三、 阅读理解
21.
Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from “Lost in Space”，but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Apart from the Earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Besides, there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don't require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.
Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.
44．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Robots are used in space exploration
B．The discovery of space exploration
C．No robots, no space exploration
D．The development of robots
45．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
B．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
C．It is dangerous for human to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the Earth.
D．Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
46．The underlined word “withstand” most probably means“________”．
A．bear         B．remain         C．defeat         D．develop
47．What is the writer's attitude in this passage? _______.
A．Negative      B．Persuasive      C．Subjective      D．Objective
参考答案：
44．A  45．B  46．A  47．D
44．A 标题归纳题。文章开篇点题，指出了文章的主题是利用机器人进行太空探索，下文围绕该主题分别从四个方面展开论述，故选A。
45．B 细节理解题。由倒数第二段第一句话可知，使用机器人进行太空探索比人类做这项工作花费更少，因此B项说法错误。故选B。
46．A 词义猜测题。根据“much too hot or much too cold for any humans”可推知太热或太冷了，人们无法忍受。withstand的意思是“承受，经受 住”， bear意为“忍受”。故选A。
47．D 作者态度题。A.Negative否定的；  B.Persuasive说服性的； C.Subjective主观的； D.Objective客观的。综观全文可知作者只是客观地介绍了机器人在太空探索中的使用， 并未带有否定的、说服性的或者是主观的看法，故选D项。
【备注】本文是科普类短文。叙述了机器人在帮助人类探索其他星球上的重要作用。

22. You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's
temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤离）of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water. Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
 Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable（易受影响的）to rising sea levels.
Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.

   A. rapid changes in earth's temperature         B. bad effects of global warming
   C. moving of a country to a new place           D. reasons for lowland flooding
56. According to scientists ,the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is _________ .
  A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
   B. higher surface water temperatures of the sea
   C. continuous global warming              D. rising sea levels
57. Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.
   A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions   B. sign an agreement with Tuvalu
   C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US  D. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
58. The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.
   A. Australia         B. New Zealand          C. the Maldives       D. the United States
59. Which of the following words has the similar meaning as the word “forefathers” in
the fourth paragraph?
   A. citizens           B. s              C. ancestors          D. friends
