Our present aerospace companies are gradually disappearing as private space concerns are being born every day. I'm going to discuss three space­based businesses that are sure to soon influence us all.First we have to make space travel cheaply and safely. Engine design is the main challenge. To make money in space, the cost of space travel will have to diminish. This problem will be the most difficult to solve. Liquid fueled rockets are the only way to get out of Earth's orbit. Finding new ways to power the flight to space is also another big challenge.Finding the key to cheap space travel might be the biggest story of our times. There are a lot of great minds working on this problem. And companies are pouring money into research and development. In the next few years we'll see the first sub­orbital tourist. And not long after that we should really start to see new and exciting things as competition heats up.Spacecraft design and production will naturally follow rocket technology. All sorts of crafts will be needed for the wide uses they'll be tasked with. Several companies in the United States have already made small, low­cost test vehicles.Resources in space will provide great mining profits to those who can afford the cost of setting up such a huge operation. Can you imagine finding a huge asteroid(小行星) of pure gold? The benefit to mankind is limitless. Mining on other planets, like Mars, also adds CO2 into the very thin atmosphere. Over time this can lead to the formation of an atmosphere similar to Earth's.Space is going to offer us untold opportunity and wealth. But this is only going to occur if wealthy investors step forward and fund the first steps forward. It is certain that technology will take us to worlds we could never have imagined.36The passage is mainly about _Athe future of space travelBthe cost of space travel in the futureCthe development of spacecraftsDcheap travel in the future37The underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _Ago down Bbreak outCrise up Dset off38What should be done first to make travel in space cheap and safe?AA direct route from Earth to other stars should be found.BSome new kinds of fuel should be used in the rockets.CNew material should be used to build the rockets.DNew rocket engines should be designed.39According to the passage mining on other planets might help _Aincrease the travel benefits thereBform the atmosphere like Earth's thereCbring some new species thereDcreate more job opportunities there40According to the passage, the space­based businesses are _Alikely BimaginaryCunbelievable Dvaluable课时作业(四).1.C考查固定句型。It occurs/occurred to sb. that是固定句型，意思是：突然想起，其中that引导主语从句，选C。2D考查数词的用法。two score of eggs“四十个蛋”，score常与of连用。3CIt is/was said that sb.sb.is/was said to do 而且本句的动作强调在老师进来时已经完成了作业，所以用不定式的完成式。4C根据语境“他善于编笑话”判断该空用表示“编造”之意的making up。show up意为“出现，露面”，不合语境。5. C由第一空后接名词the efforts可判断该空需用介词，排除A、D两项，因为because后应接从句，而as a consequence后应接of sth.。根据be about to不能与具体的时间状语搭配，排除B项，故选C。C项的第二空中due为形容词，意为“预期的”。6C考查动词的时态。答句意思是：事实上我一直吃得很多。强调动作的持续性，用现在完成进行时，选C。7D考查动词的时态。根据时间状语over the past decade判断本句应使用现在完成时态。see在此处可意为“见证”。8B考查动词的时态。It/This/That is/wasthe first timethat主语have done/had done。9B根据句中since the 1880s可推断此处用完成时态，排除D；exist无被动语态，排除C；come into existence为短暂性动词短语，排除A。10D考查倒装句。为了表达生动，有时表地点、方位的副词或介词短语放在句首时引起完全倒装。故选D。11C句意：约翰将所有的人都叫出厨房，其目的是为宴会准备惊喜。故选so that引导目的状语从句。12AWhen askedWhen the man was asked，前后主语一致，可改为分词短语作状语。tired作the man的状语。only to find是结果状语，表示“(出乎意料地)发现”。若用only finding则表示“(在意料之中地)发现”。13A考查现在分词及belong to的用法。句中“_ to Sarah”为分词短语作后置定语，与其逻辑主语The book为主动关系，故用现在分词形式，排除B、C；第二空在句中作谓语，又根据belong to无被动语态形式，排除D，即正确答案为A。14B考查代词的用法。句意：“需要什么帮助吗？”“我想为我父亲的生日买一个价钱合理，而且很实用的礼物。”空格处与前句中的a present构成同位关系，所以选择B项。15C考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语是the match，非谓语动词与逻辑主语是被动关系，故用过去分词，故选C。.作者偶然翻开卡片，思绪回到从前，恩情永生难忘，世界如此温暖。一张卡片，一位好人，一段美好的人生回忆。16C作者看到这张卡片后，把它“翻过来”去看卡片背面的内容。turn over表示“翻转”。17C在卡片的背面，有草草的手写的“信息”，字都褪色了。message一般指口头传递的或书写的信息，是可数名词。D项通常指消息、情报、资料等，是不可数名词，故排除。18D看到卡片上的内容，作者的思绪立刻“回”到了多年以前。19A根据第二段最后一句中的“magazines”可知作者当时背着一包“杂志”。20B作者当天转了几圈后，最终来到了那家公司。21DMr.Rader总是把作者带到那里，“询问”他的员工是否想购买作者的杂志。22D作者像一只落汤鸡一样“抖落”身上的雨水，走进了他的办公室。shake off“抖掉，甩掉”，符合语境。23B他匆匆地看了一眼，发觉作者的窘况后，把作者“领”到壁炉旁。24A本段的后半部分提到他为作者购买了一双新鞋，由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞”。25B参见上题解析。26A他们将车“停”在一家鞋店前。pull up“停车，停止”，符合题意。后三项分别表示“理解，吸收”、“开走”、“走近”，都不符合语境。27B售货员给作者挑选了一双非常合适的鞋，此处fit用作动词，意为“使适合”。28C这是作者“曾经”见到过的最好的一双牛津鞋。29D作者穿上这双鞋站起来后，感觉自己大约有十英尺那么高，in them表示的是in the shoes。30C文章第一段提到作者看到那张“卡片”后，思绪回到了从前，此处与之相呼应。31A根据本句后半部分中的“do to you”可知此空应用Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲，勿施于人”。32B他亲切地说：“吉米，我想让你知道我爱你。”33A作者第一次“感觉到”希望的闪现，不管怎样，事情总会好起来的。34C根据上文叙述的Mr.Rader帮助作者推销杂志以及给作者买鞋等可知他是一个非常善良的人。35D世界上有了像Mr.Rader这样的人，就有了希望、善良和关爱，世界也会因此而不同。make a difference表示“有影响，起作用”。前三项分别表示“交易”、“财富”、“选择”，显然有悖文意。.36.A主旨大意题。本文首先指出未来有必要降低太空旅行的成本，然后谈到太空旅行的设计及生产技术，最后谈到太空资源的意义，由此推断全文是围绕太空旅行来展开说明的，故选A。37A词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句可判断，为了在太空方面赚钱，必须减少太空旅行的费用，即太空旅行的成本必须降低，故选A。38D细节理解题。根据第二段“Engine design is the main challenge.”可推断要降低太空旅行的成本，设计出新型的引擎是首要的，故选D。39B细节理解题。根据第五段“Over time this can lead to the formation of an atmosphere similar to Earth's.”可判断选B。40A推理判断题。根据全文最后一句“It is certain that technology will take us to worlds we could never have imagined.”可判断选A。6
