It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to the Earth. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on the Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9.5 million.

【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Gold Rush (1925)部分的“Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp eats his shoe for Thanksgiving dinner while trapped in a snowstorm in this endearing silent film classic from 1925.(在这部1925年的经典无声电影中，查理·卓别林饰演的小流浪汉被困在暴风雪中，为感恩节晚餐吃鞋子。)”，One True Thing (1998)中的介绍“The two try to hold the family together, especially during a tense Thanksgiving meal when guests get all the attention.(这两个人试图让家人团结在一起，尤其是在宾客占据所有注意力的紧张感恩节晚餐期间。)”，A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)中的“Life is hard, but in this animated film, sweetness wins when the Peanuts group prepares a Thanksgiving feast, complete with jelly (果冻) beans.(生活是艰难的，但在这部动画电影中，当Peanuts剧组准备了一顿感恩节大餐，并配有糖豆时，甜蜜赢得了胜利。)”以及Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)部分的介绍“This John Hughes comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy is already a Thanksgiving classic for many.(这部由Steve Martin和John Candy主演的John Hughes的喜剧已经成为许多人的感恩节经典。)”可知，这四部电影都与感恩节有关。故选B。
B
I met Luis, an exchange student from Mexico, and soon we became friends. Language was no barrier as he could speak English. If his three sisters, who spoke little English, hadn’t visited us, we might have been the best friends.
At that time, I got along well with him and determined to pay a visit to his home and make a good impression on his family. The only problem was that I was too busy with my classes to take a Spanish class. Instead, I decided to take the Spanish-English cognate (同根词) shortcut. I thought to myself, “They are interrelated, and Spanish is not so difficult.” I discovered I could add a vowel(元音)to the end of many English words. Instantly, it became Spanish. Thus “active” was “activo”; “habit” was “habito”; “abrupt” was “abrupto”.
On a Saturday night, I was invited to dinner at Luis’s apartment when his sisters arrived. I thought the dinner went well since the three girls kept giving me friendly smiles. However, we kept silent, and no one seemed to break the ice. Then Luis excused himself from the table.
With three pairs of eyes focused on me, I was forced to speak. Since I didn’t know much about Spanish, I had to be careful to say anything. I chose to play it safe by simply praising the fine meal they’d made. “Me gusta el dinero,” I said, smiling at each girl in return. They unhappily stared at me as Luis re-entered the room. Confusedly, he asked, “What did you do ” I just praised your sisters for this delicious dinner,” I replied weakly, suddenly questioning my limited Spanish vocabulary. Finally, the three girls told me that “gusta el dinero” means “like money”.
That night really left me in an awkward state. I couldn’t say that ended my friendship with Luis, but things were never quite the same between us after the fateful night. I learned a valuable lesson—it was always the shortcuts that got me into trouble.
24. What does the author think of Spanish and English
A. They are equally difficult. B. Their spellings are the same.
C. There is a link between them. D. They have nothing in common.
25. What does the underlined phrase “play it safe” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Have fun. B. Avoid running a risk.
C. Play a trick. D. Turn to somebody for help.
26. Which word best describes the author’s Saturday night
A. Embarrassing. B. Dangerous. C. Harmonious. D. Pleasant.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Decision On Fate B. A Common Mistake
C. A Chance Encounter D. A Shortcut To Disaster
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者想通过走“捷径”速成西班牙语，结果却弄巧成拙，让自己陷入尴尬状态。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I thought to myself, “They are interrelated, and Spanish is not so difficult.”(我心想：“它们是相互关联的，而且西班牙语也没那么难。”)”可知，作者认为西班牙语和英语是有关联的。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Since I didn’t know much about Spanish, I had to be careful to say anything.(由于我不太懂西班牙语，所以我不得不小心翼翼地说话)”以及后文“by simply praising the fine meal they’d made”可知，作者对西班牙语了解不多，说话十分谨慎。为了保险起见，作者选择称赞三姐妹做的饭菜来打破沉默。故划线词play it safe在此处意为“不冒风险，谨慎行事”。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“That night really left me in an awkward state.(那天晚上真的让我很尴尬)”可知，那个周六晚上让作者感到很尴尬。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I learned a valuable lesson—it was always the shortcuts that got me into trouble.(我学到了宝贵的一课——总是走捷径让我陷入麻烦)”以及本文主要讲述了作者想通过走“捷径”速成西班牙语，结果却弄巧成拙，让自己陷入尴尬状态的故事，D选项“通往灾难的捷径”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.
There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected. Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” She said the discovery was especially exciting. She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look. They love cold water, which is why they’re found in the Arctic. However, they’ve also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.
28. What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark
A. It is 400 years old. B. It looks just like a tiger.
C. It has unique appearance. D. It only lives near the Arctic.
29. What does Kasana think of the discovery
A. Doubtful and fearful. B. Common and expected.
C. Exciting and threatening. D. Surprising and confusing.
30. What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks’ long life
A. The early maturity. B. The mild environment.
C. The length of their bodies. D. The slow pace of their development.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The longest-living shark in the world.
B. The oldest fish living near the equator.
C. A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
D. A theory about the long life of wild fish.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。据报道，研究人员在伯利兹的南部海岸发现了一条格陵兰鲨鱼。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. (与他们看到的虎鲨不同，这种特殊的鲨鱼有着黑色的、皮肤皴裂和淡蓝色的眼睛。)”可知，这条被抓的格陵兰鲨鱼外观独特：浑身黑色、皮肤皴裂、眼睛浅蓝。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” (Kasana说:“当它进入我们的视野时，我们看到一个黑色的身影越来越大。当它浮出水面时，所有拥有捕鱼经验的船员都没有见过这样的事情。”)”。由此可知，Kasana 对该发现感到既惊讶又迷惑。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life. (格陵兰鲨鱼可以活到几百岁。他们长寿的原因可能与他们的生长速度有关，这是非常缓慢的。格陵兰鲨鱼每年长大约三分之一英寸，长度可以超过20英尺。研究人员认为，鲨鱼直到它们生命的前100年才达到性成熟。)”可知，格陵兰鲨鱼之所以长寿是因为它们生长发育的速度很慢。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old. (研究人员在伯利兹南部海岸追踪虎鲨，当他们最近捕捉到一种不同的鱼时，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。原来它是一条格陵兰鲨鱼，通常在北极发现，可以活到400岁左右。” ) 本文主要介绍了在伯利兹的南部海岸发现的一条格陵兰鲨鱼的具体情况。故选C。
D
“Fifty years ago, astronauts travelled to space in government-funded rockets designed, built and maintained by NASA. But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. This change feels like a giant leap, but it makes sense,” says Laura Seward Forczyk, founder of Astralytical, a space consulting company. She believes more and more of modern civilization relies on space.
Huge numbers of satellites orbit the planet, connecting us to everything from mobile phones to GPS, and there is a large sum of money in maintaining those systems. Forczyk thinks this doesn’t get a lot of headlines typically, but there are profitable reasons why private companies want to go into space.
The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. That’s important because NASA itself has become financially limited. From its 1966 peak, when spending on the space race took up more than four percent of the US government’s budget, that spending is now less than half percent of the country’s total budget.
“NASA is using commercial companies to build a lot of hardware to perform those services of taking scientific payloads (载量) to the surface of the moon,” says Forczyk. “The hope is that people will follow — possibly by 2025, but more realistically by 2030. If you’re wondering why we’re going back to the moon — after all, mankind has already walked on its surface — the answer is that we explored only part of it.” “We know a lot more, but we also know so very little,” adds Forczyk. She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day.
The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question.
32. What is the change of the American space travel today
A. It needs billions of government funds.
B. All astronauts should pay for it themselves.
C. It requires astronauts to carry mobile phones.
D. The rich can experience it at their own expense.
33. What is the relationship between NASA and the private commercial companies
A. Competitive. B. Interdependent.
C. Unrelated. D. Mistrustful.
34. What is Forczyk’s attitude to the moon exploration
A. Confident. B. Curious. C. Negative. D. Worried.
35. What does the last paragraph want to convey
A. There is no limit to space exploration.
B. The moon is the final exploration area.
C. Humans will cease exploring deep space.
D It is absolutely impossible to get to Mars.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了NASA的宇航员的一些变化和对宇宙未来的探索。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. (但是今天，“宇航员”通常是亿万富翁，他们乘坐自己支付的火箭进入低轨道。)”可知，富人可以自费体验太空旅行。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. (私营商业公司更多地了解如何将火箭和卫星送入太空，以帮助美国宇航局完成任务，而美国宇航局则加强了对它们的管理和指导。)”由此可知，NASA和私营商业公司是相互依赖的关系。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day. (她想回去和人们一起学习更多。但更重要的是，她希望并相信有一天人们可以去那里生活和工作。 )”可知，Forczyk希望并相信有一天人们能去月球生活和工作。由此推断，她对月球探索抱有信心。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question. (宇宙如此之大，我们无法停止对它的探索。一些人甚至认为月球是人类探索深空的最终集结地。火星被认为是通往终极边界的下一个起点，尽管我们能否在有生之年到达火星是另一个问题。)”可知，宇宙如此之大，我们无法停止对它的探索。由此可知，太空探索是无止境的。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。根据中国国家林草局周日发布的一份报告，过去十年中国的森林面积增加了2200万公顷，这在很大程度上改善了中国的生态环境。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：根据国家林业和草原局周日发布的一份报告，在过去十年中，中国的森林面积增加了2200万公顷。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，这里讲述的是在过去的时间段内，到现在为止，中国的森林面积已经增加了的动作，且over the past decade是现在完成时的时间标志词，所以使用现在完成时，主语area是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数。故填 has increased。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子，句中has increased为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词作定语，此处report与publish之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词作后置定语。故填published。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这一增长显著改善了国家的生态环境，同时在这一时期为全球新林面积贡献了四分之一。分析句子，此处构成状语从句的省略结构即while doing，主语growth与contribute是主动关系，使用现在分词表示主动。故填contributing。
【59题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：在中国推进大规模土地造林的过程中，已经推动了一些关键项目，其中三北防护林就是其中之一。分析句子，设空处使用连词，连接前后两个句子，此处表示并列关系，用and。故填and。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：1978年启动的三北防护林工程，在中国北方发展了广泛的防护林，以减少沙尘暴和水土流失的影响。分析句子，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，修饰先行词Three-North Shelterbelt Forest，为物。故填which。
【61题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：同上。分析句子，句中develops为动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处表示目的作状语，故使用动词不定式结构。故填 to decrease。
【62题详解】
考查动词。句意：它的总面积为407万平方公里，占全国土地面积的42.4%。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数。故填covers。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。句中account for为固定短语，意为“（在数量上）占……”。故填for。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它也是世界上最大的人工种植园。分析句子，设空处使用形容词作定语，根据句意，此处表示“世界上最大的人工种植园”，结合前文的the world's可知，使用large的最高级largest。故填 largest。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：从荒地到森林的海洋，这神奇的变化反映了国家为改善环境所做的努力。miraculous为形容词，修饰后面的名词，故使用transform的名词transformation，意为“转变，变化”作主语。故填transformation。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Anthony was born in a beautiful town. The local environment was particularly good and the people were caring and attached importance to hygiene (卫生). In the blink of an eye, Anthony was in high school. For more than a decade, he developed the habit as the other people in the town.
Then he went on to university. He got along with his classmates because he had a kind heart and was always ready to help others. He even set up an organization aimed at guiding people to pay attention to the hygiene in the campus. He received an award from the school for this.
After graduating from university, Anthony came to New York to attend an interview for a job. He wanted to work for a software design company. But it would be difficult for him because the company was very famous and there were many people going for the interview. But Anthony did not feel discouraged and wanted to give it a try. He prepared a lot in advance, including the history, the culture and the current situation of the company.
The day of the interview came quickly. As he had expected, there were many interviewees. He was told that there were only 10 positions available, but he still felt confident. The interviewees were all waiting on the ground floor and the office where the interview took place was located on the third floor. The interviewees went to the interview in turn. One by one, they went upstairs but came down quickly. Anthony thought to himself that the interviews were too fast and felt worried.
Finally it was Anthony’s turn. He stood up and headed upstairs. At the corner of the second floor stairs were an empty bucket and two mops (拖把). One of them was dry and the other one was wet. The wet one was on the floor, slowly dripping (滴落) down with dirty water.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anthony saw it and walked up to it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interviewer looked at Anthony with a smile.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Anthony saw it and walked up to it. He thought the fallen mop was in the way and would probably make someone fall over. Besides, the water would make the clean environment dirty. Because he had the habit of attaching importance to hygiene, he wanted to take action. So he picked up the wet mop, put it into the empty bucket and used the dry mop to get the water off the floor. After he finished, he continued walking and came to the office where the interview was held.
The interviewer looked at Anthony with a smile. He told him that he met the first requirement to join the company. It turned out that picking up the wet mop and cleaning the dirty water was part of the interview. But only a few of the interviewees chose to do it. The interviewer said, “You don’t just take care of your own business, but you are selfless and caring.” The interviewer then asked some questions about his education experiences and the company. These were all the things that Anthony had already prepared for. Not surprisingly, Anthony succeeded in the interview. He got the job he wanted.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Anthony出生在一个美丽的小镇，那儿的人很注重卫生，Anthony也是这样，大学毕业后，他来到纽约参加工作面试，他想在一家软件设计公司工作，但这有点困难，面试者很多，他很担心，最后轮到安东尼了，他站起来，朝楼上走去，看见有一个空水桶和两把拖把，湿的那个在地板上，慢慢地滴着脏水。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“安东尼看到了它，朝它走去。”可知，第一段可描写安东尼收拾了湿拖把并拖干了地上的水。
②由第二段首句内容“面试官笑着看着安东尼。”可知，第二段可描写安东尼顺利通过了面试。
2.续写线索：安东尼认为湿拖把会绊倒人——安东尼采取行动——安东尼把拖把放桶里——参加面试——满足第一个要求——通过面试
3.词汇激活

I met Luis, an exchange student from Mexico, and soon we became friends. Language was no barrier as he could speak English. If his three sisters, who spoke little English, hadn’t visited us, we might have been the best friends.
At that time, I got along well with him and determined to pay a visit to his home and make a good impression on his family. The only problem was that I was too busy with my classes to take a Spanish class. Instead, I decided to take the Spanish-English cognate (同根词) shortcut. I thought to myself, “They are interrelated, and Spanish is not so difficult.” I discovered I could add a vowel(元音)to the end of many English words. Instantly, it became Spanish. Thus “active” was “activo”; “habit” was “habito”; “abrupt” was “abrupto”.
On a Saturday night, I was invited to dinner at Luis’s apartment when his sisters arrived. I thought the dinner went well since the three girls kept giving me friendly smiles. However, we kept silent, and no one seemed to break the ice. Then Luis excused himself from the table.
With three pairs of eyes focused on me, I was forced to speak. Since I didn’t know much about Spanish, I had to be careful to say anything. I chose to play it safe by simply praising the fine meal they’d made. “Me gusta el dinero,” I said, smiling at each girl in return. They unhappily stared at me as Luis re-entered the room. Confusedly, he asked, “What did you do ” I just praised your sisters for this delicious dinner,” I replied weakly, suddenly questioning my limited Spanish vocabulary. Finally, the three girls told me that “gusta el dinero” means “like money”.
That night really left me in an awkward state. I couldn’t say that ended my friendship with Luis, but things were never quite the same between us after the fateful night. I learned a valuable lesson—it was always the shortcuts that got me into trouble.

Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.
There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected. Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” She said the discovery was especially exciting. She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look. They love cold water, which is why they’re found in the Arctic. However, they’ve also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.
28. What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark
A. It is 400 years old. B. It looks just like a tiger.
C. It has unique appearance. D. It only lives near the Arctic.
29. What does Kasana think of the discovery
A. Doubtful and fearful. B. Common and expected.
C. Exciting and threatening. D. Surprising and confusing.
30. What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks’ long life
A. The early maturity. B. The mild environment.
C. The length of their bodies. D. The slow pace of their development.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The longest-living shark in the world.
B. The oldest fish living near the equator.
C. A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
D. A theory about the long life of wild fish.
D
“Fifty years ago, astronauts travelled to space in government-funded rockets designed, built and maintained by NASA. But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. This change feels like a giant leap, but it makes sense,” says Laura Seward Forczyk, founder of Astralytical, a space consulting company. She believes more and more of modern civilization relies on space.
Huge numbers of satellites orbit the planet, connecting us to everything from mobile phones to GPS, and there is a large sum of money in maintaining those systems. Forczyk thinks this doesn’t get a lot of headlines typically, but there are profitable reasons why private companies want to go into space.
The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. That’s important because NASA itself has become financially limited. From its 1966 peak, when spending on the space race took up more than four percent of the US government’s budget, that spending is now less than half percent of the country’s total budget.
“NASA is using commercial companies to build a lot of hardware to perform those services of taking scientific payloads (载量) to the surface of the moon,” says Forczyk. “The hope is that people will follow — possibly by 2025, but more realistically by 2030. If you’re wondering why we’re going back to the moon — after all, mankind has already walked on its surface — the answer is that we explored only part of it.” “We know a lot more, but we also know so very little,” adds Forczyk. She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day.
The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question.
32. What is the change of the American space travel today
A. It needs billions of government funds.
B. All astronauts should pay for it themselves.
C. It requires astronauts to carry mobile phones.
D. The rich can experience it at their own expense.
33. What is the relationship between NASA and the private commercial companies
A. Competitive. B. Interdependent.
C. Unrelated. D. Mistrustful.
34. What is Forczyk’s attitude to the moon exploration
A. Confident. B. Curious. C. Negative. D. Worried.
35. What does the last paragraph want to convey
A. There is no limit to space exploration.
B. The moon is the final exploration area.
C. Humans will cease exploring deep space.
D. It is absolutely impossible to get to Mars.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Anthony was born in a beautiful town. The local environment was particularly good and the people were caring and attached importance to hygiene (卫生). In the blink of an eye, Anthony was in high school. For more than a decade, he developed the habit as the other people in the town.
Then he went on to university. He got along with his classmates because he had a kind heart and was always ready to help others. He even set up an organization aimed at guiding people to pay attention to the hygiene in the campus. He received an award from the school for this.
After graduating from university, Anthony came to New York to attend an interview for a job. He wanted to work for a software design company. But it would be difficult for him because the company was very famous and there were many people going for the interview. But Anthony did not feel discouraged and wanted to give it a try. He prepared a lot in advance, including the history, the culture and the current situation of the company.
The day of the interview came quickly. As he had expected, there were many interviewees. He was told that there were only 10 positions available, but he still felt confident. The interviewees were all waiting on the ground floor and the office where the interview took place was located on the third floor. The interviewees went to the interview in turn. One by one, they went upstairs but came down quickly. Anthony thought to himself that the interviews were too fast and felt worried.
Finally it was Anthony’s turn. He stood up and headed upstairs. At the corner of the second floor stairs were an empty bucket and two mops (拖把). One of them was dry and the other one was wet. The wet one was on the floor, slowly dripping (滴落) down with dirty water.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
