B．Typical.C．Realistic. D．Controversial.A[推理判斷題。根據(jù)Oren說的話“I'mtoomuchofanoptimisttogetalotofpleasureoutofreadingsuchstories.”可知，他從這些科幻小說中獲得了很多樂趣。]4．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“intimidated”mean?A．Comforted. B．Astonished.C．Threatened D．Disappointed.C[詞義猜測(cè)題。雖然Oren說到一些科幻小說描述了未來世界將會(huì)變得很糟，但是目前機(jī)器人并沒有那么智能，不會(huì)威脅到我們的生活。]BInaninterview，NaveenJain，founderofaspaceexplorationcompanycalledMoonExpress，saysthathebelievesmoontravelisjustadecadeaway.Andhiscompany，whichisthefirstprivatefirmtogetapprovalfromtheU．S.governmenttocarryouttheprojectofmoontravel，wantstoplayaroleinhelpingpeoplegettothemoonsurface.Manypeopleinthetechnologicalandscientificcommunitiesarecrazy，bigandsmall，aredetermininghowtheycancreatetechnologiesthatwillallowpeopletoexplorespace，themoon，andevenMars.Othercompaniesarefindingwaystoplayaroleinspacetravel.Thekeyofthatgoldrushhasbeenthedecliningcostofactuallygettingtospace.Jainsaysthatwhileitoncecostsbillionsofdollarstogotothemoon，hiscompany'sunmannedspaceflightnextyearwillcostjust$7million.Ascostscontinuetodecline(減少)，hebelievesthatwithinthenextdecade，gettingtothemoonwillcostjust$10，000.Betteryet，it'lltakejustfourhourstogetthere.Still，Marsisthefinalprize．AndevenJain，whosecompanywillfocusonmoontravel，saysthat“Marsiscertainlythefinaldestination”．Whenaskedifhe'dliketostagespacefightstoMars，Jainsays“ofcourse”，addingthathebelievesMoonExpresscouldpartnerwithElonMusk'sSpaceXtomakethathappen.“Elonwillbuildtherocketandwewilldothetravellers.”Jainsays.“Generally，hewilllaythecablesandwewilldothelastmile.”SpaceXandMuskhavenotsaidwhethertheywillworkalongsideJainandMoonExpress.Eitherway，itlookslikehoppingfromthemoontoMars(andback)mightbejustapartofourlives.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】文章主要講述了隨著科技的發(fā)展，越來越多的公司和個(gè)人對(duì)太空探索感興趣。更有人預(yù)測(cè)，在未來10年內(nèi)月球之旅將實(shí)現(xiàn)，而且花費(fèi)的費(fèi)用和時(shí)間都會(huì)更少，甚至去火星也可能成為現(xiàn)實(shí)，成為人們生活的一部分。5．Whatdoestheauthormeanbysaying“Marsisthefinalprize”？A．Marsisthefinaldestinationdifficultbutvaluabletoreach.B．Marsisthefinaldestinationexpensivebuteasytoreach.C．Marsisthefirstdestinationtochooseforspacetravellers.D．Marsisthelastdestinationtochooseforspacetravellers.A[句義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段可知，Jain的公司將致力于月球之旅，就連他都說“火星肯定是最終要去的地方”。由此判斷出，畫線部分的意思是上火星雖然難，但它是終極目標(biāo)。如果能上去，那就相當(dāng)于獲得了終極大獎(jiǎng)，值得嘗試。]6．Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?A．MoonExpressiscertainlyanidealpartnerforSpaceX.B．SpaceXhasn'tdecidedtocooperatewithMoonExpress.C．MoonExpressandSpaceXusedtobeclosepartners.D．SpaceXhasbeensuccessfulinmoontravelexploration.B[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“SpaceXandMuskhavenotsaidwhethertheywillworkalongsideJainandMoonExpress”可知，SpaceX還沒有決定是否要和MoonExpress合作。]7．Whichsectionofnewspaperisthepassagetakenfrompossibly?A．Entertainment. B．Education.C．Technology. D．Literature.C[推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容，尤其第一段和第二段的內(nèi)容可知，這篇文章主要講述了隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)展，越來越多的公司和個(gè)人對(duì)太空探索感興趣。由此推測(cè)，這篇文章很有可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙的科技版塊。]Ⅱ.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。Iwentuptotheroofforabreakafterstudyingforanhourandwatchedthe50orsopeopleswimminginthenaturalrockpoolbelowourhouse.Itwasasunnyday—ablue,cloudlessskyoveracalmsea.Butthen,asIlookedinthedistance,Idiscoveredaseriesofthreeorfourbigwavesheadingtowardstheshore.I'dseenthesemini-tsunamis(海嘯)manytimesbefore.Theywereheadingatspeedinthedirectionofthepool.Mostpeopleknewhowtolookoutforthem,butfromthescreamsthatstartedcomingfromthebeach,Icouldtellsomeonewasintrouble.Withoutthinking,Irandownintothestreet,holdingmybodyboard(俯伏沖浪板)ontheway,andshoutedatastrangertogoinsidemyhouseandcallthecoastguard.MyneighbourMoiseshadheardthescreamingaswellandwasalsooutsidewithhisbodyboard,sotogetherwerushedtothestepsthatleddowntothesea.Oncewegotcloser,wediscoveredthewaveshadpulledaboyandagirlfromthepoolandintotheopensea.Iknewthatthenearestboatwouldtakeatleast30minutestoreachus.Waitingforhelpwasn'tachoice.Iwasn'tusedtothissortofemergency—I'dneverbeentrainedasalifeguard—butIdidn'tthinktwiceabouttryingtosavethem.IsupposedinawayIwantedtoimpresseveryone:at19,adeallikethatcanseemlikeagoodopportunitytoshowoff.MoisesandIdivedintothewaterandittookus10minutestogettothem.Whenwefinallyreachedthem,theywerealmostlifelesswithonlytheirheadscominginandoutofthewater.Wecouldtelltheywerestillalivefromtheirsmallbreathsbutitwascleartheywouldn'thavebeenabletostaytheremuchlonger.Iheldtheboyandpulledhimovermyboard.Moisesmovedthegirlontohisboard.Wediscussedpushingthembacktotheshore,butweweretoofarout.注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；2．請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。Wehadtowait，Thatnight,wordcamefromthehospitalthatthetwopeoplewereingoodcondition.[參考范文]Wehadtowait,eagerlyhopingforthe
