Will Smith jumped into a live volcano and kayaked （划皮艇） down an Icelandic whitewater river for his latest project.But he wasn't making an action movie.It was personal.
Smith，a Hollywood leading man who admits that he's far from enjoying outdoor activities，has put himself in danger while filming Welcome to Earth，a Disney original series from National Geographic.He was afraid at that time，but he says "It's really difficult to enjoy things if you're scared.I think the ability to see how beautiful things are is directly connected to your openness to them and fear closes you down."
Smith says he was once scared of everything and hated water，but he learns to read the rapids （急流） while whitewater kayaking，rescues turtles near the Great Barrier Reef and goes 3，000 feet below the sea in a deep-water submarine.
Dr.Albert Lin，an engineer and explorer who has uncovered lost cities previously for National Geographic，was astonished to find that Smith was able to control his fears even in the face of real danger.While diving in the underground lake in Namibia，Smith got into trouble and Lin watched him "dropping at a rate that felt like maybe we wouldn't see him again." But Smith was able to control his mind and deal with the situation. "I respected Will Smith，the actor，before，but now I definitely have grown to truly respect Will Smith，the human being，" says Lin.
Produced by famous filmmaker Darren Aronofsky，the series carries on the tradition of National Geographic pushing the exploring envelope （极限） and employing the latest technology to help us understand our world. "I hope this can help people out there get a sense of how absolutely incredible our planet is，" says Lin.
The experts Smith has paired with teach him about speed，smell and sound and the colors out there he might miss. "You can't really want to protect something that you don't understand.And you can't want to protect something that you can't recognize as beautiful，" Smith says.

Along with a rising number of space missions by government agencies and private industries，comes a fresh set of problems for Earth：potentially dangerous space junk.
A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded "that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade".In other words，according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia，there's roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone.
The space junk orbiting the earth is an unfortunate by-product of our desire to explore and document space.According to 2021 figures from NASA and the Department of Defense's Space Surveillance Data，the agencies were actively tracking more than 27，000 pieces of space junk，most of which are larger than a softball and that casually orbit the planet.While the floating space junk is certainly a problem，not all the objects that went up must come down，and，in fact，a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere.But sometimes those objects，particularly large ones like used rocket attachments，give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth to be dealt with once again by their human makers.Typically，people don't die or even get injured by this phenomenon — many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean.
They also have to deal with the unsettling feeling of knowing that large rocket pieces can just fall from the sky and that it might affect people in certain parts of the world more than others.
This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. "When some large parts of space junk return to Earth，the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere.Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous，giving serious risks on land，at sea，and to people in airplanes，" the study explains.
8.What is the conclusion of the study published in Nature Astronomy？ ______
A. People will see space junk easily in the future.
B. Government agencies and private industries will develop fast.
C. Some people may be hit to death by objects from the space.
D. There will be a 10 percent chance for human to die in 10 years.
9.What can be inferred from the third paragraph？ ______
A. Normally we should not worry about space junk.
B. The large space junk will pollute the ocean.
C. The floating space junk will come down finally.
D. The space junk will get burnt in the sky.
10.What might be discussed in the following part of the text？ ______
A. How to find space junk.
B. How to deal with space junk.
C. How to inform people of the danger.
D. How to avoid the danger of space junk.
11.Which is the most suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Space Junk Causes Pollution.
B. How to Take Back Space Junk.
C. Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results.
D. Space Junk Puts People at Risk.
D
Today's amazing newspaper headline!
First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown's shoes.
No，not really.It isn't true.I invented it.But I wouldn't be surprised to see it one day soon.It seems that every week someone becomes"the first"or"the youngest"or "the oldest"or even"the first married couple"to do something that doesn't seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity.
This year I've seen headlines saying"The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone"，"The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest"，and"The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon".Why do they do it？Don't they have better things to do with their time and money？And why should I be interested anyway？
Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains，sailed across the oceans and flown around the world.People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet.Many of these things were done a long，long time ago.There just isn't anything left to explore nowadays.I suppose there's still a lot of the universe left，and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery，but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that.So，those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.So they have to try and do it in a new way，or be"the fastest"or"the youngest"or"the oldest"to do something that isn't really new at all.
What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway？It's become a popular tourist trip.People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas，who lead the way and carry the bags.At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down.As a result，Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up.The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety.Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain.
In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica.I'm not quite sure what they were trying to be"the first"or"the youngest"to do.The Chilean navy picked them up after a nine-hour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds，all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers.
Talking of taxpayers，many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers.A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia，so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them.There have been a lot of difficult，time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars.I suppose we can't just leave them to drown，but personally，I think we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for expensive insurance premiums（保费） .Then I wouldn't have to read about them in the newspapers either.
12.The writer invents the newspaper headline in paragraphs 1&2.to ______ .
A. persuade readers of a new trend
B. entertain readers with his humor
C. get readers interested in the topic
D. remind readers of an important event
13.By saying"It's become a popular tourist trip"，the writer means ______ .
A. Mount Everest is now covered with a lot of rubbish
B. climbing Mount Everest has already lost its true meaning
C. it's impossible to climb up Mountain Everest without help
D. people without experience may get in trouble or even danger
14.Which is the reason why many Australians dislike the record breakers？ ______
A. They have to pay for the costs of rescuing the record breakers.
B. The Australian navy was not something intended for rescue work.
C. The record breakers should pay for their insurance premiums themselves.
D. A great number of people try to break records in the seas around Australia.
15.Which of the following is the best title of the passage？ ______
A. It's All Been Done Before
B. Never Do Something New
C. You Are the Next Record Breaker
D. Be Responsible for Your Adventures

On Monday afternoons at two o'clock，my dog Beau and I would arrive at the Silver Spring Convalescent Center for an hour of pet therapy（宠物疗法） with the seniors who lived there.
Room 114 was home to Katherine's，a woman in her seventies who had stopped talking a few months earlier and had been living in a catatonic（木僵的） state in her wheelchair for the past month.I was told her family had stopped calling or visiting，and she had no friends.When Beau and I walked into her room，she was sitting in her wheelchair，her back toward us，facing the viewless window.
Beau was pulling ahead of me with his leash（牵绳）.Before I could get around to kneeling down in front of her，he was at her left side，with his head in her lap.I pulled a chair up in front of her and sat down，saying hello.No response.In the fifteen minutes that Beau and I sat with Katherine，she never said a word and never moved.Surprising as that may be，more surprising was that Beau never moved either.
If you knew Beau，you'd know that even ten seconds was long enough to wait for a petting.He would wiggle（摇） his body against anyone who was closest to his nose until they were forced to pet him，or he'd lose interest and find someone else.I became so uncomfortable with the lack of life in this woman that，much as I wished I felt differently，when the clock struck 2：30 PM.，I rushed to say goodbye，stood up and pulled the reluctant（不情愿的） Beau out.
Every Monday thereafter，Beau and I made a visit to room 114.Each visit I attempted to ask Katherine questions about her life and tell her about mine and Beau's.No response.I grew more and more frustrated.I figured we didn't really make a difference，so why did we bother to stop by？
注意：
续写词数应为 150左右。
On our fourth visit，I was ready to bypass Katherine's room，but Beau had other plans.___________
And then the most unbelievable thing happened.___________

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
8~11.【答案】C、A、B、D
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded"that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade" （最近发表在科学杂志《自然天文学》上的一项研究得出的结论是"目前的做法在十年内有10%的几率出现一人或多人伤亡"）和第二段第二句中的there's roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone（在未来十年里，大约有十分之一的几率将看到坠落的太空垃圾导致人死亡。）由此可知，该研究的结论是在未来，人们有可能会被太空中的坠落物砸死。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段第三至五句While the floating space junk is certainly a problem，not all that the objects that went up must come down，and，in fact，a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere.But sometimes those objects particularly large ones like spent rocket attachments give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth，to be dealt with，once again，by their human makers.Typically，people don't die or even get injured by this phenomenon much of the falling pieces crash into the ocean.（虽然漂浮的太空垃圾确实是个问题，但并不是所有上升的物体都一定会下降，事实上，许多碎片只是在大气层中燃烧，但有时那些物体会屈服于重力，落回地球，再次由人类制造商处理，通常情况下，人们不会因为这种现象死亡或受伤，因为许多坠落的碎片都会坠入海洋。）由此可推知，通常情况下，我们不必担心太空垃圾问题。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. "When some large parts of space junk return to Earth，the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere.Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous，giving serious risks on land，at sea，and to people in airplanes，" the study explains.（这对地面上的人构成了明显的安全风险。"当一些大部分太空垃圾返回地球时，它们的质量部分经受住了大气层的高温。许多幸存下来的碎片具有潜在的危险，给陆地、海洋和飞机上的人带来严重的风险，"该研究解释道。）可知文章接下来可能会阐述如何解决太空垃圾的问题。故选B。
（4）标题概括题。通读全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了当前太空中有太多的太空垃圾以及这些垃圾给人们带来的危险。D项符合文章主旨，适合做本文的标题。A.Space Junk Causes Pollution.太空垃圾造成污染；B.How to Take Back Space Junk.如何取回太空垃圾；C.Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results.探索太空会带来不幸的结果；D.Space Junk Puts People at Risk.太空垃圾将人们置于危险之中。故选D。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当前太空中有太多的太空垃圾以及这些垃圾给人们带来的危险。

【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据标题的感叹句Today's amazing newspaper headline（今天令人惊叹的报纸标题）；第一段的First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown's shoes（第一个戴着米老鼠耳朵穿着小丑鞋走到南极的四口之家）；第二段No，not really.It isn't true.I invented it.But I wouldn't be surprised to see it one day soon（不，不是。这不是真的。它是我发明的。但如果很快看到它，我一点儿也不会感到奇怪），可知作者发明了报纸标题，是为了使读者对这个话题感兴趣，故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第五段的It's become a popular tourist trip.People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas，who lead the way and carry the bags.At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down.As a result，Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up（它已经成为一种受欢迎的旅游旅行。人们花数千美元由当地的夏尔巴人带上这座山，夏尔巴人带路并背着袋子。任何时候都有大约1000人在攀登或返回途中。因此，珠穆朗玛峰到处都是垃圾，夏尔巴不得不专程上山捡垃圾），可知作者说"这已经成为一次受欢迎的旅游旅行"，意思是攀登珠穆朗玛峰已经失去了真正的意义，变成了普通的旅游，故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段的Talking of taxpayers，many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers.A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia，so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them.There have been a lot of difficult，time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars（说到纳税人，许多澳大利亚人有点受够了这项破纪录者。许多试图打破帆船或赛艇纪录的人在澳大利亚周围的海域遇到了麻烦，所以澳大利亚海军不得不派遣船只来拯救他们。近年来，澳大利亚政府花了数百万美元执行了许多艰难而耗时的救援任务），可知许多澳大利亚人不喜欢破纪录者的原因是他们必须为拯救破纪录者付出代价，故选A。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文，特别是第四段的So，those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before（所以，那些觉得需要冒险的人只能做以前做过的事情），可知很多人为了所谓的出名，做了一些没有意义的探险，造成不必要的损失，这些探险前人已经做过了，所以A.It's All Been Done Before（以前都做过）是最好的标题，故选A。
这是一篇议论文。作者对现在人们进行的一些没有意义的冒险活动提出质疑。

Will Smith jumped into a live volcano and kayaked （划皮艇） down an Icelandic whitewater river for his latest project.But he wasn't making an action movie.It was personal.
Smith，a Hollywood leading man who admits that he's far from enjoying outdoor activities，has put himself in danger while filming Welcome to Earth，a Disney original series from National Geographic.He was afraid at that time，but he says "It's really difficult to enjoy things if you're scared.I think the ability to see how beautiful things are is directly connected to your openness to them and fear closes you down."
Smith says he was once scared of everything and hated water，but he learns to read the rapids （急流） while whitewater kayaking，rescues turtles near the Great Barrier Reef and goes 3，000 feet below the sea in a deep-water submarine.
Dr.Albert Lin，an engineer and explorer who has uncovered lost cities previously for National Geographic，was astonished to find that Smith was able to control his fears even in the face of real danger.While diving in the underground lake in Namibia，Smith got into trouble and Lin watched him "dropping at a rate that felt like maybe we wouldn't see him again." But Smith was able to control his mind and deal with the situation. "I respected Will Smith，the actor，before，but now I definitely have grown to truly respect Will Smith，the human being，" says Lin.
Produced by famous filmmaker Darren Aronofsky，the series carries on the tradition of National Geographic pushing the exploring envelope （极限） and employing the latest technology to help us understand our world. "I hope this can help people out there get a sense of how absolutely incredible our planet is，" says Lin.

Along with a rising number of space missions by government agencies and private industries，comes a fresh set of problems for Earth：potentially dangerous space junk.
A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded "that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade".In other words，according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia，there's roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone.
The space junk orbiting the earth is an unfortunate by-product of our desire to explore and document space.According to 2021 figures from NASA and the Department of Defense's Space Surveillance Data，the agencies were actively tracking more than 27，000 pieces of space junk，most of which are larger than a softball and that casually orbit the planet.While the floating space junk is certainly a problem，not all the objects that went up must come down，and，in fact，a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere.But sometimes those objects，particularly large ones like used rocket attachments，give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth to be dealt with once again by their human makers.Typically，people don't die or even get injured by this phenomenon — many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean.
They also have to deal with the unsettling feeling of knowing that large rocket pieces can just fall from the sky and that it might affect people in certain parts of the world more than others.
This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. "When some large parts of space junk return to Earth，the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere.Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous，giving serious risks on land，at sea，and to people in airplanes，" the study explains.
8.What is the conclusion of the study published in Nature Astronomy？ ______
A. People will see space junk easily in the future.
B. Government agencies and private industries will develop fast.
C. Some people may be hit to death by objects from the space.
D. There will be a 10 percent chance for human to die in 10 years.
9.What can be inferred from the third paragraph？ ______
A. Normally we should not worry about space junk.
B. The large space junk will pollute the ocean.
C. The floating space junk will come down finally.
D. The space junk will get burnt in the sky.
10.What might be discussed in the following part of the text？ ______
A. How to find space junk.
B. How to deal with space junk.
C. How to inform people of the danger.
D. How to avoid the danger of space junk.
11.Which is the most suitable title for the text？ ______
A. Space Junk Causes Pollution.
B. How to Take Back Space Junk.
C. Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results.
D. Space Junk Puts People at Risk.

Today's amazing newspaper headline!
First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown's shoes.
No，not really.It isn't true.I invented it.But I wouldn't be surprised to see it one day soon.It seems that every week someone becomes"the first"or"the youngest"or "the oldest"or even"the first married couple"to do something that doesn't seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity.
This year I've seen headlines saying"The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone"，"The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest"，and"The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon".Why do they do it？Don't they have better things to do with their time and money？And why should I be interested anyway？
Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains，sailed across the oceans and flown around the world.People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet.Many of these things were done a long，long time ago.There just isn't anything left to explore nowadays.I suppose there's still a lot of the universe left，and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery，but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that.So，those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.So they have to try and do it in a new way，or be"the fastest"or"the youngest"or"the oldest"to do something that isn't really new at all.
What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway？It's become a popular tourist trip.People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas，who lead the way and carry the bags.At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down.As a result，Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up.The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety.Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain.
In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica.I'm not quite sure what they were trying to be"the first"or"the youngest"to do.The Chilean navy picked them up after a nine-hour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds，all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers.
Talking of taxpayers，many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers.A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia，so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them.There have been a lot of difficult，time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars.I suppose we can't just leave them to drown，but personally，I think we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for expensive insurance premiums（保费） .Then I wouldn't have to read about them in the newspapers either.
12.The writer invents the newspaper headline in paragraphs 1&2.to ______ .
A. persuade readers of a new trend
B. entertain readers with his humor
C. get readers interested in the topic
D. remind readers of an important event
13.By saying"It's become a popular tourist trip"，the writer means ______ .
A. Mount Everest is now covered with a lot of rubbish
B. climbing Mount Everest has already lost its true meaning
C. it's impossible to climb up Mountain Everest without help
D. people without experience may get in trouble or even danger
14.Which is the reason why many Australians dislike the record breakers？ ______
A. They have to pay for the costs of rescuing the record breakers.
B. The Australian navy was not something intended for rescue work.
C. The record breakers should pay for their insurance premiums themselves.
D. A great number of people try to break records in the seas around Australia.
15.Which of the following is the best title of the passage？ ______
A. It's All Been Done Before
B. Never Do Something New
C. You Are the Next Record Breaker
D. Be Responsible for Your Adventures

On Monday afternoons at two o'clock，my dog Beau and I would arrive at the Silver Spring Convalescent Center for an hour of pet therapy（宠物疗法） with the seniors who lived there.
Room 114 was home to Katherine's，a woman in her seventies who had stopped talking a few months earlier and had been living in a catatonic（木僵的） state in her wheelchair for the past month.I was told her family had stopped calling or visiting，and she had no friends.When Beau and I walked into her room，she was sitting in her wheelchair，her back toward us，facing the viewless window.
Beau was pulling ahead of me with his leash（牵绳）.Before I could get around to kneeling down in front of her，he was at her left side，with his head in her lap.I pulled a chair up in front of her and sat down，saying hello.No response.In the fifteen minutes that Beau and I sat with Katherine，she never said a word and never moved.Surprising as that may be，more surprising was that Beau never moved either.
If you knew Beau，you'd know that even ten seconds was long enough to wait for a petting.He would wiggle（摇） his body against anyone who was closest to his nose until they were forced to pet him，or he'd lose interest and find someone else.I became so uncomfortable with the lack of life in this woman that，much as I wished I felt differently，when the clock struck 2：30 PM.，I rushed to say goodbye，stood up and pulled the reluctant（不情愿的） Beau out.
Every Monday thereafter，Beau and I made a visit to room 114.Each visit I attempted to ask Katherine questions about her life and tell her about mine and Beau's.No response.I grew more and more frustrated.I figured we didn't really make a difference，so why did we bother to stop by？

续写词数应为 150左右。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
8~11.【答案】C、A、B、D
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded"that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade" （最近发表在科学杂志《自然天文学》上的一项研究得出的结论是"目前的做法在十年内有10%的几率出现一人或多人伤亡"）和第二段第二句中的there's roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone（在未来十年里，大约有十分之一的几率将看到坠落的太空垃圾导致人死亡。）由此可知，该研究的结论是在未来，人们有可能会被太空中的坠落物砸死。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段第三至五句While the floating space junk is certainly a problem，not all that the objects that went up must come down，and，in fact，a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere.But sometimes those objects particularly large ones like spent rocket attachments give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth，to be dealt with，once again，by their human makers.Typically，people don't die or even get injured by this phenomenon much of the falling pieces crash into the ocean.（虽然漂浮的太空垃圾确实是个问题，但并不是所有上升的物体都一定会下降，事实上，许多碎片只是在大气层中燃烧，但有时那些物体会屈服于重力，落回地球，再次由人类制造商处理，通常情况下，人们不会因为这种现象死亡或受伤，因为许多坠落的碎片都会坠入海洋。）由此可推知，通常情况下，我们不必担心太空垃圾问题。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. "When some large parts of space junk return to Earth，the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere.Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous，giving serious risks on land，at sea，and to people in airplanes，" the study explains.（这对地面上的人构成了明显的安全风险。"当一些大部分太空垃圾返回地球时，它们的质量部分经受住了大气层的高温。许多幸存下来的碎片具有潜在的危险，给陆地、海洋和飞机上的人带来严重的风险，"该研究解释道。）可知文章接下来可能会阐述如何解决太空垃圾的问题。故选B。
（4）标题概括题。通读全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了当前太空中有太多的太空垃圾以及这些垃圾给人们带来的危险。D项符合文章主旨，适合做本文的标题。A.Space Junk Causes Pollution.太空垃圾造成污染；B.How to Take Back Space Junk.如何取回太空垃圾；C.Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results.探索太空会带来不幸的结果；D.Space Junk Puts People at Risk.太空垃圾将人们置于危险之中。故选D。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当前太空中有太多的太空垃圾以及这些垃圾给人们带来的危险。

12~15.【答案】C、B、A、A
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据标题的感叹句Today's amazing newspaper headline（今天令人惊叹的报纸标题）；第一段的First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown's shoes（第一个戴着米老鼠耳朵穿着小丑鞋走到南极的四口之家）；第二段No，not really.It isn't true.I invented it.But I wouldn't be surprised to see it one day soon（不，不是。这不是真的。它是我发明的。但如果很快看到它，我一点儿也不会感到奇怪），可知作者发明了报纸标题，是为了使读者对这个话题感兴趣，故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第五段的It's become a popular tourist trip.People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas，who lead the way and carry the bags.At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down.As a result，Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up（它已经成为一种受欢迎的旅游旅行。人们花数千美元由当地的夏尔巴人带上这座山，夏尔巴人带路并背着袋子。任何时候都有大约1000人在攀登或返回途中。因此，珠穆朗玛峰到处都是垃圾，夏尔巴不得不专程上山捡垃圾），可知作者说"这已经成为一次受欢迎的旅游旅行"，意思是攀登珠穆朗玛峰已经失去了真正的意义，变成了普通的旅游，故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段的Talking of taxpayers，many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers.A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia，so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them.There have been a lot of difficult，time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars（说到纳税人，许多澳大利亚人有点受够了这项破纪录者。许多试图打破帆船或赛艇纪录的人在澳大利亚周围的海域遇到了麻烦，所以澳大利亚海军不得不派遣船只来拯救他们。近年来，澳大利亚政府花了数百万美元执行了许多艰难而耗时的救援任务），可知许多澳大利亚人不喜欢破纪录者的原因是他们必须为拯救破纪录者付出代价，故选A。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文，特别是第四段的So，those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before（所以，那些觉得需要冒险的人只能做以前做过的事情），可知很多人为了所谓的出名，做了一些没有意义的探险，造成不必要的损失，这些探险前人已经做过了，所以A.It's All Been Done Before（以前都做过）是最好的标题，故选A。
这是一篇议论文。作者对现在人们进行的一些没有意义的冒险活动提出质疑。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。
16~20.【答案】D、G、C、B、E

（2）联系上文题。根据上文Copeland suggests finding other ways to apply，too，whether it is in person，via a headhunter or through a friend inside the company.（科普兰还建议寻找其他申请方式，无论是亲自申请、通过猎头申请，还是通过公司内部的朋友申请）结合中心句Don't listen to HR about how to apply.（不要听从人力资源部关于如何申请的建议）说明自己应该亲自申请。G项"亲自申请往往是最有效的方法"符合题意。故选G。

（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
