四、阅读理解(共15小题,每题3分,共45分)
阅读下列短文,然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选项中选出的一项。
A
The body that is nearest to the Earth is the moon. It circles the Earth and is therefore known as a satellite of the Earth.
Natural as well as man-made satellites circle the planets in a fixed path or orbit (轨道). Why do satellites stay in orbit? Why don't they shoot off into outer space?
This behaviour of satellites can be explained by doing a simple experiment. Tie a stone to a piece of string and circle it around your head. If you let your end of the string go, the stone will not keep moving in a circle. It will fly off in a straight line.
Moving things always travel in straight lines at the same speed unless they are acted on by an external force. When the stone is circling around your head, the string keeps pulling the stone inward so that it travels in a circle rather than in a straight line.
A satellite stays in orbit because the planet's gravitational (重力的) force keeps pulling on it,just as the string keeps the stone moving in a circle.
There are many man-made satellites orbiting around the Earth.
Man-made satellites can be used for various purposes. Depending on their use, we call them by different names, such as: weather satellites which help in forecasting (预报) the weather,communication satellites containing special equipment and scientific satellites carrying scientific equipment which can gather various information about space.
The information sent back by man-made satellites has helped scientists to send manned spacecraft safely into space.
36. The example of the stone is used to__________.
A. feel the moving of satellites
B. find the secret of satellites
C. show the force that drives satellites
D. explain the behavior of satellites
37. Without gravitational force ,the satellites would__________.
A. fly off into outer space
B. move in circles
C. circle around the earth
D. stay in orbit
35. Man-made satellites can NOT be used in providing __________.
A. weather information
B. equipment information
C. space information
D. communication information

I have a cousin,who died this month.
Georgie,as I used to call him,although he would have turned sixty soon, suffered brain damage at birth. He stuttered (结巴), never graduated from high school, and worked at a store called The Jubilee. He loved it there, driving through the early morning darkness to open the place, to make sure the shopping carts were all in order and to greet the first customers of the day.
Although we grew up less than a mile away from each other,we were never close. As a kid, I was impatient(不耐烦) with his slow speech. And then I went off to college and another life, seeing him only once a year or so whenever I came home and stopped by the store to pick up some milk.
I'm sorry about that now: sorry I didn't make more of an effort to get to know him better.
He had his cats,his cigars,and the sandwich he'd pick up on his way home from work. Just a few days before he died,he asked if a co-worker could bring him one to the hospital.
My room, my brother and 1 visited him there on Christmas Day,but almost immediately he told us we'd better get home. As usual, he was worried about the weather.
They say that the family is often the last to really know its members. Maybe they are right. People told me stories of a man I never knew.
There were people who said he knew which shopping cart they wanted.
And there was the woman at the post office who said he'd often bring her cookies(饼干). "You need your energy. " he'd said.
He was the first person many saw in the morning,and to them that was a great comfort.
They said it will be very strange not to see him standing there by the shop's front door. Now I miss my cousin Georgie.

6.【答案】D
【解题指要】本题考查动词的时态。该句要表达的意思是:我认为你还没有读完我今天上午借给你的那本书。句中有明确表示代表过去时间的状语this morning,所以要用动词的一般过去式,故本题选择D。
7.【答案】B
【解题指要】本题考查动词的时态。该句要表达的意思是:十几岁的青少年们因为过多地玩电脑游戏而在伤害自己的健康。因为“玩电脑游戏”和“伤害自己的健康”是同时发生的事,所以要用动词的现在进行式。因此本题选择B。
8.【答案】B
【解题指要】本题考查电话用语。该句要表达的意思是:一是彼得吗?一请别挂断电话,我看是否能帮你找到他。这是电话用语,hold on是让对方不要挂电话,稍等一下。故本题选择B。
9.【答案】C
【解题指要】本题考查疑问词用法。该句要表达的意思是:他饭正吃到一半,突然听到一个熟悉的声音,when在句中不是引导时间状语从句,而是一个并列句,when的意思相当于“just at that time”就在那时突然……,因此本题选择C。
10.【答案】D
【解题指要】本题考查动词的时态。该句要表达的意思是:据说欧洲早期的扑克牌是为了娱乐和教育而设计的。“the early European playing cards”,欧洲早期的扑克牌显然不是现代的,并且扑克牌是被设计的,所以要用一般过去时的被动语态,故此题选择D。
11.【答案】B
【解题指要】本题考查情态动词的用法。该句要表达的意思是:你不可能已经饿了,你两个小时前才吃的午饭。can’t在这里表示“现在不可能”,符合题意。wouldn’t是过去将来时,mustn’t是“禁止做……”,needn’t是“不必做……”,都不符合题意。故本题选择B。
12.【答案】B
【解题指要】本题考查非谓语动词的用法,该句要表达的意思是:为了学好英语,我们应该尽可能多听他人说英语。Listen to sb.doing sth.听某人做某事,这是个习惯用法,四个选项中只有B是动词的.ing形式。
13.【答案】D
【解题指要】本题考查动词的用法。该句要表达的意思是:你还记得去年被邀请到我们学
校作报告的事吗?remember既可接to do sth,也可接doing sth,但二者含义完全不同remember to do sth,表示“记着去做某事(意思是事情还没有做)”,而remember doing sth意为“记着已经做过某事”。因为本句中指的是去年已经做过的事,故只能用remember doing形式,因此排除A和B。又因为invite一般后接人作宾语,表示邀请了某人,本句中invite后无宾语,说明是被邀请,应该用被动语态。故本题选择D。
14.【答案】C
【解题指要】本题考查短语的用法。该句要表达的意思是:我怎么能说英语说得跟你一样好呢?“英语说得好”的“好”修饰动词,应该用副词well。本题选择C。

19.【答案】C

20.【答案】C
【解题指要】本题考查连词的用法。该句要表达的意思是:除非这个星期日下雨或是太冷,否则我们就去公园野餐。本题考查if和unless的区别,if意为如果……就,而unless意思正好相反,意思是“如果不……就……”,因此本题选择C。

29.【答案】C
【解题指要】本题考查连词。该句要表达的意思是:有时改变生活方式会很危险,除非他能确保成功(一直坚持这样直到顺利结束)。根据逻辑关系可知,应选unless(除非,如果不),unless引导条件状语从句。故本题选择C。
30.【答案】D

34.【答案】B
【解题指要】本题考查连词的用法。该句要表达的意思是:但如果他足够小心,足够认真的话。此处与前文形成转折关系。从正反两方面说明人们怎样才能生活得好,因此只能用转折连词but。故此题选择B。
35.【答案】C
【解题指要】本题考查代词的用法。该句要表达的意思是:驾驶和生活这两者都能给他带来快乐。they指的是“driving on a highway”和“living one’s life”这两件事情,因此本题选择C。
