He was the first tourist in space. “I spent sixty years on Earth and eight days in space and from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives,“ Tito explained. He loved

7、his time in space, “Being in space and looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have.“ This kind of experience isn“t cheap. It cost $20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. “For me it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when I di

8、dn“t have any money.“ he told reporters. On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world“s second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African businessman. At the age of twenty-eight, he also paid $20 million for the eight day trip. Both Tito and Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a compa

9、ny called Space Adventures. The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list for flights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn“t exist yet. Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers

10、are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it“s so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people. That day may soon be here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tou

11、rs will depart from an island in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty- five days of astronaut training in Russia and California, seven days in space, and a vacation in Tonga for $2 million. However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA“s deputy assistant adm

12、inistrator for space flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this it may take time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down?（分数：7.00）(1).Dennis Tito was the first tourist in space.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned

15、题数：1，分数：8.00)Pedestrians Only1. The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages, traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and more importantly, safety. As far back as 2,000 years ago, road traffic w

16、as banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the tree movement of Pedestrians (行人), and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had closed for the day. In most other cities, however, pedestrians were forced to share the streets with horses, coaches and, later, with cars and ot

17、her motorised vehicles. 2. The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experienc

18、e. Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to start. 3. At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unabl

19、e to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic, there were even noisy demonstrations, as many shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers. 4. However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics. In Munic

20、h, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On Copenhagen“s main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increases of 2540 percent. Shopkeepers in Minneapolis, the USA, were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and

21、maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets. 5. With the arrival of the traffic-flee shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasn“t good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger ele

22、ctrical appliances (电器) actually saw their sales drop. Many of these were forced to move elsewhere, away from the city centre.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 1 1. A. Facing protest from shop owners B.

25、How to Be a Successful BusinesspersonHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Here“s a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants. Zubair kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest I

26、ndia. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane. At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for

27、 a company that rented cars. While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental (租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cook“s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didn

28、t like it,“ Mr. Kazi says, “but I always did the best I could.“ One day, Mr. Kazi“s two co-workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a ne

29、w restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit. A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bough

30、t the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more

31、 than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit. A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food,

32、 and retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too. Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn“t planning to stop there. He“s looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy. “I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it“s a mess,“ Mr. Kazi says, “Th

33、e only way it can go is up.“（分数：15.00）(1).When Mr. Kazi was young, his dream was to _.（分数：3.00）A.be an airplane pilotB.sell carsC.own a restaurantD.become a good cook(2).Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC to _.（分数：3.00）A.learn how to cookB.save money for a carC.save money on foodD.learn how to run a

36、el a vague long for the way things were. One-room schools are an endangered species, however. For more than a hundred years, one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the United

37、States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of nearly 800 remaining one-room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-open spaces between towns. Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that m

38、aybe there is something yet to be learned from one-room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like “peer-group teaching“ and “multi-age grouping“ for educational procedures that occur naturally i

39、n the one-room schools. In a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressure

40、s of being skipped ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils. In larger urban and suburban schools today, this is called “main streaming.“ A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear wh

41、y so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one-room school.（分数：15.00）(1).We learn from the first paragraph that one-room schools _.（分数：3.00）A.are the best in NebraskaB.are becoming more and more centralizedC.have had a strong influe

43、school system is that _.（分数：3.00）A.learning is not limited to one grade levelB.pupils mostly study math and EnglishC.some children have to be left backD.teachers are always busy(4).It can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents in Nebraska _.（分数：3.00）A.don“t like centralized schoolsB.come from

44、 other statesC.received education in one-room schoolsD.prefer rural life(5).What is the author“s attitude towards one-room schools?（分数：3.00）A.Critical.B.Humorous.C.Angry.D.Praising.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)“Lucky“ Lord Lucan-Alive or DeadOn 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat (贵族) , vanis

45、hed. The day before, his children“s nanny (保姆) had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA te

46、chniques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that “Lucky“, as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was

47、also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny. What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed

48、 It appears that the night after the murder, “Lucky“ borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan“s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel. Another version of events says that “Lucky“ left the blood-soaked car on the coast a

49、nd took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed. A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in I996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man
