Any rocket is interesting and often exciting, but there is one that also promises to be wonderful fun for the pilot. This rocket is designed to carry one person through the air for short distance. It is called a rocked belt. The rocket belt looks like a padded vest(背心) with two steel tanks on the back and a handgrip(手柄) connecting each other. Turning the left handgrip lets the pilot rise into the air, higher than the top of trees. Turning the right handgrip lets him or her speed ahead. BY controlling the right grip and body motions, the pilot can come to stop in the air. Then, by regulating(调整) the thrust with the left hand, the pilot can come back to earth gently. A rocket engine may be thought of as a special kind of furnace(火炉) in which fuels are burned very rapidly at very high temperatures. The burning fuel creates hot gases. The hot gases then expand(膨胀) and push against the inside of the engine.Imagine a steel cylinder(活塞) with no openings except two tiny ones where fuel and oxygen enter. The fuel burns and gas is formed. This gas expands, pushing equally in all directions. Pressure becomes so great that, unless it is let out, the cylinder will burst. But before the steel cylinder can burst, the end opposite the fuel intake is suddenly opened and the hot gases rush out. More gases are formed at once as the fuel continues to burn. The gases push against at all parts of the cylinder except for the open end. This causes the cylinder to move away from the open end where there is no pressure. 46. This passage is mainly talking about _ A. rockets of all sizes B. the rocket belt C. the rocket cylinder D. the rocket engines47. The writer begins to discuss a rocket engine and a steel cylinder from the fourth paragraph on in order to _A. show that he is a specialist in this field.B. Make the readers understand how the rocket belt worksC. Tell the readers the functions(功能) of the engine and cylinderD. Prove that a rocket can be considered as a kind of furnace48. What cause the cylinder to move?A. The hot gasses continued to expand until the cylinder burstB. The hot gases created in the engine rush out of the fuel intakeC. The hot gasses creating pressure push against all parts of the cylinder D. The hot gasses created in the engine is let out of the other end instead of the fuel intake. 49. In the following paragraphs the writer is probably going to talk about_ A. how to train pilot B. what furnaces looks like C. the rocket engines D. rockets of all sizes B. Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit (学分)which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester (学年). A typical course is made up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is helpful for the student to show to expected employers. All this makes him suffer from pressure of work. But in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. The effective work is usually performed by students who hold important positions in student organizations. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. And a student who has held one of these positions is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career (事业). 50.Normally a student would at least attend _classes each week.
