三、 阅读理解
21. September 21, 2050----At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford. He will leave the earth in the launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November, together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip. Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars, but another 600 days there before he can go back home. Patrick was of course very excited, “ This has been my dream since I was four, and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $ 1. 3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake (股份) in the company his father had built. “I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today, he knew what this means to me”, says Patrick. There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back, but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So, how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet? “Well, since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company, I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea”, he says and laughs. If he brings a shovel(铁锹)he can start building the first hotel there, but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
13.How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back?
A. About five months B. About two years C. About 600 days D. About 750 days
14.The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that .
A. the trip will turn Patrick into a beggar
B. Patrick will get much money from the trip
C. we needn’t worry about Patrick’s economic condition
D. it’s likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
15.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Patrick is an optimistic man
B. A total of six people will go to Mars
C. Patrick’s father felt excited at the news
D. Patrick will spend all his money on the trip

22. Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.
For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical experiment and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.
Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with an alternative method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指). Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.
None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said they’d rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.
The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low- and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self-administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.
“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.
23. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A vaccine that cures people of their flu.
B. A team that does research on seasonal flu.
C. A patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.
D. A method that makes traditional flu shot painless.
24. What do we know about the vaccine patch?
A. It causes slight side effects.
B. It causes serious skin reactions.
C. It delivers vaccine on the head.
D. It works badly on 30% of the volunteers.
25. The new patch has all the following benefits except that .
A. it is provided free of charge
B. it can be used without doctors
C. it can be kept at room temperature
D. it needs less care in transportation
26. What is Katja and Maria’s attitude towards the new shot?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable.
C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.
参考答案:
23. C 24. A 25. A 26. B
【分析】
本文介绍的是一种不需要实际注射,并且效果很好,易于操作,成本低,易于运输,不需冷藏流感疫苗贴。
【23题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.第三段These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指).Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.第四段The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.等内容可知本文介绍的是一种不需要实际注射并且效果很好的流感疫苗贴,这个新发明使以往的疫苗注射成为了过去。故选C。
【24题详解】
细节推理题。根据第四段None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group,可知疫苗实验过程中,志愿者只是有轻微的副作用反应,故选B。
【25题详解】
细节推理题。根据第三段These tiny needles can fit under your thumb倒数第二段Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less,is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self - administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.可知这种疫苗贴的优点,易于操作,成本低,易于运输,不需冷藏,没有针头的浪费等,题中A项没有明确提到,故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.可知Katja Hoschler和 Maria Zambon认为这种疫苗贴有可能成为疫苗接种项目的理想候选,由此可见他们对疫苗贴是赞成的,故选B。
【名师点睛】细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大,应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是:对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解,一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案,而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下:
1.略读材料,大概了解原文,掌握中心或主旨。本文介绍的是一种不需要实际注射,并且效果很好,易于操作,成本低,易于运输,不需冷藏流感疫苗贴。
2.按文章的体裁,作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。小题2考查疫苗贴的细节内容,根据第四段None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group,可知疫苗实验过程中,志愿者只是有轻微的副作用反应。小题3考查疫苗贴的优点,根据第三段These tiny needles can fit under your thumb倒数第二段Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less,is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self - administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.可知这种疫苗贴的优点包括,易于操作,成本低,易于运输,不需冷藏,没有针头的浪费等,题中A项没有明确提到。
