Task 1 Directions: After read

16、ing the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 32 The Earth has a force that pulls things toward itself. We call this force gravity(地心

17、引力 ). This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it. But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overcome if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all. Take the throwing of a ball as an example. The harder

18、 the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the secret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The speed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard en

19、ough because the speed required to escape completely from the Earths gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour. Once escape speed has been reached by a spacecraft(宇宙飞船 ), no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will “coast“(滑行 ) the

20、rest of the way because the Earths gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance(阻 力 ) in space to slow it down. This “coasting“ is known as “free fall“. That does not mean the rocket is falling down towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid of pow

21、er, like a bicycle coasting downhill. Free fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time. 32 What is the most important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth? （ A） To travel as fast as it can. （ B） To overcome

22、the Earth gravity. （ C） To get away from the air resistance. （ D） To have strong power in its operation. 33 How fast will a rocket go to escape completely from the Earths gravity? _ （ A） Seventy miles per second. （ B） Seven thousand miles per hour. （ C） Twenty-five thousand miles per second. （ D） Tw

23、enty-five thousand miles per hour. 34 As there is always the Earths gravitational pull, people _. （ A） accept it without questioning it （ B） never notice its presence （ C） hardly think about how to use it （ D） often try to escape from it 35 When a bicycle “coasts“ downhill, it _. （ A） runs along the

24、 hillside （ B） does not need any further power （ C） runs freely to all directions （ D） does not meet with air resistance 36 Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time? （ A） Few spacecrafts complete their flight operations. （ B） The Earths gravity cannot be overcome. （ C）

25、 No further power is needed after the escape speed is reached. （ D） Free fall takes the place of the Earths gravity pull. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 37 How men learnt to invent words is unknown; in other wo

26、rds, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that-men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could b

27、e combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the lon

28、ger we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal (吸引 )

29、 powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling (有效的，有力的 ) words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should ther

30、efore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately (精确地 ), or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的；无礼的 ) 37 One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that _ . （ A） they could agree upon certain signs （ B） they could write them do

33、ound the readers （ B） to move our action （ C） to puzzle our feelings （ D） to move men to tears 41 We can make our speech refined and polished _ . （ A） by using words with care and accuracy （ B） by using words at random （ C） by using bombastic words （ D） by using resounding words Task 3 Directions: T
