但事实却完全不同）可知下文应该接着写他的一些奇怪想法给别人带来的惊奇。故选B。第二节(共5题；每小题2分，满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Building a Lasting Social RelationshipWe all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, an
81、d who share their lives with us in return. _16_According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use “we-talk”.Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different st
82、udies involving over 5,000 participants. _17_The word “we” moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “_18_ Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them,” Robbins told Science Daily._19_ The primary point is
83、that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner especially important in times of stress and disagreement.Contrary to “we-talk”, there is “I-talk”, which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such
84、as “I”, “me” and “mine”, when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researcher analyzed a set of data that came from 47,000 people in Germany and the US. _20_ As you can see from the two studies, too much “I-talk” can make you feel depressed. But “we-talk” can encourage you to become more positive
85、 and create a chain effect of healthy interdependence with others.So next time you are talking to a friend, try using more “we-talk”. You may find yourself feeling more positive and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.A. Pronouns offer an insight into whether people see t
86、hemselves as individuals or as part of a whole.B. If you are speaking in a person context, youre speaking about something thats of relevance to you.C. Their research also found that “we-talk” is helpful for resolving conflicts.D. Self-centered people are found to be indifferent to many things in soc
87、iety and other people because all their concentration is only on themselves and their needs.E. This analysis of “we-talk” suggested that the frequent use of “we” and “us” is linked to happier and healthier relationships.F. They found that too much “I-talk” was an accurate linguistic marker for the l
88、ikelihood that someone is feeling stressed or experiencing negative emotions.G. But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. C 20.
