D
On May 18, 1969, NASA astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Eugene Cernan boarded the Apollo 10 lunar module(登月艙)---the fourth manned mission in the US Apollo Space program and only the second after Apollo 8 to circle the moon. Its mission was to circle the moon and thoroughly test the components and procedures to pave the way for the first lunar landing. The mission went perfectly without incident---at least that's what every one believed.
However, that view has changed since February 22, after NASA released a digital recording of strange music heard by the space travelers. Then as they were re-entering the zone where they could communicate with ground control. One of the astronauts asked if they should report it. In response, Stafford expressed his doubts if anyone would even believe them. But they needn't have worried. When NASA experts listened to the recordings, they thought the strange sounds were radio interference.
Michael Collins---the Apollo 11 pilot---said that the only reason why he was not shocked upon hearing them was that he had been forewarned by NASA officials. Collins also said that the music stopped as soon as the lunar module landed on the moon.
So why did it take NASA over 40 years to release the digital recording of the awful music only after it was featured in a recent television series NASA's Unexplained Files? The US Space Agency says they have not been hiding them. In the press release that accompanies the release of the recording, NASA officials state, “The Apollo 10 audio clips were uploaded in 2012, but the mission's sound recordings have been available at the National Archives for anyone that wanted to hear them since the early 1970s.”
Eugene Cernan. Apollo 10's pilot who heard the sounds first, also released a statement saying, “I don't remember that incident excited me enough to take it seriously. It was probably just radio interference. Had we thought it was something other than that, we would have briefed everyone after the flight. We never gave it another thought.”
While most people are ready to accept this logical explanation, there are some that believe otherwise. They guess the music proves the presence of aliens. Among them is Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden, who thinks the sounds came from a source in outer space. In the episode of NASA’s Unexplained Files, which discusses the origin of the strange music, the astronaut says, “Logic tells me that if there was something recorded on there, then there was something there.”
(1)Apollo 10's mission was to________.
A.take the astronauts to the moon
B.detect alien music in outer space
C.prepare for the landing on the moon
D.move around and observe the moon
(2)When the astronauts heard the sounds, ________.
A.they were excited about the discovery
B.they reported to NASA at once
C.they were heading back to the lunar ground
D.they thought they might be of little importance
(3)According to the passage, ________.
A.the mission of Apollo 10 turned out to be unsuccessful
B.NASA made the TV series to clarify some space-related mysteries
C.Al Worden on Apollo 15 believes in aliens and logic
D.Michael Collins knew about the strange sounds before his flight
(4)What is the main idea of this passage?
A.A TV program was released about NASA’s unexplained files.
B.The music heard by Apollo astronauts could be radio interference.
C.The existence of aliens still remains a question.
D.Apollo astronauts heard strange sounds from outer space.

【答案】

(2)D
(3)D
(4)B
【解析】本文講的是On May 18, 1969,美國宇航員登上月球,發(fā)現(xiàn)竒怪的聲音,認為這竒怪的聲音很可 能是收音機的干擾。
(1)C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句 Its mission was to circle the moon and throughly test the components and procedures to pave the way for the first lunar landing.它的使命是環(huán)繞月球并徹底測試組件和程序,為第一次月 球登陸鋪平道路。故選C。
(2)D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句 When NASA experts listened to the recordings, they thought the strange sounds were radio interference.他們認為這竒怪的聲音是收音機的干擾可知他們認為他們可能沒有什么重 要性。故選D。
(3)D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句 Michael Collins---the Apollo 11 pilot—said that the only reason why he was not shocked upon hearing them was that he had been forewarned by NASA officials. Michael Collins聽到奇怪的聲音并不震驚是因為NASA官員已經(jīng)告訴他了。故選D。
(4)B主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段中It was probably just radio interference.這竒怪的聲音很可能是收音機的干擾。故選B。

【題目】In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁榮). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culturewhich only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.

1Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.

C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.

2The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means_____.

A. those who try their best to win

B. those who value competition most highly

C. those who are against competition most strongly

D. those who rely on others most for success

3What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail”?

A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

4Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

【題目】Choosing the Right Path to Be a "Better" Person

Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement. In the rush to achieve, the idea of being "better" can become lost sometimes.1Here are some tips for you.

Explore your talents.

Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests. So it's often necessary to be patient and try

many things before you find one that suits you.

2For example, people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club, but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be. Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you'll enjoy.

3

No matter how much money you make, you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate. It's important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy. If you're particularly unhappy at your job, consider why.4If you feel your job isn't meaningful, or isn't in line with your values, consider finding another job

Experience something new.

Research has shown that when we're in our comfort zone, we aren't as productive as we are

when we step just beyond it.5Because of that, we may react slowly to our own positive

experiences and interactions with others, even when those are little scary. Doing so can help you

achieve more.

A. Do what you love.

B. Devote yourself to your job.

C. Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.

D. It's possible that some changes may change your feeling.

E. Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.

F. Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.

G. You may wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way.
