阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。a the next great land area that man hopes to control is the moon. in size it is nearly equal to the area of north and south america. however, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. temperatures range +120 to -150 degrees centigrade. there is no air, and no water. today there is considerable scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. when man will begin life on the moon surface is still not determined. but experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. first, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters. these periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the settlers themselves from the earth. finally, settlements that are self-supporting will be founded. the main job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. they will have to plant crops under huge domes (圆顶屋) to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. after this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial (商业的) development and to make discoveries important to science. the characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing (制造业). operations requiring a vacuum (真空) or extreme cold are examples. therefore, industrial diamonds might be produced on the moon.56. the area of the moon is _.a. about the same as that of north and south americab. larger than that of north and south americac. hardly equal to that of north and south americad. far smaller than that of north and south america57. to stay alive on the moon, the early settlers must first of all be able to _. a. get enough food, oxygen and waterb. develop commerce c. make discoveries important d. explore the possibilities of industrial development58. though the environment on the moon is bad for human staying alive, it is very good for _. a. all kinds of manufactured goods b. commercial development c. making such things as industrial diamonds d. medical operationsbwhen you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. each element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. you cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success.success is very much achievable to everybody. believe that and you have taken the first step. if you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. however, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to success.there are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate control. once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activities.what is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievements. appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeed.some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. at the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.all these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. but it is up to you to get things started. those who do not start travel nowhere. for others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment. 59according to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?adont compare with others bbring everything under control cfind out what you have in mind dfeel confident about your ability60why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage? ait will allow you to recover from past failures bit will remind you of the vision of your future cit will motivate you to continue pursuing success dit will help you develop your characteristics in everything61the underlined word “setbacks”（in paragraph 5）probably means _a failures b troubles c hesitation d depression62what can we learn from the last paragraph? aif you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far bif you dont start trying, youll never embrace success cif you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want dif you dont study, you can never reach the destinationcthey are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives. if one falls, the other is there to catch him.they are wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident. and corbett, an experienced rock climber. together, they climbed up half dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the yosemite national park, through one of the most difficult routes. during the climb, corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes（尖状物）that guided the ropes and climbed up. then, after wellman pulled himself up the rope, corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. this process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days. wellmans job was not easy either. he got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. in all, wellman figured that he had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.however, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “he knew that was how i got injured.” wellman said. until one day wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.their climb of half dome was not all smooth. at one point, pieces of rock gave way, and corbett dropped down quickly. wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. his quick action probably saved his friends life.“your partner can save your life - you can save your partners life,” wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends. “there are real close ties.” 63. which of the following was a challenge for corbett in climbing half dome?a. to climb up to remove the spikes. b. to climb it twice.c. to do 5,000 pull-ups up the rope.d. to lock the rope in place.64. why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?a. corbett was poorly trained.b. wellman had lost interest in climbing.c. corbett didnt want to hurt wellman. d. wellman hadnt decided whether to climb again.65. what do we know about wellman?a. he climbed half dome by himself. b. he was disabled in a traffic accident.c. he stopped rock-climbing for some time. d. he was saved by corbett during the climb.66. the main idea of the text is that_.a. two heads are better than one b. friendship is precious in lifec. the disabled should never give up d. a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeateddthere are three kinds of goals: short-term, intermediate and long-term goals. short-term goals are those that usually deal with present activities. such goals can be achieved in a week or two, or possible months. it should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation (基础), our long-term goals cannot be achieved without the achievement of solid short-term goals. upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the time and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.the intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. they might deal with just one term of school or the entire school years, or they could extend for several years. any time you move a step at a time, you never allow yourself to become discouraged. as you complete each step, you will have more belief in your ability to grow and succeed.long-term goals may be related to our dreams of future. they might cover five years or more. life is not a static (静态的) thing. we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.67. the long-term goals mean_.a. something static and easy to get if we complete our short-term goalsb. something easy to reach if we complete a short-term goal in timec. nothing but our dreams of futured. a lot, such as a dream, and aspiration (热望) or a wish in our life68. when we complete each step of our goals, _.a. we will win final successb. we become down-heartedc. we should encourage ourselvesd. we should think about changing our goals69. it is the most important for us students to have _ first. a. long-term goals b. intermediate goals c. short-term goals d. dreams of future70. which of the following titles is best for this passage?a. three kinds of goals b. how to reach goalsc. changeable goalsd. moveable goals第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them pocket
