and carried them to the city on a tractor. bad luck! a lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. a few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格)。they felt unhappy and returned to their village.i cant understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利) uncle li asked one day.the tractor was too small uncle wang said without thinking. well carry more apples on a truck next time!i agree! said uncle li. how foolish (傻的) we were !( )45 uncle li and uncle wang live in the low and broken houses because _.a. they hope to save money b.

series （系列剧）was shown on nbc last night. star trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飞船）which travels faster than the speed of light. the show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. first, well find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible. lets think about these predictions. if we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? i hope so. but we human beings might not be friendly i dont think well believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. but this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! and star treks idea of life in the future is communicators. and we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because youll have an electronic notebook. and if you get ill, the doctor wont have to examine you a machine will read your body. the strangest manchine includes a teleport which will take people to a different placein a second!the ideas are interesting, and in my opinion theres only one problem with star trek: the acting. the tv company （公司）will have to get better actors. if they do that, the show might be a success. if the acting doesnt improve, star trek wont last for more than one series. of course, my prediction may be wrong. i cant see into the future!( )48. what is star trek?a. a tv play. b. a popular song. c. a spacecraft. d. an alien.( )49. what does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?a. lucky and happy. b. hopeful and confident.c. helpful and creative. d. thankful and popular.( )50. which would be the best title for the passage?a. aliens on other planets. b. the idea of human life.c. a science fiction. d. a new series about future.cfor a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and mars is the latest place were using machines to explore. besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life. early last month, the first american robot, spirit, landed on mars without any problem. opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. scientists are very excited about these machines safe landing on mars. it means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. so far, the robots have found some stones that could show mars was once a wet and warm planet. but the trips made by spirit and opportunity were dangerous. mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. before spirit and opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to mars since the 1960s. two-thirds of them failed. the first spaceship, korabl, sent in 1962 by russia was among them. it broke apart (分裂) near the earth.( )51. for a long time humans think _. a. they can surely find life on marsb. there may be life on mars c. its too late for them to explore mars now d. mars is the only planet that has life on it( )52. the two robots _. a. have found out that it is warm and wet on marsb. were sent to mars to find some stones c. were the first two american robots that landed on mars d. are the only machines that have landed on mars so far( )53. the third paragraph mainly tell us _.a. its a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to marsb. two-thirds of the spaceships sent to mars have failedc. spirit and opportunity landed on mars successfullyd. mars is called the “death planet”din the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. it was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. in those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. but then in 1930, a woman called ellen church invented the “stewardess”. ellen church was born in 1904 on a farm in iowa. she was a different child. she didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. ellen studied to be a nurse at the university of minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. for the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilots license.ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with boeing air transport. she loved flying but she understood that airlines were a mans world. although women like emelia earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .but she had another idea. most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. there were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and b.a.t. agreed.the young woman from iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.at first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. in 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. the early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. when a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. it was hard job and not well paid. they worked long hours and earned 1 an hour.in the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. they are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.（ ）54. the last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _. a. the word “stewardess” was made up by ellen church b. ellen church was the first woman who flew a plane c. ellen church was the first woman who worked on a plane d. ellen church was the first woman passenger on a plane（ ）55.from the second paragraph, we learn that _. a. ellen did not behave in the same way as most other girls b. ellens family was not rich enough to support her education c. ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital d. ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely（ ）56.the main reason for boeing air transport offering ellen the job was _. a. her flying experience b. her university education c. her nursing experience d. her life attitudes（ ）57 .the passage mainly talks about _. a. the background of early flying pilots b. the experience of flying passengers c. the history of early flight attendants d. the development of airplanes第二卷（主观题，共40 分）四词汇运用 （每小题1分，共8分）(a) 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1. the _ (发展) of science has changed
