_.a. he was a careful man. b. he was a poor man.c. he was not friendly to others. d. he knew little about music and dances.(b) one summer my friend and i decided to go to italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. you know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. we started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of italy. the trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. we look forward to going there again! of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! of course i was afraid that something would go wrong and i was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end. the most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. in the italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. then we had to solve the ticket problem. airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. the next step was to book a hotel. we finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip. every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of rome. our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was russian. she gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. she told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go. dont be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. its not difficult! the only thing ill say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. we walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. so, if youre also planning a single trip, dont forget to take a russian-italian phrasebook as people in italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.46. why does the author want to go to italy again? _. a. he had a great time there. b. italy has a lot of attractions. c. his friend invited him there. d. he didnt stay in italy long enough.47. what does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his italian trip? _. a. buying cheap airline tickets to italy before the traveling b. getting a visa without an invitation from the italian consulate. c. booking a comfortable hotel on his own in rome. d. solving the ticket problem far in advance.48. in the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains _. a. the reason why he chose to live in the center of rome b. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice c. what transport they chose to travel in their italian trip d. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice49. which of the following questions has not been answered in the passage? _. a. why did the author decide to go to italy for a holiday for the first time? b. why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency? c. how did the author prepare for his trip? d. what tools did the author use for his traveling?50. from the text we can know the author _. a. enjoys traveling everywhere in the world b. likes being accompanied by tour guides c. advises us to arrange trips by ourselves d. met with a lot of his countrymen in italy（c）yi so-yeon, an engineer from seoul, returned to earth on saturday after 11 days aboard the international space station (iss), along with russian cosmonaut yuri malenchenko and us astronaut peggy whitson. a technical problem turned a routine (常规) return to earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members stamina and courage. they landed in the kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target. during the descent there was some kind of fire outside the soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere, yi said. at first i was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so i tried to look okay too. yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at star city, the wooded sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of moscow. however, malenchenko and whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. their answers were short and whitson needed support to balance when she walked. the 29-year-old yi has become famous in south korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. in fact, they are the heroes right now, yi said, referring to malenchenko and whitson. im just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that i am a hero. she did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the iss. i sang fly me to the moon yi said about the 1950s pop song. its my favorite song from university although at that time i didnt know i would be an astronaut. the capsules so-called ballistic re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. the flames yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere. whitson told reporters that saturdays ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency. the soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but im sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed, she said. in october, a soyuz capsule carrying malaysias first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem. the soyuz is the worlds longest-serving manned space capsule. an early version of the craft, the vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961. whitson, 48, has become the american with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.51. whats the main idea of the passage? _. a. flight in space is very dangerous b. not everybody can go into space c. fearful landing tests the korean astronaut d. yi didnt know she would be an astronaut when she was young52. the reason why yi suo-yeon felt afraid at first was that _. a. a fire was caused by the friction b. she had no such experience before c. she was not brave enough d. the other two didnt help her53. from the passage, we can learn that _. a. yi so-yeon, a space tourist came from south korea b. whitson became energetic when they landed on earth c. the two other guys were not afraid during the descent d. the soyuz, an unmanned space capsule, had a long history54. the underlined phrase in this passage means _. a. out of work b. out of control c. in the wrong direction d. in danger55. we can conclude from this passage that _. a. experience is very important for astronauts to ensure safety b. yi suo-yeon will never return to the space station c. people are not willing to experience the space flight d. we should draw a lesson from the accident(d)electrical devices (仪器) could soon use power made by human energy. scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking. british scientist max donelan and other scientists in canada and the united states developed the device. the device connects to a persons knee. as the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. to do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg. the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes. there are several possible uses for the device. developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. the device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起搏器). it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs. the experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. an improved version should be ready in one year. the developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. nearly twenty-five percent of people around the world live without electric power. a similar product was invented in 2005 by larry rome of the university of pennsylvania. he created a bag carried on a persons back that also produces power from walking. the knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag. but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms. 56. the second paragraph mainly talks about _. a. who developed the device b. how the device works c. several possible uses for the devices d. how much electricity the device can produce57. what is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device? _. a. it is too heavy for the walker to bear. b. it is too complex for people to use. c. it will slow down ones walking speed. d. it is too dear for most people to afford.58. compared with the device designed by larry rome, this new device _. a. produces power without adding more loads to the walker b. can produce more power in a much shorter time c. needs to be equipped with a battery d. can help the walker walk faster59. from the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can _. a. help housewives operate the micro-wave oven b. make it much easier for us to go online c. produce more electricity than that invented by larry rome d. be applied in medicine to operate heart pacemakers60. what would be the best title for the passage? _. a. first device powered by walking will soon be on the market b. advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers c. device gives new meaning to the idea of power walkingd. human energy will become a main source of electricity 第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。a beijing highlightsluxury : 4 days $269 up standard : 4 days $249 up super deluxe : 4 days $519 up budget : 5 days $189 up beijing boasting a history of over a thousand years is rich in cultural relics. our four-day itinerary will take you to the most popular sites around the city. you will see the magnificent great wall; sacred tiananmmen square; majestic forbidden city as well as the verdant gardens of the summer palace.bbeijing hutong tourluxury & standard : 5 days $299 up super deluxe : 5 days $669 up budget : 6 days $239 up beijing, one of the six ancient capital cities of china still has a rich hi
