第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从各篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

It was shortly before midnight, and Dr Patricia was getting ready for bed. The phone rang on the end of the line was a woman about to break a promise.

The woman was her mother’s neighbor. Flora Harris had made the neighbor swear she wouldn’t tell her daughter she’d had a heart attack and was in the hospital, for fear her daughter would worry. The neighbor wisely decided to disobey orders.

Harris desperately wanted to get to the hospital immediately, but she couldn’t. She lives in Washington, D. C, and her mother lives in California.

For the past year a half, Harris has gone to Los Angeles every other month to take care of her mother. Flora Harris takes care of her husband, James, who’s 91 and has Alzheimer’s disease. They live in their own home, and a caregiver comes to help them a few hours a day.

Harris is one of many Americans facing the heartache of how to take care of aging parents from afar. She’s often worried, not to mention exrtemely busy with a demanding job, two teenage daughters and the frequent trips to California.

In some ways, Harris is lucky. She has the resources to make the trips to Los Angeles. Plus, Harris is a doctor who treats the elderly.

“But it’s still tough,” she says. “I can foresee what the next few years are going to look like, and it’s not a pretty picture. My father’s going to need diapers (尿布). There will come a time when he won’t recognize me and he’s easily excited. I worry he’s going to be violent and hurt my mother.”

So what do you do when you live a continent away from your aging, sick parents? There are no magic answers. You can hire someone to help, but you can’t oursource it completely.

51.Why was the woman thought to have broken a promise?

A.She failed to take care of Flora.

B.She was not supposed to call Harris at midnight.

A.She thinks it harder to look after her parents the next few years.

B.Her parents cannot take of themselves at all.

C.She cannot do a demanding job.

D.She cannot afford to go to California often.

53.What does the underlined word “outsource” in the last paragragh mean?

A.Arrange somebody outside to do a job.

B.Work something out by oneself.

54.What’s the main idea of this passage?

NASA is moving ahead with plans to put a long-armed Lander on Mars’ icy North Pole to search for clues for water and possible signs of life.

The $386 million Phoenix Mars is planned to touch down in the Martian arctic in 2008. The stationary probe will use its robotic arm to dig into the icy land and pick up soil samples to analyze. In 2002, the Mars Odyssey orbiter spotted evidence of ice-rich soil near the arctic surface.

Scientists hope the Phoenix mission will find clues to the geologic history of water on the Red Planet and determine whether microbes existed in the ice.

Phoenix will be the first mission of the Mars Scout program, a renewed, low-cost effort to study the Red Planet. “The Phoenix mission explores new territory in the northern plains of Mars analogous to the permafrost regions on Earth,” Peter Smith said.

True to its name, Phoenix rose from the ashes of previous missions. The lander for Phoenix was built to fly as part of the 2001 Mars Surveyor program. But the program broke down after the well-known disappearance of the Mars Polar Lander in 1999. The Polar Lander lost contact during a landing attempt near the planet’s south pole after its rocket engine shut off prematurely, causing the spacecraft to fall about 130 feet to almost certain destruction.

The Phoenix probe had been in storage at a Lockheed Martin clean room in Denver before it was reused for its present mission. It will carry science instruments that were designed for the Mars Surveyor program including an improved panoramic camera and a trench-digging robotic arm. Phoenix will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in August 2007 and land on the planet nine months later.

   A. clues of water will be found in Phoenix

   B. Phoenix will be sent to find clues of water on Mars

   C. August 2007 will see Phoenix lift off

   D. the Mars Scout program will be carried out

48. According to the passage, we know Phoenix will land on Mars _________.

A. in May 2008                                   B. in August 2007   

C. in August 2008                                   D. in September 2008

49. According to the passage, the name “Phoenix” is after the meaning of _________.

   A. rebirth               B. death                C. energy                     D. hope

50. After Phoenix lands on Mars, we can infer it will firstly _________.

   C. take photos and send them to the earth
