He had always enjoyed going to museums, particularly those where you can press buttons to make things work. He did not much like the sort where there are bones and bits of pots in glass cases; but I told him the Science Museum was not like this.When I mentioned to him that we were going to the Science Museum, he looked puzzled. He asked me what there was to see there, and when I replied that there was a collection of cars, trains and aeroplanes, and an imitation coalmine that you could walk into, he looked even more puzzled. But there was nothing he liked better than climbing on old railway engines, so he smiled and said he would come. I told him that we would see the models of all the worlds most famous ships, and of all the most useful machines that men had invented over the years; I told him that there was a part of a spaceship that you could go into, and imagine that you were far away from the earth; and I said that we would probably see a film showing the development of science from earliest times to the present day.But there was one thing I hadnt prepared my son for. Every afternoon at four oclock, a man switched on a very powerful electric current (电流)and makes it jump between two terminals（终端）,like a flash of lightning. There were notices making it clear that there would be a bright flash and a loud bangbut I had no idea just how loud it would be.When four oclock came, we stood with a large crowd of people near to where this event would take place. I lifted Robert up onto my shoulders so that be would be able to see the flash more clearlyand we waited. We had not waited more than a minute or so, when a very bright flash jumped across the terminals, and at the same time, a very loud bang made everyone in the audience jump. I could feel Robert shaking with the sudden shock of the noise. I lifted him back down onto the floor, and we left the museum.He said nothing until we were outside in the street. Then he looked up at me and said, “Why do they call it the Science Museum? It seems a very funny name to me.”61. The sort of museum that Robert liked was one where _.A. he could climb on things to make them workB. there were lots of bones and pots in glass casesC. there were glass cases full of things that had once workedD. he could press buttons so as to make things work62. The author told his son that the Science Museum contained _.A. transport of all sorts and a life-size model of a coalmineB. a real coalmine and lots of different types of transportC. old railway engines that worked at the touch of a buttonD. a coalmine in which people feels he is far away from the earth63. The “ one thing” in the first sentence of the third paragraph refers to that the author didnt tell his son_.A. about the electric flash of lighteningB. about the loud bang the flash of lightning might give offC. the reason why there would be a flash of lighteningD. the reason why there would be a loud bang64. The author said that there would be models of _.A. science from earliest times to the present dayB. the earth as seen from part of a spaceshipC. all sorts of machines and famous shipsD. machines that people could go into65. The author thought they might see a film about _.A. the development of transport over the yearsB. the history of space-flight from earliest times to the present dayC. mans understanding and use of all sorts of machinesD. the history and growth of mans knowledge about the worldBThe luxury of eating an apple on Mars could cost as much as US $22,000. Thats because it costs about US $120,000 to launch a kilogram of anything into deep space. So getting enough food into orbit is a big problem facing astronauts on a trip to Mars.After NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) successfully landed Mars rover (漫游者) “Spirit”, which is now capable of moving more quickly across the rough surface of the red planet, it starts the plans to send astronauts to Mars, so related research is being carried out including the production of food. Astronauts on the international Space Station currently eat primarily freeze-dried food to which they add water. However, the weight of the packagingalmost as much as the food insidecosts a lot of money. The biggest problem of all is a psychological（心理上的）one.Scientists believe that astronauts will suffer without the variety offered by fresh vegetables.The answer is to grow at least some of the food. On a short trip it is imagined that astronauts will eat vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and carrots grown in a refrigerator-sized unit known as a “ salad machine”. On longer journeys they will actually grow vegetables in greenhouses on Mars. Martian astronauts will eat a vegetarian diet since it will not be practical to raise animals.To make up for the lack of meat, prescriptions（处方）have been created to add as much variety to the diet as possible, using only a basic number of products. NASA thinks people survive quite happily on just fifteen products. It uses heat and mechanical force to transform soybeans into meat and cheese replace- ment. The prized result of this research is a purely vegetable-based pizza with meat and cheese replacement.66. What is the best title for this story?A. Space FoodB. Astronauts ProblemC. The Packaging of Space FoodD. Mars RoverSpirit67. What is the main problem with the diet of astronauts on the international Space Station now?A. The packaging is too expensiveB. Only fresh vegetables are offeredC. Too much water is needed for dried foodD. There are not enough choices of food68. What is the “ salad machine” in the spaceship for?A. It stores vegetablesB. It grows vegetablesC. It cooks green saladD. It mixes green salad69. The underlined word “transform” in the last paragraph most probably means _.A. replaceB. changeC. removeD. produce70. What can we guess wont possibly be included in the diet plan for Martian astronauts?A. VegetablesB. Cheese replacementC. MeatD. SoybeansCAmerican women experience a great variety of lifestyles. A typical American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, a doctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitudes about themselves and their roles in American life.Historically, American women have always been very independent. The first settlers to come to New England were ten young couples that had left behind their extended family. The women were alone in a new , undeveloped country with their husbands. This had two important effects. First of all, this is the uncivilized environment that demanded every person to share in developing it and in survival. Women worked with their husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this new land. Second, because they were in a new land without the established influence of older members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.This role of women was strengthened in later years as Americans move west, again leaving family behind and meeting a new environment. Even later, in the East, as new settlers arrived, women often found jobs more easily than men. Women became the supporters of the family.Within the established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century, the strong role of women was not as attractive as in the early days of the country. Some women stepped into the mens jobs as factory and business workers. After the war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their jobs with a new sense of ability.71. A typical American women is _.A. single or marriedB. divorcedC. sure about herself and her roleD. all of the above72. The second paragraph is mainly about _.A. life in the new landB. American womens independenceC. American mens traditional positionD. the roles American women play in society73. During the industrialized twentieth century, the role of women _.A. was found out B. was as important as beforeC. declined（衰弱）D. was stronger than that of the early days74. Women took part in mens jobs during the time of _.A. the Second World WarB. the Westward MovementC. the early immigrationD. the industrialized twentieth century75. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Different lifestyles led by American womenB. American women were free to step into nontraditional roles in society.C. American women worked hard to establish their American history.D. American women were independent because they did not have to follow the regulations at all.高二年级第二学期第一次月考英语试卷第二卷班级姓名学号得分I短文改错（10分）Yesterday evening, I went to see a film calling1._“The Living Forest”.
