三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
In many stories on TV and in science fiction, humans can travel to stars far away. But so far, people have only been able to get to the moon.
What if a person wants to get to a star far away It would take a lifetime to travel. People would have to move at least at the speed of light. But in fact, nothing has been found that can move faster than light.
Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second (秒), or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels about 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles. That great distance is called a light year (光年). It is used to measure (测量) the distance in space.
Strange things happen to an object when it moves very fast. If an object moves at the speed of light, it will be heavier than it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A person would not age so fast in space as on the earth.
Alpha Centauri (半人马座阿尔法星) is the closest star system to the solar system. It is over four light years away. So if a human travelled at the speed of light, it would take him nearly nine years to go to Alpha Centauri and come back.
1. About the speed of light, which of the following is true
A. Light travels about 11 million miles a second.
B. Light travels less than 186,000 miles a minute.
C. Light travels about 11 million miles an hour.
D. Light travels about 6 trillion miles a year.
2. So far the farthest place humans have got to is_____.
A. Alpha Centauri B. the sun C. the moon D. the earth
3. The underlined word "age" means _____ in Chinese.
A. 老年 B. 变老 C. 年龄 D. 时代
4. It would take a person _____ to get to Alpha Centauri at the speed of light.
A. more than 4 years B. less than 2 years C. about 9 years D. about 11 years
5. What's the best title for this article
A. The Distance Between the Sun and Other Stars
B. How to Travel to Alpha Centauri
C. Nothing Can Move Faster Than Light
D. Life Is Too Short
B
Today is 15th December, 2030. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.
The interest in trips, 100 km above the surface of the earth, has grown steadily since such a trip began. However, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost spacelines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It's very reasonable.
Space tourism (旅游业) is one of the markets that has developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starbright Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average households, so the I suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness! during the three-hour flight will for some time be the most popular trip.
However, the spacelines might in the future face fierce competition between space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to send cargos to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes I successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the spacelines.
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first.
1. From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2031
A. A gift card will be taken to Mars. B. Mars will be explored for the first time.
C. Man will go to Mars for the first time. D. An affordable space trip will come true.
2. The underlined "average" can most probably be replaced by ______ in this passage.
A. common B. high-income C. low-cost D. low-income
3. What is the space elevator's purpose of accepting passengers as soon as possible
A. To send cargos to space.
B. To get in the competition between spacelines.
C. To start the construction of more space elevators.
D. To get back the large investment.
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.
B. A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.
C. The suborbital flight will be the most popular trip for some time.
D. Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still need to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out.
5. We can know from the passage that _____.
A. the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip began
B. within two years, space elevators will begin to send cargos and people to space
C. during the suborbital fights, you will experience 30 minutes' weightlessness
D. if you want to meet your curiosity, you may try a suborbital fight
四、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because only a few big ones hurt people. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake.
If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.
If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run outside or rush for the exits (出口). Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard to get out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up.

1. Hide ________, if you are indoors during an earthquake.
2. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights because these could ________.
