请仔细阅读第56-60题中的五个段落，然后从A到F六个选项中选出和每个段落对应的内容。其中有一项多余。                                            

请阅读以下五个人的信息，然后为他们选择最适合的一项活动：

  Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.

  Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.

  We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.

  Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.

51.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

   A. Sending information for weather forecast.        B. Taking photographs of the Earth.

   C. Sending TV pictures.                         D. Providing food for airplane pilots.

   A.35,880 kilometers per hour.                   B.335,880 kilometers per hour.

   C.11,000 kilometers per hour.                   D.110,000 kilometers per hour

53.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?

  A. In order to take photographs.                  B. In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.

  C. In order to move away from its orbit.            D. In order to send television pictures.

54.What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

  A. A satellite.                                       B.A little rocket.

  C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.

  D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.

55.Which is true of satellites?

  A.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.

  B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.

  C.A broken satellite is never left in space.

  D. They often crash into each other.

  I've loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.

  Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”

  I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

  They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface (表面)”.

  As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

  My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace – it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

  But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside – a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.

  “In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”
