六、阅读理解
Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet. They carried out their own research projects, as NASA researchers watched to see whether they would develop cabin fever (幽闭烦躁症), a feeling of upset and impatience when people have been inside for too long. The mission is in the hope of better understanding life on Mars.
For the mission, surfing, fresh air and sunshine were all off the menu. During the eight months, the scientists had to live together in just 1, 300 square feet of living space, built on the side of the Mauna Loa (a volcano). Whenever they wanted to take a short walk outside their “house”, they had to put on a 40-pound spacesuit. As if to make things even tougher, showers were limited to eight minutes each week.
Perhaps it should not be overly surprising that with the six having now completed their mission, they said re-entering the outside world was “a big joy”.
One possible reason why the six survived could be found in their blogs. The mission commander, Ms Lenio, said she learnt to play an instrument and improved her French. Another scientist, Sophie Milam, excitedly posted a model boat made out of sticks by herself.
But it wasn’t all fun. About halfway through the mission, bad weather left them unable to use their solar-powered batteries. They had to gather closely together for warmth and limit energy use to just the important systems. Ms Lenio said, “If we had really been on Mars, that would have been life or death.”
Luckily, it did seem that the scientists had succeeded in avoiding cabin fever—Ms Lenio referred to her partners as “lovely people”.
1.Why does the author mention a trip to Hawaii in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the special mission. B.To describe the easy life of scientists.
C.To tell us Hawaii is popular among visitors. D.To show Hawaii is a perfect place to do research.
2.What can we learn from the scientists’ blogs?
A.Life on “Mars” was always colorful. B.They did what they liked to kill time.
C.They were hopeless during the mission. D.They learned something from each other.
3.What do Ms Lenio’s words in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.They wouldn’t meet the problem on Mars.
B.The result would have been more serious on Mars.
C.Ms Lenio felt lucky to survive the mission.
D.The mission was actually meaningless.
4.What may be the best title of the text?
A.Scientists prove living on Mars is possible
B.Scientists learn a lot during their trip to Mars
C.Six scientists’ trip to Hawaii simulates a mission to Mars
D.Six scientists successfully complete their mission on Mars
七、七选五

1.A 2.B 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是六名科学家在夏威夷冒纳罗亚火山边一个与世隔绝、靠太阳能电池供电的“船舱”里生活了八个月,完成了夏威夷太空探索仿真模拟实验。
1.推理判断题。根据首段中的“Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet.(六名科学家得到了一些好消息:他们将获得为期八个月的免费夏威夷之旅。只有一个小困难:他们将在类似火星的条件下生活8个月,以模拟前往火星的任务。)”可知,作者以六名科学家去夏威夷度过为期八个月的“假期”为话题,引出了此次在夏威夷冒纳罗亚火山边进行的模拟火星生活的实验。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One possible reason why the six survived could be found in their blogs.(这六人幸存下来的一个可能原因可以从他们的博客中找到。)”以及下文举例的两位科学家所做的事情可知,通过科学家的博客中可以了解到科学家们通过做自己爱好的事来打发时间,度过了为期八个月的“与世隔绝”的生活。故选B项。
3.词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“About halfway through the mission, bad weather left them unable to use their solar-powered batteries. They had to gather closely together for warmth and limit energy use to just the important systems. Ms Lenio said, ‘If we had really been on Mars, that would have been life or death.’(大约在任务进行到一半时,恶劣的天气使他们无法使用太阳能电池。它们必须紧密地聚集在一起取暖,并将能源的使用限制在重要的系统上。莱尼奥女士说:“如果我们真的在火星上,那将是生死攸关的时刻。”)”可知,科学家们在此次实验中遭遇了恶劣天气导致的太阳能电池电量不足且生活面临困难的事,由此可知,Ms Lenio所说的“如果我们真的在火星上,那将是生死攸关的时刻。”表明了在真实的火星环境中结果可能会更严重。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet.(六名科学家得到了一些好消息:他们将获得为期八个月的免费夏威夷之旅。只有一个小困难:他们将在类似火星的条件下生活8个月,以模拟前往火星的任务。)”以及下文中介绍的这六位科学家在模拟火星任务重的情况介绍可知,本文主要介绍的是六位科学家在夏威夷进行的特殊任务——模拟火星生活,由此可知,C项“六名科学家的夏威夷之旅模拟了一次火星任务”与本文内容吻合,概括了本文的主题,所以是最合适的文章标题。故选C项。
七、七选五
Being a Volunteer
5.E 6.G 7.F 8.C 9.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了做志愿者的好处。
5.根据空前的“However, many people may not like to do that for they think it helpless and troublesome. In fact it’s not true.(然而,许多人可能不喜欢这样做,因为他们认为这是无助和麻烦的。事实上,这是不正确的)”及下文具体讲述了做志愿者的好处可知,空处应是讲做志愿者有好处,引出下文,E项“以下是志愿服务的一些有意义的好处”符合语境。故选E。
6.根据本段第一句“When you volunteer to help others, you are helping yourself.(当你自愿帮助别人时,你就是在帮助自己)”可知,帮助他人也就是帮助自己,故空处应该是讲帮助他人对自己的好处。G项“如果你心烦意乱,做点什么是让自己冷静下来的好方法”符合语境。故选G。
7.根据前一句的设问“So where do you start?(所以你从哪里开始?)”可知,空处是对前一句的回答,结合空后的“Ask a teacher for ideas.(向老师请教)”可知,F项“如果你在寻找想法,学校是一个很好的开始”符合语境,故选F。
8.根据本段中“Volunteering gives kids a taste of responsibility. Volunteering can also help kids learn important things about themselves — like what kind of things they’re best at. A voluntary job can even help some kids decide what they want to do when they grow up.(志愿服务让孩子们尝到了责任的滋味。志愿服务还可以帮助孩子们了解自己的重要事情,比如他们最擅长什么。一份志愿工作甚至可以帮助一些孩子决定他们长大后想做什么)”可知,本段主要讲述做志愿者对于孩子的好处,故C项“一次教育你孩子的机会”符合语境。故选C。
9.根据本段最后一句“Make a plan to start volunteering today!(制定一个计划,从今天开始做志愿者!)”可推知,空处应是呼吁大家不要再等待,要积极参加志愿者活动,B项“所以你还在等什么呢”符合语境。故选B。

1.推理判断题。根据首段中的“Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet.(六名科学家得到了一些好消息:他们将获得为期八个月的免费夏威夷之旅。只有一个小困难:他们将在类似火星的条件下生活8个月,以模拟前往火星的任务。)”可知,作者以六名科学家去夏威夷度过为期八个月的“假期”为话题,引出了此次在夏威夷冒纳罗亚火山边进行的模拟火星生活的实验。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One possible reason why the six survived could be found in their blogs.(这六人幸存下来的一个可能原因可以从他们的博客中找到。)”以及下文举例的两位科学家所做的事情可知,通过科学家的博客中可以了解到科学家们通过做自己爱好的事来打发时间,度过了为期八个月的“与世隔绝”的生活。故选B项。
3.词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“About halfway through the mission, bad weather left them unable to use their solar-powered batteries. They had to gather closely together for warmth and limit energy use to just the important systems. Ms Lenio said, ‘If we had really been on Mars, that would have been life or death.’(大约在任务进行到一半时,恶劣的天气使他们无法使用太阳能电池。它们必须紧密地聚集在一起取暖,并将能源的使用限制在重要的系统上。莱尼奥女士说:“如果我们真的在火星上,那将是生死攸关的时刻。”)”可知,科学家们在此次实验中遭遇了恶劣天气导致的太阳能电池电量不足且生活面临困难的事,由此可知,Ms Lenio所说的“如果我们真的在火星上,那将是生死攸关的时刻。”表明了在真实的火星环境中结果可能会更严重。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet.(六名科学家得到了一些好消息:他们将获得为期八个月的免费夏威夷之旅。只有一个小困难:他们将在类似火星的条件下生活8个月,以模拟前往火星的任务。)”以及下文中介绍的这六位科学家在模拟火星任务重的情况介绍可知,本文主要介绍的是六位科学家在夏威夷进行的特殊任务——模拟火星生活,由此可知,C项“六名科学家的夏威夷之旅模拟了一次火星任务”与本文内容吻合,概括了本文的主题,所以是最合适的文章标题。故选C项。
