三、 阅读理解
21. Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS). ISS crew members usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy.  Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, massages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines,  photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the Internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast mass and oceans.
28．What does the word “mimic”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.  find       B.  copy         C. change                      D. lose
29．Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?
A. They are excited and curious.
B. They are  impatient and annoyed
C. They are worried and upset.
D. They are caring and thoughtful
30．In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts __________.
A.  get more pleasure in space than on the Earth
B.  find living in space a bit boring and tiring
C. love to see the Earth from space
D. regard space life as common
31．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts __________.
A. spend their free time in space
B. observe the Earth from space
C. connect with people on the Earth
D. work for longer missions in space
参考答案：
28．B
29．D
30．C
31．A
试题分析：本文属于说明文，主要介绍了宇航员在空闲的休息时间的娱乐活动。
28．B 词义猜测题。根据本句They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible.可知宇航员在太空中也是工作5天休息两天，这样的工作模式是在模仿地球上正常的工作模式。所以划线词“mimic”意为“copy”。故B正确。
29．D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, massages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.可知在进入太空之前与宇航员的家人就要为他们准备很多图片相册等东西让宇航员在太空中闲下来的时候看。说明他们的家人很有爱心，并且想得很周到。故D正确。
30．C 根据本段第一句 Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth.可知很多宇航员在太空中都喜欢看着飞船外面的地球的样子，感受地球的广阔和海洋。故C项正确。
31．A 主旨大意题。作者在第一段中提出宇航员的生活很忙，但是也有空闲时间。接着在第二段里具体介绍了在空闲时间宇航员具体所做的事情。故A正确。源:Zxxk.Co
22.     Several European countries rang in the New Year in new ways.

President Nicolas Sarkozy gave the first traditional New Year's greeting of his presidency, with a "message of hope, faith in life and in the future".
    In Russia, Vladimir Putin delivered the last New Year's Eve address of his eight – year presidency, boasting of (夸耀) economic improvements and claiming to have restored a sense of unity among Russians, who are likely to see him stay in power as Prime Minister after he steps down in a few months. In Moscow, thousands gathered in Red Square, watching a concert beneath the onion domes (圆顶) of St Basil's Cathedral, and fireworks above.

More than a million people in New York's Times Square cheered at the 100th drop of a giant ball.

This year's event featured an energy - efficient ball clothed in Waterford crystals (水晶), with 9,576 light - shining diodes (二极管) that generated a lot of color1 s.
    In London, people gathered in Trafalgar Square and along the banks of the River Thames to watch a firework display and hear Big Ben welcome the New Year with 12 resounding bongs.
