事实细节题。由第一段中的“Thereasonforthedifferenceisanatmosphericphenomenonknownasthejet(喷射)stream”可知选A。B项中goslower应为gofaster；C项中Ittakesmoretime应改为Ittakeslesstime;D项中fromtheeasttothewest应改为fromthewesttotheeast。2．Theunderlinedword“shoot”inthe2ndpassageprobablymeans“________”．A.sendforB.movequicklyC.comeoutD.growquickly答案：B 猜测词义题。切断地心引力就像撒开细绳一样，没有附着在地表的物体就会沿直线飞出去。室内的人以很快的速度迅速向上运动直到撞着天花板。根据句子的语境，shoot与flyoff意义相近。movequickly“迅速运动”；sendfor“派人去叫，派人去请”；comeout“出来，开放，出版”；growquickly“迅速增加”，故选B。3．Itcanbeinferredthatwithoutgravity________.A．buildingsandotherstructureswouldfloatawayB．treesandbuildingswouldnotsoeasilyflyoffC．somethingaroundyourheadwouldnotfloatawayD．everythingoutsidebuildingswouldflyoffintospace答案：B 推理判断题。失去地心引力，外部的大部分东西就会飞入太空，而附着固定在地表的物体如树木、楼房等不会那么容易飞走。可由第二段倒数第一句、倒数第三句得出。4．Wherecanwemostprobablyreadthistext?A.Inaresearchpaper.B.Inashortstory.C.Inatravelmagazine.D.Inastudent'sbook.答案：7\nD 推理判断题。问题以疑问形式引出，解释举例浅显易懂，易于学生接受，符合学生教科书的特点。BThedesiretomakeexplorationsisbornwithman.Whereverhisimaginationgoes,manalsohasastrongwishtogo.Alargepartofhumanhistoryisconnectedwiththeexplorationoftheworldinwhichwelive.Againandagainpeoplehavesetoutwithsurprisingcourageandpatiencetolookintounknownregionsandlandstoseewhathadnotyetbeenseen,tomaketheunknown.Withkites,balloonsandaircrafttheyleftthegroundtopassthroughtheloweratmosphere.Nowtheouterspacereceivestheirattention.Whyshouldmantakethetroubleofconqueringspace?Itishardtolistthespecificpracticalbenefitsthatwillresultin.Butoneknows,frompastexperienceinotherareas,thatmanwillsurelyseeanddiscovernewthingsinspacethatwillincreaseourscientificknowledge,andthisnewknowledgewillfinditswayintovaluablepracticaluses.Whatwelearnaboutmanhimself,fromhisexperienceinspace,andfromtheeffectsofspaceandthespaceflightenvironmentonhim,willbeextremelyvaluable.Thenewtechniquesdevelopedtocarryouttheexplorationofspace,andtokeepmanaliveinspace,willcertainlyfindpracticalusesineverydaylifeinsomeway.Theareasthatwillbenefitaremanifold.Theyincludecommunication,generationofpower,transportationandtravel,food7\nproduction,materials,fuelsandmanyothers.Buttosaydefinitelyjustwhatthepractical_resultswillbeisalmostimpossible.5．Themainideaofthefirstparagraphisthat________.A．manoftengoeswhereverhisdreamsgoB．mandesirestoexplorewhatisunknownC．manisnolongerinterestedinthestudyofthelandandseanowD．man'shistoryishisexplorationoftheworld答案：B 主旨归纳题。由第一段首句和第三句可知此段在说“人类渴望探索未知的世界”。选项A和D是片面的，而选项C在此段没有被提及。故正确答案为B。6．Theunderlinedword“manifold”inthesecondparagraphprobablymeans“________”．A．vast B．valuableC．various D．practical答案：C 词义猜测题。画线词下句中的they是指theareasthatwillbenefit，所以可猜测manifold意为various。7．Theauthorseemstobeinfavorof________.A．theexplorationofspaceB．hisexperienceinspaceC．doubtingthenecessityofthespaceexplorationD．exploringmoreinspacethaninsea答案：A 推断题。从全文来看，作者提出“Alargepartofhumanhistoryisconnectedwiththeexplorationoftheworldinwhichwelive”和空间探索对人类生产生活和知识方面有莫大益处，由此推知作者是支持空间探索的。故正确答案为A。8．InthelastsentenceofParagraph2,theunderlinedphrase“practicalresults”referstotheresults________.A．thatareobtainedfromexperienceB．thatcanbelearnedasknowledgeC．thatcanbemadeuseofD．helpingusmakefurtherexploration答案：C 推断题。由前句可知“空间探索在通信、发电、交通旅行、食物生产、原料、燃料等人们日常生活的各个领域会带来益处，这是实用的、可利用的”。故正确答案为C。7
