9.Junk is everywhere,even in space.But getting rid of space junk is much harder than simply cleaning your bedroom.Space junk travels at 8 kilometers a second,according to an article in the Guardian.Catching it is a bit of a challenge.
     Luckily,scientists at the Swiss space center have a new cleaning plan.Theyare about to send a"cleaner satellite"into space within the next five year?.It will clean up space junk,according to a report in the Guardian.
     Named"Clean Space One",the Swiss satellite finds its target and moves close to it.When it reaches its target,it will catch the junk with a gripping claw (抓手).This is not going to be an easy task because both the satellite and the junk are traveling so fast.
     Once Clean Space One has caught the junk,all it has to do to get rid of it is to fly back to Earth.This is because the junk will bum up when traveling through the atmosphere.The satellite itself will burn up a',the same time.
     Ever since people started to send objects into space more than 50 years ago,there has been junk in space.Junk on Earth like food wrappers (包装纸)or waste paper is also a problem.But space junk is mainly made up of exploded rockets and broken satellites.If no one cleans them away,they just keep traveling around Earth.
     So far,NASA has found 16.000 pieces of junk that are larger than 10cm in diameter(直径)and more than 500,000 pieces measuring between 1cm and 10cm.You can imagine how many even smaller ones there are in space.
     Space junk is dangerous for spacecraft (飞船) and the International Space Station.Even a very small piece could seriously damage-or even destroy-a satellite or space-craft if it collided (碰撞) with the junk.The International Space Station has to regularly change its orbit to avoid space junk,
     Space junk might also be a danger to humans.During the last four months,three very large spacecraft have fallen to Earth.Fortunately,no one was hurt because the junk landed in the ocean.
45.According to the article,space junkD.
    A.travels at the same speed as satellites
    B.could be cleared away within five years
    C.travels at 8 kilometers per hour
    D.will cause a lot of trouble to space stations
46.What will happen to the space junk if it is not cleaned up?C
    A.It will explode in a few years.
    B.It will drift away from Earth eventually.
    C.It will keep traveling around Earth.
    D.It will gather and become a large mass.
47.Which of the following is TRUE about a"cleaner satellite"?B
    A.The junk is dealt with after it reaches Earth.
    B.Catching space junk is difficult for a satellite.
    C.The'satellite can catch several pieces of junk at once.
    D.The satellite goes back to space after it has finished its task.
48.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A
    A.The history of space junk dates back 50 years.
    B.Space stations travel in the same orbit as the junk.
    C.Space junk is harmless to people on Earth.
    D.It's impossible to stop space junk from colliding with spacecrafts.

分析 本文是一篇说明文.主要阐述了有关太空垃圾的相关信息.文章涉及了三个方面:什么是太空垃圾、太空垃圾的危险性以及清理太空垃圾的重要性和紧迫性.垃圾无处不在,太空有垃圾;清理太空垃圾要比打扫卧室困难的多,因为他们运行速度很快,要抓到这些垃圾难度很大,是一项挑战.瑞士太空站的科学家们有了新计划,预计在五年内发射一颗名为卫星来清理太空垃圾.这些卫星本身也会烧掉,不会回到地球.人们在50年前就开始清理太空垃圾,太空垃圾对太空飞船和国际空间站很危险,对人类也有危险.

解答 45.D     细节理解题.根据倒数第二段中的"Space junk is dangerous for spacecraft (飞船) and the International Space Station"可知,太空垃圾对太空飞船和国际空间站很危险,A项错误,文中只说到卫星和太空垃圾都在高速飞行,并没有提到彼此的速度是否一样,故排除;B项错误,文中第二段说的是"send a"cleaner satellite"into space within the next five years",而不是说太空垃圾能在五年内清理干净;文中只说到卫星和太空垃圾都在高速飞行,故排除;C项错误,应该是"travels at 8 kilometers per second",而非"per hour",故排除; 故选D.
46.C     细节理解题.从第五段中的最后一句话"If no one cleans them away,they just keep traveling around earth."可知,如果太空垃圾不清理干净,他们会绕地球一直高速飞行运转,故选C.
47.B     推理判断题.根据第三段的最后两句"This is not going to be an easy task because both the satellite and the junk are traveling so fast"可知,能准确抓住太空垃圾是困难的,因为他们运行速度都很快.从第四段中的"the junk will burn up when traveling through the atmosphere"可知A项错误,故排除;C项文中没有提及,故排除; 从第四段中的最后一句"The satellite itself will burn up at the same time."可知,卫星本身也会烧掉,所以不会回到太空,D项错误,故排除;因此B项正确,故选B.
48.A    推理判断题.根据第五段中的第一句"Ever since people started to send objects into space more than 50 years ago,there has been junk in space."可知,虽然人们在50年前就开始发送物体到太空中清理太空垃圾,但太空仍然还有存在垃圾C,故选A.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

I was completely free then,so I'll to say"yes".I'll arrive in Bristol at around 8p.m.in/on  Friday evening Animation means making things which are lifeless coming alive.From earliest times,people have always attracted by movement,but it is not until this century we have managed to capture movement and to record them.In the world of cartoon animation,nothing is impossible.You can make the creating characters do exactly which you want them.A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat.Felix was a nice cat,who could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail,using it as handle and then putting it back.Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America,the home of the moving picture industry.Thus,to be an animator,you don't have to be a professional.It is impossible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all.All you have to do is draw direct on to blank film and then run a projector.
4.Society is the term to describe human beings gathered together by social networks t and power networks.It does not refer to everything everybody thinks or does,but,only refer to those things that everybody depends upon,for example,public services,governments,and all kinds of communities.
A society must keep even the poorest and weakest members willing to help even the richest and strongest,so it is very concerned with citizenship,rights,ethics (伦 理)and time limits.These are basic ways to achieve fairness.If they break down badly,people will think the society is unfair and start taking things from each other,refusing to help each other,or seeing those who have more as cheats.
When this happens,it is time for the society to break down or fail.Theft,violence and war are things that can make a society break down.A new society may be formed out of the collapse (崩溃)of an old failed one when people of different kinds reach an agreement about fairness and are willing to live together in harmony again.
To adapt to the society,people should make sure that their behavior can be supported by the society,that is to say,there must be some social rules on which citizens base what they do.However,some people take risks that the society will support them when they do whatever they intend to.For instance,they may refuse to obey the law,and count on their fellow society members to free them in a court of appeal,which harms the society.
Therefore we need a social contract which sets out rules for the society.One kind of the social contract is a constitution (宪法)-which allows a jury or court to decide what is right or wrong according to the social rules.

1.Today,we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries,which remain very popular today.
During earlier times,people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example,in Shakespeare's play"The Comedy of Errors"Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play"Macbeth",Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers,but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten,Shakespeare and his art live on.
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles,the fear of diseases,and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests,local flowers,and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time,the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example,he created the noun forms of"critic","mountaineer"and"eyeball".Many common expressions in English come from his plays,including"pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)"from"Othello","full circle(绕圈子地)"from"King Lear",etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance,Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.

61.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.
B.Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.
C.The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.
D.Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
62.Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works inB.
A."King Lear"B."The Comedy of Errors"C."Macbeth"D."Othello"
63.Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?D
A.Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.
B.Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.
C.Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.
D.Because his works were rich in imagination and language.
64.Shakespeare's greatest influence should be onA.
A.the English language  B.paintings       C.television    D.music and dance
