Anousheh faced many difficulties on board.To wash her hair，for example，she had to put water over her head；however，little bits of water would float (漂浮) away.“The guys liked to make fun of me.Theyd ask me to pass the bread and when I handed it to them，rather than floating it，theyd say Id taken all the fun out of it.After a while，I got used to all this，though，and I felt so at home that in the end it was hard to go back to normality.” Anousheh is proud to be the first female space tourist and wants to encourage women all over the world.However，she doesnt like the title “space tourist” “I think if my experience is to be compared to an experiment or an experience on Earth，it is probably closer to an adventure to Antarctica or climbing Mount Everest， ” she explains. 语篇解读 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了首位太空女游客阿努什安萨里的相关故 8 事。 21As Anousheh was growing up，_. Ashe didnt think she would ever become an astronaut Bher interest in space wasnt expected to last Cshe disagreed with her parents plans Dothers tried to discourage her dreams 解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中的 When I was a child，space was all I dreamt and talked about.My parents thought it was just a phase，but as I grew up I became greatly interested in science 可推测， Anousheh 对于太空的热爱在父母 看来只是一时头脑发热，不会持续太长时间。 答案： B 22The space crew members_. Aoften carry diseases onto the space station Bcan suffer aches and pains Cmust have a strong background in science Dhave little time to relax 解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 working on lower back pains in astronauts 可知，太空机组成员可能遭受疼痛之苦。 答案： B 23On the space station，_. AAnousheh did a lot of practice on bread Bit seemed impossible for Anousheh to wash with water CAnousheh liked playing games with the other astronauts Dit took Anousheh some time to get familiar with the conditions 解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 After a while，I got used to all this，though，and I felt so at home that in the end it was hard to go back to normality 可知，Anousheh 在太空站慢慢适应了那里的环境。 答案： D 24In Anoushehs opinion，her experience as a space tourist_. Awill give other women the courage to explore space Bcannot be compared to any experience on Earth Cturned out to be a dangerous experiment Dwas not as good as she hoped 解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 Anousheh is proud to be the first 9 female space tourist and wants to encourage women all over the world 可知， Anousheh 想借自己的太空旅行鼓励更多的女性去太空探索。 答案： A B Of all the planets，none has captured the worlds imagination like Mars.Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight. In Cosmos，the television science series from the 1980s，scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars.Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer HG.Wells The War of the Worlds.Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell，the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars.Wells described Martians as threatening.Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works.Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply. Today，Mars continues to excite humansnot as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited，landed on and dug into the Martian surface. The Smithsonians “Mars Day” offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars， or at least a piece of it.Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring，Maryland，brought their children，Grace，Sam，Ryan and Emma.They heard about Mars and its geology from experts.They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976.They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red，or reddish planet.Eightyearold Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right.He said， “It s actually orangish more than red and its also kind of brown，too.” Emma is six.She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars.She said， “The closest thing to Marsthe stuffis from volcanoes mostly.” “Mars Day” offered Allison and Alycias children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes. 语篇解读 在“火星日” ，人们可以对火星有更好的了解和认识。 25What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? AWhy Martians were considered threatening. 10 BWhy Mars has captured the worlds imagination. CWhat people generally thought of Mars in the past. DHow HG.Wells got the idea for his science fiction. 解析： 主旨大意题。通读第二段可知主要讲人们关于火星的一些传统认识，故选 C。 答案： C 26It is implied in Paragraph 3 that_. Atodays space scientists still know nothing about Mars Btodays space scientists are very interested in Mars Cscience fiction films are no longer set in Mars Dspace scientists havent made any progress in knowing Mars 解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Today，Mars continues to excite humans not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study”以及后一句“Space scientists have collected a wealth of information.”可推断现在的航天科学家们 对火星很感兴趣。 答案： B 27Sam would probably agree that_. AMars is not really red Bno meteorites have come from Mars CMars cannot be described as a little brown Dthe ancient description of Mars color is true 解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段的“He said，Its actually orangish more than red and its also kind of brown，too. ”可知山姆认为火星并不是红色的，而 是橘黄色，甚至带一点褐色，故选 A。 答案： A 28What is the writers attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars? AHe thinks it may happen in this year. BHe thinks it will always remain a dream. CHe thinks it will come true within hundreds of years. DHe thinks it may happen in the following decades. 解析： 推理判断题。根据末段的“a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes”可知作者认为人类在接下来的几十年内就有可能登上 火星。 11 答案： D C Are you looking for a large vehicle to take your family out for long drives and trips? Do you want a nice little car that can be driven through the thickest traffic with ease? Here，at The Clean Machine，our range (种类) of used vehicles has something for everyone. Over the years，we have realized that used car businesses always go for big sales but seldom offer an acceptable level of customer service.We decided to be different from that and put customers interests first.Here are some of our attractive offers. Low on credit (信用)？No problem! If you want a used car but your credit score is in a bad state，we can make it easier for you！We know just how difficult times can get.That is why we do not do a credit check.We know that a customers credit score is not the only measure of his/her ability to buy a car. Inhouse financing We offer 100 percent inhouse financing to our customers and do not rely on thirdparty lenders.With this，customers also get a Buy Here Pay Here offer.For example，if we have a $5,000 used vehicle，we would typically require half the cost as a down payment.The remaining would be paid at $200 or so per month. Low down payment deals Based on the number of used cars we have at the time，we even offer low down payment deals for some cars less than $5,000，allowing customers to pay as little as $1,000 as a down payment. Call us today to find out just how close you are to owning your own car！3604237054 语篇解读 本文是应用文。文章是一则关于二手汽车销售的广告。 29What does The Clean Machine provide? ARegular trips. BDriving lessons. CTraffic information. DSecondhand vehicles. 12 解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段 Here，at The Clean Machine，our range of used vehicles has something for everyone 可知，The Clean Machine 销售二手车辆。 答案： D 30A credit check is unnecessary at The Clean Machine because_. Apeople are losing their jobs Bthere is less trade than usual Ca credit score is not so important Dpeoples credit scores keep changing 解析： 推理判断题。根据 Low on credit？No problem！部分中的 We know that a customers credit score is not the only measure of his/her ability to buy a car 可推测，这家汽车销售公司认为一个人的信用积分并不是衡量他们是否有能力买车的 唯一标准，言外之意，这个信用其实也说明不了太大问题，并不是很重要的依据。 答案： C 31How much will a customer pay immediately for a $5,000 car? A$2,700. B$2,500. C$2,300. D$1,000. 解析： 细节理解题。根据 Inhouse financing 部分中的 if we have a $5,000 used vehicle，we would typically require half the cost as a down payment.The remaining would be paid at $200 or so per month 可知，如果买一辆 5000 美元的二手 车，首付需要一半的价格，即 2500 美元。 答案： B D Peoples faces light up when I say I taste chocolate for a living，but its not always delicious.I also have to taste chocolate that is not properly made and might have a bitter or burned flavor (味道)Im usually in a small room，not allowed to talk，and parked in front of a computer to make my record. I can taste as many as 30 chocolates per day，so to keep my sense of taste sharp，I force the sweets out.Thats another notsogood part of the job，although it makes it impossible for me to put on weight.Between the chocolates，I wait 30 seconds to let my senses rest，and I eat half an unsalted biscuit and drink warm water. I still eat chocolate just for pleasure，but not nearly as much.I actually love chocolate.The whole bottom part of my refrigerator is filled with chocolate from different parts of the world.I keep it in a plastic bag with a 13 paper towel to keep it fresh.My favorite types are very high in cocoa (可可粉) But I dont eat as much of it as I did before I started tasting chocolate as a job. Many people dont take enough time to appreciate the taste of even a small piece of chocolate.A key sign of highquality chocolate is the first ingredient (成分) listed：cocoa.But if I give you a 100 percent cocoa chocolate bar，you ll probably push it away because youre not used to it.To train your sense of taste to enjoy better quality chocolate，try simple kinds.As a taster，I want others to do what I do： to look at food with interest and love and to notice colors，smells and flavors.Then youll know good quality. 语篇解读 本文是议论文。作者在文中描述了她作为巧克力品尝师的感受。 32What do common people think of t
