9.Space TouristsSaturday 28April,2001:Dennis Tito was setting off on his holiday."So what?"you might think.Well,Mr.Tito's journey was certainly unusual!So was the transport he chose,and the price of his trip.The 60-year-old millionaire from New York was sitting on board a Russian spaceship.He was on a journey to the International Space Station.It might have been a routine trip for the two Russian astronauts who were travelling with him,but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey.Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space,and he had paid $20million to go there.As the spacecraft left the earth's atmosphere,Tito drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate and looked down at the earth's blue-green surface.Two minutes later,he was sick.Luckily it was only a minor problem.He soon recovered,and from then on enjoyed a smooth journey.When he arrived at the space station,there was a big smile on his face."A great trip!"he commented."I love space."
For a long time space travel was something for heroes.But if some people are right,all this is going to change.One of them is Charles Miller,Director of a company called ProSpace.They are investing1 large amounts of money in space travel."Tito's adventure was just the beginning.We're going to see exciting new things in the next twenty years!"Charles Miller says.
Companies like ProSpace want space and space travel to belong to the public,not just governments.There are other future plans,like cruises2 through space from one side of the world to the other.Maybe we will be able to leave from New York at nine o'clock in the morning,and arrive in Tokyo an hour later!Such a schedule would allow the business traveller to return to New York on the same day,and still have eight hours for a meeting!How's that for speed?
1.invest:to spend money in order to make something succeed
2.cruise:journey

解答 BAACB CAFDA
61.B.细节理解题.根据第一段中Saturday 28April,2001:Dennis Tito was setting off on his holiday.Well,Mr.Tito's journey was certainly unusual!可知,Tito的旅行是不同寻常的,故该项描述错误.
62.A.细节理解题.根据第二段中Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space,and he had paid $20million to go there可知,他的太空之旅花费了他2000万美元,所以花费是不菲的,故该项描述正确.
63.A.细节理解题.由第二段最后几句话的内容When he arrived at the space station,there was a big smile on his face."A great trip!"he commented."I love space."可知,他是很喜欢这次旅行的;故该项描述正确.
64.C.推理判断题.根据第二段中Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space,一句可知,文章只说了他是第一个上太空旅行的人,所以并没有多少游客到过太空;故该项描述在文中并未提及.
65.B.细节理解题.根据文中一句Companies like ProSpace want space and space travel to belong to the public,not just governments可知,像ProSpace这样的公司希望太空之旅属于公众而不是政府,所以该项描述与文中内容不符.
66.C.词义猜测题.根据后面的内容but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey可知,对于天文学家来说是常见的,而对于他来说是不同寻常的,所以可推测出routine的词义为normal and regular;故选C.
67.A.词义猜测题.根据副词luckily可知,这应该不是很严重的疾病,所以minor指的是小的,不严重的;故选A.
68.F.词义猜测题.文中没有F选项.请添加.
69.D.词义猜测题.根据文中内容所述,这些是以后的计划,所以future指的是likely to exist later以后可能存在的情况;故选D.
70.A.标题判断题.根据文中第一段Well,Mr.Tito's journey was certainly unusual!So was the transport he chose,and the price of his trip.内容描述可知,本文主要描述了一位百万富翁的太空之旅;应该使用For the first time in history,a tourist made a trip into space作为文章的标题最合适;故选A.
点评 做阅读判断题时,首先需要在通篇理解大意的基础上找到与题干相关的线索;其次应由表及里的准确把握字里行间的意思,所有判断的依据都应基于原文,切勿凭自己的常识进行主观臆断.
