If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination: there is a science-backed reason that you’re more likely to feel down in the cooler months.
“It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein, an associate professor in University of Pittsburgh. The changes don’t always affect (影响) everyone in the same way, she added. But seasonal mood (情绪) changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep, you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.
There are a lot of reasons why our moods tend to change with the season, but a big factor is _________. “The hours of a day, which are shorter in winter and longer in summer, are the main reason,” said Roecklein. Sunsets are on their way to getting earlier and earlier as soon as autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.
One key point to remember about the “winter blues” is that it’s NOT something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat right. Try more fruits, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. It is said that a good chat with your best friends makes your day.
29．The second paragraph tells us ________.
A．that changes in sleep mean you want to sleep more
B．what activities lead you to seasonal mood changes
C．what problems you may have with seasonal mood changes
D．that your favorite activities make you less social

A．Feeling down in winter. B．Loving thick blue clothes.
C．Painting houses blue in winter. D．Listening to blues in winter.
32．People are advised to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A．drinking more water B．going out to have a sun bath
C．meeting their friends D．reading a book recommended by a friend

January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million（1/70 of Open AI’s cost）and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money.
DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies.
DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with RI cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta（a famous U. S. tech company）top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
US tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools.
As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.
33．The passage is mainly developed by ________.
A．providing examples B．listing numbers
C．following the order of time D．comparing R1 with other AIs
34．What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 2
A．It becomes better through practice. B．It copies answers from other AIs.
C．It needs programmers to fix mistakes. D．It only works with expensive tools.
35．Why does the engineer say, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”
A．To explain why R1 is free. B．To compare R1 with Meta’s AI.
C．To encourage students to study math. D．To show that expensive AI models have no value.
36．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain how computer chips work. B．To introduce a low-cost AI model from China.
C．To encourage students to become programmers. D．To compare Chinese and American AI technologies.

I was now in my twenty-seventh year on the island. One evening Friday went out to look for food. But soon he was back, and he looked very afraid.
“Master! Master!” he cried, “There’s a great ship near the island, and men are coming to the shore in a boat!”
I jumped up and ran with him down to the shore. I saw that it was an English ship! But why was it here English ships never came this way. Perhaps they were pirates (海盗)! “Don’t let them see you, Friday!” I called, “We’ll hide in the trees and watch.”
There were eleven men in the boat, but three of them were prisoners (囚犯). Their arms were tied with rope, but their legs were free and they could walk. The other sailors pushed the three prisoners up the beach, laughing and shouting and hitting them. The three prisoners walked slowly along the beach and sat down under a tree, not far from us. They looked very unhappy.
Very quietly, I came up behind them through the trees, and called out to them in English.
“Don’t be afraid,” I said. “I’m an Englishman. Perhaps I can help you.”
The three men turned and looked at me. They did not answer at once. They were too surprised.
Perhaps they thought I was a wild man myself, in my strange clothes made of animals’ skins, and with my long hair and beard.
Then the oldest man spoke, “I am the captain of that ship,” he said, “and these two men are my first and second officers. Last night there was a mutiny (叛乱), and the seamen took the ship from me. Now they’re going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island.”
“Do these mutineers (叛军) have guns ”
“Only two,” he answered, “and they’ve left those on the boat.”
“All right,” I said. “We’ll fight them. But if we get your ship back for you, you must take me back to England.”
Friday ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan.
37．How did Friday feel when he saw an English ship coming towards the island
A．Relaxed. B．Excited. C．Angry. D．Afraid.
38．What is the correct order of the following events
a. The three prisoners sat under a tree on the beach.
b. The writer and Friday saw a ship coming to their island.
c. The writer managed to talk with the three prisoners.
d. The mutineers took the ship from the three prisoners.
A．b-a-c-d B．b-c-a-d C．d-b-a-c D．d-a-b-c
39．Which of the following is true about the writer
A．He himself was a wild man indeed.
B．He hoped to get away from the island.
C．He lived on the island alone for 27 years.
D．He could fight the mutineers without guns.
40．Why did “I” help the captain
A．Because he was caught by the mutineers.
B．Because the ship was taken by the mutineers.
C．Because a mutiny happened on the ship.
D．Because maybe it was a chance for me to leave the island.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever wondered why the letters on akeyboard are not in “ABC” order
The keyboard we use every day is called the QWERTY keyboard layout (布局). Q, W, E, R, T, Y are the first six letters on this layout, starting from the top left. 41 The first manual typewriter (手动打字机), with a keyboard which looked like a piano, was invented in the late 19th century. 42 However, people later found out that as the typing speed (速度) increased, some keys failed to come back to their places quickly. As a result, they got jammed (卡住) very easily. 43 To solve this problem, the QWERTY keyboard was invented. It placed keys in such a way that the most used letters were spaced out so that the keys were more likely to work freely.
44 With the arrival of the computer, the typists in offices were the same people who were to now use computers. This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device (设备). 45 It was easier to design the keyboards following the layout of typewriters, which was the QWERTY layout, and this continues even today.
A．But training required too much time and money.
B．However, another problem came about in the 1940s.
C．These typewriters did have the ABC keyboard layout.
D．Here are some tips to help you get used to the QWERTY keyboard.
E．To understand why we went with QWERTY, we need to go back in history.
F．Most typists ended up breaking the typewriter altogether when separating the keys.
G．The QWERTY keyboard is the most popular choice worldwide.

48．Their family moved away from the small village a (几个) of years ago.
49．The house with a big garden is one of my (亲戚).

请认真阅读短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
What is space tourism
Space tourism is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream—described in books such as Arthur C． Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality.
Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions have come true yet—but the rapid development of technology may mean these predictions are a possibility in the years to come.
Space Adventure is currently the only company to send people into space. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer flights for the world’s first private space explorers. Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.
Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about the possibility of sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Passengers would go to a height of between 100 and 160 km above earth, experience 3—6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about $200, 000 per person.
While it could be an amazing experience, there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people worldwide who couldn’t pay for it.
64．Which book described space tourism
65．When did the first man land on the moon
66．Do you think space travel will be easy to popularize (普及) in the future Why

1．The UK is _________ European country while China is ________ Asian country.
A．an; an B．an; a C．a; a D．a; an
【答案】D
【详解】句意：英国是一个欧洲国家，而中国是一个亚洲国家。
考查冠词。an一个，修饰元音音素开头的单词；a一个，修饰辅音音素开头的单词。European是辅音音素开头的单词，因此第一空用不定冠词a修饰European country；Asian是元音音素开头的单词，因此第二空用不定冠词an修饰Asian country，故选D。
2．—Where did you get the book
—From the library. And I have ________ it for two weeks.
A．borrowed B．lent C．bought D．kept
【答案】D
【详解】句意：——你从哪里弄到这本书的？ ——从图书馆。我已经借了两周了。
考查动词辨析。borrowed借入；lent借出；bought购买；kept保留。分析挖空所在句可知，此句为肯定句并且其时间状语为“for+时间段”，所以此句谓语应用延续性动词，选项中只有“kept”为延续性动词。故选D。
3．The European Union (欧盟) is ________ 27 member countries. Neither Ukraine nor Russia is in it.
A．made of B．made from C．made in D．made up of
【答案】D
【详解】句意：欧盟由27个成员国组成。乌克兰和俄罗斯都不在其中。
考查动词短语。be made of由……制成；be made from由……制成；be made in在某地制作；be made up of由……组成。根据“The European Union (欧盟) is...27 member countries”可知欧盟由27个成员国组成。故选D。
4．The old lady lives ________ in a lonely house, but she doesn’t feel ________.
A．alone; lonely B．lonely; alone C．lonely; lonely D．alone; alone
【答案】A
【详解】句意：这位老妇人独自住在一个偏僻的房子里，但是她并不感觉孤独。
考查alone和lonely的区别。alone可用作形容词或副词，表示“一个人，独自”，无感彩；lonely作形容词，表示“孤独的，寂寞的”，有较强的感彩。根据“lives...in a lonely house”可知空格处为副词修饰live，故此处为alone；根据“but she doesn’t feel...”可知feel为系动词，后接形容词，且此处为转折关系，前面表示老人一个人住，后面转折表示老妇人并不孤独，故此处应填lonely。故选A。
5．They got married ________ 2010. That means they have been married ________ 2010.
A．since, in B．since, since
C．in, since D．in, in
【答案】C
【详解】句意：他们在2010年结的婚。那意味着他们自从2010年就已经结婚了。
考查介词。in用在年、月的前面；since+时间点，表示“自从……以来”，常与现在完成时连用。故选C。
6．— Where is your teacher — He ______ the library. He ______ the library for an hour.
A．has gone to; has been to B．has gone to; has been in
C．has been to; has been in D．has been to; has gone to
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——你的老师在哪里？——他去了图书馆，已经一个小时了。考查现在完成时。结合上文Where is your teacher？可知老师不在，去了某地，动作发生在过去，持续了一段时间用现在完成时have/has+过去分词；have/has gone to去了某地；have/has been to 去过某地；have/has been in在某地待了多久。主语he，故has，结合for an hour可知是表达待了多久，故答案是B。
7．With the ________, we can choose one icon and click on it for more details.
A．menu B．mouse C．printer D．screen
【答案】B
【详解】句意：用鼠标，我们可以选择一个图标，然后点击它来获得更多的细节。
考查名词词义辨析。menu菜单；mouse鼠标；printer打印机；screen屏幕。根据“click on it”可知是用鼠标在上面点击。故选B。
8．—Have you decided ________, lady
—Sorry, I haven’t decided yet.
A．to buy which one B．buy which one C．which to buy one D．which one to buy
【答案】D
【详解】句意：——女士，你决定买哪一个了吗？——对不起，我还没有决定。
考查疑问词+不定式的结构。根据题干并结合选项可知，问句的宾语是“疑问词+动词不定式”，因此可排除选项A和B；而疑问词“which”在此处作定语，应紧跟所修饰的词one，故排除选项C，只有选项D符合题意。故选D。
9．—Can you give me ________ on what to wear to the party, Tom
—I think the white dress is OK.
A．some advice B．some advices C．an advice D．any advices
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——汤姆，关于参加聚会穿什么衣服，你能给我一些建议吗？——我想那件白色的就可以了。

10．—Do you mind my smoking here
—________. Look at the sign. It says, “No smoking.”
A．You’d better not B．It doesn’t matter C．Yes, please D．No, I don’t
【答案】A
【详解】句意：——你介意我在这里抽烟吗？——你最好不要。看标牌，上面写着：“禁止吸烟。”
考查情景交际。You’d better not你最好不要；It doesn’t matter没关系；Yes, please是的，请；No, I don’t不，我没有。根据“Look at the sign. It says, ‘No smoking.’”可知，此处表示最好不要抽烟。故选A。
二、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination: there is a science-backed reason that you’re more likely to feel down in the cooler months.
“It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein, an associate professor in University of Pittsburgh. The changes don’t always affect (影响) everyone in the same way, she added. But seasonal mood (情绪) changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep, you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.
There are a lot of reasons why our moods tend to change with the season, but a big factor is _________. “The hours of a day, which are shorter in winter and longer in summer, are the main reason,” said Roecklein. Sunsets are on their way to getting earlier and earlier as soon as autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.
One key point to remember about the “winter blues” is that it’s NOT something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat right. Try more fruits, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. It is said that a good chat with your best friends makes your day.
29．The second paragraph tells us ________.
A．that changes in sleep mean you want to sleep more
B．what activities lead you to seasonal mood changes
C．what problems you may have with seasonal mood changes
D．that your favorite activities make you less social
30．Which of the following is the most suitable for the blank (空白处) in Paragraph 3
A．Wind. B．Light. C．Time. D．Food.
31．What does the underlined phrase “winter blues” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Feeling down in winter. B．Loving thick blue clothes.
C．Painting houses blue in winter. D．Listening to blues in winter.
32．People are advised to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A．drinking more water B．going out to have a sun bath
C．meeting their friends D．reading a book recommended by a friend
【答案】29．C 30．B 31．A 32．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了季节性情绪变化的原因以及如何应对冬季情绪低落的问题。
29．细节理解题。根据“But seasonal mood changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep, you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.”可知，第二段主要讲述了季节性情绪变化可能带来的问题。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据“The hours of a day, which are shorter in winter and longer in summer, are the main reason”和“Sunsets are on their way to getting earlier and earlier as soon as autumn begins”可知，夏天白天时间长，秋天一开始，日落就越来越早了。由此可推出，影响情绪变化的主要因素是光照时间的变化。故选B。
31．词句猜测题。根据“so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.”和“it’s NOT something we cannot overcome”可知，“冬季忧郁症”这种情绪变化并不是我们无法克服的事情。“winter blues”指的是冬季情绪低落。故选A。
32．细节理解题。根据“First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat right. Try more fruits, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends.”可知，文章建议做的事情包括晒太阳、合理饮食、与朋友见面，但没有提到阅读朋友推荐的书。故选D。
C
January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million（1/70 of Open AI’s cost）and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money.
DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies.
DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with RI cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta（a famous U. S. tech company）top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
US tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools.
As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.
33．The passage is mainly developed by ________.
A．providing examples B．listing numbers
C．following the order of time D．comparing R1 with other AIs
34．What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 2
A．It becomes better through practice. B．It copies answers from other AIs.
C．It needs programmers to fix mistakes. D．It only works with expensive tools.
35．Why does the engineer say, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use”
A．To explain why R1 is free. B．To compare R1 with Meta’s AI.
C．To encourage students to study math. D．To show that expensive AI models have no value.
36．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain how computer chips work. B．To introduce a low-cost AI model from China.
C．To encourage students to become programmers. D．To compare Chinese and American AI technologies.
【答案】33．D 34．A 35．A 36．B
【导语】本文通过对比和举例，介绍了DeepSeek-R1这一低成本、高性能的AI模型，并强调了其在全球AI领域的重要性和创新意义。
33．推理判断题。通读全文可知，DeepSeek-R1该模型能以较低的成本完成与顶级模型相似的任务，它通过自我学习和实践来提高性能，与其他大量预设示例的AI不同。DeepSeek-R1的免费使用和修改政策使其在全球范围内受到关注。可见，文章主要是通过比较DeepSeek-R1与其他AI来展开。故选D。
34．词义猜测题。根据第二段“DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths.”可知，DeepSeek-R1能够像学生练习数学一样不断尝试并改进，说明它能通过自身练习来变得更好。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据“We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.”可知，工程师说“我们希望AI成为一个朋友，而不仅仅是富人可以使用的东西”，由此可以推测，这样说是为了解释为什么AI是免费的。故选A。
36．主旨大意题。根据第一段“January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-RI. This smart program can solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT-40, but it costs much less to build.”及全文可知，本文主要是为了介绍中国公司DeepSeek研发的低成本AI模型DeepSeek-R1。该模型能以较低的成本完成与顶级模型相似的任务，它通过自我学习和实践来提高性能，还介绍了DeepSeek-R1的免费使用和修改政策。故选B。

I was now in my twenty-seventh year on the island. One evening Friday went out to look for food. But soon he was back, and he looked very afraid.
“Master! Master!” he cried, “There’s a great ship near the island, and men are coming to the shore in a boat!”
I jumped up and ran with him down to the shore. I saw that it was an English ship! But why was it here English ships never came this way. Perhaps they were pirates (海盗)! “Don’t let them see you, Friday!” I called, “We’ll hide in the trees and watch.”
There were eleven men in the boat, but three of them were prisoners (囚犯). Their arms were tied with rope, but their legs were free and they could walk. The other sailors pushed the three prisoners up the beach, laughing and shouting and hitting them. The three prisoners walked slowly along the beach and sat down under a tree, not far from us. They looked very unhappy.
Very quietly, I came up behind them through the trees, and called out to them in English.
“Don’t be afraid,” I said. “I’m an Englishman. Perhaps I can help you.”
The three men turned and looked at me. They did not answer at once. They were too surprised.
Perhaps they thought I was a wild man myself, in my strange clothes made of animals’ skins, and with my long hair and beard.
Then the oldest man spoke, “I am the captain of that ship,” he said, “and these two men are my first and second officers. Last night there was a mutiny (叛乱), and the seamen took the ship from me. Now they’re going to leave the three of us here, to die on this island.”
“Do these mutineers (叛军) have guns ”
“Only two,” he answered, “and they’ve left those on the boat.”
“All right,” I said. “We’ll fight them. But if we get your ship back for you, you must take me back to England.”
Friday ran back to my house to get all the guns, and the captain and I made a plan.
37．How did Friday feel when he saw an English ship coming towards the island
A．Relaxed. B．Excited. C．Angry. D．Afraid.

A．He himself was a wild man indeed.
B．He hoped to get away from the island.
C．He lived on the island alone for 27 years.
D．He could fight the mutineers without guns.
40．Why did “I” help the captain
A．Because he was caught by the mutineers.
B．Because the ship was taken by the mutineers.
C．Because a mutiny happened on the ship.
D．Because maybe it was a chance for me to leave the island.
【答案】37．D 38．C 39．B 40．D

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever wondered why the letters on akeyboard are not in “ABC” order
The keyboard we use every day is called the QWERTY keyboard layout (布局). Q, W, E, R, T, Y are the first six letters on this layout, starting from the top left. 41 The first manual typewriter (手动打字机), with a keyboard which looked like a piano, was invented in the late 19th century. 42 However, people later found out that as the typing speed (速度) increased, some keys failed to come back to their places quickly. As a result, they got jammed (卡住) very easily. 43 To solve this problem, the QWERTY keyboard was invented. It placed keys in such a way that the most used letters were spaced out so that the keys were more likely to work freely.
44 With the arrival of the computer, the typists in offices were the same people who were to now use computers. This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device (设备). 45 It was easier to design the keyboards following the layout of typewriters, which was the QWERTY layout, and this continues even today.
A．But training required too much time and money.
B．However, another problem came about in the 1940s.
C．These typewriters did have the ABC keyboard layout.
D．Here are some tips to help you get used to the QWERTY keyboard.
E．To understand why we went with QWERTY, we need to go back in history.
F．Most typists ended up breaking the typewriter altogether when separating the keys.
G．The QWERTY keyboard is the most popular choice worldwide.
【答案】41．E 42．C 43．F 44．B 45．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了为什么我们的键盘不是按“ABC”顺序排列的。
41．根据“The keyboard we use every day is called the QWERTY keyboard layout (布局). Q, W, E, R, T, Y are the first six letters on this layout, starting from the top left.”可知，此处介绍我们每天使用的键盘被称为QWERTY键盘布局，结合下文可知是指键盘打字的历史，选项E“为了理解我们为什么选择QWERTY键盘，我们需要回顾一下历史。”符合语境。故选E。
42．根据“The first manual typewriter (手动打字机), with a keyboard which looked like a piano, was invented in the late 19th century.”可知，第一台手动打字机，键盘看起来像钢琴，结合下句“However, people later found out that as the typing speed (速度)increased, some keys failed to come back to their places quickly.”可知，此处的内容和“随着打字速度的提高，一些键无法快速返回原位”含义相反， 选项C“这些打字机确实有ARC键盘布局。”符合语境。故选C。
43．根据“As a result, they got jammed (卡住) very easily.”可知，第一台手动打字机的键很容易卡住，选项F“大多数打字员在分离按键时，最后都把打字机弄坏了。”符合语境。故选F。
44．根据“With the arrival of the computer, the typists in offices were the same people who were to now use computers. This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device (设备).”可知，随着电脑的出现，办公室里的打字员就是现在操作电脑的人，这意味着打字员必须接受培训才能使用新设备，选项B“然而，另一个问题在20世纪40年代出现 了。”符合语境，承接上下文。故选B。
45．根据“This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device(设备).”可知，此处是和培训相关，选项A“但是培训需要太多的时间和金钱。”符合语境。故选A。

55．句意：格列佛设法摆脱了那些小个子。manage to do“设法做某事”，因此设空处填所给词的不定式，故填to get。
56．句意：然而，海上发生了一场大风暴。根据“He found a boat and tried to sail home.”以及“there was a great storm at sea.”并结合语境可知，此处表转折，空后有逗号，所以用however，故填However。
57．句意：他们都有20多米高。根据“than 20 meters tall.”可知，是20多米高，more than“超出”。故填more。
58．句意：一个农民先找到了格列佛，把他带回家。根据“Gulliver first and took him home.”可知，设空处为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式found“找到”。故填found。
59．句意：农夫的女儿把格列佛带到镇上。设空处后有名词“daughter”，这里指的农民的女儿，因此填所给词的所有格形式farmer’s“农民的”。故填farmer’s。
60．句意：她把格列佛作为礼物送给国王。根据“a present”可知，这里指的是作为礼物，as“作为”。故填as。
61．句意：国王喜欢听格列佛谈论他的祖国和他的旅行。根据“The King enjoyed”可知，设空处后填动名词，enjoy doing“喜欢做某事”，因此listening“听”符合题意。故填listening。
62．句意：他们所有的东西，如椅子、桌子、刀叉和盘子，对格列佛来说都太大了，所以他们用小物件建造了一个小房子供他居住。根据“such as chairs, tables”可知，设空处填所给词的复数形式knives“刀”，泛指类别。故填knives。
63．句意：他们所有的东西，如椅子、桌子、刀叉和盘子，对格列佛来说都太大了，所以他们用小物件建造了一个小房子供他居住。根据“small objects”可知，是带有小物件的房子给他住，with“具有”。故填with。
六、任务型阅读（共3小题，满分7分）
请认真阅读短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
What is space tourism
Space tourism is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream—described in books such as Arthur C． Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality.
Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions have come true yet—but the rapid development of technology may mean these predictions are a possibility in the years to come.
Space Adventure is currently the only company to send people into space. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer flights for the world’s first private space explorers. Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.
Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about the possibility of sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Passengers would go to a height of between 100 and 160 km above earth, experience 3—6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about $200, 000 per person.
While it could be an amazing experience, there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people worldwide who couldn’t pay for it.
64．Which book described space tourism
65．When did the first man land on the moon
66．Do you think space travel will be easy to popularize (普及) in the future Why
【答案】64．2001: A space Odyssey. 65．In 1969. 66．No. Because the cost is too high.
【导语】本文主要介绍了太空旅行的发展以及带来的问题。
64．根据“Space tourism…What was once only a dream—described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality.”可知，《2001太空漫游》描述了太空旅行。故填2001: A space Odyssey.
65．根据“After the first man landed on the moon in 1969”可知，第一个人登上月球是在1969年。故填In 1969.
66．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：No. Because the cost is too high.
