Ⅲ.1.(1)spent (2)cost (3)spent (4)took
[(1)spend通常以人作主语，常用于sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )end some time in doing sth.(in可以省略)或spend some time on sth.结构。
(2)take多以it作形式主语，用于It takes sb. some time to do sth.结构中。
(3)cost多以物作主语，常用于st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h. cost sb. some money结构中，或以it作形式主语，构成It costs sb. some money to do sth.结构。]
2．(1)founded (2)puts up (3)building (4)set up

(2)build指建筑正规建筑物。
(3)set up指团体、组织、俱乐部等小范围组织的成立。
(4)found指国家、政党等的建立，尤指提供资金。]
Ⅳ.1.D [考查副词词义辨析。person ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally就个人而言，符合句意。truly真正地；gradually逐渐地；commonly一般地。]
2．A [问句句意为：依你看，谁是当今中国最优秀的篮球运动员？in you opinion在此作插入语，意为“在你看来”。]
3．D [由句式结构分析， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )本句的主干是：The rich man lived the rest of his life there。所以此空需一定语成分来修饰the rich man，而man与found之间为主动形式，故用现在分词短语做定语，所以选D项。]
4．A [an end to...……的结束，end在此为名词。]
5．A [句意为：他们怀疑她是否能胜任这项工作，因此没有录取她。be equal to胜任。]
6．D [struggle for为……而斗争/努力；struggle with与……搏斗。]
7．A [“with＋宾语＋形容词”是with复合结构中的一种形式。句意为：所有的积蓄都没了，他开始去找工作。]
8．D [encourage sb. to do sth.鼓励某人做某事。]
9．D [when offered help为when one is offered help的省略形式。]
10．C [句意为：当地矿工举行罢工抗议不安全的工作环境。protest about抗议……，符合句意。]
Ⅴ.1.A [defeat击败，打败，宾语多为人或队等；own拥有；receive收到，接到；win表示“赢得(比赛等)”，故选win。]
2．B [由下文可知，英国男人认为他们不能哭。笑(laugh)；大叫(shout)；发抖(tremble)都不是本文论述的话题。]
3．B [over the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) centuries意思是“在这些世纪中”。over有“在……期间”之意，符合句意。inside“在……里面”和before“在……以前”通常不与centuries搭配；文中也无法推理出half the centuries的表达。]
4．D [分析句子成分可知，此处应选择的是主 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )语study的谓语动词。此处意为：研究表明95%的男士仍然会克制自己的感情。结合选项可以判断reveal合适，表示“揭示，表明”。require需要；要求；命令；insist坚持；exhibit展出，陈列，均不符合句意。]
5．C [结合上下文，此处应是“95%的男 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )士仍然会克制自己的感情”。故用contain，表示“控制，克制”。expose暴露；conduct引导；管理；construct建造，构筑。]
6．A [通观全句可知，上下文为转折关系， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )即“尽管72%的人认为这是不健康的，但是19%的人记不起他们上一次发泄自己情感的时间了”。while可以表示“尽管”，引导让步状语从句。because/since/for都可以表示原因。]
7．C [由文意可知，Kleenex正在发 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )动一项“Let It Out”的活动。此处动词应和名词campaign搭配，故选start，表示“发动”之意。]
8．D [这项活动的目的显然是要鼓励 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(encourage)英国人发泄出来自己的情绪。说服(persuade)；允许(allow)；命令(order)三项与语境不符，并非一定要说服英国人哭，也不是别人允许才能哭，更没人命令谁去哭。]
9．A [从下文可知，这句话概括了英 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )国男士对哭的“态度”的变化。attitude常与toward搭配使用，意为“对……的态度”。face脸，面部；idea主意；impression印象；感想，三者都不与句意吻合。]
10．B [句意为：尽管大 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )部分人仍然需要做出很大努力才能公开表露自己的情感，但77%的英国男士已经认为当众流泪逐渐可以接受了。struggle to do sth.努力、尽力去做某事。frighten使惊恐；fight打仗，搏斗；break打破；违背，均与语境不符。]
11．C [根据上一小题解析可知，ac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ceptable可以接受的，符合题意。unimaginable想不到的；unbelievable难以相信的；shameful可耻的，三项表达的意思恰恰相反，故可排除。]
12．A [一半的伦敦男士承认在母亲面前哭 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )过。admit承认；adapt使适应；deny否认；拒绝给予；support支持，拥护。显然只有admit符合句意。]
13．D [be likely to do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )...可能会……。句意为：苏格兰男士是最不情绪化的，尽管他们最有可能在婚礼上流泪哭泣。possibly为副词，无be possibly to do结构；surely，certainly语气太过强烈，过于绝对化。]
14．A [由rather than可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知其前后的词为对立关系，即“现在哭泣可以表明敏感而不是软弱”。horror惊恐，恐怖，不符合语境。力量(strength)；勇敢(bravery)二者是近义词，均无法与sensitivity构成对比，可以排除。]
15．B [从下文可知，丘吉尔就是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一个经常流泪的人，故选frequent(频繁的)。brave勇敢的；seldom很少，恰好与句意相反；kind意为“好心的，和蔼的”，与文意不符。]
16．C [在防空洞里看到的应是一个su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rvivor“幸存者”，躲避轰炸的难民等，而不是soldier(士兵)。student是一个特定的概念，文中没有提及；wound创伤，伤口；survivor幸存者，生还者。]
17．A [根据上下文可以 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )推理出此处应是离开家很长时间之后见到妻子，故选absence，表示“缺席，不在”。presence出席，到场；存在；battle战役；reserve预备军；储备(物)。]
18．B [心理学家说尽管社会 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )已经接受了男人同样可以哭泣，但还是有限度的，故用limits，表示“界限，限度”。expectation预期；rule规则，章程；exception例外的人(或事物)，例外，均与句意不符。]
19．C [be con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sidered as...被认为是……。classify把……分类；insist坚持；imagine想像。此处说的是一个男人在医院缝针的时候如果哭，就会被认为是软弱的。显然C项合适，表示人们对此的看法。]
20．A [when it comes to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )...为固定搭配，意思是“当说到……的时候”。句意为：当说到身体上痛苦的时候，男人仍然需要被看作是坚强的。]Period Four Lesson 3 Sports Stars

Ⅵ.阅读理解
In China he’s known a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the Flying Fish；in America they call him the Baltimore Bullet.Whatever you call him，American swimmer Michael Phelps looks destined to become a household name across the world after breaking the Olympic record for most gold medals in a single Games.
Phelps’ total of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) eight gold medals in Beijing put him one ahead of compatriot Mark Spitz’s previous tally set in 1972.
Michael Phelps d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ominated the field in seven of his races and set an amazing seven world records in the process.He did，however，have one close shave in the 100 m butterfly which he won by the smallest possible margin of just 0.01 seconds，and in another he had to contend with a faulty pair of goggles (游泳镜)．
Now people are al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ready calling him the greatest Olympian of all time.But whether he is or not，what is it that makes Michael Phelps so good
A good place to star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t might be his physique.Phelps has the perfect body shape for a swimmer：his arms is longer than his height；he has very flexible joints，huge lungs，and incredibly large feet (size 14 in the US，size 49 in China) that act like flippers in the water.
To feed his hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge swimmer’s body，Phelps eats an astonishing 12,000 calories a day，six times the average for a man of his age.According to his coach，Phelps starts with a breakfast of champions：Three fried egg sandwiches with cheese，tomatoes，fried onions and mayo，a five egg omelette，a bowl of grits，three slices of French toast and three pancakes with chocolate chips.
He then slips into a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) swimsuit which has been making_waves in the world of swimming.Designed by NASA，the American Space agency，the suit is made of a special material which is said to help athletes swim 2% faster.
Michael Phelps shoul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d spare a thought for his mum，who first pushed him into swimming as a way of making friends，and who believed in him when one teacher said he would never be a success.
Whatever the reaso ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n for his success，Phelps admits there was perhaps also a bit of luck involved in winning his eight medals.
“I guess eight is a l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ucky number for me，too，now.The opening ceremony started on 8/8/08.Maybe it was meant to be.” he said.
1．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Olympics：the Flying Fish—Phelps
B．The Life of Phelps
C．Phelps and Medals
D．The Magic of Swimsuit
2.What’s the meaning of the underlined words
A．制造麻烦 B．挥手
C．制造海浪 D．引起轰动
3．Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage
A．Mark Spitz’s total ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of golds in 1972 was less than Phelps’ in Beijing.
B．Phelps won by a narrow in the 100 m butterfly.
C．Phelps has very in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )flexible joints，huge lungs，and incredibly large feet.
D．It is a bit lucky for Phelps to get eight gold medals.
4．Why did Phelps’ mother first make him swim
A．She thought he would win gold medal.
B．She wanted him to make friends in swimming pool.
C．She wanted to prove she was right.
D．She knew he was perfect for a swimmer.
not...until...直到……才……
1．He didn’t come until late in the evening.
他直到傍晚才来。
2．The girl didn’t leave until I came back last night.
昨晚直到我回来这个女孩才离开。

Ⅱ.1.(1)affairs (2)accident (3)event (4)event
[(1)event指发生的事情，尤指“大事”，还常表示“比赛项目”。
(2)accident侧重指“意外事故”。
(3)affair常指“政治事务、公共事务；私事”，指国家大事时常用复数。]
2．(1)won (2)beat/defeated (3)defeated
(4)beat/defeated；won
[(1)win表示“赢，获胜”，可指通过努力获得，也可指偶然获得，宾语通常为表示比赛、战斗的词，不能接人作宾语。
(2)beat表示“打败，战胜”，多指在游戏、竞赛或战争中击败对方，宾语通常为表示人的词。过去式为beat，过去分词为beaten。
(3)defeat表示“打败，战胜”，通常接人作宾语，过去式为defeated。]

3．was working 4.has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) served 5.has changed 6.has appeared 7.went 8.was picking
9．didn’t think 10.has gone
Ⅴ.1.B [event在此句中表示“比赛的项目”。句意为：下个月我们学校将举行运动会，你们将报名参加哪些项目？]
2．A [句意为：——你读完《简·爱》了吗？ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )——没有，我昨天一整天都在写作业。本题考查动词的时态。从all day yesterday可知，昨天一整天都在写作业，用过去进行时表示过去某段时间一直在进行的动作。]
3．C [compete with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )/against与……竞争；complete完成；run for竞选；beat击败，打败，不能与against连用。]
4．B [句意为：你到家时，打 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个电话给我，让我知道你已安全抵达。本题考查时态。从语境看，在打电话时对方“已经到达”，因此这里的宾语从句要用现在完成时。]
5．B [根据时间状语for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many years可知所填部分应为表示状态的词，send sb. to prison把某人送进监狱，强调动作，不与一段时间连用，故选B项。]
6．C [句意为：在澳大利亚发现了金子，这使 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )数以千计的人们认为在那里可以发财。本题考查时态和语态。从语境中动作的先后看可知，“在那里发财”这一动作发生在“发现了金子”这一动作之后且还未发生，因此make a fortune(发财)用过去将来时的被动语态。]
7．B [be amazed at对……感到震惊；amazing令人震惊的。]
8．D [句意为：迄今为止，这个项目已经救 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了好几千名孩子。如果没有这项工程，这些孩子早就死了。up to now相当于by now，要与现在完成时连用。]
9．B [a time某个时候 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，其后为when引导的定语从句。也可作为固定句型来记，There was a time when...曾经有时候……。]
10．A [句意为：抱歉，我不知道挡了你的路。本题考查时态。“没有意识到”这一动作应该发生在过去，故答案为A项。]
Ⅵ.1.A [选文章标题一定注意主题句，而主 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题句很多时候就在文章开始。通过认真阅读第一段，可知这篇文章的最佳标题就是奥运飞鱼——菲尔普斯。]
2.D [由第七段首句“...a swim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suit which has been making waves in the world of swimming”可知这是一件在游泳界“making waves”的泳衣，很容易猜出是“引起轰动”。]
3．C [C项把原文中的flexible joints灵活的关节改为inflexible“不灵活的”，故错误。]

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
British scie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntists are developing robot flies that can be sent in swarms (成群) to spy out or find out enemy positions.Project leader Dr. Rafal Zbikowski believes the first robot flies can be made buzzing (嗡嗡响) around his lab within seven to ten years.He has already produced a non airborne fly model that mimics (模仿) the wing beats of a fly which is circling in the air.
Dr. Zbikowski ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )says the robot insects will be able to fly to operate in special spaces，such as within buildings and in tunnels or caves.This would make them invaluable for rooting out or looking for the hidden terrorists.They could also be used to search for the persons who are trapped in natural disasters such as earthquakes，or to inspect chemical pipes or mines in industry.
The US military，wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ich is determined to start the research，has expressed an interest in using the robots to deliver a very small bomb.They would be thought to be a “smart” weapon，able to destroy a specifically chosen target—such as a computer—without having to bomb the whole equipment.
Dr. Zbikowski，who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is based at the Defence College of Management and Technology at Cranfield University in Shrivenham，Oxfordshire，told The Engineer magazine the key was learning more about the way insects fly.
“If we can repro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )duce this kind of performance our task can be completed ahead of time，” he said.
56．According to the passage the first robot flies ________.
A．have been produced
B．are put into production
C．will be made in about 7～10 years
D．will be made in dozens of years
57．The robot flies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can be used to do all the following work EXCEPT ________.
A．looking for the hidden terrorists
B．rescuing the drowning people
C．inspecting chemical pipes or mines
D．spying out enemy positions
58．The US military a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re interested in the research work because they want to use the flies to ________.
A．discover mines B．deliver mini bombs
C．treat diseases D．find enemies
59．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage
A．Robot Flies Are Being Produced
B．Robot Flies Have Many Advantages
C．The British Are Developing Robot Flies
D．Robot Flies—a Useful Weapon
B
In the future yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur automobile will run on water instead of gas！You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket！You might even drive a flying car!
For each predi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ction (预言) that has come true today，several others have missed by a mile.Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology，or if people really needed it in their lives or not.Let’s look at some predictions from the not too distant past.
Robot helpers
Where’s the robot in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my kitchen？Nowhere，of course.And he’s probably not coming any time soon，Robots do exist today，but mostly in factories and others manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s，ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wever，people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
So why hasn’t happen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed？Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy.And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird.At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of tomorrow
In 1964 an Americ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
Why？The techn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ology worked fine，but it overlooked something obvious：People desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower
Probably not—it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )could be embarrassing！Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
Flying car
And finally，how about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that crazy prediction of the flying car？It’s not so crazy anymore！But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination.Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.
60．The whole passage is mainly about ________.
A．predictions that have come true
B．predictions that haven’t come true
C．why predictions don’t come true easily
D．what technology will bring about
61．Which of the following is probably NOT the author’s belief
A．Predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology.
B．The future isn’t always easy to guess.
C．Not all of past predictions have come true.
D．Many of the hig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared.
62．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word “weird” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A．wonderful B．stupid
C．practical D．strange
63．What does the author think of the flying car
A．It is too difficult to imagine.
B．It is too crazy an idea.
C．It is likely to be made.
D．It is often reported in the news.

Nelson Mandela is on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of the great political leaders of our time：an international hero whose lifelong (终生的) devotion to the fight against racial (种族的) oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the leader of his country.Since his successful release in 1990 from more than a quarter century of imprisonment，Mandela has been at the centre of the most inspiring political drama in the world.
As president o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the African National Congress and head of South Africa’s movement for freedom，he made the nation move toward multi raced government and majority rule.He is respected everywhere as an important force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.

Mandela was raised ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the traditional culture.He brings to life the developing political struggle in the fifties between the ANC and the government.He tells about the surprisingly eventful twenty seven years in prison and the complex，proper negotiation that led both to his freedom and to the beginning of the equality.Finally he provides the greatest inside account of the unforgettable events since his release that produced at last a free democracy in South Africa.
To millions of peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e around the world，Nelson Mandela stands for the greatest achievements of hope over despair，of love over evil.Long Walk to Freedom expresses that spirit for all time.

Several years ago ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thoug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ht for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then tu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ead, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the President of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man, “Do you think so？”
“No, I don’t，” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the vi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you.”

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
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。
All That Noise is Damaging Children’s Hearing
Michel became hook ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed on headphones in his early teens.He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears.By his early 20s，Michel had lost much of his upper range hearing.
The Children’s Hear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States，and that one third of the damage is caused by noise.
Surrounded by noise
We live in a n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oisy world.Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control：power mowers，leaf blowers，snow blowers，cars and house alarms，sirens，motorcycles，Jet Skis，loudspeakers，even movie previews.
We attend rock conc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erts，weddings，parties and sports events at which the music is so loud that you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you.At home，televisions，stereos and computer games are often turned up so loudly that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone.Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(减轻)．Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you，your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.
As if environme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntal noise were not enough，now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing.Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels，as loud as a jet plane taking off.Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.
Protecting young ears
Before buying noise ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king toys，parents would do well to listen to how loud they are.If the toy comes with a volume control，monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level.Consider returning gifts that make loud noises；disable the noise making function.Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.
Children who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down.Time spent in video arcades，where the noise level can be over 110 decibels，should be strictly limited.Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.
Don’t take children ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to loud action movies.If you do go and the sound seems deafening，ask the manager to turn down the volume or insist on your money back.Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools，gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection，available at sporting goods stores.
The League for t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities，like reading，watching family oriented films，doing puzzles，making thins with construction toys，playing educational computer games，drawing and painting，and visiting libraries and museums.All That Noise Is Damaging Children’s Hearing
Introduction A boy lost muc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h of his hearing due to being 76.________ to headphones.

Short and shy，Ben ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team.
“Football，te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nnis，cricket—anything with a round ball，I was useless.”He says now with a laugh.But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.
It was a moun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him.At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend.Gradually，Saunders set his mind on building up his body，increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At the age of 18，he ran his first marathon.
The following ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar，he met John Ridgway，who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland，where he learned about the older man’s cold water exploits(成就)．Intrigued，Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions，then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys，and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy.“John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say ‘You’re completely crazy, ’”Saunders says.
In 2001，after beco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ming a skilled skier，Saunders started his first long distance expedition toward the North Pole.He suffered frostbite，had a close encounter (遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has sinc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole，and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton.His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October.Saunde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs,27，heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back，an 1,800 mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
1．We can learn from the text that Ridgway________.
A．dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasy
B．built up his body together with Saunders
C．hired Saunders for his cold water experience
D．won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
2．What do we know about Saunders
A．He once worked at a school in Scotland.
B．He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
C．He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D．He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
3．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means________.
A．excited B．convinced C．delighted D．fascinated
4．It can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole________.
A．was accompanied by his old playmates
B．set a record in the North Pole expedition
C．was supported by other Arctic explorers
D．made him well known in the 1960s
too...to...，通常意为“太……而不能”。
He is too young to go to school.

After 2 years of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )preparation，China has successfully launched its second manned spacecraft.On Wednesday morning，Shenzhou Ⅵ blasted_off from Northwest China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Two years ago，Chin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a launched its first manned spacecraft from right here—the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.This time，the country’s space program is taking another bold step—putting two men into space.Early on Wednesday morning，the two man crew，Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng，bade farewell to their commander as they boarded the Shenzhou Ⅵ spacecraft.
Two hours and forty minutes later，they were on their way into space.
Shenzhou Ⅴ put one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )astronaut in space for just one day.Shenzhou Ⅵ mission will send two astronauts in space for a number of days.It will also be the first time that Chinese astronauts will conduct scientific experiments on board.
If everything ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )goes smoothly，Shenzhou Ⅵ mission will go a long way to realize China’s ambition of having space walks and space stations some time in the future.
With the coun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tdown at 9∶00 a．m.，Shenzhou Ⅵ lifted off on a Long March 2F rocket.Ten minutes later，it separated from the rocket and entered the earth’s orbit at an altitude of over 300 kilometers.
The head of China’s G ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eneral Armaments department and director of the nation’s manned space program，Chen Bingde，declared the launch a success.
Shenzhou Ⅵ is being tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )acked and directed from 10 land monitoring centers and 4 monitoring vessels deployed in the Atlantic，Pacific and Indian Oceans.During their voyage，the two astronauts will be able to take off their 10 kilogram spacesuits and travel between the re entry capsule (返回舱) and the orbital capsule (轨道舱)．

Ⅲ.1.A [句意为：刀 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )疤是《狮子王》中一个残暴而危险的角色。character性格；人物；角色；quality质量；power权力；source来源。只有A项符合句意。]
2．D [考查millions of固定用法，表示“数以百万的，无数的”。]
3．D [用句式结构分析，and连接两个谓语，所以排除A、C两项；而wave to sb.表示向某人挥手。故应选D项。]
4．A [句意为：2003年10月 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )15日，星期三上午九时，中国第一艘载人宇宙飞船在甘肃酒泉升空。lift off(飞机等)起飞，(宇宙飞船)升空，发射；carry off赢得，轻松地处理；put off推迟；turn off关掉。由句意知选A项。]
5．C [考查separ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ate与divide的区别。separate指把原来连在一起或靠近的东西“分隔”开来，常与from连用；divide指把整体“划分”成若干份，常与into连用。由句意知选C项。]

8．B [考查 (sb.) hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e sth.to do结构，即用不定式做定语，若不定式中的动作(do)是主语发出的，则用主动形式；若不是主语发出的动作，则用不定式的被动形式。由句意知由“杨利伟去完成”，故选B项。]
9．D [考查be doing...when结构，意为“正在干……这时发生……”，此时when意为“这时”，而as，while无此意。]
10．B [句意为：我觉得 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )在太空中只停留21小时真是太短暂了。表示数目、时间、金额的复数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数，句中21 hours是作为一个整体，故其谓语用单数was。在太空中是固定用法即in space，所以选B项。]
Ⅳ.1.D [细节理解题。blasted off和第六段的lifted off一样，都是“升空”之意。]
2．B [细节理解题。根据短文内容可知，神舟六号升空10分钟后与火箭分离并进入地球轨道，此时才宣布发射成功。故正确答案为B项。]
3．C [细节理解题。根据短文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )内容可知，神舟六号设计可载两名宇航员在太空飞行长达7天之久，但实际飞行5天，故A项不对；短文明确指出这是中国宇航员在太空进行的科学实验，但没说是第一次故B项不对；神舟六号的成功发射标志着中国向着未来实现太空行走和建设太空站迈出了很大的一步，故D项也不对。]
