閱讀理解精選6In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canadas Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (試發(fā)射) a satellite the size of a Rubiks cube. The one-kilogram Win-Cub satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes. There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations. The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space. “These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (創(chuàng)新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added. The Win-Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitobas devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth. 31. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is . A. named after Manitoba and its shape B. intended for international communication C. designed like a Rubiks cube both in shape and size D. challenged by university students around the world32. According to Mr. Bjomson, . A. those Manitoba high school students are worth praising B. the study of space can be practically made in classrooms C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space D. scientific research is too far away from high school students 33. The primary purpose of the project is to . A. find the early signs of earthquakes B. relate studies to practical C. help high school students study real-world engineering D. inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students34. Which of the following statements is WRONG?A. In Canada there are 80 similar satellite programs in all.B. These students will have an opportunity to learn more about engineering through the project.C. These high school will have a strong love for discovery and be interested in science.D. This Win-Cube program is very successful in Canada.35. The best title for this passage may be . A. Manitoba School B. Win-Cube Program C. Space Co-operation D. Satellite Launching 【答案與解析】 3135 CADAB本文主要講述了一群來(lái)自加拿大Manitoba省的高中學(xué)生在專家的幫助下成功發(fā)射了一枚叫Rubiks Cube(魔方)的人造衛(wèi)星，這枚衛(wèi)星將用來(lái)幫助發(fā)現(xiàn)早期地震跡象，這樣的活動(dòng)有助于提高學(xué)生的能力，激勵(lì)學(xué)生探索的欲望。31. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 答案在第一段。32. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。他們成功發(fā)射了魔方這顆衛(wèi)星，從倒數(shù)第二段第一句話可看出答案是A。33. D 推理判斷題。 寫這些事情的目的，在于激勵(lì)學(xué)生探索的欲望。34. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知A項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的說(shuō)法。35. B 主旨大意題。 只有Win-Cube program才能全面表達(dá)這篇文章的大意。
