To form a picture of this, you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk (杰克与魔豆). This is the story of a boy who grew a beanstalk that reached the heavens. Jack climbed the stalk and entered another world. The space elevator is similar but of course much more high-tech and better yet, it is real!Astrophysicists are designing a steel-like cable (缆绳) that will be connected to a platform (平台) in the ocean. This cable is designed to be pulled up into space, where it will then be connected to a space station. People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year 2020. There will be a number of space elevators so that both tourists and businesses can travel into space. To get there, space tourists will simply travel to the nearest ocean elevator entrance. The trip up into space will take about a week. When they arrive, space tourists will be inside a space station and will be able to stay there. There are other alternatives, too. Astronomers think it will be easy to travel from the space station to the moon, where space tourists can stay in a moon hotel which is now being designed.The future looks bright for space tourists. It also looks bright for industry and scientists. Mining companies will travel to space to mine elements (元素) that are rare on Earth. Energy scientists will travel to space to set up space solar panels, which will collect a huge amount of energy from the sun and shoot it back to Earth where we can use it to heat our homes and meet our energy needs.24. What does Jack and the Beanstalk help readers understand?A. The difficulty of building space elevators.B. What material space elevators would use.C. What space elevators would look like.D. The reason for inventing space elevators.25. What can we infer about space elevators?A. Theyre accepting pre-paid bookings.B. Theyll be available in the near future.C. Theyre mainly used for scientific study.D. Theyll offer people a seven-day round trip.26. What does the underlined word “alternatives” (in Para. 2) mean?A. Advantages. B. Purposes. C. Entries. D. Choices.27. What is the authors attitude towards space elevators?A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Positive.CWe know cats like to hide in boxes and knock things over. But if you make a square on your floor, what will your cat do? Turns out a lot of cats will get inside it. Amazed cat owners repeated the experiment, often with tape(带子), but others with squares made out of ribbon, sheets of paper and even shoes.Cat experts weigh inSo what makes cats so interested in a square on the floor?“We know that cats like safe spaces. Its possible that the mark on the floor creates some illusion(幻觉) on the floor that doesnt actually exist,” says cat behavior expert Mikel Delgado. “It might have enough similarity to a low-sided box that a lot of cats are attracted to it for safety.”Another cat behavior expert Ingrid Johnson agrees. “I would imagine they probably feel as if they are in something. Though shallow, still comforting, offers the idea of sides,” she says. Johnson points out that cats have poor close-up sight, so they may have the idea that the tape is actually the sides of a square area. “Their sight is built for distance and speed, watching a mouse run across the field,” she says. “Close up, theyre blind 8 to 12 inches off their noses.”Kitty curiosity(好奇心)Another reason cats are attracted by the square? Pure curiosity.Because cats are very sensitive to their environment, the tape square might be attracting them just because its new and different, she says. The same thing would likely happen if you put a piece of cardboard or a paper bag on the floor. A lot of cats would check it out.28. Which is most probably the purpose of the cat owners experiment?A. To check whether it is true.B. To test how smart their cats are.C. To play a joke on their cats.D. To show their love to the cats.29. Which can best replace the underlined part “weigh in”?A. Express their ideas.B. Judge the cats weight.C. Put in a word.D. Give some examples.30. Why are cats attracted to a square?A. For fun.B. For comfort. C. For safety. D. For quietness.31. Which is WRONG according to the whole passage?A. Cat owners made squares with different materials.B. Cats prefer to lie in a low-sided box.C. Cats have shorter sights when in boxes.D. Cats curiosity depends on the environment.DWhen planning a vacation, many people consider the popular tourist sites they want to visit. But thats not what my husband and I did when we planned our vacation toJapan. We thought about the kind of farm we wanted to visit.Ours was far from a typical (典型的) vacation. We were WWOOFing! WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic (有机的) Farms. The organization connects people interested in organic farming. Volunteers, known as WWOOFers, help their hosts with daily activities. These include everything from baking bread to picking vegetables. Hosts provide volunteers with food and provide a place for them to stay.My husband and I certainly felt like family when our host met us at the train station. She told us to call her Okasan Mom. Likewise, we called her husband Otosan Dad. Okasan and Otosan own an organic vegetable farm that tries to provide the local people with fresh, healthy food. When no WWOOFers are around to help, the farm work is done only by Otosan and Okasan. As part of the family, we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor at every meal. Eating fresh vegetables three times a day combined with six hours of farm work, certainly did our bodies good. We planted vegetables and cleared rocks from fields. We also packed the vegetables so they could be sold at the market.Perhaps the most challenging thing we did was weeding a rice field. It was quite challenging because the leaves and roots of the weeds look very similar to the rice. Its not until both plants are mature (成熟的) that you can clearly tell them apartonly one produces rice.WWOOFing is unlike anything Ive ever done before, and I cant wait to do it again! Lets WWOOF!32. What do we know about WWOOF?A. It belongs to a Japanese farm.B. It helps the poor do farm work.C. It provides tourists with hotels.D. It is an organization connected with farming.33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 about Okasan and Otosans farm?A. It benefits both the locals and WWOOFers.B. It attracts many visitors every day.C. It provides free food for the locals.D. It is supported by the government.34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The method of producing rice.B. The hard time of the farm family.C. The difficulties in weeding a rice field.D. The most challenging thing for WWOOF.35. The author would most likely describe her WWOOFing as _.A. satisfyingB. worrying C. boringD. tiring第二节 （共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
