语 篇 提 能阅读理解AMany people wonder why some men want to live on the moon. It is probably not the kind of place where most men would choose to live. It is a silent place, where the weather is hot and sunny or cold and dark. Its surface is dull and almost colourless. There are no lakes, rivers, or plants to provide beauty. A simple walk on the moons surface is filled with danger. Astronauts on the moon certainly miss the comfort of life on earth. But man has always moved to new frontiers. Every pioneer in a new land has faced danger and hardship.Some scientists hope that continued work will be done on the moon. Many experiments will be done there more easily. Some large experiments are very easy to do in a vacuum. Matter can be heated to very high temperatures without chemical changes when it is in a vacuum. Air, dust, and clouds cant block mans view of space from the moon. The very high or very low temperatures and low gravity on the moon will be used for many experiments. One very important use of the moon will be to launch spacecraft.Man might be able to learn much about his own body by living on the moon. He would be living in a habitat that he made for himself. Man would be in control of the community of life in which he lives. Bacteria could be removed from the air in this community.Gravity is one thing that would not be under mans control. Some scientists believe the low gravity of the moon would be healthful for man. The heart would not have to work so hard. The body would need less energy to move than it does on the earth. However, the human body might change during long stays on the moon. Much exercise would probably be needed to keep the body in good condition.1The idea of living on the moon _.A. has not been understood by a lot of peopleB. has not been heard of by a lot of peopleC. is not a good idea to most peopleD. is rather a good idea to many people答案与解析A推理判断题。由第一段的第一句“Many people wonder why some men want to live on the moon”可知，许多人不能理解一些人想生活在月球上的想法，故A项正确。2According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. It will be easier to carry out experiments on the moon.B. There is little air, dust, and clouds around the moon.C. The moon will be a suitable place for launching spacecraft.D. Bacteria is moving everywhere on the moon.答案与解析D细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句可知，细菌可以从这种社区的空气中移除，所以D项描述“细菌在月球上到处移动”不符合文意。3The temperature on the moon _.A. is not very high B. is not very lowC. is neither high nor low D. tends to go to extremes答案与解析D推理判断题。由第二段中的第四句“Matter can be heated to very high temperatures .”及第二段的倒数第二句“The very high or very low temperatures .”可以推测，月球上的温度趋于极限。其他三项描述不正确。4The best title of the passage should be _.A. Life on the MoonB. Gravity ProblemsC. A Place for Scientific ResearchD. To Launch a Spacecraft答案与解析A标题归纳题。本文主要就许多人不理解一些人想生活在月球上的想法这一话题，介绍了一些月球上的情况，故A项作为标题符合文意。B、C、D三项均是文中提到的一方面问题。BPeople seldom feel neutral about poetry. Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter and love. It isnt. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent (相等的东西) for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing. Thats not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words in poetry or in life but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their senses of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of the poetrys most insistent values involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but Ive never been able to express it so well.” Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.5The author suggests that _.A. poetry often captures real human feelingsB. poetry makes its readers sentimental (感性的)C. poetry is more important than wordsD. poetry tends to make the reader disappointed答案与解析A推理判断题。从第一段最后两句可知，作者认为诗歌往往能够表达出人的真实感受。6According to the author, poetry _.A. is more than just wordsB. is the poets feelings about wordsC. is anything but patterns of linesD. is an experiment on the use of words答案与解析A细节理解题。由第一段“Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their senses of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.”可知答案为A项。7Poetry tries, persistently, to express _.A. what love and death meanB. what people thi
