1.Washington:NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon,Ganymede,has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface.The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface,according to new Hubble observation.
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon,which is the largest in our whole solar system,is home to a subsurface ocean.
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95kilometres thick,which is about 10times deeper than Earth's oceans.But unlike our salty waters,Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150kilometres of ice.
While scientists have speculated(推测) since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede------the largest moon in our solar system------until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft,which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.
This discovery marks an important milestone,highlighting what only Hubble can accomplished.In its 25years in orbit,Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system.A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.
Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa,another moon orbiting Jupiter,and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth,but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets.Using these same principles,scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well.

28.What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passageB?
A.It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.
B.Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth.
C.It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.
D.Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.
29.Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards HubbleD?
A.Cautious
B.Doubtful
C.Negative
D.Favourable
30.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 meanC?
A.An underground ocean has been found in Europe.
B.The presence of an underground ocean in Europe is not possible.
C.It is now certain that there is an ocean ion Europe.
D.No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europe.
31.What type of writing does this passage belong toB?
A.A term essay                           
B.A news report
C.An experiment report               
D.An exploration review.

分析 本文是一篇新闻报道. NASA证实木星的最大卫星Ganymede上有海洋,这一发现再次拓宽了科学家的视野,使探寻太阳系内地球以外的生命的努力更进一步.

解答 BDCB
28:B  细节题.由第五段最后一句"A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth."可知,Ganymede 上的深海增加了人们对于地球以外存在生命的可能性的期待,故B项正确.A项,"Ganymede 这颗行星有着太阳系中最大的卫星",由第一段第一句"NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon,Ganymede…"可知,Ganymede 本身是木星的卫星,并不是行星,故A项错误;C项,"美国宇航局会将 Ganymede 设立为哈勃望远镜基地",全文未提及,故C项错误;D项,"Ganymede 上液态海洋的存在是由伽利略太空船首次证明的",由第四段最后的"…the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft,which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean"可知,伽利略太空船所采集的证据,并不能有效证明 Ganymede 上液态海洋的存在,故D项错误.故正确答案为B.
29:D   推断题.结合第五段第一句"This discovery marks an important milestone,highlighting what only Hubble can accomplished."可知,作者认为是一个里程碑式的发现,而这一发现突显了哈勃望远镜能达到的程度,并且只有哈勃望远镜能达到这种程度,故可推知作者对哈勃望远镜的态度是赞许的(Favourable).cautious 意为"小心谨慎的",doubtful 意为"怀疑的",negative 意为"否定的,消极的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.
30:C   推断题.结合划线句下文"…NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water."可知,NASA 计划发送无人飞行器去寻找水源可能带来的生命体,故科学家应该是确认了 Europa 这个星球上有水,NASA 才会派机勘察生命,C项正确.A项"在欧洲发现地下海洋",B项"欧洲有地下海洋是不可能的",句子描述的是 Europa 这个星球,与欧洲无关,故A、B项错误.D项"没有证据表明 Europa 星球上有海洋存在"不符合下文文意,故错误.故正确答案为C.
31:B   推断题.通读全文可知,本文从第三者的角度,对美国国家宇航局对于 Ganymede 卫星上存在海洋的新发现进行了客观的报道.再结合全文开头的"Washington"和第一段内容可知,第一段是对全文内容的高度概括,属于新闻的导语,Washington 是新闻的发出地,即"华盛顿电".由此可推断本文为一篇新闻报道,故B项正确.A项"一篇学期论文",C项"一份实验报告",D项"一篇探测的回顾",均不符.故正确答案为B.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

19.As an old-fashioned explorer,Paul Salopek sets out on foot to circle around the world.He is also a modern-day explorer.On top of a few clothes,a small first-aid kit and notebooks,he is carrying a recorder,a video camera,a small computer and a satellite phone-a telephone that connects to a satellite and can be used in many places where cell-phones don't work.
The journey is long:21,000miles!It will take seven years to complete it.
Salopek was born in California and spent his childhood in Mexico.He says he has always liked to travel and doesn't like to rush.At the age of fourteen,he climbed Mount Whitney in California and crossed the state's Sierra Nevada Mountains alone.When he was fifteen years old,he walked the length of Death Valley.He once rode a mule 2,000miles through mountains in Mexico.
As a longtime reporter,Salopek has reported from Africa,Asia and Mexico.Now 51years old,he plans to keep writing.As he travels around the world,he is writing stories about the people he meets and the way they live.He looks for how people find local solutions to big problems such as lack of food and water.He also records the sounds he hears and takes photos of the sky and the Earth's surface.
The long walk started in the Rife Valley in Ethiopia in East Africa.Many consider East Africa to be home to the first humans,who lived 160,000years ago.
Salopek is retracing the paths our ancestors took as they left Africa and settled in parts of  the Middle East,Europe,Asia and the Americas.As Salopek is walking,he is learning more about himself and all of humankind.

20.At the risk of sounding lazy,I'll just be honest:I used to hate making my bed.Why should I bother?I'm just going to get right back into it later,and no one except my immediate family will see it.
But something I read last week in Charles Duhigg's"The Power of Habit"changed my mind.According to Duhigg,making your bed every morning is connected with better productivity and sticking to a budget.It has also been suggested that making your bed promotes happiness.My interest was attracted.
According to Duhigg,making your bed is something called a keystone habit.Changing or forming keystone habits helps you develop other good habits.
I figured that I was the perfect test case for the Make Your Bed to Achieve Happiness Theory and that it was worth a try.So far I've made my bed for 10days in a row.And here's what I've noticed:Making my bed inspires my children to make their beds,clean their rooms and do the laundry and the dishes.
Karen Miller,author of"Hand Wash Cold",explains:"The state of your bed is the state of your head."I think she is on to something.When I leave my bed in a heap (一堆),I leave the bedroom feeling defeated by my bed,my alarm clock,and my general sleepy mood.I'm reluctant to get the day started.
But when I look at my freshly made bed,I have to admit it:I smile a little.I feel just a bit more motivated.Productive,even.But sticking to a budget?That part is still up for debate.I just bought some beautiful pillows for my freshly made bed.I can't leave that beautiful bed half-dressed,can I?
28.The author decided to make her bedA.
A.under the influence of a book
B.to form some keystone habits
C.to create a good impression
D.at the request of her family
29.After watching the author making her bed,the author's childrenC.
A.got up very early 
B.felt happier at home
C.began to share the housework 
D.loved her more than before
30.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"reluctant"?B
A.curious.
B.unwilling.
C.lucky.
D.regretful.
31.How does the author feel about the habit of making her bed?D
A.It is a waste of time.
B.It helps save money.
C.It promotes communication.
D.It makes a difference in life.

Sir,
Just over six months ago,I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare.Your company,Cosmo books Ltd.,offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a‘remarkable'price:fifteen pounds and fifty pence,including postage and packing.I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time,and these books,in red imitation leather,looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.
Two weeks later,the books arrived,together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered.So I returned the Dickens books to you,with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare.Two more weeks passed.Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare,the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere,in French.Since I do not read French,these were of no use to me at all.However,I could not afford to post all these books back to you,so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year,instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want,and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.
You did not reply to that letter.Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds,and a set of the plays of Schiller,in German.Since then,a new set of books has arrived every two weeks,the works of Goethe,the poems of Milton,the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have.The books are still all in their boxes,in the garage,and my car has to stand in the rain outside.
I have no room for any more books,and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment,I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.
Please send no more books,send no more bills,send no more angry letters demanding payment.Just send one large lorry and take all the books away,leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours faithfully,
SIMON WALKER
