(216 words) part reading comprehension (30 marks)directions: read the following three passages. each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c, and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.anot long ago, few little girls imagined they could grow up to be astronauts. in 1983, that changed. sally ride made history by becoming the first american woman to travel into outer space.ride became interested in space when she was a kid. “if you asked me when i was 12 whether i wanted to be an astronaut, im sure i would have said yes,” she told tfk in a 2010 interview. “but i didnt even think about that as a possible career.”after studying physics in college and post-graduate school (研究生院), ride got her chance. she was accepted into nasas astronaut training program in 1978, and then chosen to be the first american female in space. in 1983, she went into space aboard the challenger shuttle. “there is no amusement park ride on earth that even comes close. it cant be more wonderful,” she said. ride returned to space on the challenger a second time in 1984. in the two missions, she spent a total of 343 hours in orbit. after that, she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for space with kids. she wrote five science books about space for children, and started her own science education company.ride knew that she held a unique place in history. “i realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that men had been doing,” she said.since rides historic trip, more than 40 other american women have traveled to space. they all had to thank ride for opening the door to the final frontier.ride died at the age of 61 in 2012. “sally was a national hero and a powerful role model,” said president barack obama in a statement. (312 words)56. which of the following is true?a. sally was the first person to travel to space in america.b. sally wanted to be an astronaut even when she was a pupil.c. sally was interested in space, so she chose astronautics as her major.d. sally graduated from college and first traveled to space in 1983.57. from the fifth paragraph, we know that sally _.a. was good at doing business b. wanted to be rich by doing businessc. became a famous writer at last d. had a lasting interest in space58. what does the underlined phrase “the final frontier” refer to? a. physics b. outer space c. education d. modeling 59. what can we infer from the text?a. sally inspired many american women to travel into space.b. sally made great contributions to american economic development.c. women astronauts used to be looked down upon in american history.d. the government did not allow women to become astronauts in the past.60. which of the following could be the best title for the text?a. sally rides first space trip b. sally ride, a successful business womanc. a national hero flying in space d. sally ride, a real educator for kidsblong bus rides are like television shows. they have a beginning, a middle and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. the commercials are unavoidable. they happen whether you want them or not. every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “buy super clean toothpaste.” “drink good wet root beer.” “fill up with pacific gas.” only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “you need it! buy it now!”the beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. the bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. if the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬念) story. will the driver pass the truck in time? will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? after a while, of course, the excitement dies down. sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. food always makes bus rides more interesting. but youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.the end of the ride is partly like the beginning. you know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. the seat has become harder. by now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests (扶手) or even with your hands crossed behind your head. the end comes just at no more ways to sit. (322 words)61. according to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?a. buses on the road. b. films on television.c. advertisements on the billboards. d. gas stations.62. what is the purpose of this passage?a. to give the authors opinion about long bus trips. b. to persuade you to take a long bus trip.c. to explain how bus trips and television shows differ.d. to describe the billboards along the road.63. the author of this passage would probably favor _.a. bus drivers who arent reckless b. driving alonec. a television set on the bus d. no billboards along the road 64. the author feels long bus rides are like tv shows because _. a. the commercials both on tv shows and on billboards along the road are funb. they both have a beginning, a middle and an end, with commercials in betweenc. the drivers are always reckless on tv shows just as they are on busesd. both traveling and watching tv are not exciting.65. the writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _.a. exciting b. comfortable c. tiring d. boringcfrom bankers to factory staff, employees in the west face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global economic recession (衰退) starts to bite. but for those in the east, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut. human resource experts say cultural differences explain why asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. the east asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.“in the confucian mindset (儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective responsibility (集体负责制). while in the west, its more about individual survival,” said michael benoliel, professor of singapore management university (smu).in contrast, local western companies from general motors to goldman sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the asian units of western multinationals (跨国公司) or western units of asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.japans jobless rate was 4 percent in september, up from 3.8 percent in january, while hong kongs was flat at 3.4 percent. but us unemployment is expected to have jumped to 8 percent last month from below 5 percent in january.experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in east and west, the gap will narr
