Some_people
are
like
homing
pigeons：Drop
them
off
anywhere，and
they’ll
find
their
way
around.Other
people，though，can’t
tell
when
they’re
holding
a
map
upside
down.Are
the
directionally
challenged
just
bad
learners?
Not
all
of
your
navigational
(导航的)
skills
are
learned.Research
shows
that
your
sense
of
direction
is
innate.An
innate
ability
is
something
you
are
born
with.Your
brain
has
special
navigational
neurons—head?direction
cells，place
cells，and
grid
cells
(网格细胞)—and
they
help
program
your
inside
compass
(指南针)
when
you’re
just
a
baby.
In
2010，scientists
carried
out
an
experiment
to
study
baby
rats’
neural
activity
in
their
brains.Although
the
rats
were
newborns，the
researchers
discovered
that
their
head?direction
cells
(which
help
them
recognize
the
direction
they’re
facing)
were
fully
grown
and
developed.The
rats，it
seemed，were
born
with
a
sense
of
direction.And
they
hadn’t
even
opened
their
eyes
yet!
Humans，of
course，are
not
rats.But
the
hippocampus—the
brain
area
we
use
for
navigation—is
similar
in
most
mammals
(哺乳动物)．If
the
rat’s
compass
develops
this
way，then
it’s
likely
that
a
human’s
compass
does，too.
If
we’re
born
with
a
sense
of
direction，then
why
are
some
people
so
good
at
getting
lost？The
scientists
found
that
the
two
other
cells—place
and
grid
cells—developed
within
the
first
month.Place
cells
are
thought
to
help
us
form
a
map
in
our
mind，while
grid
cells
help
us
navigate
new
and
unfamiliar
places.The
two
cells
work
together，and
that’s
where
the
trouble
might
be.
People
who
took
part
in
a
2013
study
played
a
video
game
that
required
them
to
travel
quickly
between
different
places.Monitoring
(监测)
their
brains，the
scientists
found
that
grid
cells
helped
the
gamers
recognize
where
they
were—even
without
landmarks.According
to
researcher
Michael
Kahana，differences
in
how
grid
cells
work
may
help
explain
why
some
people
have
a
better
sense
of
direction
than
others.

Dear
young
musicians，
Thank
you
for
agreeing
to
take
part
in
our
Music
Day.The
whole
idea
of
the
day
is
for
music
students
around
the
area
to
meet
other
players
and
receive
expert
(专家般的)
teaching
from
our
guests，six
professional
players.In
the
evening，you
will
perform
the
pieces
you
have
worked
on
during
the
day
at
a
concert
which
your
friends
and
family
can
attend
(参加)．
After
you
have
registered
(注册)
at
the
reception，go
to
the
main
hall.First，there
will
be
a
short
performance
by
our
professional
musicians
who
are
joining
us
for
the
day.After
this
you
will
go
into
your
classes
to
practice
on
your
own
instruments
for
the
evening
concert.There
will
also
be
a
chance
to
experiment
with
a
different
instrument
from
the
one
you
normally
play，and
see
if
you
enjoy
playing
something
more
unusual—we
have
several
instruments
to
choose
from!
The
first
part
of
the
day
will
finish
at
5
pm，when
parents
can
collect
students.For
those
remaining
in
the
hall
until
the
evening
concert
at
7
pm，there
will
be
DVDs
for
you
to
watch，although
you
should
also
bring
something
to
do
while
you
are
waiting.A
change
of
clothes
is
required
for
the
evening—black
trousers
or
a
skirt
and
white
top—so
unless
you
are
going
home
at
5
pm，you
will
need
to
have
this
with
you
at
the
start
of
the
day.
If
for
whatever
reason
you
cannot
attend
the
evening
concert，you
must
tell
us
as
soon
as
possible，as
we
need
to
know
numbers
in
order
to
prepare
the
stage.We
look
forward
to
seeing
you
at
the
Young
People’s
Music
Day.

Ⅲ.七选五
Worry
problems
are
everywhere
in
our
daily
life.How
to
solve
them？The
answer
is
that
we
must
equip
ourselves
to
deal
with
different
kinds
of
worries
by
learning
the
three
basic
steps
of
problem
analysis.The
three
steps
are：
Get
the
facts
Why
is
it
so
important
to
get
the
facts？Unless
you
have
the
facts，you
can’t
possibly
attempt
to
solve
your
problem
intelligently.Without
the
facts，all
you
can
do
is
wondering
around
in
confusion.It
is
not
an
easy
job
to
get
facts.When
you
are
worried，your
emotions
are
riding
high.__1__
When
trying
to
get
the
facts，you
can
pretend
that
you
are
collecting
this
information
not
for
yourself
but
for
some
other
person.__2__You
can
also
pretend
that
you
are
a
lawyer
preparing
to
agree.Try
to
get
all
the
facts
both
on
your
side
and
the
other
side
of
the
case.You
will
generally
find
the
truth
lies
somewhere
in
between.
__3__
Whenever
you
are
worried，write
down
the
questions
that
make
you
worry.And
write
out
all
the
various
steps
you
could
take
and
then
the
probable
consequences
of
each
step.For
example，what
am
I
worrying
about？What
can
I
do
about
it？Here
is
what
I’m
going
to
do
about
it.After
carefully
weighing
all
the
facts，you
can
calmly
come
to
a
decision.
Act
on
that
decision
__4__How
can
you
break
the
worry
habit
before
it
breaks
you？Crowd
worry
out
of
your
mind
by
keeping
busy.Plenty
of
action
is
one
of
the
best
ways
to
cure
worry.__5__If
you
know
a
situation
is
beyond
your
power，say
to
yourself：“It
is
so；it
can’t
be
otherwise.”
Don’t
permit
little
things
to
ruin
your
happiness.Try
to
cultivate
a
mental
attitude
that
will
bring
you
peace
and
happiness.
A．Accept
what
can’t
be
avoided.
B．Analyze
the
facts.
C．There
comes
a
time
when
you
must
decide
and
never
look
back.
D．But
here
are
two
ideas
that
can
help
you
see
the
facts
in
a
clear
and
objective
way.
E．Unless
you
take
your
action，all
your
facts—findings
and
analysis—are
a
sheer
waste
of
energy.
F．Decide
how
much
anxiety
a
thing
may
be
worth.
G．This
will
help
you
to
take
a
cold
and
fair
view
of
the
evidence.

is
that
we
must
equip
ourselves
to
deal
with
different
kinds
of
worries
by
learning
the
three
basic
steps
of
problem
analysis.The
three
steps
are：
Get
the
facts
Why
is
it
so
important
to
get
the
facts？Unless
you
have
the
facts，you
can’t
possibly
attempt
to
solve
your
problem
intelligently.Without
the
facts，all
you
can
do
is
wondering
around
in
confusion.It
is
not
an
easy
job
to
get
facts.When
you
are
worried，your
emotions
are
riding
high.__1__
When
trying
to
get
the
facts，you
can
pretend
that
you
are
collecting
this
information
not
for
yourself
but
for
some
other
person.__2__You
can
also
pretend
that
you
are
a
lawyer
preparing
to
agree.Try
to
get
all
the
facts
both
on
your
side
and
the
other
side
of
the
case.You
will
generally
find
the
truth
lies
somewhere
in
between.
__3__
Whenever
you
are
worried，write
down
the
questions
that
make
you
worry.And
write
out
all
the
various
steps
you
could
take
and
then
the
probable
consequences
of
each
step.For
example，what
am
I
worrying
about？What
can
I
do
about
it？Here
is
what
I’m
going
to
do
about
it.After
carefully
weighing
all
the
facts，you
can
calmly
come
to
a
decision.
Act
on
that
decision
__4__How
can
you
break
the
worry
habit
before
it
breaks
you？Crowd
worry
out
of
your
mind
by
keeping
busy.Plenty
of
action
is
one
of
the
best
ways
to
cure
worry.__5__If
you
know
a
situation
is
beyond
your
power，say
to
yourself：“It
is
so；it
can’t
be
otherwise.”
Don’t
permit
little
things
to
ruin
your
happiness.Try
to
cultivate
a
mental
attitude
that
will
bring
you
peace
and
happiness.
A．Accept
what
can’t
be
avoided.
B．Analyze
the
facts.
C．There
comes
a
time
when
you
must
decide
and
never
look
back.
D．But
here
are
two
ideas
that
can
help
you
see
the
facts
in
a
clear
and
objective
way.
E．Unless
you
take
your
action，all
your
facts—findings
and
analysis—are
a
sheer
waste
of
energy.
F．Decide
how
much
anxiety
a
thing
may
be
worth.
G．This
will
help
you
to
take
a
cold
and
fair
view
of
the
evidence.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Edmund
Halley
was
an
English
scientist
who
lived
over
200
years
ago.He
studied
the
observations
of
comets
(彗星)
which
other
scientists
had
made.The
orbit
of
one
particular
comet
was
a
very
difficult
mathematical
(数学)
problem.He
could
not
figure
it
out.Neither
could
other
scientists
who
dealt
with
such
problems.
However，Halley
had
a
friend
named
Newton，who
was
a
brilliant
mathematician.Newton
thought
he
had
already
worked
out
that
problem，but
he
could
not
find
the
papers
on
which
he
had
done
it.He
told
Halley
that
the
orbit
of
a
comet
had
the
shape
of
an
ellipse
(椭圆)．
Now
Halley
set
to
work.He
figured
out
(解决；计算出)
the
orbits
of
some
of
the
comets
that
had
been
observed
by
scientists.He
made
a
surprising
discovery.The
comets
that
had
appeared
in
the
years
1531,1607，and
1682
all
had
the
same
orbit.Yet
their
appearances
had
been
75
to
76
years
apart.
This
seemed
very
strange
to
Halley.The
different
comets
followed
the
same
orbit.The
more
Halley
thought
about
it，the
more
he
thought
that
there
had
not
been
three
different
comets，as
people
thought.He
decided
that
they
had
simply
seen
the
same
comet
three
times.The
comet
had
gone
away
and
had
come
back
again.
It
was
an
astonishing
idea！Halley
felt
certain
enough
to
make
a
prediction
(预言)
of
what
comet
would
happen
in
the
future.He
decided
that
this
comet
would
appear
in
the
year
1758.There
were
53
years
to
go
before
Halley’s
prediction
could
be
tested.In
1758
the
comet
appeared
in
the
sky.Halley
did
not
see
it，for
he
has
died
some
years
before.Ever
since
then
that
comet
has
been
called
Halley’s
comet，in
his
honor.
1．Halley
made
his
discovery________.
A．by
doing
experiments
B．by
means
of
his
own
careful
observation
C．by
using
the
work
of
other
scientists
D．by
chance
2．Halley
made
a
surprising，but
correct
prediction
in
the
year________.
A．1704
B．1705
C．1706
D．1707
3．This
passage
in

about________.
A．Halley
and
other
scientists
B．the
orbit
of
a
comet
C．Newton
and
Halley
D．Halley

Ⅱ.阅读理解
People
have
always
been
dreaming
of
going
to
the
moon.As
long
as
the
year
1901，H.G.Wells，an
English
writer，wrote
a
book
vividly
describing
a
trip
to
the
moon.On
landing
there，the
explorers
discovered
that
the
moon
was
full
of
underground
cities.Words
failed
to
express
their
surprise
when
they
spotted
so
many
“moon
people”．The
“moon
people”
felt
even
more
surprised.“Why，”
they
asked，“are
you
traveling
to
outer
space
when
you
don’t
even
use
your
inner
space？”
H．G.Wells
could
only
imagine
a
travel
to
the
moon.In
1969，human
beings
really
left
their
footsteps
on
the
moon.People
today
know
that
there
are
no
underground
cities
on
the
moon.However，the
question
that
the
“moon
people”
asked
is
still
an
interesting
one.A
growing
number
of
scientists
are
seriously
thinking
about
it.
Underground
systems
are
already
in
place.Many
cities
have
underground
car
parks.In
some
cities，such
as
Tokyo，Seoul
and
Montreal，there
are
large
underground
shopping
areas.The
“Channel”，a
tunnel
connecting
England
and
France，is
now
complete.
But
what
about
underground
cities？Japan’s
Taisei
Corporation
is
designing
a
network
of
underground
systems，called
“Alice
Cities”．The
designers
imagine
using
surface
space
for
public
parks
and
using
underground
space
for
flats，offices，shopping，and
so
on.A
solar
dome
(太阳能穹顶)
would
cover
the
whole
city.
Supporters
of
underground
development
argue
that
building
down
rather
than
building
up
is
a
good
way
to
use
the
earth’s
space.The
space，they
say，can
be
used
for
farms，parks，gardens，and
wilderness.H.G.Wells’
“moon
people”
would
second
it.Would
you?
1．The
explorers
in
H．G.Wells’
story
were
surprised
to
find
that
the
“moon

________.
A．knew
so
much
about

earth
B．understood

C．lived

D．were

2．What
does
the

“it”
(Paragraph
2)
refer
to?
A．Discovering
the
moon’s
inner
space.
B．Using
the
earth’s

C．Meeting
the
“moon

again.

A．H.G.Wells

If
I
have
a
chance
to
travel
in
space，I’d
like
to
go
to
Mars.
I
have
always
dreamed
of
visiting
it
ever
since
I
heard
that
Mars
is
most
like
the
earth
and
there
could
have
been
life
on
this
planet.The
more
I
learn
about
it，the
more
I
become
interested
in
it.I
want
to
do
research
on
whether
it
is
a
planet
we
humans
can
live
on.Another
reason
I
want
to
go
there
is
that
I’d
like
to
learn
more
about
Mars
and
write
a
book
about
it
in
the

I
hope
I

Reading—Pre?reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It’s
not
easy
to
die
when
you
are
only
fifteen.
Those
were
the
words
that
began
the
story
I
heard
from
Robert
White，a
North
Carolina
factory
worker.He
and
his
wife
were
visiting
their
daughter
Lee
in
the
hospital
as
they
did
every
evening.
This
evening，Lee
suddenly
said，“I
always
dreamed
of
swimming
with
dolphins
(海豚)，free
and
happy
in
the
open
sea.I
still
dream
of
it.”
It
seemed
like
an
absurd
dream
because
she
was
so
ill
that
she
couldn’t
walk
without
help.
Robert
and
his
family
talked
it
over
and
decided
to
do
everything
they
could.They
had
heard
of
a
research
center
at
Grass
Key，and
they
phoned
them.
“Come
at
once，”
they
said.
When
they
arrived
there，Robert
took
Lee
to
the
dolphins，Nat
and
Tursi.At
first，they
seemed
uninterested，but
when
Lee
called
them
softly
by
name，they
came
over.They
kissed
her
on
her
nose
and
carried
her
out
to
sea
with
them.
“It
feels
like
I’m
flying！”
cried
Lee，laughing
with
joy.
Lee’s
family
hadn’t
heard
her
laugh
like
that
since
before
she
became
ill.In
that
hour
with
the
dolphins，Lee
was
strong
and
happy
like
she
used
to
be.
The
next
day
Lee
was
too
weak
to
get
out
of
bed.She
told
Robert，“Daddy，don’t
be
sad
for
me.I’ll
never
be
afraid
again.The
dolphins
have
made
me
understand
that
I
have
nothing
to
fear.”
Just
before
night
fell，Robert’s
little
girl
died
in
his
arms.The
next
day
they
went
out
to
scatter
(撒)
her
ashes
(骨灰)
in
the
ocean
among
the
dolphins
as
she
wanted.And
then，suddenly，through
their
tears，they
saw
Nat
and
Tursi
jumping
out
of
the
water.
As
Robert
said，“They
had
come
to
take
our
daughter
home.”

C
“Hello，Earth！Can
you
hear
me？”
That’s
the
voice
more
than
400,000
people
received
recently.It
was
from
Philae，a
space
vehicle
that
landed
on
a
cormet
in
2014.However，its
transmissions
(传送信号)
back
home
went
silent
since
then.
It
took
a
long
time
for
Philae
to
make
its
way
across
the
solar
system
and
reach
comet
67P/C?G.The
space
vehicle
got
there
aboard
the
Rosetta
probe
(探测器)，which
has
been
circling
around
the
comet
since
Philae
separated
from
it
in
November,2014.
Philae’s
job
was
to
collect
materials
to
study
the
comet’s
composition.And
for
about
two
and
a
half
days
after
landing，it
did
just
that，sending
the
information
back
to
scientists
on
Earth.But
Philae’s
landing
on
the
comet’s
icy
surface
had
not
been
smooth.While
touching
down，it
jumped
up
and
ended
up
in
the
shadow
of
something
like
a
huge
rock.Philae
runs
on
solar
power，but
there
was
no
light
in
the
place
where
it
landed.In
the
end，it
failed
to
work.
However，as
comet
67P/C?G
moved
closer
to
the
sun，more
sunlight
reached
the
space
vehicle，allowing
it
to
power
up
and
come
back
online.Philae
then
sent
something
to
Rosetta，which
passed
on
the
information
back
to
Earth.
“We
only
received
the
information
for
about
85
seconds，but
that’s
enough
to
let
us
know
it
is
alive
and
well，”
says
Stephan
Ulamec，who
works
for
the
European
Space
Agency.“We
hope
to
work
out
where
it
landed
exactly
on
the
4?kilometer?wide
comet.Now
we
plan
to
change
how
Rosetta
moves
so
that
Philae
can
keep
on
communicating
and
receiving
instructions.”
8．Hearing
Philae’s
voice，those
people
must
have
felt________.
A．afraid
B．calm
C．excited
D．worried
9．According
to
the
text，Philae________.
A．was
damaged
when
it
landed
B．moved
around
comet
67P/C?G
C．needs
light
and
gas
to
keep
working
D．helps
scientists
learn
about
a
comet
10．What
Stephan
says
in
the
text
suggests
that________.
A．Rosetta
will
move
around
another
comet
B．Philae
will
continue
to
work
for
scientists
C．most
comets
are
as
wide
as
four
kilometers
D．he
wonders
whether
Philae
is
still
alive
11．What
does
the
author
mainly
talk
about
in
the
text?
A．A
sleeping
space
vehicle
wakes
up.
B．It
is
very
dangerous
to
travel
in
space.
C．A
new
comet
was
discovered
recently.
D．Philae
was
sent
into
space
successfully.

Gupta
Yash
Gupta
has
worn
glasses
for
many
years.When
they
broke
one
day
and
he
was
not
able
to
wear
them
to
school，he
had
a
big
problem.__1__At
the
end
of
the
day，he
realized
that
he
had
learned
nothing
that
day!
Yash
quickly
got
his
glasses
fixed，but
his
experience
changed
his
life.He
realized
that
there
were
probably
many
kids
around
the
world
that
did
not
have
proper
glasses
to
help
them
learn
in
school.__2__He
found
out
that
13
million
children
around
the
world
don’t
have
proper
glasses
to
help
them
see
in
class.Instead
of
just
shaking
his
head
at
this
problem，he
decided
to
do
something
about
it.__3__Its
goal
is
to
help
find
glasses
for
other
kids
and
teens
that
need
them.
He
created
Sight
Learning
in
2011
and
since
then
he
has
changed
the
lives
of
thousands
of
young
students
around
the
world！The
organization
has
tried
to
provide
eyeglasses
to
students
who
need
them
but
cannot
afford
them.It
has
collected
and
given
away
over
$1,000,000
worth
of
eyeglasses.__4__
As
Dr.Seuss，a
famous
writer，once
said，“Unless
someone
like
you
cares
a
whole
awful
lot，nothing
is
going
to
get
better.It’s
not.”__5__He
has
taken
action
to
not
only
improve
his
own
life，but
those
of
others.
A．Yash
is
such
a
teenager.
B．So，he
did
some
research.
C．Yash
started
a
small
organization，Sight
Learning.
D．Here
is
an
easy
way
to
help
Yash
and
Sight
Learning.
E．He
could
not
see
much
of
what
was
going
on
in
his
classroom.
F．He
learned
that
not
having
glasses
can
cause
a
20%
loss
in
learning!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It’s
not
easy
to
die
when
you
are
only
fifteen.
Those
were
the
words
that
began
the
story
I
heard
from
Robert
White，a
North
Carolina
factory
worker.He
and
his
wife
were
visiting
their
daughter
Lee
in
the
hospital
as
they
did
every
evening.
This
evening，Lee
suddenly
said，“I
always
dreamed
of
swimming
with
dolphins
(海豚)，free
and
happy
in
the
open
sea.I
still
dream
of
it.”
It
seemed
like
an
absurd
dream
because
she
was
so
ill
that
she
couldn’t
walk
without
help.
Robert
and
his
family
talked
it
over
and
decided
to
do
everything
they
could.They
had
heard
of
a
research
center
at
Grass
Key，and
they
phoned
them.
“Come
at
once，”
they
said.
When
they
arrived
there，Robert
took
Lee
to
the
dolphins，Nat
and
Tursi.At
first，they
seemed
uninterested，but
when
Lee
called
them
softly
by
name，they
came
over.They
kissed
her
on
her
nose
and
carried
her
out
to
sea
with
them.
“It
feels
like
I’m
flying！”
cried
Lee，laughing
with
joy.
Lee’s
family
hadn’t
heard
her
laugh
like
that
since
before
she
became
ill.In
that
hour
with
the
dolphins，Lee
was
strong
and
happy
like
she
used
to
be.
The
next
day
Lee
was
too
weak
to
get
out
of
bed.She
told
Robert，“Daddy，don’t
be
sad
for
me.I’ll
never
be
afraid
again.The
dolphins
have
made
me
understand
that
I
have
nothing
to
fear.”
Just
before
night
fell，Robert’s
little
girl
died
in
his
arms.The
next
day
they
went
out
to
scatter
(撒)
her
ashes
(骨灰)
in
the
ocean
among
the
dolphins
as
she
wanted.And
then，suddenly，through
their
tears，they
saw
Nat
and
Tursi
jumping
out
of
the
water.
As
Robert
said，“They
had
come
to
take
our
daughter
home.”
语篇解读
本文是记叙文。15岁的花季少女在去世前实现了自己与海豚共舞的梦想。
1.
The
underlined
word
“absurd”
in
the
text
probably
means________.
A．real
B．strange
C．impossible
D．pleasant
解析： 词义猜测题。根据该词后面的she
was
so
ill
that
she
couldn’t
walk
without
help可知，由于Lee已经无法独立行走，她想和海豚在大海里畅游的梦想是荒谬的，不可能实现的。
答案： C

at
Grass
Key，Lee________.
A．had
a
good
time
there
B．was
uninterested
in
Nat
and
Tursi
C．became
healthy
again
D．died
in
the
open
sea
unexpectedly
解析： 细节理解题。根据文中的“It
feels
like
I’m
flying！”

Key玩得非常开心。

love
for
dolphins
C．understood

very
well
D．used
to
have
a
hard
and
unhappy
life
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，Lee从小就希望能和海豚一起自由自在、开开心心地在大海里游来游去；再根据倒数第二段中的scatter
her
ashes
in
the
ocean
among
the
dolphins
as
she
wanted可知，Lee希望家人能将她的骨灰撒向大海，与海豚为伴。由此可推测，Lee喜欢海豚。
答案： B

best
title
for
the
text?

答案： A
C
“Hello，Earth！Can
you
hear
me？”
That’s
the
voice
more
than
400,000
people
received
recently.It
was
from
Philae，a
space
vehicle
that
landed
on
a
cormet
in
2014.However，its
transmissions
(传送信号)
back
home
went
silent
since
then.
It
took
a
long
time
for
Philae
to
make
its
way
across
the
solar
system
and
reach
comet
67P/C?G.The
space
vehicle
got
there
aboard
the
Rosetta
probe
(探测器)，which
has
been
circling
around
the
comet
since
Philae
separated
from
it
in
November,2014.
Philae’s
job
was
to
collect
materials
to
study
the
comet’s
composition.And
for
about
two
and
a
half
days
after
landing，it
did
just
that，sending
the
information
back
to
scientists
on
Earth.But
Philae’s
landing
on
the
comet’s
icy
surface
had
not
been
smooth.While
touching
down，it
jumped
up
and
ended
up
in
the
shadow
of
something
like
a
huge
rock.Philae
runs
on
solar
power，but
there
was
no
light
in
the
place
where
it
landed.In
the
end，it
failed
to
work.
However，as
comet
67P/C?G
moved
closer
to
the
sun，more
sunlight
reached
the
space
vehicle，allowing
it
to
power
up
and
come
back
online.Philae
then
sent
something
to
Rosetta，which
passed
on
the
information
back
to
Earth.
“We
only
received
the
information
for
about
85
seconds，but
that’s
enough
to
let
us
know
it
is
alive
and
well，”
says
Stephan
Ulamec，who
works
for
the
European
Space
Agency.“We
hope
to
work
out
where
it
landed
exactly
on
the
4?kilometer?wide
comet.Now
we
plan
to
change
how
Rosetta
moves
so
that
Philae
can
keep
on
communicating
and
receiving
instructions.”
语篇解读 本文是说明文。彗星着陆器Philae在失联后又获“重生”。
8．Hearing
Philae’s
voice，those
people
must
have
felt________.
A．afraid
B．calm
C．excited
D．worried
解析： 推理判断题。由第一段中的Philae...landed
on
a
comet
in
2014.However，its
transmissions
back
home
went
silent
since
then可知，Philae于2014年着陆彗星后就失联了，所以当人们再次听到它传来的声音时一定很兴奋，故选C项。
答案： C
9．According
to
the
text，Philae________.
A．was
damaged
when
it
landed
B．moved
around
comet
67P/C?G
C．needs
light
and
gas
to
keep
working
D．helps
scientists
learn
about
a
comet
解析： 细节理解题。由第三段中的Philae’s
job
was
to
collect
materials
to
study
the
comet’s
composition可知，Philae的任务是帮助科学家了解一颗彗星的相关情况，故选D项。
答案： D
10．What
Stephan
says
in
the
text
suggests
that________.
A．Rosetta
will
move
around
another
comet
B．Philae
will
continue
to
work
for
scientists
C．most
comets
are
as
wide
as
four
kilometers
D．he
wonders
whether
Philae
is
still
alive
解析： 细节理解题。由最后一段中的Now
we
plan
to
change
how
Rosetta
moves
so
that
Philae
can
keep
on
communicating
and
receiving
instructions可知，Philae将会继续服役，故选B项。
答案： B
11．What
does
the
author
mainly
talk
about
in
the
text?
A．A
sleeping
space
vehicle
wakes
up.
B．It
is
very
dangerous
to
travel
in
space.
C．A
new
comet
was
discovered
recently.
D．Philae
was
sent
into
space
successfully.
解析： 主旨大意题。总览全文可知，文章主要介绍了彗星着陆器Philae的一些情况。它在沉睡了好久之后醒了过来，并向地球发回了信息。
答案： A
Ⅱ.七选五
Yash
Gupta
Yash
Gupta
has
worn
glasses
for
many
years.When
they
broke
one
day
and
he
was
not
able
to
wear
them
to
school，he
had
a
big
problem.__1__At
the
end
of
the
day，he
realized
that
he
had
learned
nothing
that
day!
Yash
quickly
got
his
glasses
fixed，but
his
experience
changed
his
life.He
realized
that
there
were
probably
many
kids
around
the
world
that
did
not
have
proper
glasses
to
help
them
learn
in
school.__2__He
found
out
that
13
million
children
around
the
world
don’t
have
proper
glasses
to
help
them
see
in
class.Instead
of
just
shaking
his
head
at
this
problem，he
decided
to
do
something
about
it.__3__Its
goal
is
to
help
find
glasses
for
other
kids
and
teens
that
need
them.
He
created
Sight
Learning
in
2011
and
since
then
he
has
changed
the
lives
of
thousands
of
young
students
around
the
world！The
organization
has
tried
to
provide
eyeglasses
to
students
who
need
them
but
cannot
afford
them.It
has
collected
and
given
away
over
$1,000,000
worth
of
eyeglasses.__4__
As
Dr.Seuss，a
famous
writer，once
said，“Unless
someone
like
you
cares
a
whole
awful
lot，nothing
is
going
to
get
better.It’s
not.”__5__He
has
taken
action
to
not
only
improve
his
own
life，but
those
of
others.
A．Yash
is
such
a
teenager.
B．So，he
did
some
research.
C．Yash
started
a
small
organization，Sight
Learning.
D．Here
is
an
easy
way
to
help
Yash
and
Sight
Learning.
E．He
could
not
see
much
of
what
was
going
on
in
his
classroom.
F．He
learned
that
not
having
glasses
can
cause
a
20%
loss
in
learning!
G．This
has
helped
over
20,000
young
people
in
5
countries
to
see
better!
