Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on
space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called “spin-off technology.” Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.
In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the Space Shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. For example, we have Quartz crystal clocks and watches with accuracy of one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter(过滤器) designed for the astronauts' use in space. The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuum cleaners, flashlights, drills and saws came from the technology of these early space programs.
On cold winter days we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, and insulated(绝缘的) coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that kept astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spin-offs from space technology.
These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday lives. No one knows how new spin-off technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.
36. Which of the following is NOT a spinoff?
A. Water filters. B. Quartz watches.
C. Battery – operated socks. D. Spacesuits worn by astronauts.

A. 精确 B. 误差 C. 倒数 D. 技术
38. The underlined part “purify the water” probably means “make the water ”.

39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Future of Space Technology B. History of Spinoffs
C. Spinoff Technology D. Space Projects
40. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer .
A. believes that space technology will be widely used on Earth
B. doubts if spinoffs have any good effect on human beings
C. agrees to do more research on spinoff technology
D. suggests using more spinoffs in our daily life
C
It is dark at the bottom of the ocean. It’s cold down there, too. There’s no air to breathe. The water pressure is high. There may be fishes that could hurt you The deep sea can be an unpleasant place. But people are still fascinated by it, not just because of the amazing scenery. The seafloor might hold the secret to the beginning of life on Earth.
Oceans cover more than two-thirds of our planet. Yet, we have explored just a small part of the underwater world. A new project is there to explore the ocean deeper. A new US machine can carry people as deep as 6,500 meters. It will take the place of an older machine called Alvin. The old one has been in use for 40 years but it can only go down to 4,500 meters. Alvin played a key role in many important jobs. Alvin helped biologists collect worms, chemists gather rocks, and oceanographers map the seafloor and take water samples.
But now it’s about time for a new one. The new machine will be like Alvin. It’ll be about 27 feet long, about the size of a small school bus. The seating area inside will be small, about two meters wide. Like Alvin, it’ll carry a pilot and two passengers. It will be able to move like Alvin does. It’ll give passengers more chance to enjoy the view. Alvin has only three windows. The new one will have five. It will travel more than a mile an hour faster than Alvin. Getting to the bottom faster and moving around more quickly will allow researchers to make the most of their time underwater.
41.What is it like at the bottom of the sea?
(1) dark (2) full of secret (3) dangerous (4) amazing (5) warm (6) with high air pressure
A. (1)(2)(3)(4) B. (1)4)(5)(6) C.(1)(3)(5)(6) D. (1)(3)(4)(6)
42. How many meters deeper will the new sea ship be able to go than Alvin?
A. 6,500 B. 2,000 C. 4,500 D. 11,000
43. The deep sea is fascinating because _________.
A. There are many fishes and beautiful sceneries.
B. It’s cold and amazing scenery.
C. It has the beautiful pictures.
D. It might hold the secret of the beginning of life and has the beautiful scenery.
44. The underlined word “pressure” in paragraph 2 is closest meaning to “______”.
A. force B. pull C. push D. gravity
45. The underlined word “breathe” in paragraph 2 refers to “__________”.
A. use B. take into C. give off D. take away
D
Tourists in space
Man has been traveling into space for more than 40 years. Even today though, very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about 30 per year. This is mainly because of the expense. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into space. Very few countries can afford this.
This is why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20,000,000 US dollars to the Russian space agency to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His trip, making him the first ever space tourist, took eight days altogether. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at the Earth and listening to music on his once-in –a –lifetime trip.
After landing safely back on earth, Mr. Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty he had was walking but this is normal for anyone who’s been in zero gravity(重力).
Some people, especially in the American space agency, think that you must be trained to go into space. They worry about the safety. Mr. Tito received training before he left. He also helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was planning to go.
A survey showed that 75% of Americans supported space tourism. Some people are ________ of all the places on earth. They are looking for a new trip and space is the place.
The money Mr. Tigo gave the Russians equaled 20% of their annual budget (年度预算). If we want to see men on Mars and other planets, we may need rich people like Mr. Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.
46. Very few people can go into space, what may be the main reason?
A. It costs too much. B. It takes too long.
C. The training is tough D. Spaceship travels too slowly
47. What’s true about Dennis Tito?
A. He is a Russian. B. He is the first man in space.
C. He spends much money on his trip.
D. He is an astronaut.
48. Dennis Tito did many things during his trip. But he didn’t ___________.
A. take many photos B. listen to music
C. look at the earth D. talk to his relatives and friends
49. Which can be the missing words in Paragraph 5?

50. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Mr Tito paid the American space agency, much money.
B. The Russians have more rich people than any other country.
C. If you want to go into space, training is unnecessary.
