Ⅰ.阅读理解
Animals were the real pioneers of space flight. Let us learn about some animals that have been to space.
A.Fruit flies
On February 20, 1947, the United States sent some fruit flies into space to study the impact that cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) might potentially have on astronauts in the future. They chose flies because they are genetically similar to humans.
When they returned to Earth, the scientists found the flies alive, with no evidence of the effects of radiation.
B.Mice
Mice have long been used to find out more about how space travel will affect the human body. In fact, NASA has recently published a study of mice housed at the International Space Station. It shows that mice quickly adapt to microgravity (微重力) conditions.
The very first mouse went into space in 1950, reaching an altitude of 137 km. However, unlike the fruit flies, the mouse died when the rocket broke into parts due to a parachute (降落伞) failure.
C.Dogs
Laika, a Russian homeless dog, went to space on November 3, 1957. She was picked up on the streets and was thought suitable because she had a gentle temperament (性情) and behaved well. The scientists also believed a homeless dog would be better at dealing with difficult conditions like microgravity than a pet dog.
Laika is famous for being the first animal to orbit (环绕……运行) the Earth. However, she never returned.
D.Spiders
In 1973, two garden spiders called Anita and Arabella were used in an experiment to see if they could still build webs in space.
Both spiders managed to build webs, even though the webs were slightly finer than on Earth. The study showed a great deal about the effects of microgravity on motor response (运动反应).
1.What can we learn about the mouse astronaut?
A.It failed to come back alive.
B.It couldn't survive in microgravity conditions.
C.Its genes were similar to humans'.
D.It was the first animal to be sent to space.
2.Laika was chosen by the scientists for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________.
A.her good temperament
B.her identity as a pet dog
C.her ability to deal with microgravity
D.her good behavior
3.What's the purpose of sending the two spiders to space?
A.To compare the quality of webs they made on Earth and in space.
B.To study the impact of cosmic radiation on their survival.
C.To see how fast they could build webs in space.
D.To see whether they could build webs in space.

Ⅰ.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了动物在太空探索中的历史和作用。
1.A 细节理解题。根据B.Mice部分中“However, unlike the fruit flies, the mouse died when the rocket broke into parts due to a parachute (降落伞) failure.(然而,与果蝇不同的是,当火箭因降落伞故障而破裂时,老鼠就死了。)”可知,老鼠宇航员没能活着返回。故选A。
2.B 细节理解题。根据C.Dogs部分中“She was picked up on the streets and was thought suitable because she had a gentle temperament (性情) and behaved well. The scientists also believed a homeless dog would be better at dealing with difficult conditions like microgravity than a pet dog.(她是在街上捡来的,因为她性情温和,表现得很好,所以被认为很合适。科学家们还认为,流浪狗比宠物狗更能适应微重力等恶劣环境。)”可知,流浪狗Laika被选中有三个原因:性情温和、表现得很好、更能适应微重力等恶劣环境。B项中的“她的宠物狗身份”是一错误表述。故选B。
3.D 细节理解题。根据D.Spiders部分中“In 1973, two garden spiders called Anita and Arabella were used in an experiment to see if they could still build webs in space.(1973年,两只名叫安妮塔和阿拉贝拉的花园蜘蛛被用于一项实验,看看它们是否还能在太空中织网。)”可知,把两只蜘蛛送上太空的目的是为了看它们能否在太空中织网。故选D。
Ⅱ.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在花园里被人用箭射中了右颈,去医院检查后发现这支箭射在了颈动脉和颈静脉之间,不会造成生命危险。医生在检查中还发现作者患上了脑瘤,但由于发现比较早,所以手术很成功。这支箭救了作者一命,作者意识到有的时候厄运可能是伪装的馈赠。
1.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:“我”去了“我”的后院,在“我”的花园里做了一些工作。A.kitchen厨房;B.backyard后院;C.bedroom卧室;D.garage车库。根据句中的“did some work in my flower garden”可知,作者去了后院的花园。故选B。

8.D 考查名词词义辨析。句意:很快,他们带“我”去做了CT扫描,以确定箭头的位置。A.damage伤害;B.appearance 外表;C.length长度;D.location地点,位置。根据句中的“they took me for a CT scan(扫描)”和下文中的“The arrow had gone between the carotid artery(颈动脉) and the jugular vein(颈静脉).(箭射中了颈动脉和颈静脉之间。)”可知,做CT扫描是为了确定箭头的位置。故选D。

15.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意:厄运可能是伪装的礼物。A.honor荣耀;B.enemy敌人;C.gift礼物;D.injury 受伤。根据空前的“Bad luck may be”和空后的“in disguise(伪装)”并结合上文可知,作者因为中箭受伤而无意中发现了脑瘤,结果箭头没有伤及要害,脑瘤也得到了及时手术,作者看似很倒霉,其实因祸得福,因此她觉得厄运可能是伪装的礼物。故选C。
