Reading Comprehension: (35分)Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The majority of astronauts from America have been men. At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts.Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers). It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffes place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.(请涂在答题卡65题处)65.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A.

The Training Programme(B)A is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious （勤恳的）way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesnt make career advance.You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of being good at office politicsa better job, a raise, praisemany people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game. ”“Some people feel that office politics means some manipulative（工于心计的）behavior, ”says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics comes from the word polite. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expecting something in return. ”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to gain ones own interest in the workplace. In many cases, this includes some form of socializing within the office environment-not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis, ”says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three people are up for a promotion,each of whom has similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. Its simple human nature. ”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others mistake politics for flattery （奉承）, fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favor.Experts suggest changing this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.69.What does “office politics” mean according to the passage?A. The code of behavior for company staff.B. The political views and beliefs of office workers.C. The interpersonal relationships within a company.D. The various qualities required for a successful career.70.To get promoted, one must not only be capable but _.A. give his boss a good impression B. honest and loyal to the companyC. get along well with his company D. avoid being excellent71.It is the authors view that _.A. speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC. hard work has very little to do with ones promotionD. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery(C)Special trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.
