Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programmes come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour —exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the earth with its antennae(天线) facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit. So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the earth. A satellite usually works for about 10~12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
4. Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage
A. Sending information for weather forecast.
B. Taking photographs of the earth.
C. Sending TV pictures.
D. Providing food for airplane pilots.
5. What's the speed the earth rotates（旋转） at
A. 35,880 kilometers per hour. B. 335,880 kilometers per hour.
C. 11,000 kilometers per hour. D. 110,000 kilometers per hour.

C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky. D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
7. Which is TRUE of satellites

Dear Mary,
It was so nice to read your letter the other day. I have always dreamed about having a pen friend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be the very best of friends. It is my wish that our letters will let us get to know each other and share parts of our lives.
Your horse Shannon sounds beautiful. I am very jealous (羡慕的) that you get to live on a farm. I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love to come and visit you one day. Your siblings (兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.
Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the whole place is full of things to do.
I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though. I will have to go to my local library and find some. I also enjoy dancing and often enter competitions. My other favorite hobby is ice skating. In winter, I skate in Central Park. In the other seasons, I go to an indoor rink (溜冰场). I am hoping to start entering ice skating competitions next year.
Anyway, I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!
Lots of love,
Megan

7.考查名词的数。句意：在学期结束时，我成为班上最好的球员之一。one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词。故将player改为players。
8.考查介词。句意：我真的为这次经历感到骄傲，因为它让我意识到，我们都可以通过努力工作来实现我们的潜力和目标。be proud of sth对……感到骄傲。故将with改为of。
9.考查名词性从句。句意：我真的为这次经历感到骄傲，因为它让我意识到，我们都可以通过努力工作来实现我们的潜力和目标。本句为宾语从句，从句句意完整，且不缺少成分，所以用连接代词that引导。that只起连接作用，不充当任何成分。故将that后的what去掉。
10.考查连词。句意：我真的为这次经历感到骄傲，因为它让我意识到，我们都可以通过努力工作来实现我们的潜力和目标。前后是并列关系而非转折关系。故将but改为and。
