    China’s second manned（人造的） space flight will be done by two astronauts（宇航员） over five days in 2005. “Shenzhou-VI will be sent into space sometime in 2005,” said Zuo Saichun, a spokesperson of the China Aerospace Science and Technology (CAST). “The spacecraft（宇宙飞船） will make new breakthroughs（突破性进展） in China’s manned space technology.”
    Unlike Shenzhou-V, a little more than a year ago (in October, 2003), the next flight will see two astronauts fly in space for five days. Their capsule (太空舱) is designed to be capable（能够）of orbiting（绕轨道运行） for a whole week, the spokesperson said. “For the first time, astronauts will enter and live in the orbital module（舱） of the spacecraft to do scientific experiments,” said a statement from CAST. CAST did not say what those experiments will be.
    In Shenzhou-VI, scientists have changed the spacecraft’s configuration (构形) to reduce its weight, and tried to improve the performance of on-board equipment. They have also worked to make sure of the energy supply of the spacecraft and further improve its safety. So far, scientists have worked out ways to solve problems on environmental control and life support. Shenzhou-VI will be sent into orbit atop（在……顶上） a Long March 2F rocket.
    Meanwhile, a model of the Chang’e-1 satellite is expected to be sent to orbit the moon in two years. The satellite, part of the three-stage programme, would be followed by the landing of an unmanned vehicle on the moon in the second stage by 2010 and collecting samples（样品） of lunar soil by 2020 in the final stage, according to Sun Laiyan, director of the China National Space Administration.
    小题1:. Which of the following about Shenzhou-VI is NOT true?

    NEW YORK (AP) — In a report, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 47 percent of U.S. adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine.
    That is more than twice the 22 percent of users who did in 2002, but Pew senior research specialist Mary Madden was surprised that the growth wasn’t higher than it had been expected.
    　　“Yes it’s doubled, but it’s still the case that there’s a big chunk of Internet users who have never done this simple act of connecting their names with search engines,” she said. “Certainly more and more people have become aware of this, but I don’t know it’s necessarily kept pace with the amount of content we post about ourselves or what others post about us.”
    About 60 percent of Internet users said they aren’t worried about the extent of information about themselves online, although they are increasingly concerned over how that data can be used.
    Americans under 50 and those with more education and income were more likely to self-Google---in some cases because their jobs demand a certain online persona(形象).
    Meanwhile, Pew found that 53 percent of adult Internet users admit to looking up information about someone else, famous people not included.
    　　Often, it’s to find someone they’ve lost touch with. But looking up information about friends, relatives, colleagues and neighbors also was common.
    Although men and women equally searched for online information about themselves, women were slightly more likely to look up information about someone they are dating.
    　　In many cases, the search is not harmful, done to find someone’s contact information. But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records, such as bankruptcies(破产) and divorce proceedings. A similar number have searched for someone else’s photo.
    　　Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to limit the range of people who can see their information at an online hangout like Facebook or News Corp.’s MySpace, contrary to conventional wisdom.
    　　“Teens are more comfortable with the applications in some ways, (but) I also think they have their parents and teachers telling them to be very careful about what they post and who they share it with,” Madden said.
    小题1: Mary Madden was surprised at the result that ______.
    A．fewer and fewer adult Internet users are looking for information about themselves
    B．the number of adult Internet users looking for information about themselves has doubled
    C．more adult Internet users should have looked for information about themselves
    D．so many people don’t know how to connect their names with search engines
    小题2:According to the report some people haven’t looked for information about themselves because ______.
    A．they are not rich enough to get a computer
    B．they are not well educated
    C．they don’t know they can look for their own information on the Internet
    D．they think it unnecessary to look for their own information on the Internet
    小题3: Which group of people are more likely to look for their own information on the Internet?
          
    A．Teens.B．Women.C．The old.D．The educated.
    小题4:People look for others’ information on the Internet mainly to ______.
    A．see what they are doingB．find someone they have lost touch with
    C．have a look at their photosD．know their personal affairs

    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
    This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
    Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
    Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
    Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
    “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
    At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
    小题1:This year ________teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
    A．twenty-three hundred
    B．thirteen hundred
    C．over three thousand
    D．less than two thousand
    小题2:The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.
    A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America
    B．send students in America to travel in Germany
    C．let students learn something about other countries
    D．have teenagers learn new languages
    小题3:Fred and Mike agree that__________.
    A．America food tasted better than German food
    B．German schools were harder than American schools
    C．Americans and Germans were both friendly
    D．There were more cars on the streets in America
    小题4:What is particular in American schools is that________.
    A．there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
    B．there are a lot of after-school activities
    C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all
    D．students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

    Wednesday, October 29,2008.
    The United States federal government had two young men in the state of Tennessee arrested on October 22 on unknown charges.
    In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African – American school and killing 14 of them.
    Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to their affidavits (口供), the suspects’ “final act of violence” would be like this: when they attacked Obama they would wear white suits and top hats and drive “their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows.”
    The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Arkansas and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee. According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through a friend. Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share “very strong views” about White Power.
    Schlesselman listed “being racist” as his occupation on his MySpace page. He further wrote: “I'm white. I'm proud. I get angry. I like guns.”
    Cowart also had a MySpace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of “My Guns”. On his page he wrote, “Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever begging on your knees.”
    Some have questioned the pair's ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party.
    “We honestly don't know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked about.” said Malcolm Wiley, of the United Satates Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times. “But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is.”
    Cowart and Schlesselman are scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursady.
    小题1:The passage is mainly about____________.
    A．Americans’ attitudes towards Barack ObarmaB．two young men planning to commit violence

    c．Cowart set up his MySpace page on the Internet.
    d．Malcolm Wiley was interviewed by The New York Times.
    A．a; b; c; dB．d; c; b; aC．c; a; d; bD．c; a; b; d

    B．The two young men planned to shoot President Barack Obama.
    C．The two young men were innocent in fact.

    Houston, Texas (June 8. 2002)–in 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will send two robots to separate places of Mars to seek out past or present signs of water. It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill.
    Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes well, the two spacecraft will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and –a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004.
    The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills. Although they will be under control from the earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.
    The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.
    49.According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _____.
    A.find out whether there is water on Mars   B.see if robots can find minerals there  
    C.test how fast robots can drive there                 D.prove that robots can work on Mars
    50.How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?
    A.1 year       B. 7.5 months                  C. 2 months       D. 2 weeks
    51. One of the important jobs for the robots on Mars is to _______.
    A.study the soil                                     B. walk everywhere
    C.test the new camera                                D. find a suitable landing point
    52. We can infer from the last sentence that scientists ________.
    A. have changed the landing points many times  B. hope to land the robots on the surface of water
    C. are still working on the plan                      D. know where they can find water
