【解析】

【文章大意】文章介紹了“海盜一號(hào)”無(wú)人宇宙飛船在火星登陸的情況。

1.選A。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段可知“海盜一號(hào)”宇宙飛船由orbiter和lander兩部分組成, 到了火星上空兩部分分離。

2.2】選C。根據(jù)常識(shí)判斷宇宙飛船應(yīng)該在飛行時(shí)是很快的, 在遇到阻力時(shí)才會(huì)減速, 這也與后面飛行減緩后的“slowly”相對(duì)應(yīng)。

3.3】選D。thin可以修飾air和atmosphere, 但是只有atmosphere符合語(yǔ)境, 火星的大氣減慢它的飛行, 而且與后文也一致。

4.4】選A。rocket的作用就是通過(guò)發(fā)射把lander送到火星上, 著陸時(shí)需要對(duì)地面的反推力才不至于著陸太猛。

5.5】選B。因?yàn)榍懊嫠龅母鞣N措施, 如降落傘、火箭發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)等, 所以是輕輕著陸。

6.6】選A!昂1I一號(hào)”是無(wú)人載飛船, 所以只能通過(guò)電腦發(fā)送信息說(shuō)其在工作。

7.7】選B。根據(jù)上下文, message以光速“傳播”, spread“擴(kuò)散”; shoot“發(fā)射”; move“移動(dòng)”。

8.8】選D。表示距離時(shí), 如果有具體的數(shù)字, 后面應(yīng)是away。

9.9】選C;鹦堑顷懗晒, 人們歡呼起來(lái), shout“大喊”; watch“看”; welcome“歡迎”。

10.0】選C。在屏幕上show“顯示”發(fā)送回來(lái)的圖片, 其他三項(xiàng)意思不符。

11.1】選A;鹦巧系耐寥朗羌t色的, 所以后面第二句提到紅色的火星表面。

12.2】選B。這些照片是在火星上拍攝的, 所以是close look“近看”, real不修飾look。

13.3】選B。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知, 火星上沒(méi)有生命的跡象, 更沒(méi)有樹(shù)和人。

14.4】選A。宇宙飛船有兩部分, 由下一句話可得知答案。

15.5】選D。circle around Mars環(huán)繞火星飛行。

16.6】選B。examine指“檢驗(yàn)”。enter“進(jìn)入”, collect“收集”, discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)”都不合適。

17.7】選B。由上文可知, 宇宙飛船分兩部分, 前面介紹了orbiter, 這里介紹lander。

18.8】選D。在火星上, “海盜一號(hào)”只能通過(guò)一些科學(xué)儀器對(duì)火星上的土壤和巖石進(jìn)行檢驗(yàn)。

19.9】選C。由前文中“full of rocks”可知答案。

20.20】選D。著陸器把在火星上得到的信息傳給軌道飛行器, 然后傳到地球上來(lái)。

Last Tuesday, the Students' Union in our school advised that Senior Three students shall do something specially for their parents on their 18th birthdays. All the students are active in responding it and most of them have come up with their ideas. Some choose to write a letter saying it's best way to express their appreciations as well as love for their parents. Others will prefer to cook a big meal to show that they've already grown up.

As for me, I want to do up hair and wash feet for my parents. By doing which my parents have been doing for me I can really know how much they've devoted to bring me up. Being 18 years old mean that we should learn to be independent and that we should be responsible for us.

Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that. ”Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.

“This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待), ”Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills said.

People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog. ”

Has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s, designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button(按鈕). And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just£127, 000.

The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 17. 5 feet, can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(模式).

Fuelling(加燃料)the 19 feet long plane couldn’t be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

A spokeswoman said, “You can keep your ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport, fly up to 460 miles, land and drive directly to your destination(目的地). You will always be ready to drive or fly. ”

The spokeswoman added, “Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert(使轉(zhuǎn)向)and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”

There’s no risk to you—this is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold(展開(kāi))your wings and fly into the future.

A. can fly in the sky at “highway speeds” in car mode

2.We can infer that in the “Back to the Future” movies   .

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to?

B. Your garage.

C. The local airport.

D. A petrol station.

A. call for people to buy the “roadable” plane

B. show people the use of the “roadable” plane
