The Race into Space
American millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. 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 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 didn’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 company 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 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 tours will depart from an island in
However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NA SA’s deputy assistant administrator 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?

第 4 部分：阅读理 解 （第 3 1-4 5 题，每题3 分，共 4 5 分）
下面有3 篇短文，每篇短文后有5 道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1 个最佳选项。
第 1 篇 W alking to Exercise the B rain
Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve your grades? Think again. Getting s ome exercise m a y help, too.
N e w research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn’t exercise.
Previous research had shown that mice learn, remember, and pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel. Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who d o n ’t. Their brain cells also m a k e more connections.
Neuroscientists from the University at Urbana-Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true for people. First, they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults, ages 58 to 77，after each person walked 1 mile. Then,participants looked at arrows on a computer screen and had to use computer keys to sho w which w a y one particular arrow was pointing.
Adults w h o were physically fit were faster at the arrow task, and their answers were just as accurate as their less fit peers, the researchers found. The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions.
In a second study, 15 elderly people w h o completed a 6-month aerobic-training course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors w h o just did stretching and toning exercises for the same amount of time.
So, even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help. That should be good news for your grandparents.
The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven’t been studied yet. Still, it can’t hurt to take occasional study breaks and go for a walk or run around with your friends. Y o u might even do better in school.
Whatever you do, though, d o n ’t try to read and walk at the same time. Y o u could end up hurting yourself!
31. Walking regularly helps elderly people_____ .
A. lose weight

D. look younger
32. After taking exercise for a few weeks, the mice were found to h a v e_____ .

A. the less-fit participants did arrow tasks faster
B. the fitter participants did arrow tasks faster
C. the less-fit participants gave more accurate answers
D. the fitter participants gave more accurate answers
34. It can be good for health w h e n one takes a walk every 2 or 3 days for at least _____ .
A. 3 minutes
B. 45 minutes
C. 30 minutes
D. 10 minutes
35. It is suggested in the last paragraph that people should
A.run around once a wee k
B.not read and walk at the same time
C.go for a walk every day

第 2 篇 Night o f the L iving Ants
W h e n an ant dies, other ants m o v e the dead insect out of the nest. This behavior is interesting to scientists,w h o wonder h o w ants k n o w for sure and so soon that another ant is dead.
Dong - H w a n Choe, a scientist at the University of California found that Argentine ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants. “I’m dead. Take m e away.”
But there’s a twist to C h o e ’s discovery. These ants are a little bit like zombies ( 僵尸）. Choe says that the living ants, not just the dead ones, have this death chemicals. In other words, while an ant crawls around, perhaps in a picnic or home, it’s telling other ants that it's dead.
W h a t keeps ants from hauling a way the living dead? Choe found that Argentine ants have two additional chemicals on their bodies, and these tell nearby ants something like, “Wait-I’m not dead yet.” So C h o e ’s research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants ： one says, “I，m dead,” the other set says, “I’m not dead yet.”
Other scientists have tried to figure out h o w ants k n o w w h e n another ant is dead. If an ant is knocked unconscious, other ants leave it alone until it wakes up. That means ants k n o w that unmoving ants can still be alive.
Choe suspects that w h e n an Argentine ant dies, the chemical that says “Wait-I’m not dead yet” quickly goes away. O n c e that chemical is gone, only the one that says “I’m dead” is left. “It’s because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard, not because its body releases n e w unique chemicals after death,” said Choe. W h e n other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they
haul awa y the body. This was C h o e ’s hypothesis ( 假设).
To test his hypothesis, Choe and his team put different chemicals on Argentine ant pupae (蛹）. W h e n the scientists used the “I’m dead” chemical, other ants quickly hauled the treated pupae away. W h e n the scientists used the “Wait-I，m not dead yet” chemicals, other ants left the treated pupae alone. C hoe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemicals override ( 优先于） the “dead” chemical w h e n picked up by adult ants.A n d that w h e n an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemicals fade away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining“dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.
36. W h a t is meant by “death chemical” mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. A chemical that contains poison.
B. A chemical that causes death.
C. A chemical that announces death.
D. A chemical that prevents death.
37. Wh i c h of the following statements is N O T true of ants?
A. Ants k n o w very soon that another ant is dead.
B. W h e n an ant is dead, others m o v e its body out of the nest.
C. If an ant is unconscious, it is m o v e d out of the nest.
D. L iving ants have the “I’m dead” chemical on their bodies.
38. According to C h o e ，s hypothesis, _____ .
A. an ant still smells like a living w h e n it dies
B. the “I a m dead” chemical leaves the ant’s body w h e n it dies
C. the “I a m not dead yet” chemical is left w h e n an ant dies
D. the “I a m not dead yet” chemical leaves the ant’s body w h e n it dies
39. According to paragraph 7, what is the result of the test on Choe ’s hypothesis?
A. It shows that his hypothesis is wrong.
B. It proves that his hypothesis is convincing.
C. It suggests that his hypothesis needs revising.
D. Not enough evidence has been found to support his hypothesis.
40. The passage “Night of the L iving Ants” tells us about_____ .
A. h o w an ant is m o v e d out of the nest at night
B. what an ant does at night
C. h o w an ant finds its w a y in darkness
D. what happens w h e n an ant dies
第 3 篇 Silence Please
If there is one group of workers across the Western world w h o will be glad that Christmas is over, that group is shop workers.
It is not that they like to complain. They realize that they are going to be rushed off their feet at Christmas.They k n o w that their employers need happy customers to m a k e their profits that pay their wages. But there is one thing about working in a shop over Christmas that is too bad to tolerate.
That thing is music. These days, all shops and m a n y offices have what is k n o w n as “Piped music” or“m u z a k ” playing for all the hours that they are open. M u z a k has an odd history. During the 1940s, music was played to cows as part of a scientific experiment. It was found that cows which listened to simple, happy music produced more milk. Perhaps workers and customers w h o listened to simple, happy music would be more productive and spend more money.
In fact, nobody k n o w s what effect playing m u z a k in shops has on profits. It is simply something that everybody does. But w e are learning more about the effect of constantly repeated hearings of songs on the peoplew h o have to hear them all the time.
Research shows that repeated hearings of complex pieces of music bring greater enjoyment before becoming tiresome. A n d that point c o m e m u c h sooner with simple songs.
“That’s especially the case with tunes that are already familiar. O nc e that tipping point is reached, repeated listening b eco m e unpleasant,” says Professor John Sloboda of U K ，s Keele University ' s music psychology group.“A n d the less control you have over what you hear, the less you like it.”
That’s w h y police forces in the U S often try and resolve hostage situations by playing pop songs over and over again at high volume. Eventually, it becomes too m u c h for the criminals to stand and they give up.
The problem gets particularly bad at Christmas, w h e n the m u z a k consists entirely of the same few festive tunes played over and over again. W h a t makes it worse for the shop workers is that they already k n o w these tunes.They get bored veiy quickly. Then they get irritated. Then they get angry.
Shop workers in
It is not just shop workers w h o complain. A survey this year by U K recruitment website Retailchoice.com found that Christmas is not only the most testing time for shop workers, but that almost half had complaints from customers about muzak. A n d the British Royal National Institute for the Deaf estimates that some stores play jingle Bells 300 times each year.
“That’s acoustic torture,” says Nigel Rodgers of Pipedown, a group against muzak. “It，s not loud but the repetitive nature causes psychological stress.”
The group wants the government to legislate against unwanted music in stores, hospitals, airports, s wimming pools and other public places, claiming it raises the blood pressure and depresses the i m m u n e system.
Perhaps groups like Pipedown d o n ’t really have m u c h to complain about. After all, surely the real point is that people have m o n e y to spend w h y complain about a bit of music?
41. The shop workers in the Western world are glad w h e n Christmas is over because they d o n ，t have
to_____ .
A. rush their feet off all day
B. listen to the music playing all the time in the shop
C. work overtime to m a k e more profits for the boss
D. try to please the customers
42. It has been proved that listening to simple, happy has a good effect o n _____ .
A. cows
B. workers
C. customers
D. bosses
43. W h i c h of the following statements is true, according to the research findings reported in paragraph 6?
A. Repeated hearings of complex pieces of music are enjoyable and not tiresome.
B. Repeated hearings of complex pieces of music are tiresome at first and then become enjoyable.
C. Repeated hearings of simple songs are more enjoyable than those of complex pieces of music
D. Repeated hearings of simple songs become tiresome sooner than those of complex pieces of music
44. In hostage situations the U S police forces repeatedly play pop songs at high volume in order to_____ .
A. put pressure on the criminals
B. distract the attention of the criminals
C. keep the criminals awake
D. please the criminals
45. According to the article, which of the following most appropriately indicates the nature of the effect
repeated hearing of the same tune produces on the hearer?
A. Social.
B. Physical.
C. Psychological.
D. Both physical and psychological.

“People fear what they d o n ’t know,” said N a n c y Hotchkiss an organizer of the exhibition. “Sharks have been around for 400 million years and play an important role in the ocean’s food chain. W e want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection.”
48 . A study, published in January in the U S magazine, Science, found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past eight to 15 years.
Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods, such as shark fin soup. A n d m a n y others get caught in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish. 49 .
“S o m e fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks,” said Dave Schofield, the manager of the aquarium’s ocean health program me. 50 .
A. They call watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers.
B. A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.
C. In fact, 94 per cent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans.
D. It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.
E. And to m a k e this point clear, the m u s e u m has set up a special touching pool for children.
F. More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than 1 meter long.

Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in a nasty surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (使车辆不能调动的装置),and a radio signal from a control center miles a w a y will ensure that once the thief switches the engine 51 ，he will not be able to start it again.
For now, such devices 52 only available for fleets of trucks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle d o w n to ordinary cars and 53_ be available to ordinary cars in the U K 54 two months.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car incorporates 55 miniature cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a G P S satellite positioning receiver. 56 the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle，s engine management system and prevent the engine 57 restarted.
There are even plans for immobilizers 58 shut down vehicles on the move, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.

But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the o w n e r ’s keys in a burglary. In 2000, 12 percent of vehicles stolen in the U K were taken using the o w n e r ’s keys double the previous year’s figure.
Remote-controlled immobilization system would 64 a major n e w obstacle in the criminal’s w a y by making such thefts pointless.

48. B 该段的第1 句被删除了，要求补全。空白后面举例说明了过去8 至 1 5 年内鲨鱼种群消亡了多少，选项 B (A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by hum a n s. ) 显然是本段的主题句， 概括了本段的意思，为正确答案。
49. F 空白前面讲的是渔民们捕杀鲨鱼的事情，选项 F 具体谈到被捕杀的鲨鱼有多大，与前面叙述的内容形成一种逻辑上的连贯关系，为正确答案。
50. D 文章最后一段谈到现在的一些捕鲨方式快把鲨鱼捕尽了，选项 D 的意思是： 这种情况令人担忧 ， 有些地区已经采取措施来保护这些特殊的盤鱼（It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.) ， 可见 D 是正确的。
第 6 部分：完形填空
51. A 能与switch搭配的只有A 和 B ， 而空白后面说“ 不能再启动它（ 引擎) ” ，因此判断A ( 关掉）合适。
52. D 空白前面是复数名词，而且句子中出现了表示“ 现在”的时间 状语（ F o l l o w) , 因此判断选项D 是答案。
53. D 空白处所在的结构与前面的谓语（could soon start)并列，s o o n的出现暗示could是一种委婉的用法，而备选项中能表示委婉说法的只有D ， 而且前面的谓语部分说“可能很快开始逐渐在普通车辆上使用” ，空白后的结构说“ ……两个月……能在英国的普通车辆上使用”，因此确定空白处还是进行委婉的推断，因此判断D 是答案。
54. C 根据前面问题的分析，空白处应该需要表示将来时间的介词， C 合适。
55. C 后面与空白处并列的结构有表示数量的不定冠词，因此判断C 是 答 案 （一个微小的移动电话)。
56. B 因为空白后出现了句子结构，所以排除A ; 空格后句子的大意是“ ……汽车被偷，经过编码处理的移动电话信号将告诉……” ，因此判断B ( 如果）合适。
57. B 根据前面看到的结构“ 经过编码处理的移动电话信号将告诉……”推测空白处很可能表达了“ 防止汽车被启动” ，因此判断B 正确。prevent sb. / sth. (from) doing.:防止某人/某物。
58. C 空白前 是 名 词（使车辆不能调动的装置），因此判断空白后是定语从句，因为空白前的词语是“ 非人” ，而且在从句中做主语，所以答案是C 。
59. A 根据空白所在的结构的含义“ 已经使……对盗窃汽车的人来说更难” ，判 断 A ( 生活）是答案。
60. C 空白前面出现了被动语态的结构（ 被提供资金）， 而且空白后出现了一个组织（ 汽车保险工业），因此判断空格处应该出现介词by。
61. D 空白后面说“ ……新手怎样盗窃汽车” ，因此判断D 合适。
62. B 空白后面出现带t o的不定式结构，因此排除A 、 C 和 D 。
63. A 备选项表示考点是时态，因此注意句子中的时间状语（since 1997) ，该时间状语表明应该用现在完成时态，因此答案是A 。
64. D 空白后面的结构含义是“ 在罪犯的盗窃过程中一个新的大障碍” ，因此判断D 合适。
65. C 空白所在的从句结构说“ 系统上市会比……的期望快” ，比较备选项，判断C 最合适。
