Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of
China’s space science. As a world-famous
expert on aerospace rockets and aerodynamics,
he obtained great achievements in the areas
of applied mechanics, engineering cybernetics
and system engineering and made
distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking(事业).
Graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master’s degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
In 1955, six years after the founding of People’s Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen put forward “Proposal on the Development of China’s Aviation Industry for National Defense”. With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China’s first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth（从此以后）, he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China’s missile, rocket and spacecraft.
Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch the satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring（高声播放） the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
As a forerunner leading the development of China’s aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China’s manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. “He suggested that the rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists. This suggestion gave us chances to be general designers. ” Recalling the experience working with Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, general designer of China’s
lunar orbiter project, is very grateful. “He put great expectation on us and trusted us a lot. Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future. ”
Honored as Father of China’s Missile and King of Rockets, Qian Xuesen never stopped his work on scientific research after he retired. He said he had no time to review the past, but looked forward to the future.

（B）
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods. We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cellphone and credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We find amazing things in the street. She looks upon it as a movable dinner. Chicken wings here and there.
I found another cellphone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sister’s and that he’d swing by to pick it up, which he did. And that was that. No verbal (口头的) thank-you, no written thank-you, no “Here’s a box of chocolates” thank-you.
I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate (颤动) and dance across the kitchen counter.
“Who’s this ” someone asked when I picked up.
“Who’s this ” I countered. “Sarah ”
She was taken aback until she realized her name was on the credit card I also had recovered. “Could you send it to me ” she asked.
She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.
“Hmm, no, ” I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasn’t home, they would be in my mailbox.
A day later, when I was out for a run, someone retrieved them. But I got nothing. In this age of e-mail and cellphones, there’s really no excuse.
Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill in the street: a driver’s license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up. He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.
“I guess I could, ” I replied.
And that was that.
5. What would be the best title for the text
A. Several Experiences of My Own
B. “Thank You” Is Becoming More Priceless
C. It’s Polite to Thank the Finders
D. Only Losers Lack “Thank” for Finders

6. According to the text, it can be inferred that Maggie should be __________.
A. the author’s wife
B. the author’s pet
C. the author’s best friend
D. the author’s son
【解析】选B。推理判断题。由文章第一段“She looks upon it as a movable dinner. Chicken wings here and there”可知，既然她把人扔在地上的鸡骨头看作是她的美餐，这说明Maggie应该是作者的一只宠物。故答案选B。
7. The author didn’t call anyone on his latest found cellphone because __________.
A. it wasn’t worth to do
B. he wanted to keep it as his own
C. he was busy then
D. he didn’t know its owner
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由文章第三段“I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone”可知，当时作者很忙，所以没有来得及打电话。故答案选C。
8. The underlined word “retrieved” in the ninth paragraph means “________”.
A. got back B. returned
C. lost D. threw away
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。文章前面提到作者让失主前来认领，并且后文又提到作者并没有得到任何感谢之类的话，所以可以判断该词的意思是“取回”。故答案选A。

With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China’s first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth(从此以后), he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China’s missile, rocket and spacecraft.
Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch the satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring(高声播放) the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
As a forerunner leading the development of China’s aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China’s manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. “He suggested that the rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists. This suggestion gave us chances
to be general designers. ” Recalling the experience working with Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, general designer of China’s lunar orbiter project, is very grateful. “He put great expectation on us and trusted us a lot. Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future. ”
Honored as Father of China’s Missile and King of Rockets, Qian Xuesen never stopped his work on scientific research after he retired. He said he had no time to review the past, but looked forward to the future.

［2011怀宁模拟］
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pest and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it
You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number
But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accident, or fire Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England—one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful business person, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi driver I should find a car a necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent. One is mechanical invention,
and the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

expert on aerospace rockets and

achievements in the areas of applied
mechanics, engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking(事业).
Graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master’s degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
In 1955, six years after the founding of People’s Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles.

(B)
Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores(杂事), or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying “Do your chores now. ” you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for him when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing
about starting chores, just say, “If chores aren’t done by 4 p. m. , here are the consequences. ”Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don’t argue or fight with them, just say, “That’s the way it’s going to be. ”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores aren’t done by 4 p. m. , then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that’s going
to be your loss. ”On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.
If a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him, make no bones about it; he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones — even if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.
5. According to the passage, it seldom happens that ______ .

B. it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents
C. parents shouldn’t give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect
D. kids’ purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control

Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of
China’s space science. As a world-famous
expert on aerospace rockets and
aerodynamics, he obtained great
achievements in the areas of applied
mechanics, engineering cybernetics and
system engineering and made distinguished
contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese
aerospace undertaking(事业).
Graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study in MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one year later. After receiving master’s degree in MIT, he went to study in California Institute of Technology and received PhD degrees in both aerospace and mathematics.
In 1955, six years after the founding of People’s Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen put forward“Proposal on the Development of China’s Aviation Industry for National Defense”. With the support from Zhou Enlai, the premier, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen, Qian Xuesen began to prepare for the establishment of China’s first missile and rocket research and development structure, the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. Henceforth(从此以后), he has long been in charge of the chief technological research and development of China’s missile, rocket and spacecraft.
Due to research and development led by Qian Xuesen, China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964. Later, China launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, to the earth orbit on April 24, 1970, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently launch the satellite following the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USA, France and Japan. The satellite floated around the earth, blaring(高声播放) the song Dong Fang Hong, which has the same name as the satellite.
As a forerunner leading the development of China’s aerospace science and technology, Qian Xuesen also provided chances for young scientists. Wang Yongzhi, former chief designer of China’s manned-space project, has benefited a lot from Qian Xuesen. “He suggested that the rocket of the second generation should be developed by our second generation scientists. This suggestion gave us chances to be general designers. ” Recalling the experience working
with Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, general designer of China’s lunar orbiter project, is very grateful. “He put great expectation on us and trusted us a lot. Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future. ”
Honored as Father of China’s Missile and King of Rockets, Qian Xuesen never stopped his work on scientific research after he retired. He said he had no time to review the past, but looked forward to the future.
