The crowd inside let out a collective gasp of excitement. But no one was more excited than my mom. This 110-pound woman is not normally rude, but suddenly she rushed through the door, nearly knocking over an elderly German tourist.My mom wasnt interested in the sights; she just wanted air. If theres one thing that frightens my mom more than packed spaces, its heights. We were now 889 feet above the Paris cityscape. Maybe we should have taken the Eiffel Tower off our “to do”list.By the time I caught up with her, she had pressed her entire body against a huge steel girder(大梁). I couldnt help but laugh.“What?” she said defensively, her arms wrapped around the support and her face flushed. “Im having a great time. ”“Yeah, I can tell. Lets go, ”I said.My mom replied,“I cant. ” Amidst the twinkling reflection of the City of Lights, I saw terror in her eyes. She was so scared of heights, she couldnt move.I was going to have to think of somethingand fast. “I know, Mom!”I shouted, making her jump. “We dont have to get back in the elevator. We can walk all the way down. ” Before she could think about it, I took her arm and led her over to the stairs.Finally, after 20 minutes, we headed down the last flight. “See? That wasnt so bad. ”I pushed on the steel exit gate. The gate didnt move. I felt a fit of panic. I pushed again, still no movement. I shoved again and again against the gate. Out of breath, I felt on the verge of tears.“Quest-ce que cest la probleme?”A young French security guard stood on the other side of the gate. He repeated his question. The fact that I didnt understand French only made me panic more. I banged violently on the door, and rocked against itstill nothing.The guard smiled now. He pointed up and said in English, “The sign. Read it. ”I followed his pointing finger to a sign that hung above the gate. It said:“Tirez.” I looked at the guard blankly. What did that mean?“The sign,” the guard told me. “It says, Pull. ”Stepping back, I stopped pushing the gate. I pulled instead. It swung open easily. Now my face burned with embarrassment, not panic.“Karen, you really need to learn to relax,” my mom said, laughing as she breezed past me.21.

While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye. They would have to sleep for years.European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets. “If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-space travel a reality,” said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they dont age. They have now moved on to small, non-hibernating mammals like rats. The results will be out by the end of 2009.A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex.Its like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer, said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italys University of Pavia.Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a persons metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system.There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiters moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six humans on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.21. European researchers are conducting hibernation experiments to _.A. ensure astronauts to get a complete sleepB. find the secret of some creaturesC. make preparations for the journey to Jupiters moon CallistoD. know if man can sleep for years22.The sentence “What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely” means _.A.Science fiction is peoples imagination.B.Science fiction is imaginative，but it can be realized.C.Things seem impossible may come true.D.Things described in science fiction are sure to become true.23.The passage implies but doesnt states that _.A.putting living cells into a sleep-like state is full of failureB.Biggiogera is not confident enough with the experimentC.humans hibernmation needs no energyD.medical research is the key to space flight hibernation system24.By designing a suitable protective shelter，astronauts can_.A.have a good hibernationB.1essen the pressure of traveling in spaceC.feed themselves in spaceshipD.monitor their body changes25.Whats the best title for the passage?A.Six humans to fly to CallistoB.Human hibernation improves healthC.Space travel attracts peopleD.Deep sleep for deep space travelIII.标音。用国际音标标出下列单词中划线字母或字母组合的读音，并将答案写在答题纸相应的位置上。(本大题共20小题，每小题0.5分，共10分)(注意：使用新式或老式音标均可)31. easy 32. kiss33. something 34. matter35. room 36. marsh37. custom 38. j udge39. mountain 40. toil41. tear 42. various43. yesterday 44. willing45. mute 46. define.47. kitchen 48. certain49. train 50.seedsIV.完形填空。将答案写在答题纸相应的位置上。(本大题共20小题，每小题0.5分，共10分)A.从下列单词中选择恰当的词填空，每个词只能用一次。during frequently half cross managewhether partial hardly more offPeople traveling long distances 51 have to decide 52 they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. 53 anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for 54 than a few hours.
