题目内容

【题目】July 20, 1969 is a day that will forever go down in the history books as a day that changed the world forever. That was the day when American astronaut and explorer Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.

The moon is located almost 240,000 miles from the Earth. Armstrong and his crew, which included fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, began their journey into space on the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (登月 ) on July 16, 1969. Armstrong was the commander of the mission (任务) and he was the one who piloted the aircraft to the surface of the moon. At almost 11 pm on July 20, 1969, Armstrong exited the craft and set foot on the moon, saying the now famous words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Aldrin later exited the Apollo 11 Lunar Module as he and Armstrong collected samples (样品) from the moon that they could bring back to the Earth with them and study. Also, they took photographs of the moon and its surroundings as well as their footprints on the moon. Michael Collins, the third member of the crew, remained in the command module during this time.

The mission began its return from the moon on July 24, 1969, four days after its historic landing. The Apollo 11 returned, landing just west of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. The three-member crew was kept away from others for three weeks just to be sure they were not carrying any unknown diseases or illnesses. After all, it was the first time the moon had been explored, so nobody really knew what to expect. Following that, they were treated as heroes.

1What do we know about the mission?

A. It ended on July 16, 1969.

B. Michael Collins piloted the craft.

C. Three astronauts were in the craft.

D. Edwin Aldrin was the commander.

2What does the underlined part “giant leap” refer to?

A. The first time man has landed on the moon.

B. Three members’ successful cooperation.

C. Mankind’s first time to know the unknown.

D. The shortening distance between the moon and the Earth.

3What did Michael Collins do as the others were collecting samples?

A. He studied the samples. B. He also collected samples.

C. He took some photographs. D. He stayed in the command module.

4Why were the astronauts kept away from others after their return?

A. Because they had become ill.

B. Because they needed to take a good rest.

C. Because they carried unknown diseases on them.

D. Because they might have brought back hidden dangers.

【题目】A widow with a fish to fry

A YOUNG WOMAN WALKS INTO THE BATHROOM of her Beijing apartment. She plans to ask her husband about their coming vacation, but notices he's facedown in their bathtub. Jokingly, she asks him if he's trying to wash his hair. No answer. He's dead.

These first pages of An Yu's novel, Braised Pork, sound like a domestic thriller. The dead husband . A fancy apartment. And a wife who shows that even if she's shocked by the unexpected death, she wasn't happy with her marriage to begin with. Yu writes, “He had betrayed(背叛)and deserted her."

But then, as she waits for the ambulance, Jia Jia discovers a picture of a strange fish-man left near her bathtub. She remembers her husband describing the creature on a trip to Tibet—it had shown up in a dream. Jia Jia doesn't know it yet, but the drawing will take her miles from home, changing what she knows to be true about herself. It's this experience that changes Braised Pork into an original narrative(叙事)one that doesn't fit into any genre(体裁).

As JiaJia picks up the pieces of her life, she wonders how much of herself she suppressed (压 抑)to please her husband. She was once an artist, but her husband discouraged her from running after her dream. Now she can explore those desires alone, though .

ANOTHER AUTHOR might have chosen to follow a young widow on a journey of finding love after loss. But 28-year-old Yu smartly decides not to. Instead, she uses Jia Jia as a way to explore the anxiety of contemporary womanhood. Jia Jia does want to find love again, which is only a small part of the story. Yu leaves room for her to begin a more material search: uncovering the meaning behind the picture beside her husband's dead body.

There are some images that make us so uncomfortable. It's impossible to look away from them. For JiaJia, it's the fish-man at first, and then more memories of the past, which interrupt her present. In Braised Pork, Yu raises questions about why we keep an eye on those moments-and how they might relate to the company we wish for.

1What's the genre of the novel Braised Pork?

A.Mystery.B.Narrative.

C.Domestic thriller.D.None of the above.

2What kind of person would you say Jia Jia is before her husband's death?

A.lonely and suppressed.B.innocent but unlucky.

C.humorous and independent.D.talented and passionate.

3From the last two paragraphs, we know ________.

A.Jia Jia and Yu both wish for company

B.Jia Jia would rather live in the past than in the future

C.Yu uses Jia Jia to explore the anxiety of contemporary womanhood

D.The novel is mainly about a young widow finding her true love after loss

4Which of the following is NOT right according to the text?

A.Yu uses uncomfortable images to catch reader's attention.

B.The picture of a strange fish-man will take Jia Jia away from home .

C.Jia Jia can take up art again after her husband's unexpected death.

D.Jia Jia isn't satisfied with her marriage due to her husband's betrayal.

【题目】 Audrey Randolph, who used to be a librarian, is a car mechanic in London. But she didn’t find it easy to become a car mechanic. She had to attend a Centre, where people can learn a new job for 20 weeks. We asked her why she decided to work with cars. “My first reason was independence,” she said. “I also wanted to learn about how things work, using my hands. Besides, I’ve come to the conclusion that many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars.”

When it comes to her experiences in the Center, she tells us about it, “I was the only woman among four hundred men. And some of them were rude to me, just because of my sex.” However, Audrey said she made the right decision.

One hundred years ago women were second-class citizens in Britain. Men controlled everything. Not only that, they really believed that women were “the weaker sex”. Women, they say, depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition (直觉) to arrive at decisions, and sometimes are not even able to think clearly. But in the past century a lot has changed. Two women have become Prime Minister, and women can now compete as equals in every kind of job and profession. They also have more control over when to have a family and how many children they want. Nowadays both men and women go out to work. Consequently the traditional roles played by them in the family have changed greatly. Those times when the man was the major breadwinner and the woman stayed at home and looked after the house and the children are over. Most couples share the housework and in some homes it is now the man who stays at home with the kids and the woman who goes out to work.

1Why did Audrey go to the Centre?

A.To get trained in her job skills.

B.To prove she is more competent.

C.To show she isn’t challenging men.

D.To fight against sex discrimination.

2What do Audrey’s training experiences reflect?

A.Companies tend to employ more women.

B.Women undertake more social responsibilities.

C.Women can change jobs more easily than men.

D.Some men still look down upon women today.

3What was the argument men raised against women?

A.Women were serious about everything.

B.Women’s thoughts were often unclear.

C.Women’s decisions were unreliable.

D.Women were weak physically.

4What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Men Are Carrying on a Sex-fight.

B.Women Are More Independent Now.

C.A Woman Made a Right Decision.

D.Men and Women Should Be Equal.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?1. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.2. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

3. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.4. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

5. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

AOn the other hand, black is depressing.

BThey tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up — we are born with our preference.

CThe rooms are painted in different colors as you like.

DIf you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.

G. Colors do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it
