语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在人造卫星出现之前,月亮是地球唯一的卫星。人造卫星能在太空中正常运转的原因是它位于大气之上,如果运行高度下降的话,卫星就会掉下来。
1.A.besides B.however
C.though D.therefore
B [上文说月亮是地球唯一的卫星,而下文说后来有了很多别的卫星,所以是转折关系。副词though表示“可是,然而”,放在句中时,其前后没有逗号。however“然而”放在句中时,前后可以有逗号。]
2.A.assumed B.discovered
C.made D.foreseen
C [从下文中的“These manmade satellites...”可知,这些卫星是人造的,也就是“made by man”。]
3.A.through B.round
C.behind D.after
B [联系关键词still“仍然”,再联系上文中的“going round the earth”可知,这些人造卫星仍然会绕着地球转。]
4.A.fall B.rise
C.burst D.pause
A [从下文内容可知,此处是讲述人造卫星不会落下来的原因。]
5.A.decide B.wish
C.plan D.tend
D [当卫星加速时,卫星的运动趋势就是冲入太空。]
6.A.pull B.reach
C.bring D.launch
A [它们会冲出地球,也就是脱离地球引力。pull out意为“冲出,离开”。]
7.A.protects B.prevents
C.keeps D.discourages
B [地球引力的作用是阻止人造卫星冲出地球。]
8.A.in and out B.on and on
C.to and from D.up and down
B [从上文内容可知,如果卫星在一定高度运行,就能持续运转。on and on“一直,持续”,符合文意。]
9.A.because B.how
C.where D.when
A [本句讲述的是卫星正常运转的原因。]
10.A.hand B.pass
C.slow D.bring
C [卫星正常运转的原因就是在大气层之上,没有东西会降低卫星的运行速度,下一句中的“it will be slowed down”是很好的提示。]
11.A.higher B.longer
C.farther D.lower
D [从上文我们知道卫星正常运转,不会落下来就是因为它的运行高度,所以,如果运行高度下降,卫星就不能正常运转。]
12.A.search for B.fall to
C.go after D.knock at
B [从本段我们可以看出,如果运行高度下降的话,卫星就会掉下来。]
13.A.board B.average
C.earth D.end
A [通过把照相机安装在飞船上可以拍照。on board在船(火车、飞机等)上,符合文意。]
14.A.holy B.hidden
C.different D.stable
B [根据常识可知月亮有一面是永远背对着我们的,所以不被我们看到。hidden隐藏的,难以看见的。]
15.A.rocks B.speeches
C.sounds D.photos
D [上文提到了在飞船上安装照相机,所以传回来的是照片。]

参考范文
I,together with my classmate,went to the hill behind our school after class yesterday.To our surprise,we found a UFO.Two aliens stood beside.Different from our imagination,aliens were really short.They didn’t have hair but two long ears.Their puppy eyes made them look cute and kind.They seemed shocked,but we were not scared.We smiled at them and tried to hug them.They smiled back.
Though we don’t understand their language,I think we still could communicate with them.
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I was coming into Middle School,Grade Six,I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School as me! At first things were great,she introduced me to her friend,Amy and we had lots of fun together.Then things started to change.Jennifer was very controlling: I couldn’t make new friends,because if I hung out with different people,she would decide that I was “mad at her and Amy”.So I didn’t make new friends,and pretty soon being Jennifer’s friend became a battle between Amy and me.
Jennifer wanted to be the “leader” of our little group.Amy and I were never partners in class projects or gym;it was always,“Who gets the privilege(荣耀)of being Jennifer’s partner.” It was either Jennifer liked me and she left Amy out or Jennifer liked Amy and she left me out.Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer’s number one.Being Jennifer’s friend became the most important thing in the world.
I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes,so we could walk together to our next class.Amy and Jennifer chatted by Jennifer’s desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door.Sometimes when they left,they’d walk right past me.No “Thanks for waiting”.No “Sorry we took so long”.It was as if they couldn’t even see me.Yet I still waited after every single class.
Most of the time we gossiped(传播流言蜚语)about people,and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer.Jennifer had a list of bad things about everybody,even Amy.And I’m sure she had a list of bad things about me,too.After months of living through school this way,I had really changed.I was moody,depressed,lonely,and I didn’t smile much.I spent lots of days trying not to cry.I felt so left out.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
Finally,near the end of the school year,I got sick of being treated so poorly._________

参考范文
Paragraph 1:
Finally,near the end of the school year,I got sick of being treated so poorly.I was sick of getting into battle for friendship.I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and waiting for her after class.It didn’t take long: Jennifer quickly announced that I was “mad at her”.I said,“I’m not mad,I just think I need to make some more friends.” But with Jennifer it’s all or nothing.If you didn’t worship her,she was convinced you were mad at her.So our friendship fell to pieces.
Paragraph 2:
I’m in Grade Seven now,and I have tons of friends.I’ve found many girls Jennifer classified as “mean” were the sweetest people in the world.We have fun together and I love them all to bits.It amazes me how easy our friendship is.There’s no struggling to be on top—we’re all equal.It doesn’t hurt my feelings or make me feel alone.I wish Jennifer could understand.I still want to be friends with her,but I can’t limit myself to one friendship.It’s better to have ten or twenty friends than just one best friend.
