The dream of flying into outer space, cherished by the Chinese people for centuries, will soon come true.

  China launched its fourth unmanned spacecraft (飛船)“Shenzhou Ⅳ” on December 30 at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu Province. It was the 27th consecutive(連續(xù)的 )and successful launch of China - made rockets since October 1996. This launch has made it more realistic for China to send a person into space on its own following Russia and the USA.

  Qi Faren,leading designer of the spacecraft system, said all the functions (功能) designed for manned flights have withstood (經(jīng)受。﹖he test of three previous, successful launches and return landings of the “Shenzhou” spaceships.

  China launched the “Shenzhou Ⅰ ”, “Shenzhou Ⅱ ”and “Shenzhou Ⅲ ”spacecrafts in 1999,2001 and 2002 respectively.

  “Shouzhou Ⅳ” was to make it a more comfortable place in which astronauts can live and work. All parts of the application system for manned flight are aboard the “Shenzhou Ⅳ”craft in all test flights.

  China’s manned flight programme began in 1992. A number of unmanned test flights will be launched before Chinese astronauts are sent into space.

  Leading scientists in charge of China’s manned space programme said the successful launch of the “Shenzhou Ⅳ” laid a solid foundation for the country’s future task of sending Chinese astronauts to outer space.

  The spacecraft returned to the earth on January 5, after completing seven experiments in space.

  Officials at the centre said that“ Shenzhou Ⅴ”, a manned spacecraft, is expected to be launched later this year.

 How many countries can send a person into space on its own by now?

  A. 2.              B. 3.

  C. 4.              D. Not mentioned.

 China’s manned flight programme began in ________.

  A. 1992             B. October 1996.

  C. 1999             D. January 2003

  B. “Shenzhou Ⅳ” was a manned spacecraft

  C. “Shenzhou Ⅲ ”and“ Shenzhou Ⅳ” were not launched in the same year

閱讀理解,閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

  The dream of getting into an American university is coming true for more and more Chinese students.Last year almost forty thousand Chinese students were accepted into undergraduate programs in America.That was a fifty percent increase over the year before and four times the number of undergraduate students just five years ago.

  More Chinese students want to go to American universities and more American universities want them to come.For Chinese students it's a chance to get a good education and for American universities it's a chance to, well, make a lot of money.American universities received $26 billion in tuition fees from International students last year.It's an important part of their revenue.The tuition fees for foreign students are far higher than for domestic students.For example, the State University of New York(SUNY)charges local students less than $5, 000 a year and foreign students more than $13, 000 a year.

  Places like SUNY are easy to get into.They don't look too closely at your academic record and they accept lower TOEFL and SAT*scores.But once you’re in, it gets difficult.You have to take a lot of courses, attend lectures, participate in seminars, write essays and give presentations-all in English! The professors don't change their teaching styles and will not lower their standards to accommodate foreign students.

  Many Chinese students struggle to keep up with the workload.Some drop out and about five percent fail and have to come back home.It's not surprising because getting a degree from an American university is difficult even for American students.Only slightly more than fifty percent of American students graduate in four years from the university they enrolled in.Some will take five or six years to get the credits they need to graduate.Chinese students work much harder than their American counterparts but language is a big stumbling block for them.If you want to succeed at an American university, your English must be very, very good.At American universities, getting in is easy; getting out is hard.

(1)

About ________ Chinese students were accepted into undergraduate programs in America five years ago.

[  ]

A.

27, 000

8, 000

B.

C.

Professors in American universities will change their teaching style to make it easier for foreign students.

D.

Though Chinese students work much harder, language is an obstacle anyway.

(3)

[  ]

A.

The first sentence in Para.1.

B.

The first sentence in Para.2.

C.
