三、阅读理解
A【原创】
China is preparing to launch people to a prototype space station for the first time, and the crew may include the first female Chinese astronaut, or taikonaut.
Chinese space agency officials have selected an initial group of potential crew members for the upcoming mission, which will be China's first manned docking. The batch includes female astronauts, according to state news agency Xinhua.
The mission, called Shenzhou 9, is expected to launch between June and August 2012. It will dock with the nation's Tiangong 1 ("Heavenly Palace") space lab module, the prototype for a grand mannedspace station China plans to establish by 2020.
Shenzhou 9's predecessor, Shenzhou 8, was a robotic mission that achieved China's first orbital docking maneuver when it linked up twice with Tiangong 1 in November 2011.
"The perfect docking between Shenzhou-8 and Tiangong-1 has laid the perfect foundation for the manned docking this year," Niu Hongguang, deputy commander-in-chief of the country's manned space program and deputy head of the General Armament Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, told Xinhua.
Niu added that Shenzhou 9's manned docking will feature new technology not used on the previous maneuvers.
So far, six taikonauts have launched on three missions to orbit, but all have been male. China put its first human in space with the 2003 launch of its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, on the Shenzhou 5 mission.
The finalists for Shenzhou 9 are currently in training, and the three astronauts selected to launch on the mission will not be chosen until closer to liftoff.
Tiangong 1 has been operating autonomously in orbit since its launch in September 2011. Shenzhou 9 is planned to lift off atop a Chinese Long March 2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Inner Mongolia.
1. It is expected that the mission will launch .
A. between June and August 2012
B. by 2020
C. in November 2011
D. in September 2011
2. The underlined word “upcoming” can be replaced by .
A. approaching B. following C. present D. past
3. It will be the time for China to carry out such mission.
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. the crew may include the first female Chinese astronaut.
B. Shenzhou 9, is expected to launch between June and August 2012.
C. Shenzhou 9 is plans to be established by 2020.
D. Shenzhou 9 is planed to be launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
5. What is the article mainly about
A. China will launch Shenzhou 9.
B. China will select a female astronaut.
C. China has launched Shenzhou 9 successfully.
D. China will launch Tiangong 1.
【解析】1. A 根据第三段首句The mission, called Shenzhou 9, is expected to launch between June and August 2012.
2. B 根据后面句子which will be China's first manned docking，说明这件事将要进行，所以选择following。
3. B. 根据倒数第三段首句So far, six taikonauts have launched on three missions to orbit, but all have been male.
4. C. 根据第三段尾句It will dock with the nation's Tiangong 1 ("Heavenly Palace") space lab module, the prototype for a grand mannedspace station China plans to establish by 2020.可知C项表述不正确。
5. 主旨大意题。 本文讲的是中国将要发射“神州九号”。

【泗水一中2012—2013学年高一上学期期末模拟试题】
Because of the change in the American public school system over the last several years, now many parents choose to home-school their children. There are many reasons behind this. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
For some parents, they have religious (宗教的) reasons for home-schooling. The public school system does not have religious teachings, so these parents want to put religion into the children’s daily school activities. This might include teaching religion-based courses rather than coursework that is taught in public schools.
For some parents, they do not feel that their local school system offers their children the best learning opportunities. So they want to take matters into their own hands. This may be because the local school has low educational standards (标准) or for some other reason the parents think it necessary to take their children out of the system. Sometimes the parents just feel the children will get a better education at home.
Some parents may not be rich enough to send their children to a private school, so the next best thing in their eyes is home-schooling. Thus they can teach their children what they like.
One should remember that the laws about home-schooling vary from state to state. In some states, the parents are required to hand in monthly attendance records (出席记录) to their local school system. What’s more, most states require state testing at certain periods such as the CRCT.
64. The writer wrote this passage mainly to _______.
A. advise parents to home-school their children[]
B. explain why some parents choose to home-school their children
C. tell us the advantages and disadvantages of home-schooling
D. praise home-schooling and private schools
65. Paragraph 3 tells us that some parents choose home-schooling because ______.
A. school teachers are not strict with their children
B. their children don’t do well in their studies at school
C. their children don’t like going to school
D. they are not satisfied with the school education
66. What does the underlined word “vary” in the last paragraph mean
A. Increase B. Change C. Spread D. Keep
67. How many reasons for home-schooling are mentioned in the passage
A. 2 B. 4 C. 3 D. 5
【考点】议论文
