Ⅳ. 阅读理解 On the 40th anniversary of the first man on the moon, NASA is looking 11 years into the future to the next men and women on the moon. Since 2005, the space agency has planned to return to the moon in 2020, in part, to prepare for future manned missions to other parts of our solar system, such as Mars. A key element is developing the technology to help people to work and live on the moon for up to 180 days—an ongoing effort that had its beginning in the Apollo program that put Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin on the moon in July 1969 and has continued through the International Space Station project. “Before you can go someplace like Mars, you really need to be able to establish an understanding of how to live off the planet, ”Ms Madison said of the 2020 moon mission. She noted that a mission to Mars would be lengthy: six months to get there, a year on the Red Planet and then six months to return to the Earth. Consequently, the moon will become a steppingstone to the rest of the solar system, a proving ground for new technology and a training facility for a new generation of space explorers.
In every way the Apollo program’s methods and machinery will be eclipsed(黯然失色)by Orion—the name given to the crew exploration vehicle that will investigate the moon’s surface. On the first return trip to the moon, astronauts will stay on the moon for seven days—more than twice the Apollo astronauts’ record. What’s more, Orion is considerably bigger than Apollo’s modules to accommodate a larger crew, with three-or four-man teams replacing the two-man groups that explored the moon’s surface in the 1960s and early ’ 70s.
However, Mr Olson said NASA’s plan for a “sustained U. S However, Mr Olson said NASA’s plan for a “sustained U.S. presence on the moon” does not exclude international partners in the mission. The U. S. will build the transportation system that will transport the astronauts from the Earth to the moon and back. But other countries are open to help in other ways, Mr Olson said, adding that NASA always has intended to have international involvement in the project. The sharing of resources, data and technology will be important to the next moon mission’s success.
In fact, much of the technology that NASA has developed to help moon explorers live and work on the lunar surface already has been tested, approved and shared in various commercial markets.
1. How long did the Apollo astronauts stay at most on the moon in the 1960s and early ’70s? A. Seven days. B. Ten days. C. Three days. D. One day. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据“On the first return trip to the moon, astronauts will stay on the moon for seven days—more than twice the Apollo astronauts’ record”可知在2020年的重返月球的计划中,宇航员将在月球上呆7天,是“阿波罗”航天员最长记录的两倍多,故可推知“阿波罗”航天员呆在月球上的时间最长是三天。
2. According to the passage, the moon will be used in the following ways EXCEPT________ . A. as a base to further explore Mars B. as a testing ground for new technology C. as an energy supplier for the Earth D. as a training facility for space explorers
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据“to prepare for future manned missions to other parts of our solar system, such as Mars”/“the moon will become a steppingstone to the rest of the solar system, a proving ground for new technology and a training facility for a new generation of space explorers”可知A、B和D项正确。C项没有提及。
3. Compared with the Apollo’s modules, Orion________. A. can accommodate more astronauts B. can store more food C. will be much smaller D. can travel much faster 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据“Orion is considerably bigger than Apollo’s modules to accommodate a larger crew”可知Orion能容纳更多的航天员。
4. What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph? A. Why the USA intends to return to the moon. B. How the space technology is applied commercially. C. When the USA will explore Mars. D. What challenges the astronauts will face on the moon. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。要求推测作者的写作思路。最后一段提到了太空技术在商业领域得到了检测、认可和分享,故在接下来的一段作者极可能会提到太空技术是怎样在商业领域里应用的。

Ⅳ. 阅读理解 (A) The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food,minerals and treasure. For thousands of years,he could sail on it. But he couldn’t go far beneath its surface. Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However,he isn’t a fish. Because he must breathe air,he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water,man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece.
Water weighs 800 times as much as air Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure. When a diver is under great pressure,his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to the surface,the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly,the gases in his blood form bubbles. The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水员病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. They can even kill him.

(B) When might you need to give blood for a personality test? The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job. Some people believe that your blood group hides no secrets. It shows the “real you”. And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at a certain task. This is the very reason why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.
The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world. One important business company in Japan is quite special about these needs: “For our office members,we must have 30 percent of those with group A and 15 percent with AB,25 percent with B. ”
Do you happen to know that if your own blood group is O,you can get things done and sell the goods well? People with blood group A are thinkers,while those with blood group B are highly creative. And if you have problems,ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visit the Japanese company,you would find the O types selling goods and A types keeping order in the office. 找工作还要验血看血型?大概有很多人闻所未闻,但是这种做法确有道理,因为不同血型的人会有不同的性格特征,从而适应不同的工作岗位。
