And this stands to reason, if youre paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential theres go

22、ing to be a need for orbital accommodation-or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel-private rooms, meals, bars. But theyll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views-of Earth and space-and the endles

23、s entertainment of living in zero gravity-including sports and other activities that make use of this. The hotels themselves will vary greatly-from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. Its actually surprising that as late as 1997, very few designs for space

24、hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them havent expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people whove been to space have described vividly what its like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possi

25、bilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you dont need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so youll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below. Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And

26、 so after a few days youll find yourself heading back though youll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. Youll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.46. When tra

27、veling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _.A. It is expensive to travel in space B. they would find the possible life in other star systems C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels D. they want to realise the full potential of tourism47. Which of the foll

28、owing is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A. The gravitational pull B. The special views.C. The relaxation in a bar. D. The space walk.48. Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?A. When was the space traveling made possible? B. What are the unique experiences that spa

29、ce hotels will offer?C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?49. This passage is mainly about _.A. traveling in space B. the ways of living in space hotelsC. zero gravity and space hotels D. the description of space hote

30、ls BWhile all my classmates seem to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星), Id rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People wont have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey wont be

31、 safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?Steve Minear, UKHere are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and gloryFor scien

32、tists there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.Donal Trollop, CanadaThere are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony(殖民地)on Mars. It will happen when p

33、eople finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space flight is in the launches(發(fā)射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settle

34、ment on another world.Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will be sent to the new colony. Mars has all the materails for a colony to produce or make everything it needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.Paul D

35、avies,USA50. The main purpose of Steve Minears writing is .A. to report his classmates discussion B. to invite an answer to his questionC. to explain the natural state of Mars D. to show his agreement on going to Mars51. Which of the following best states Donal Trollops idea?A. There is a plan to se

36、nd humans to Mars. B. There are many reasons for going to Mars.C. Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars.D. It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars.52. Paul Davies points out that .A. humans need only a one-way ticket to Mars. B. two-way trips to Mars will be made safe

37、soonC. it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to MarsD. it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars53. What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars?A. Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth.B. Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living

38、.C. Humans can produce everything they need. D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars. CBeing able to multitaskdoing several things at the same timeis considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think a

39、gain.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(電子產(chǎn)品)as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of t

40、ime in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter

41、the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also affects young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具)on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response(反應). However, the respon

42、se from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young pe

43、ople entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.54. What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Want to buy B. Take the place of.C. Use at the same time D. Seek

44、 for information from.55.

What is the main idea of the last par

45、agraph?A. Multitasking is harmful to young peoples development.B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgetsC. Multitasking is an important skill to young people. D. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.57. The author develops the passage mainly by .A. providing typical examples B. fol

46、lowing the natural time orderC. comparing opinions from different fields D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects DSeeing a volcano erupt (噴發(fā)) is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit(山頂) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every

47、day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you

48、come to Antigua, you wont miss the Pacaya-tour companies. But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming,

49、hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit; the McKenney Cone(火山錐). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.Many tours are timed so that you ar

50、rive at the cone of the volcano is plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔巖) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up

51、 to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down . 58. What is the main purpose of this passage

52、?A. To attract tourists to Pacaya. B. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.C. To introduce guided tours to Pacaya. D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.59. Antigua is a city .A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals B. where the daring Pacaya tour startsC. that gives a close-up view of Paray

53、D. that is famous for its tour companies 60.

Many tours are timed for people to .A. get down the mountain in time when
