But one thing man knew
22、 before he ever reached the moon was that there was no life on it. There is no atmosphere on the moon. The lack of air means that the moon is not protected from any of the suns rays. The sun sends out heat and light radiation (辐射 ). Life on the earth depends on heat and light. But the sun also sends
23、 out dangerous kinds of radiation. The earths atmosphere protects us from most of them. On the moon, however, there is no atmosphere to stop the radiation. All the suns rays beat down on the surface of the moon. Because there is no atmosphere, the moons surface is either extremely hot or extremely c
24、old. As the moon circles around the earth, the side of it that is lighted up by the sun becomes very hot. The temperature there reaches more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温度 ). This is hotter than boiling water. The hot lunar day lasts two weeks. It is followed by a night that is also two weeks lon
25、g. At night the temperature drops to about 260 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. “This is more than twice as cold as temperatures reached at the earths South Pole. Under these conditions, no form of life that we know of here on the earth could exist on the moon. 51 Which of the following would be the b
26、est title for this text? （ A） Why is there no air on the moon? （ B） Why is the moon colder than the South Pole? （ C） Why is the moon hotter than the earth? （ D） Why is there no life on the moon? 52 The underlined word “lunar“ ( Line 4, Para. 3) probably means something about _. （ A） the sun （ B） the

The center of the celebration is dinner. My mother s
28、pends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my aunt, Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two ch
29、ildren. My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and the gang usually show up an hour early and empty-handed. Joanns family is usually late while Richards group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of get
30、ting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation. Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all th
31、e supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least 30 minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found. Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is
32、a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over-crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas. 54 What does the underlined word “gang“ (Line 2, Para. 2 ) probably mean? （ A） The rest of the guests. （ B） Sals family members. （ C） The writer and her mother. （ D） The children of the guests. 55

34、at too much fish. （ C） She thinks there is too much waste. （ D） She doesnt like doing the preparation work. 57 What does the text mainly talk about? （ A） Comparison shopping for Christmas. （ B） The Christmas dinner at the writers house. （ C） The guests present at the writers Christmas dinner. （ D） S
35、uggestions for how Christmas should be celebrated. 58 Candlelight bathes the restaurant guests in a friendly light; the menu is about to be served. Stone guests are prepared to eat while others are looking around with nervous glances. Which knives and forks should be used first, and where should you
36、 put the napkin? For a while table manners were “out“. Now men and women aged 30 or so are rediscovering the finer points of being polite. Good manners give a pleasant impression. But how do you eat “properly“? The golden rule is to act silently. You should not talk to someone with your mouth full.
37、When eating a five-course meal-a frequent event during the holiday season-guests neednt feel frightened by the variety of knives and spoons before them. You work your way towards the plate from the outside. Uncertain situations often can be mastered with common sense. For example, many unknown salad
38、 greens can be difficult to tell from one another, but you can cut them all with a knife. The napkin remains subject to special care. The correct way is to fold it in half and lay it on your lap. If you will leave your place, you should always place your napkin next to the plate. After the meal is f
39、inished, both cloth and paper napkins are folded and not thrown onto the plate. The proper table manners can also serve professional advancement. If a choice has to be made among several people for an important position, the employer may choose to lunch with them. Those who make noise with their lip
