The Discovery was to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. Id seen it so many times on television, now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And its the final demonstration of the of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket. Witnessing the Take Off: Standing close to the Space Shuttle home one unforgettable pointthe Shuttle is the height of a 15-story buildingit 4.5 million poundsand NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much , so much easier. Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. Its enough to get your heart beating . When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts . The first things you see are large white clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way . Thousands upon millions of pounds of can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle picks up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a of over 17,000 mph. It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is. Fact: 85% of the shuttles fuel is consumed within the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital . And thats exactly how success : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the and will require an (中小学试题)enormous consumption of energya great big push. However, you persist through the launch period, which can seem almost for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger. 【小题1】AadvisedBhopedCscheduledDreminded【小题2】Arise upBcome upCstep upDgo up【小题3】AbutBandCasDtherefore【小题4】AuniverseBworldCnatureDair【小题5】AgetsBdrivesCrunsDjumps【小题6】AcostsBweighsCmeasuresDsells【小题7】AsmallerBgreaterCbiggerDsmoother【小题8】ArocketsBworkersCspeakersDactors【小题9】Aoff your mouthBout of your stomachCoff your mindDout of your chest【小题10】AblowBfollowCglowDflow【小题11】AgasBsmokeCmistDsteam【小题12】AdownwardBupwardCforwardDoutward【小题13】ApullBliftCpushDpressure【小题14】AdistanceBdegreeCheightDspeed【小题15】AordinaryBabsoluteCapparentDpresent【小题16】AattitudeBaltitudeCrouteDrail【小题17】Aputs offBpays offCtakes offDdrops off【小题18】AhardestBeasiestCsimplestDbiggest【小题19】AwhileBifCunlessDuntil【小题20】AuselessBcarelessCwirelessDpriceless评卷人得分三、阅读理解(注释)17、The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industrys highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. British director Steve McQueens brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyongo and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana. “Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup,” said McQueen in his acceptance speech.“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. Referring to the “transformative” experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “Gravity”, Cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “For a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was just the color of my hair.”In one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences scattered golden Oscar statuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention.It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club”, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, a biopic of an early AIDS activist two decades in the making that won three Oscars, including the two male acting awards.Matthew McConaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned AIDS victim and then turned treatment crusader Ron Woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). His co-star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroofs unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically.Australias Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husbands financial crimes in Woody Allens “Blue Jasmine.” “As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,” said Blanchett, who beat out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.【小题1】The film which won the largest number of Oscar awards this year is _.A12 Years a SlaveBGravityCDallas Buyers ClubDBlue Jasmine【小题2】Which director spent the least money in making the film?ASteve McQueen.BAlfonso Cuaron.CJean-Marc Vallee.DWoody Allen.【小题3】How many Oscar best actresses are mentioned in this passage?AOne.BThree.CFive.DSix.【小题4】Which of the following statements is WRONG?A“12 Years a Slave” won two Oscar awards altogether.BThe director of “Gravity” is from Latin America.CThe character Rayon is played by Jared Leto.DThe woman film star Cate Blanchett comes from Oceania.18、The following are the sculptures in the Underwater Museum, which are accessible in person by glass boat, orscuba diving.The Archive of Lost DreamsThe Visual:It describes an underwater archive of messages in bottles.The Meaning:The bottles contain messages of dreams for future generations.The Hope:The statue is placed with the purpose of helping draw visitors away from the healthy parts of the reef.The Location:The Archive of Lost Dreams was placed 8 meters deep at Manchones Reef, close to Isla Mujeres.Behind the Scenes:The collection of bottled messages were provided by various communities who wrote about todays values and their dreams for the future generations.The Gardener of HopeThe Visual:Here a young Mexican girl lies in a garden surrounded by pots which will be grown with live coral.The Meaning:The young girl in the sculpture represents a model for hopeful future generations.The Hope:The base of the Gardener of Hope was built to attract various marine creatures. The coral in the pots is also expected to grow.The Location:The Gardener of Hope was placed 4 meters deep at Punta Nizuc near the coast of Cancun.Behind the Scenes:The pots here are filled with live coral cuttings that were saved from areas of the local reef system.Man on FireThe Visual:Man on Fire describes a lone male figure covered in live fire coral to resemble fire.The Meaning:The sculpture symbolizes the unawareness of the “fire” our generation has started with the over use of limited natural resources.The Hope:Man on Fire has 75 holes planted with small live cuttings of fire coral which are expected to grow like fire.The Location:Man on Fire was installed 8 meters deep at the Manchones Reef nearby to Isla Mujeres.Behind the Scenes:The sculpture was cast from a local Mexican fisherman and it weighs over 1 ton.The Silent EvolutionThe Visual:Here more than 400 sculptures depict the timeline of human nature.The Meaning:It is a documentation of how society and people have changed over time. It is also to remind us of how we are connected to nature.The Hope:The installation is designed for forming a complex reef structure that marine life will claim as its own and inhabit.The Location:The Silent Evolution will be installed 8 meters deep behind the Manchones Reef.Behind the Scenes:The total installation will expand over 150 square meters and will weigh over 120 tons.Attention:Guided tours are a must. You can catch a tour fromAquaworld, which leaves every hour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.【小题1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?AYou can tour individually without a tourist guide by glass boat.BThe Gardener of Hope will remind us of the relationship with nature.CBottled messages are filled with live coral cuttings for future generations.DMan on Fire can educate us to protect the limited natural resources.【小题2】Which sculptures are installed in the same area?AMan on Fire & The Silent EvolutionBThe Archive of Lost Dreams & Man on FireCThe Gardener of Hope & The Silent EvolutionDThe Archive of Lost Dreams & The Gardener of Hope【小题3】The writer introduces the sculptures to _.Adefend Mexican Tourism Industry Bcall on us to go on a tour to AquaworldCappeal to readers to protect Marine LifeDattract tourists to the Underwater Museum19、DNA left at a crime scene could be used in the future to build up a picture of an offenders face, it was revealed tonight.A first step towards genetic mugshots has been taken by researchers in the US who link specific DNA markers with face shape. To identify the genes, they focused on known mutations(突变) that cause changes of the face and head. Normal versions of these genes were found to influence individual features.For instance, one gene affected the lips, another the shape and configuration of bones around the eyes, and a third the appearance of the mid-face and skull. In total, 20 genes had “significant effects” on facial appearance.Lead scientist Professor Mark Shriver, from Pennsylvania State University, said: “We use DNA to match to an individual or identify an individual, but you can get so much more from DNA. Currently we cant go from DNA to a face, or from a face to DNA, but it should be possible.” The implications are far reaching, raising the possibility of creating a data bank of facial types based on genetic markers. DNA from a crime scene could then be used to produce a rough image of the face of an offender or victim. Such genetic mugshots may be more reliable than computer-generated “e-fits” based on witnesses recollections. Other uses of the technique might include proving the identity of fathers in paternity cases, or visualising our remote ancestors from fossil DNA.The scientists wrote in the online journal Public Library of Science Genetics: “Such predictive modelling could be forensically useful; for example, DNA left at crime scenes could be tested and faces predicted in order to help to narrow the pool of potential suspects. Further, our methods could be used to predict the facial features of descendants, deceased ancestors, and even extinct human species. In addition, these methods could prove to be useful diagnostic tools.” The team developed a model which first established a range of physical face shapes from people of mixed West African and European ancestry from the US, Brazil and Cape Verde. Measurements were taken of thousands of point co-ordinates on grids placed over 3D images of the faces.Statistical methods were then used to determine the relationship between facial differences and the effects of gender, ethnic ancestry and individual gene variants.【小题1】The underlined word “mugshots” in the second paragraph most probably means _.Adifferent facesBcharacteristicsCpictures of faces Dgenders【小题2】What can be inferred from the passage?A. DNA has been used to build up a picture of an offenders face.B. It may be much easier to catch criminals with the help of DNA.C. In all, 20 genes had “significant effects” on facial appearance.D. One gene can affect more than one part of your face.【小题3】According to Professor Mark Shriver, we know_.Athey can merely match to an individual or identify an individualBthere is a possibility of going from DNA to a faceCDNA could be used to produce a rough image of an offenders faceDthis technology is more reliable than computer-generated “e-fits”【小题4】What is the most possible title of the passage?ACreating a data bank of DNABRecognizing the DNA of criminalsCPredicting the location of offence using DNADBuilding image of offenders face from DNA20、British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.Bunyans style was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.Bunyans works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrims Progress (1684). The Pilgrims Progress is the most successful
