This consistent and orderly time system, based on a grid of time 21 , seems so natural that people 22 give it a moments thought. So you may find it surprising to learn that prior to the late 1800s each community 23 its own time by looking at the sun. When the sun shone directly overhead in Washington, D.C., for example, it was 12:00 noon there; up the road in Philadelphia, 24 , it was 12:07, and in Boston it was 12:24. To measure time with absolute accuracy, it is necessary to move the clock about one minute for every twelve miles of distance; so according to “sun time” your pocket watch would be slightly 25 if you ventured only a few miles down the road.It was not until the advent of widespread railroad travel that a need 26 for 27 time. At one point over 300 local times were honored within the 28 , making it literally impossible for trains to arrive consistently on time 29 . As a result, in 1883 the continental United States was divided into four time longitude. The standardization resulting from this system 30 so helpful that in 1884 the International Meridian Conference applied the same procedure to establish time zones around the world.21.A.areasB.districtsC.zonesD.divisions22.A.usuallyB.neverC.onlyD.rarely23.A.madeB.establishedC.arrangedD.founded24.A.howeverB.thereforeC.meanwhileD.by contrast25.A.differentB.wrongC.incorrectD.mistaken26.A.arrivedB.raisedC.happenedD.arose27.A.regularizedB.organizedC.correctedD.standardized28.A.stateB.countyC.worldD.country29.A.everywhereB.anywhereC.nowhereD.somewhere30.A.was provedB.has been provedC.was provingD.proved答案21. C. 時(shí)區(qū)time zone, 是固定詞組。22. D. 人們習(xí)以為常了，所以很少想到它，選rarely, 經(jīng)常想起、從不想起和只想起它都不合理。23. B. 句意應(yīng)為每個(gè)地區(qū)都確立自己的時(shí)間，只有establish可以表示建立制度。24. A.根據(jù)上下文可判斷出此處為轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比關(guān)系， 而by contrast 表示相反的對(duì)比，所以選however。25. C. 根據(jù)“太陽時(shí)”，只要離開幾英里，表就會(huì)有一些不準(zhǔn)，而不是不同、錯(cuò)誤或誤解。26. D. 需要出現(xiàn)應(yīng)該搭配的動(dòng)詞是arise。27. A. 是需要調(diào)整時(shí)間，而不是使時(shí)間有組織、改變或標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化。28. D. 根據(jù)上下文，是在美國境內(nèi)有300多個(gè)地區(qū)時(shí)。29. A. 根據(jù)文意，火車不可能在每個(gè)地方都準(zhǔn)時(shí)，所以選everywhere, 和impossible 構(gòu)成部分否定。30.

The female have bigger and heavier bodies, 31 they carry the eggs. The bright colors of the male help to attract the female, and the duller colors of the female make them 32 likely to be caught by enemies before they 33 (lay) their eggs. 34 butterflies have a bright pattern colors on the upper surface of their wings which are shown 35 flying. But when they rest on a tree or 36 (leaf) they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown marks 37 look like the tree or leaves.

A technical problem turned a routine (常規(guī)) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target. "During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere," Yi said. "At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too." Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. "In fact, they are the heroes right now," Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. "Im just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero." She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS. "I sang Fly Me to the Moon" Yi said about the 1950s pop song. "Its my favorite song from university although at that time I didnt know I would be an astronaut." The capsules so-called "ballistic" re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere. Whitson told reporters that Saturdays ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency. "The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but Im sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed," she said. In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysias first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem. The Soyuz is the worlds longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961. Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.41. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Flight in space is very dangerous B. Not everybody can go into space C. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronaut D. Yi didnt know she would be an astronaut when she was young42. The reason why Yi Suo-yeon felt afraid at first was that _. A. a fire was caused by the friction B. she had no such experience before C. she was not brave enough D. the other two didnt help her43. From the passage, we can learn that _. A. Yi So-yeon, a space tourist came from South Korea B. Whitson became energetic when they landed on earth C. the two other guys were not afraid during the descent D. the Soyuz, an unmanned space capsule, had a long history44. The underlined phrase in this passage means _. A. out of work B. out of control C. in the wrong direction D. in danger45. We can conclude from this passage that _. A. experience is very important for astronauts to ensure safety B. Yi Suo-yeon will never return to the space station C. people are not willing to experience the space flight D. we should draw a lesson from the accident答案 本文講述Yi Suo-yeon與另外兩名宇航員在太空站11天后返回的不平凡經(jīng)歷。 41. C。主旨大意題。令人恐懼的著陸讓進(jìn)入太空的韓國宇航員經(jīng)受了一次考驗(yàn)。42. B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段推理得出, Yi開始時(shí)恐懼的原因是以前沒有過這種經(jīng)歷。43. C。由“At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay.”判斷得出答案。44.
