When the fragments(碎片)landed in the southern part of the grand planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own pla
23、net was hit by a comet?The year is 2094. It had been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmos
24、phere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the spend of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities
25、 on the African coast are totally destroyed and million of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the earth, but the north wont escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere b
26、y the explosion. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food.

29、ars.答案:C辨别正误题。据第三自然段的描述可知,A、B、D均符合本文所假想的事实,只有C不符。文中“No more than 10 million people have survived”一句意为“只有一千万人幸存下来”,而C项说全人类都灭亡了。明显与文章不符。题干要求找出不对的选项。37Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?ABecause they could only live in the warm climate.BBecause they once dominated the earth
30、.CBecause their extinction indicates future disasters.DBecause dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.答案:C推理推断题。第三段中,作者描述假想的人类灾难最终一段提到生活在地球上的恐龙在65 million years ago突然消逝(即灭亡),很多科学家信任地球曾受到过外空星体碎片的攻击,故而导致恐龙绝种。由此示意人类将来的灾难。38In writing the passage, the author intends to_.Agive an accurate descri

Airplane p
34、ilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35, 880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.
35、This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hourexactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit. So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the sate

A satellite usually works for about 1012 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or som
37、etimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.40Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according
38、to the passage?ASending information for weather forecast.BTaking photographs of the Earth.CSending TV pictures.DProviding food for airplane pilots.答案:D从第一段可知,A、B项的内容都是卫星的功能,从第三段可知,卫星还可以发送电视画面,而D项内容文中并未提及。41Whats the speed the earth rotates at?A35,880 kilometers per hour.B335,880 kilometers per hour.
39、C11,000 kilometers per hour.D110,000 kilometers per hour.答案:C从第三段的This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hourexactly the same speed that the earth rotates.可知C项为正确答案。42What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?AA satellite.BA little rocket.CA sa
40、tellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.DThe satellite puts the rockets in the right position.答案:C上一句话的意思是:有时候我们看到天空中的卫星好像呆在同一个地方,这是由于,故本题答案为C。43Which is true of satellites?AA satellite usually works for about 1012 years.BEvery time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth
41、 to be repaired.CA broken satellite is never left in space.DThey often crash into each other.答案:A从最终一段的第三句话可知A项正确。CBrian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris.

Have a good trip.”“Thanks.”Is Brian a criminal
44、? Not at all. He is an aircourier. And he paid only $ 110 for the roundtrip ticket to Paris. Aircouriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day
45、. Often,the only way they can do this is to use an aircourier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an aircourier,but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as aircouriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. H
46、owever, aircourier travel isnt for everyone. But if you have very little money,can be flexible about your travel plans,and dont mind wearing the same clothes for a week,it can be a great way to take a vacation!文章大意:文章主要叙述了利用航空快递的利与弊。44Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?ABecause they were the uniforms for aircouriers.BBecause that made him easier to be recognized.C
