14、er. It was a valuable moment for Voss because the ASEE program gave him added understanding of NASA, deepened his desire to fly in space, and intensified his application for astronaut status.It was not an easy process. Voss was actually passed over when he first applied for the astronaut program in
15、1987. Since then he has participated in three space mission. The 50-year-old Army officer, who lives in Houston, is now in training for a four-month mission as a crew member on the International Space Station starting in July 2000.Voss says the ASEE program is wonderful for all involved. “It brings

But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infr
23、ared scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on
24、a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest (害虫) problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by c
25、rops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers“. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 40 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new
26、technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultura

39、here are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.1 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 前三个选项使用中的搭配分别为：suspicious of/about，hostile to，angry with，而 hospitable 意思为“ 好客的“，不符合句子意思。无论从语义还是搭配看，都应该选 hostile。2 【
40、正确答案】 B【试题解析】 as 可在“such.as“、“the same.as“和“as.as“等结构中作关系代词，引导定语从句。在“such.as“结构中，as 有时用 that 替换。3 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题空格处是说如果这种鱼变得稀少。D 项“scarce 变得稀少“符合题意，如：Eggs are scarce and expensive this month(这个月鸡蛋又少又贵) 。其他三项中，A 项 minimum 意为“最小的“，B 项 short 意为“短的“ ，C 项 seldom 意为“很少“，都与题意不符。因此只有 D 项为正确答案。4 【正确答案】 C【

42、诉了他所发生的一切。8 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本句中的 except 前后关联的是两个时间概念：“每天早晨”和“下雨的时候”，所以只能用 when 连接，使后面部分成为时间状语才能符合题意。9 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 四个选项分别意为：originally“最初地，原始地，有独创性地”；extremely“极度地，非常地”；violently“剧烈地”；intensively“深入地，加强地”。 10 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 强调的是 determine 的宾语，determine 后一般接不定式作宾语；what 一般不用于强调结构。 二、Part II Reading C
