GettingawayfromEarthhasotheradvantages,too.Modernindustryusesmanykindsofmetalalloys(mixturesofmetalthatarebetterforcertainpurposesthanpuremetals).Yetsomemetalalloyseithercan’tbemadeorareveryexpensivetomakeonEarthbecauseofgravity.Forinstance,certainmetalsdon’tmixwellonEarth.Butinzerogravity,molten(hot,liquid)metalsmixmoreevenly.Thisisbecausethereisnogravitytopulltheheaviermetalsdown,whilethelighteronesfloatontop.

【全文翻译】
我们都是太空游客。但是直到如今,我们仍然离家很近。总有一天,我们会离开我们的“母亲船”——地球——在一些星球上安家落户。
空间的年龄计算
【答案解析】
1.【解析】[C]属细节推断题。根据题干的意思,本文中提到的巨大的球形宇宙飞船是指什么?根据本文第一个小标题下的第二段首句“Agiant,spherical“spaceship”,about8,000miles...”和第三段的首句“It’snotagiant,StarWarsmothership.It’sspaceshipEarth...”,其中的“it”指代的就是“agiant,spherical‘spaceship’”,由此可以知道C项是正确答案。其他选项虽然在文中均有提及,但都不是该题的正确答案。
2.【解析】[B]属细节推断题。题干中的past25years是关键词,直接定位到第一个小标题下第三段的后一句话“Onlywithinthepast25years,...itspassengersbrokenfreeofEarth’sgravity”。通过比较可知,该题干是对原句的改写,答案应该是B,可以直接选择。其他选项原文中都有提及,但是与该题均无关,不是正确答案。
3.【解析】[C]属同义转换题,注意本是一种排除性选择题。分析题干,本题考查人类还没有征服或者探索过的空间;或者,根据题支中的四个备选项,可以将该题的答案定位在小标题“SpaceCities”下的第三段的后一句话,“WehaveexploredpartoftheMoon,sentrobotspaceshipsontothesurfaceofVenusandMars,andaimedspaceprobespasttheplanetsofJupiterandSaturn”,可知C是正确答案。其他选项文中均有提及,都是人类已经征服或者探索过的空间,不是正确答案。
7.【解析】[C]属同义转换题。题干中的“risks”是关键词,可以将答案定位在“AtHomeinSpace”这一小节下的第二段的前两句话,“Yet,theseriskswon’tkeeppeoplefromgoingintospace.Eventually,anEarthlikeenvironmentwillbebuiltinspace”。题干是对这两句话的综合和同义互换,由此可知选项C是正确答案。其他选项原文均未提及。
8.【解析】donotmixwell根据WhyGointoSpace中的第二段的第三、四句话,可以得到我们所需要的答案。
9.【解析】electricityformanufacturing根据WhyGointoSpace的第一段得出该题目答案。
10.【解析】thelosingofcalcium根据AtHomeinSpace第一段第四句话找出题目所需要的答案。也可以写为thelossofcalcium。PartIIIListeningComprehension
11.W:It’shightimeweincreasedoursuppliesoffootballequipment.Volleyballandtennisarebothoutoffashion.
M:Icouldn’tagreemore.
Q:Whichshouldtheyincrease
【解析】[C]女士说是时候该增加足球设备的供应了,排球和网球都过时了。男士说我再
同意不过了。本题关键是听懂It’shightime和outoffashion这两个固定短语。
12.W:John,doyouwanttogoswimmingwithmetoday
M:Sure,butIcan’tleavenow.Ihaveanappointmentwithmyprofessorat3o’
clock.
Q:Whycan’tJohngoswimmingnow
【解析】[A]男士说他三点与他的老师有个会面。Ihaveanappointmentwithmyprofessor
at3o’clock.从这句可以得出答案。
13.M:Isthisschoolreallyasgoodaspeoplesay
W:Itusedtobeevenbetter.
Q:How’stheschool
【解析】[A]男士问这座学校真的像人们说的那样好么。女士回答说它过去更好些。因此,
即是说这座学校不如过去好了,从这得出对这座学校的评价。
14.W:Didyouwatchthegameyesterday
M:Iwantedto,butMariewaswatchingamovieonChannel5,soIwatcheditwith
her.YouknowMarie,shecan’tstandfootball.
Q:Whydidn’tthemanwatchthegame
【解析】[D]本题关键在于听出玛丽亚受不了足球这句YouknowMaria,shecan’tstand
football.因此,男士虽然本想看球赛的,但是玛丽亚在看五频道的一个电影,他就跟她一
起看了那个电影。

毫无疑问,地球正变得越来越热。但是,真正的问题是:气候变暖的程度是我们的错,我们愿意通过控制我们对矿石燃料无止境的欲望来减缓地球变暖吗?全球气候变暖似乎离我们太遥远,以至于我们无需为此担心;或者太难以确定,我们无法用计算机技术来测定,同样的计算机技术往往难以正确地预报下周的天气情况。在一个阴冷的冬日,你可能会觉得,变暖几度无论如何也不是件糟糕的事情。毫无疑问,气候变化的警告听上去就像一个环保主义者的恐吓策略,迫使我们远离汽车,限制我们的生活方式。这些也许是安慰的想法。然而,不幸的是,地球给我们带来一些不安的消息。从阿拉斯加到安第斯山的雪峰,全球都在快速升温。上个世纪,全球温度上升了1华氏度,但是有些冷、偏远的地方却远不止如此。这些结果非常不妙。冰层正在融化,河流正在干枯,海岸正在受侵蚀,我们的社区正在受到威胁。很大程度上,这些正在发生的变化处于我们的视野之外。但是,他们不应该被忽视,因为他们预示着地球的其他地方将会发生什么样的情况。
47.【解析】[E]此处应填入E项,bewillingto为固定搭配。
48.【解析】[H]此处应填入一个名词,而appetite通常和介词for搭配,此处句子的意思
为控制我们无止境的欲望。
49.【解析】[A]此处应填入一个形容词,根据上下文意思应选A项,意即:全球气候变暖似
乎离我们太遥远,以至于我们无需为此担心。
50.【解析】[B]此处应填入一个名词,而与computer搭配的名词在选项中根据上下文意
思B为正确选项。
51.【解析】[F]根据上下文意思此处应表达气候变化之意,因此F为正确选项。
52.【解析】[L]该题较为简单,表示“上个世纪全球的气温上升了1华氏度”,应能迅速找
出正确答案。
53.【解析】[I]显然ice与melt搭配,因此I为正确选项。
54.【解析】[K]此处应填入一个现在分词,表示“海岸受到侵蚀”,因此应选K项。
55.【解析】[N]该题较为简单,应填入一个复数名词,所以填入N项。
56.【解析】[D]选D项,therestof为固定搭配。
定义成功有许多不同的方法。准确地说,我们每个人都有自己的成功理念。在某种程度上,我们每个人都有责任设定自己的目标,确定我们是否能满意地实现这些目标。在遗传能力以及适合这些遗传能力表达的环境方面,我们每个人都具有独特的差异性,所以毫无疑问地我们必须从广泛的意义上来界定成功。
对于一些人来说,只要没有太大的苦难,能够活着,就是一种成功。牧羊人虽然贫穷,却心态平静。他在美丽的大自然中牧羊,与家人一起过着俭朴的生活。他之所以受人尊敬,是因为他有一份不错的工作,并为实现自己和社会所期望的目标而努力奋斗。另一方面,尽管有些人拥有大量的物质财富,但其中的许多人看起来很痛苦。他们认为自己没有成功,因为他们没有实现自己的成功目标。并不是所有的事业都能获得成功,所以一个人不应该为了获得
成功而设立不切实际的目标;但是,对于一个有自信的人来说,如果设定的成功目标过低,也是一件极其不幸的事情。一位成功的职业咨询师曾经对一名正在经历挫折的年轻人说过:“即使为了获得成功的旅行,你也没有必要把月球旅行设定为你的旅行目标。有时候,仅仅是在公园里散步,或者乘坐地铁去市区,也可以让一个人获得成功。”他说,“只有你在为自己真正喜欢的东西付出全心的努力后却仍未能获得成功,你才是真的失败了,才是真的失去了成功的机会。”
58.【解析】[C]词汇题。“frugal”这个词的意思是节俭的,朴素的。见第二段第二句,“...thepoorshepherdwho...enjoyshisfrugallife...”通过下文提到的拥有财富的人的对
比,可以推测出该词的意思是节俭朴素的。
从一开始就教孩子阅读是小学重要的任务,但是依靠教育者正确地处理这个任务会犯重大错误。许多学校仍继续使用被证明是无效的教学方法。教授如何开始阅读的“看与说”或者“全词”教学法具有强制力,这也许是有效指导阅读失败的好例子。全词阅读方法强调单词的含义超过强调字母的含义,考虑把拼写和读音的关系用于阅读,发展认识熟悉单词的能力超过发展认识不熟悉单词读音的能力。它适合于教室“开放”的倡导者们所推荐的自我指导的、“学习如何学习”的活动,也符合孩子们必须发展地准备开始阅读的理念。1963年以前的出版物都是教授使用全词阅读方法的。然而,在1955年,RudolfFlesch点燃了开始阅读中的“伟大辩论”。在他的畅销书《为什
么约翰尼不能阅读》中,Flesch控诉公立学校使用“看与说”的方法对学生进行错误的教育。他说,另外一种建立在语音学基础上的开始阅读的方法要好得多。后来,JeaneChall和
RovertDykstra证明了它是一种更学术性的学习方法。首先,系统语音教孩子们把字母和字母组合与读音联系在一起。然后,教他们如何把这些读音组合起来说话。它传授给孩子们一种规则,通过这种规则可以学会英语中绝大多数常见单词的发音,而不是把记忆中相对有限的单词堆积在一起。语音学并不是贬低思考单词和句子意义的重要性,它只是承认把拼写和读音的关系用于阅读是合乎逻辑的、必要的第一步。
62.【解析】[C]细节题。本题的线索是第一段的第二句话,其中的relyingoneducators与题干中的countingoneducators是相同的意思。
63.【解析】[A]细节题。作者先在第一段的后一句说“looksay”或“wholeword”的阅读教学方法是失败的,第二段分析了这种方法失败的原因,是因为它“stressesthemeaningofwordsoverthemeaningofletters,thinkingoverdecoding...”。
使学习者获得更大的词汇量。
65.【解析】[B]词义题。本题要求利用上下文猜测单词的意思。根据第二段的后一句,在1963年以前,出版的东西都是教授使用wholeword的方法的,紧接着用了转折词however,说在1955年,RudolfFlesch“touchedoff”一场争论,因此此处的touchoff必然是“引起”的意思。
学习的方法大不相同,对一些学生有效的方法对其他人不一定起作用。你能做的就是要进行实验,直到找到一个适合自己的学习方法。但是有两件事是肯定的:没有人能替你学习,而且如果你找不到适合自己的学习方法,你就不会通过大学考试。同时,还有一些对每个人都起作用的规则,例如“不要落后”。学习的问题是,一开始的时候是非常难的,而当你尝试在一周内完成三周的事情时则变得几乎不可能。即使是好的读者也难以完成。如果你没
67.【解析】[D]well是副词,good是形容词,所以A不可。此处要与后面的doesn’twork
atall形成对比,而B、C没有对比的作用。
68.【解析】[A]此句的意思是你一直进行尝试,直到找到适合自己的学习方法。因而此处的连词要表达“直到”的意思。
70.【解析】[D]work常用于抽象的意义,表示起作用的意思。请参照第一句中的动词。
71.【解析】[A]get(fall,be)behind等都表示落后的意思,根据上下文,显然是说,我们在学习上不要落后。
72.【解析】[C]此处要求填一个形容词,A可排除。又根据上下文,可以理解出这句话的意思应该是:学习的问题是,一开始的时候是非常难的,而当你想在一周内完成三周的事情
时则变得几乎是不可能的。这时谈的是难度的问题,因此选其他的答案是不合适的。如果直接解此题有困难,可以先做后面的题。
73.【解析】[C]根据从句中的意思来判断本题的答案。要在一周内做三周的事,毫无疑问,应当说这是几乎不可能的。
74.【解析】[C]表面考的是所有格的用法,实际上考的是名词的数。三周肯定是复数,week必须是复数形式;work是不可数名词。答案就一目了然了。
75.【解析】[A]本题考查的是篇章词汇。解题也有两种方法。第一种方法从篇章的角度着手,承接上面一段,说的是学习的困难,在这里显然是说“即使”是读得快的人也有困难,选A顺理成章。第二种方法从句法着手。这一一个简单句,显然不能填连词和介词,C、明显错误。单就本句来说,选almost也是不能的。
76.【解析】[B]havetrouble后要求接动名词。
77.【解析】[A]turnin的意思是“交上去,上交”,其他的选项是:turnup出现;turnout出来,结果是;givein让步。
78.【解析】[D]此处表示“过晚”之意,用too。
79.【解析】[C]考查常用句型not...atall。
81.【解析】[A]表示笼统的“有用”的动词是help。
83.【解析】[A]注意后面的介词to,所以这是一个固定搭配。
84.【解析】[B]考查句型“Whatisthereasonthat...”。
85.【解析】[C]前面所说的明显是一种诱惑,所以要选temptation。
86.【解析】[D]前面说的是上某课的事,所以选class。
