A

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．

Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．

Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other．

56．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

A．Sending information for weather forecast．

B．Taking photographs of the Earth．

C．Sending TV pictures．

D．Providing food for airplane pilots．

57．What’s the speed the earth rotates at?

A．35,880 kilometers per hour．     B．335,880 kilometers per hour．

C．11,000 kilometers per hour．     D．110,000 kilometers per hour

58．Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?

A．In order to take photographs．

B．In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit．

C．In order to move away from its orbit．

D．In order to send television pictures．

59．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

A．A satellite．   B．A little rocket．

C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky．

D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position．

60．Which is true of satellites?

A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．

B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired．

C．A broken satellite is never left in space．

D．They often crash into each other．

Taste is suc．h a subjective matter that we dori't usually conduct preference tests for food． The most you can say about anyone's preference is that it's one person's opinion．But because the two bigcola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola-are marketed so aggressively, we've wondered how big arole taste-preference actually plays in brand loyalty．We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting．

we inwited staff wolunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke．or Diet Pepsi．These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the oLher brancl．

We eventuallv located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers．Then we fed them with four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other．rOVe asked them to tell us whether each sample wa．s Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices \~-ith what mere guesswork could have accom-plished．

Getting all four samples right was a tough test, biit not too tough, we thought, for people whobelieved they could recognize their brand． In the end, only 7 0ut of 19 regular cola drinkers correct-ly identified their brand of choice in all four trial．s． The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly．

Both groups did better than chance would predict, but nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times．Two people got all'four samples vrrong． Overall, hal．f theparticipants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burn-out, was not a factor． Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price．

71．According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to______

       A．show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guesswork

       B．compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

       C．find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinking

       D．reveal which cola is more to the liking of the dr-inkcrs

72．The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that         

       A．there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi

       B．few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi

       C．people's tastes differ from one another

       D．Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinks

73．It is implied in the first paragraph that______

A．the competition between the two colas is very strong

B．blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans

C．the purpose of taste test is to promote the sale of colas

D．the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies

74．The underlined word "bumout" here refers to the state of           ．

A．being seriously bumt in the skin

B．being badly damaged by fire

C．being unable to bum for lack of fuel

D．being unable to function because of too much use

C．show that taste preference is highly subjective

D．argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy

Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader’s Choice.

The book    11   many types of selections on a wide variety of topics. These selections provide practice on    12    different reading skills to get the  13   of the writer.

E:\zujuan\upload\quesFile\gzyy\2010-05-06\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI00.140\www.canpoint.cn\

Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is   16  when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or when there is not    17    to read something carefully.

When you read to find a    19   date, or number you are scanning. E:\zujuan\upload\quesFile\gzyy\2010-05-06\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI00.140\www.canpoint.cn\

Reading for thorough comprehension is   20    reading in order to understand the total   21   of the passage. At  this level of comprehension the reader is    22    to summarize the author’s ideas but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas. E:\zujuan\upload\quesFile\gzyy\2010-05-06\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI00.140\www.canpoint.cn\

Critical reading demands (需要)that a reader   23   judgments about what he or she reads.
