(2012年辽宁卷，B)Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions(使命) often work very long days.Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work.This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS)．ISS crewmembers 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 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 email，internet，phone and through private video conferences.

While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit，there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy.Before a mission，the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos，messages，videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.During their mission，the crew also receives care packages with CDs，books，magazines，photos and letters.And as from early 2010，the internet became available on the ISS，giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(冲浪)” 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 the window and stare at the universe and the Earth.Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day，and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.

16．What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Find.          B．Copy.

C．Change.         D．Lose.

17．Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?

A．They are caring and thoughtful.

B．They are worried and upset.

C．They are impatient and annoyed.

D．They are excited and curious.

(2012年深圳市高三调研)As the forceful king of Macedonia(马其顿)，Alexander the Great overthrew the Persian Empire，becoming a hero that would survive centuries after his death.

Born in 356 B．C.，Alexander Ⅲ was the son of Philip Ⅱ and Olympias.Alexander's parents wanted him to receive the finest education，and arranged for him to study under Aristotle，regarded as one of the greatest scholars.

Alexander's father was a strong leader.Philip Ⅱ built an impressive army and established the Macedonian kingdom；he was even planning to attack Persia shortly before his death.

In 336 B．C.，Philip Ⅱ was murdered by one of his guards.Although it was obvious that the guard had a personal hatred，there were clues that other people were related to it.

After Alexander was cleared as a suspect，he succeeded his father without opposition，and killed those said to be responsible for his father's murder，as well as all rivals.He was then just 20 years old.He then prepared to attack Persia.

In the spring of 334 B．C.，Alexander led the army made up of nearly 50,000 soldiers into Asia，which is called “the most powerful military expedition(远征) ever to leave Greece”．He soundly defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River，sending a strong message to Darius Ⅲ，leader of the Persian Empire.

In 333 B．C.，Alexander faced Darius at Issus，a mountain pass.The Macedonian army was greatly outnumbered but able to work the narrow mountain passageway to their advantage.Darius managed to escape.Continuing down the Mediterranean Coast，Alexander took every city in his path.

In 332 B．C. Alexander declared Egypt to be part of the Greek Empire and was crowned Pharaoh(法老)．

When Alexander left Egypt in 331 B．C.，he defeated the Persians again and was crowned leader of Asia.

In 323 B．C.，however，Alexander developed a fever on the way back home and died 10 days later at Babylon.He was just 33 years old.
