A home science experiment recently took the world by storm. Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above Earth and captured their tiny astronaut’s trip on film.  
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic Lego model 16 miles above Earth. This is inside a part of Earth’s atmosphere.
The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into space.
Travelling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down. They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man’s parachute(降落伞) by hand. In total, the project cost only $400.
“We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up,” Mathew told reporters. They had to pump extra helium(氦) into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds.
The toy astronaut’s journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed 76 miles away from the launch site.
The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for colleges. They are also looking into more do-it-yourself space projects.
“I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore,” Mathew told reporters. “We never knew we’d get this far. It’s been a lesson for us that hard work pays off.”
24. By saying “took the world by storm” in the first paragraph, what did the author mean?
A. The experiment destroyed the world.
B. The experiment flooded the world.
C. The experiment fascinated the world.
D. The experiment managed the world.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的第二句“Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above Earth and captured their tiny astronaut’s trip on film.”可知,两个青少年把一个玩具乐高人送入了太空,并把过程拍了下来,因此作者想要表达的是这个试验吸引了世人的目光。
答案:C
25. Which of the following about the students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is right?
A. They were examples to Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.
B. They helped Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad to achieve their dream.
C. They launched the weather balloon together with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.
D. They studied with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad in the same school.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT).”可知,应选A。
答案:A
26. How did Mathew and Asad keep their costs down?
A. By sewing the weather balloon themselves.
B. By borrowing spacecraft from the MIT students.
C. By making their spacecraft by hand.
D. By using second-hand equipment.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man’s parachute by hand.”可知,他们使用二手的设备来节省费用。
答案:D
27. What problems did Mathew and Asad have on launch day?
A. They ran out of helium.
B. The wind was too strong.
C. The balloon suddenly broke.
D. Their spacecraft was blown away.

答案:B
C
Despite what so many people would love to believe, NASA hasn’t discovered any evidence of past or present intelligent life on Mars. Therefore, when the Curiosity rover(好奇号探测器) found something suspicious on the Red Planet’s surface, they were not only surprised but also a little bit worried.
The thin fragment(碎片) was suspicious enough to guarantee its own name, with NASA’s Curiosity rover team calling it the “Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris”, named for where it was discovered. With no idea what it was or where it came from, the rover’s handlers began to worry that it might actually be a piece of the rover itself, suggesting some unseen damage or other issues with the robot. Thankfully, those concerns seem to have been unfounded.
In a new update from NASA the object has now been identified as a natural piece of rock rather than a piece of any man-made craft or vehicle. The team analysed the unusual object with a tool called the Chem Cam RMI. The instrument uses a laser(激光器) to sniff out the makeup of anything that is pointed at, and the results for this particular piece of debris revealed that it’s actually just a very thin piece of rock.
NASA describes the inspection: The planning day began with an interesting result from the previous plan’s Chem Cam RMI analysis of a target that was referred to as the “Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris”(PPFOD), and supposed to be a piece of spacecraft debris. In fact, it was found to be a very thin slice of rock, so we can all rest easy tonight. Curiosity has not begun to shed its skin!
How this particularly thin sliver of rock got to where it is—and why it seems to be a different colour than the surrounding sand and debris—remains unexplained, but at least the rover isn’t falling apart.
28. What attitude did NASA hold towards the newly found thin fragment?
A. Positive and excited.
B. Surprised and delighted.
C. Interested and doubtful.
D. Amazed and worried.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Therefore, when the Curiosity rover found something suspicious on the Red Planet’s surface, they were not only surprised but also a little bit worried.”可知,美国宇航局对新发现的可疑物感到惊讶且担忧。
答案:D
29. What is the “Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris” named for?
A. Its finder. B. Its location.
C. Its researcher. D. Its shape.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“with NASA’s Curiosity rover team calling it the ’Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris’, named for where it was discovered.”可知,佩特格罗夫点异物碎片以发现它的位置而命名。
答案:B
30. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Most people believe there isn’t any intelligent life on Mars.
B. The recent concerns connected with the thin fragment proved to be unnecessary.
C. According to NASA, the object found recently was a piece of man-made craft or vehicle.
D. The object once making many people worried has the same colour with the surrounding sand.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With no idea what it was or where it came from, the rover’s handlers began to worry that it might actually be a piece of the rover itself, suggesting some unseen damage or other issues with the robot. Thankfully, those concerns seem to have been unfounded.”可知,由于不知道它是什么,也不知道它是从哪里来的,火星车的操纵者开始担心它可能是火星车本身的一部分,暗示着机器人有一些看不见的损坏或其他问题。谢天谢地,这些担忧似乎没有依据。因此这种担心是多余的。
答案:B
31. In which part of a newspaper can you read the text?
A. Travelling. B. Sports.
C. Science. D. Food.
解析:推理判断题。文章介绍了美国好奇号探测器在火星表面发现了可疑的碎片,还介绍了美国宇航局对它进行了分析和研究,证明碎片只是一片很薄的岩石。因此推断,你能在报纸的科学版读到这篇文章。
答案:C
D
Astronauts in the space stations for long missions often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled(安排) so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. It’s especially hard for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS). ISS crew members usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on the Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by e-mail, Internet phone and through private video meetings.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in space, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading materials for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometres above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. Today, the Internet can be used on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast landmass and oceans.
32. What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Find. B. Copy.
C. Change. D. Lose.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“They work five days on and two days off ...”可知,这和在地球上的工作时间一致,所以这样做的目的是尽可能模仿地球上的正常生活。故选B。
答案:B
33. What does the author show to us in the last paragraph?
A. Astronauts get more pleasure in space than on the Earth.
B. Astronauts find living in space a bit boring and tiring.
C. Astronauts think space life is common.
D. Astronauts love to see the Earth from space.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“...the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast landmass and oceans.”可知,宇航员喜欢在太空中看地球。故选D。
答案:D
34. What can we know from the text?
A. Astronauts in the space stations work short hours.
B. Astronauts in space is not as busy as the ordinary people.
C. Astronauts can have free time on weekends.
D. Astronauts can’t keep in touch with their families.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on the Earth as much as possible.Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework.”可知,他们工作五天休息两天,尽可能模仿他们在地球上做事的正常方式。周末留给宇航员们宝贵的时间来休息和做几个小时的家务。结合选项可知选C。
答案:C
35. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. How astronauts work for longer missions in space.
B. How astronauts connect with people on the Earth.
C. How astronauts observe the Earth from space.
D. How astronauts spend their free time in space.
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要向我们介绍了宇航员在太空休息时所做的事。故选D。
答案:D
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The universe has never failed to catch human’s attention. The ancient humans came up with stories to explain the presence of the suns and other planets. As time went by, humans set their sights on exploring the vastness(广阔) of space. In 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon’s surface. 36. 　　　 
• It allows people to know more about the universe.
Undoubtedly, space exploration has answered the question of whether the earth is round or not and proved the earth does circle around the sun and not the other way around. 37. 　　　　It gives people a deeper understanding about the universe and provides them with more information about the world they live in.  
• It paves the way to advanced technology.
Scientists are always developing new technology for space programmes, but the good news is that these new innovations(创新) aren’t just useful for astronauts and space programmes. 38. 　　　 　In fact, they have already led to the development of modern products and devices that many people use such as the BDS systems, and breast cancer test imaging, to name a few.  
• 39. 　　　 
Space exploration doesn’t just involve scientists and astronauts; it also requires the skills and labour of many engineers, research assistants, technicians, mechanics, and other professionals. If space exploration would be stopped today, these people would become jobless, and they wouldn’t have the means to support themselves and their families.
• It can offer a solution to many problems.
Aside from collecting information about the outer space, many space exploration programmes are used to solve some of the problems with our modern society. Some programmes, for example, help scientists learn more about the Earth’s atmosphere and know how to better predict weather and natural disasters. 40. 　　　　This may be the solution to the Earth’s growing population.  
Space exploration is one of the biggest achievements of humans as a whole, and it has paved the way to greater scientific understanding and technological advancement over the years. I can see no reason why we should stop our exploration.

A. It creates many jobs.
B. But it does much more than that.
C. It was a big step in space exploration.
D. They can also be used in other industries.
E. They also help scientists know more about the Earth.
F. Others focus on looking for planets that can support human life.
G. Since then, space exploration has been going on and brought many benefits.
36. 解析:根据空前可知,1969年,宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗成为第一个在月球表面行走的人,所以G项符合语境,“Since then”即指 “自从那时以来”,下文介绍的也是探索太空带来的益处。
答案:G
37. 解析:根据上文可知,太空探索已经回答了有关地球以及太阳的一些问题,下文则介绍太空探索让人们对宇宙有了更深的了解,并为他们提供了更多关于他们生活的世界的信息,所以B项承上启下,符合语境,说明对宇宙的探索不只是空前所提到的这些。
答案:B
38. 解析:根据上文可知,这些创新不只是用于宇航员和太空项目,下文介绍了这些创新使得人们可以使用BDS系统和乳腺癌检测成像等,所以D项符合语境,这些创新也会应用于其他行业。
答案:D
39. 解析:根据下文可知,如果今天停止太空探索,有些人就会失业,他们也没有办法养活自己和家人,所以A项符合文意,太空探索创造了很多工作机会。
答案:A
40. 解析:根据下文可知,这可能是地球上不断增长的人口的解决方案,所以F项符合语境,另外一些项目是寻找能够养育人类生命的行星,而且F项与上文“Some programmes” 构成 “some ... others ...” 句型。
答案:F

Outer Space Exploration, Yes or No?
The other day at a class meeting we had an argument over whether it was necessary to carry out outer space exploration.
 

答案:
Outer Space Exploration, Yes or No? 
The other day at a class meeting we had an argument over whether it was necessary to carry out outer space exploration. 
Some of us thought it important to research outer space because, first of all, people can get a better understanding of outer space through their exploration. Second, new resources can be found there for human use. Third, this exploration can possibly bring about new living space for humans.
However, others thought very differently. They said this kind of exploration is much too costly. Besides, it is very dangerous for astronauts to do such work.
In my opinion, people should be pioneering and therefore such exploration of outer space is worth trying out.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles away from his office. He was therefore able to drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove in the middle of the day, he found cars were parked in the road outside his house, and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive two blocks farther before he could find a place to park. Then he had to walk home. This made him very angry.
He had put up a board which read “No Parking!” in the garden facing the road, but nobody seemed to pay attention to it. People only obeyed a police notice, but not a private one. There were no parked cars where there was a blue board with white letters on it: Police Notice—No Parking!
Mrs Brown suggested that he should steal a police notice. But he dared not,being afraid of going to prison. She then suggested that he make one just like a police notice. He said he was not a policeman and couldn’t use the word “police”. He decided that he must find a way out and started thinking hard. For several days, the smell of paint filled the house. One night, he showed his wife a new notice board. It was painted in white letters on a blue board: Polite Notice—No Parking!
“Oh,” Mrs Brown said, “but you told me you weren’t going to use the word ’police’. That’s exactly like a police notice.”
“Is it?” he asked, “Look again.”
She began to laugh, “You are really rather clever.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。

　　Why did Mrs Brown say her husband was really rather clever? 
 
 
 
 
 
If the police discovered that the Browns were using a police notice,  
 
 
 
 
 
答案:
Why did Mrs Brown say her husband was really rather clever? Because she found that he had written a notice which looked exactly like a police notice. He made a blue board with white letters on it,but it was not a real police notice. Because Mr Brown was afraid of going to prison,he certainly dared not use the word “police”,but he used “polite notice” instead of “police notice”. He was quite clever, wasn’t he? From then on, no cars were parked in the road outside his house. And he wasn’t worried about the police. 
If the police discovered that the Browns were using a police notice, they would feel angry and punish them. It was a crime because he offended the police, passing himself off as a policeman,but Mr Brown remained very calm.He would ask the policeman to look at the board carefully.The policeman would burst out laughing when they realised what had happened.
