hundreds of sites where you can get information about a hotel but inside the hotel itself the rooms are largely a black box said Kevin Fleiss the site s general manager and vice president of product Often you don t know anything about your room until you really step inside it To deal with that problem Room 77 carries out a hotel s floor plan with Google Maps to determine the exact place of each individual room Based on the request users make e g high or low floor importance of a view etc room choices are various each one with a computer generated clear image 图像 of the real view At the Hyatt Regency Waikiki for example rooms 1010 and 1410 are both considered Grand Ocean View Double On Room 77 however you quickly discover that the former looks right into the Waikiki Police Station the latter over the top of it All Grand Ocean View Doubles it seems are not equal At this point you can only search within a hotel you ve re selected but still there s no general hotel search feature and there s no guarantee that you ll get the exact room you ve chosen although the company is working on both ideas There is however an iPone app an especially handy tool when a dishonest front desk clerk claims no better rooms are available Instead of going upstairs and deciding your room s not a good match you can see it for yourself along for choices said Fleiss It s all at your fingertips 45 The underlined part probably means the rooms are A large in size B badly lighted C too expensive D mostly unknown to guests 46 The author gives the example in the third paragraph to say that A it s easy

satellite passed over the West Coast and near Auckland before burning up over a remote area of the Pacific Ocean Nasa maps show The 20 year old Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite UARS dropped about 24 pieces of metal debris 碎片 over 800 km as it entered Earth s atmosphere on Saturday Nasa data tracks its descent 下落 from above the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa to the Pacific Ocean at 14 1 degrees south latitude and 189 8 degrees east longitude New Zealand was the only major land mass on its re entry path Nasa says satellite debris scattered 撒落 over the south Pacific Ocean about as far away from large land masses as you can get It says the US Air Force calculated the satellite entered Earth s atmosphere generally above American Samoa But pieces of it did not start hitting the water for another 480 kilometres to the northeast southwest of Christmas Island Experts believe the metal pieces fell over an 800 kilometre span On Saturday scientists said it was possible some pieces could have reached northwestern Canada but Nasa said overnight that new calculations show it landed earlier than they thought nowhere near North America Nick Johnson Nasa s chief scientist for orbital debris said the satellite had descended well within the range predicted 预测 by the Joint Space Operations Center JSOC This was not an easy re entry to predict because of the natural forces acting on the satellite as its orbit decayed 轨道变形 Some other nations around the world also were monitoring the satellite s descent in the last two hours and all the predictions were well within the range estimated by JSOC UARS was launched aboard space shuttle Discovery in 1991 Nasa stopped using the satellite in 2005 after moving it into a lower orbit that cut its life short by 20 years 49 Which is the right re entry path of the falling satellite A IO NZ PO B A IO NA C PO IO NZ D IO PO NA IO Indian Ocean NZ New Zealand PO Paciflc Ocean A Africa NA North America 50 Which is true about the debris according to the text A Some reached North America B Few fell about American Samoa C Some reached the sea a little later D Most dropped onto the land and some into the Pacific 5 51 What can we infer from Nick Johnson s words A JSOC did a good job in predicting B The satellite descended in a set way C The satellite was controlled by JSOC D It was not easy for the satellite to re enter 52 From the text we can know that the satellite was at first designed to use for about A 15 years B 20 years C 35 years D 40 years D One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success I see individuals getting frustrated 挫败 as they struggle hard for success One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition 定义 of success to be determined by someone or something else Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent 表面的 lack of success when comparing themselves to other people We are individuals with individual wants skills and experiences We should look our own skills to determine what is successful to us We should look inward to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else s Evaluating 评价 a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success his actions his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself You must set your own course of action and stay on your course You alone must determine what success means to you Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself For example I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life Here is the truth Being a success is doing your best not being the best Success is not something you become it is something you continue being When we get to that point we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration And that sounds good to us Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill If you cannot do great things do small things in a great way 53 In talking about success the author thinks people feel frustrated because they A often fail B struggle too hard C know little about themselves D care too much about others thoughts 54 What does the author ask us to do A Believe success is ahead B Learn from others to succeed 6 C Gain as more skills as possible D Set a suitable goal and stick to it 55 Which is true according to the text A It is important to do small things B What matters is the course of trying to succeed C You will be successful once you ve made up your mind D Whether one can succeed depends on his determination E Gary Kidd had a pretty good idea that what his 3 year old grandson had found was no rock but the tooth of a woolly mammoth 猛犸 That s because he had found one himself nine years ago Kaleb Kidd was catching some squirrels last Monday near La Crosse when he spotted what looked like an unusual rock Grandpa what s that Kaleb asked He told his grandson it looked like the tooth of the extinct 灭绝 woolly mammoth Next stop was the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin which proved that it was indeed the tooth of a mammoth Connie Arzigian the center s lab director said it could be 10 000 to 30 000 years old It weighs 2 pounds and measures 15 centimeters long and 7 6 centimeters wide The center already has a woolly mammoth tooth in its collection but it s always fun to see someone discover another one Arzigian said It s wonderful to get an idea of what was here in the past she said The latest find is in better shape than the one Gary Kidd brought up from the bottom of the Mississippi River while clamming 捕蛤蚧 in 1998 That tooth was water soaked and had fallen apart he was told when he took it to the center Gary Kidd 46
