1.Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions(使命)often work very long days.Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work.This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS).ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year.They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible.Weekends give the crew valuable.Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework.They can communicate with family and friends by email,internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit,there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy.Before a mission.The family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos,messages,videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370kilometers above the Earth.During their mission,the crew also receives care packages with CDs,books,magazines,photos and letters.And as from early 2010,the internet became available on the ISS,giving astronauts the chance to do some"web surfing(沖浪)"in their personal time.Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments,astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.

29.What does the word"mimic"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?B

A.work for longer missions in space
B.connect with people on the Earth
C.observe the Earth from space
D.spend their free time in space.

分析 本文是記敘文.向我們介紹了宇航員在太空中是如何打發(fā)他們的自由利用的時(shí)間的.宇航員的生活往往是與眾不同的,但是在國際空間站的工作人員的生活可以跟在地球上的生活很相似.他們可以與家人或者朋友聯(lián)系,也可以做一些日常的活動(dòng).

解答 29.B.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)第一段第四句"They work five days on and two days off"可知,這和在地球上的工作時(shí)間一致,所以這樣做的目的是盡可能地模仿地球上的正常生活,故選B.
30.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段第二句"Before a mission,the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photo,messages,videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating…可知,宇航員的家人是體貼的,考慮周到的.故選A.
31.D.主旨大意題.本文主要向我們介紹了宇航員在休息時(shí)做的事,全文講述了國際空間站的宇航員是如何度過工作之余的閑暇時(shí)間的.B,C有一定的干擾性.文章提到過宇航員與地面上的家人和朋友的聯(lián)系,也提到了他們透過窗子看地球上的景觀,但是這些都是細(xì)節(jié),而不是主題.故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).

13.I've learned that you have to make the choice if you want to get anywhere.If you just let other people decide what is going to happen for you,then all your goals and dreams may never be achieved.
Everyone always says that studying abroad in college can change your life.I made the decision to experience it for myself during my junior year.I chose to study in the Dominican Republic.As it got closer to the deadline,an advisor told me I had received a scholarship from an alumni (校友) family foundation.
During my first semester in the country I fell in love.I was becoming bilingual (雙語的) but also learning so much about a new culture.I had begun working with a local grassroots organization,taking part in a project supporting an underdeveloped community just outside the city.My main role was to become aware of the issues facing populations such as these and support community education.I was in no way ready to leave this new life.I felt as if I needed more time to get what I wanted.
As the next semester began,I realized again that I needed to take a chance.I got involved with a local boarding school for girls living in poverty.I first approached the head of the school to volunteer to teach music classes,asking for money from my college church.I could have never predicted the results of this small action.Another volunteer and I were able to put together a benefit (義演) to show off what the students had learned.We invited community members,friends and other students from local universities to support the girls.We also sold art that the students themselves had created to increase the funding (資助) of the arts program.I felt good when I left,knowing that I had laid the foundation for a good cause and bettered the lives of young girls.
There will always be people that think they know what is best for you,but you ultimately know what you want in life.My time in the Dominican Republic changed my life by giving me the realization of how fortunate I am and the fact that there is always a chance to give back.You have to go after anything and everything you desire or there may be a missed opportunity.My trip to Santo Domingo taught me to take advantage of new possibilities.

67.The article mainly tells usB.
A.how the author helped poor girls in a local boarding school
B.that studying abroad gave the author life-changing opportunities
C.that the author chose to study abroad to follow other people's examples
D.how the author learned about the issues facing people in the Dominican Republic

A.started a project in a developed community
B.couldn't fit in well with the school or life there
C.was unsure if she should stay for another semester
D.became absorbed in a new culture and a new language

C.the author worked as a music teacher in her college
D.the results of the voluntary work were beyond the author's expectations

A.think other people know what is best for us
B.is grateful for her experience in Santo Domingo

"I can't,Charley.But you'll learn to be happy as a prince."She waved her wand,and suddenly a castle appeared.Out of the castle dozens of musicians were playing various instruments."Charley!You'll have servants,eat delicious foods,and you can sing and dance and snap fingers(彈響指)."
"No!"Charley interrupted.(打斷)"I don't want all these!I want bugs!"Charley cried."I don't want to sing and dance!And why would I do something as silly as snapping my fingers?"
"Snapping fingers!"cried out Wanda."That's what I forgot!"She snapped her fingers,cried"Upsi-doodle!"and the castle and musicians disappeared and the prince became a little green frog."
Charley looked at himself in the water."You did it,Wanda.Oh,happy day!I'm a frog."

6.In the United States,when one becomes rich,he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich,he wants people to think that he is.That is what"Keeping up with the Joneses"is about.It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.He told this story about himself.He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City.When he saw that rich people rode horses,Momand went horseback riding every day.When he saw that rich people had servants,Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race,but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They moved back to an apartment (公寓房間) in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories.He called it‘‘Keeping up with the Joneses",because"Jones"is a very common name in the United States."Keeping up with the Joneses"came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you.Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.And there are"Joneses"in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does,Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.
