Astronaut Yang Liwei became Chinas first space man.With a column of beautiful smoke, the Shenzhou V craft cut across a bright northwest China sky at exactly 9:00 a.m. Wednesday and went into orbit 10 minutes later. China Central Televisions Channel One cut into its regular programming to announce the launch. The station later showed the Shenzhou V streaking(moving very fast)into the sky and disappearing, its tracer billowing (to fill with air and become larger)behind it. Minutes after the launch, a CCTV announcer said that Shenzhou V and 38-year-old Yang Liwei, an air force pilot since 1983, had “entered orbit at 9:10.” It reported Yang was “reading a flight manual(手册) in the capsule of the Shenzhou V spacecraft and looked composed and at ease.”The Shenzhou V launch came after four test launches of unmanned capsules that orbited the earth for nearly a week before parachuting back to Chinas northern grasslands. Reports said the manned flight was expected to last about 22 hours. President Hu Jintao watched the launch at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest Chinas Gansu Province. Hu called the launch “the glory of our great motherland and a mark for the initial victory of the countrys first manned space flight and for the significant, historic step of the Chinese people in the advance of climbing over the peak of the worlds science and technology.”He said that: “The Party and the people will never forget those who have set up the outstanding merit(贡献) in the space industry for the motherland, the people and the nation.”“The launch of the Shenzhou V is long-awaited by the Chinese people,” Foreign Minister spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said on Tuesday.

Yang trained himself well and felt very satisfied with everything in the space craft BSome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” ”Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.” Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.46. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair47. The underlined word “Approach” in the second paragraph means _.A. plan for dealing with things B. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing things D. way of doing things48.

From the text, we can learn that the writer was _.A. honest B. carefulC. smart D. funnyCSelf-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities(operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veterans hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal governments Public Health Service.Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most would-be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians also take care of each others patients in emergencies.Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.51. According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by _. A. a church B. a corporation C. a city D. a state52. The expenses for becoming a doctor are spent on _.A. setting up a medical practice B. practice in a hospitalC. facilities he or she uses D. education he or she receives53. According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an independent physician in the USA?A. About seven years. B. About eight years. C. About ten years. D. About twelve years.54. Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because _.A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care all of themB. they can take turns to work long hoursC. facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to shoulderD. no one wants to assume too much responsibility55. Which of the following statements could fully express the authors view towards physicians payment in the USA?A. For their expensive education and their responsibility, they deserve a handsome pay.B. It is reasonable for physicians to have a large income because their work is very dangerous.C. Physicians should be better paid because they work long hours under bad conditions.D. Physicians have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well rewarded.第四部分：单词和短语拼写 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 根据单词的首字母或括号里面汉语的意思填上相应的单词和短语56.
