been putting great effort into space research. and so far, we have achieved many successes. but there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.the international space station (iss) is an important step we should take in space exploration. it is not only helpful but also essential. it provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. it is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. it could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and mars. in a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.as the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. the usa seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. so it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. it is really a job that needs everyones effort and will benefit everyone.led by the u.s. and russia, the iss is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the iss has come to the end of a ten-years hard work in construction. china has applied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove china onto the path of independent development. as the long march -f/t1 carrier rocket blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the tiangong-1 into space on september 29, 2011, china takes a big step toward its space station era.some west media suggested that the successful launch of tiangong-1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns (关注) about “china threat”. chinas space project is not designed for military (军事的) purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankinds well-being.45. from paragraph 2 we learn that _. a. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowb. many experiments have been done in the international space stationc. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space mored. people have traveled to mars from the international space station46. which of the following is not a reason for countries cooperation in building the international space station?a. that it requires a lot of money.b. that it needs everyones effort.c. that it will benefit every participating country.d. that it is too far away from the earth.47.the underlined word “aggregated” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_”a. united b. scolded c. allowed d. forbade48. china wants to build its space station in order to _.a. break the balance of global space power b. show that china can build space station alonec. raise international concerns about “china threat” d. make use of space peacefully for mankinds well-being参考答案44、c 4658. dad 阅读理解-c“in only six days i lost seven pounds of weight.”“two full inches in the first three days!”these are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising good shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. the promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. the results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.to understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. if the product is a drug, fda (food drug administration) can require proof under the food, drug and cosmetic act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. but if the product is a device, fda has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. if a product already on the market is a danger to health, fda can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.one notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. the relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. fda took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that was dangerous to health and life.obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.49. it can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are_.a. objective b. costly c. unbelievable d. illegal50. the relaxacisor is mentioned as_.a. a product which was designed to produce electricityb. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal casec. a successful advertisement of a beauty productd. an example of a quality beauty product51. the author intends to_.a. make consumers aware of the promoters false promiseb. show the weakness of the law on product safetyc. give advice on how to keep young and beautifuld. introduce the organization of fda52. which of the following is true according to the text?a. the court is in charge of removing dangerous products.b. new products are more likely to be questionable.c. the production of a device must be approved by fda.d. the promoters usually just care about profits.参考答案49、cb 5152. ad 阅读理解-dto get an extra 14 years of life, dont smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amountthat is according to a study published this monday in the public library of science medicine journalafter tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the united kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, kay-tee khaw of the university of cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didnt“weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, ” said susan jebb, head of nutrition and health at britains medical research council“the benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from”study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intakepublic health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changesbut because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years“we cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said drtim armstrong, a physical activity expert at the world health organization“the 14 years is an average across the population of whats theoretically（理论上地）possible”“most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isnt good for them, ” susan jebb said“we need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change”53. which of the following doesnt belong to the four healthy habits?a. eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a dayb. do proper exercise in the morning every dayc. drinking alcohol in the proper amount every dayd. having a cigarette before going to bed every day54.we can learn from the passage that a. susan jebb did not take part in the studyb. the study observed people as well as tested specific changesc. theres no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habitsd. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors55. what can be inferred from the passage?a. all the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habitsb. people aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the united kingdomc. governments should take measures to help people change their bad habitsd. people have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing theyre good56. what would be the best title for this passage?a. smoking and drinking cuts you 14 yearsb. how to live a much healthier lifec. how to make your life longer
