Ⅲ.阅读理解
体裁：说明文　话题：航天科技　时间：7分钟
It was a modest test drive: Moving forward 15 feet，turning in place 120 degrees，then backing up about 8 feet.The entire trip took about 16 minutes.
But for the team behind Curiosity，the six－wheeled NASA rover(探测器) that landed on Mars 17 days ago，the first tracks on Mars were an exciting milestone.“It couldn't be more important，” Peter C．Theisinger，the mission's project manager，said.“I mean，we built a rover.So unless the rover moves，we really haven't accomplished anything.”
Curiosity，which was launched on November 26，2011，is to spend about a couple of years traveling through a 96－mile－wide crater(陨石坑) and up a mountain at the center of the crater，exploring for signs that early Mars could have been habitable for life.
But that journey of miles started a few feet away from Bradbury Landing，where Curiosity set down on Aug.6，2022.The spot had been named for Ray Bradbury，the author of The Martian Chronicles and other influential science－fiction novels.He would have turned 92 on Wednesday.
Recently，Curiosity has been busy with other exercises.On Sunday，the rover fired a laser instrument for the first time，hitting a rock and analyzing the atomic make－up.On Monday，it extended its arm.On Tuesday，it moved its four corner wheels in preparation for the drive.
“Everything has been going extremely well，” Mr.Theisinger said.So far，the only broken instrument has been a wind sensor that may have been damaged during the landing，NASA said.
During the next week，as more instruments are checked out，Curiosity is to head to its first destination，called Glenelg.At first，Curiosity will move only about 30 feet at a time.As its engineers gain experience，the drives will stretch to longer than the length of a football field.
Mr.Theisinger warned that the early successes did not ensure future onesSo far，the mission has accomplished only two of its primary goals：to launch on time and to land on Mars.“We've got a long way to go before this mission meets its full potential，” he said.
【语篇导读】　美国国家航空航天局放射的古怪   号火星探测器在降落火星17天后首次试车，迈出了火星探险的第一步。
1．What does Peter C．Theisinger think of the test drive?
A．It hasn't accomplished anything.
B．It is of great importance.

答案　B
2．Which part of Curiosity was damaged according to the passage?
A．A laser instrument. B．A wind sensor.
C．Its arm. D．Its four corner wheels.
解析　考查细节理解。依据倒数第三段其次句可知，古怪   号火星探测器的风力传感器在着陆时受损，其他一切都完好，故答案选B项。
答案　B
3．Curiosity is mainly designed to ______．
A．search for evidence of life on Mars
B．prepare for human landing on Mars
C．explore the natural resources on Mars
D．try out some scientific instruments

5．What is Mr.Theisinger's attitude towards the mission?
A．Very optimistic. B．Very confident.
C．Very disappointed. D．Very cautious.
解析　考查推理推断。从最终一段可以看出Theisinger先生出言谨慎认为目前取得的成功并不能代表将来，在彻底完成任务前，还有很长的一段路要走。故选D项。
答案　D
【长难句解读】
原文　But for the team behind Curiosity，the six－wheeled NASA rover(探测器) that landed on Mars 17 days ago，the first tracks on Mars were an exciting milestone.
译文　17天前，美国国家航空航天局研制的六轮火星探测器古怪   号在火星上着陆。但是对于古怪   号幕后的团队来说，古怪   号在火星上留下的第一串脚印     才是令人兴奋的里程碑。
分析　这是一个主从复合句。主句是the first tracks on Mars were an exciting milestone。that在此引导一个定语从句，修饰rover。the six－wheeled NASA rover是Curiosity的同位语。

An email，sent by Carolyn Bourne to her son's fiance Heidi，which complained that Heidi was rude and impolite，was all over the Internet.People all agree that we should be polite，but no one can give a definition of what is politeness.
Similarly，politeness is also a desirable quality across China.To some extent，good manners far outweigh other moral qualities and it has a great influence on us.
My classmate，David，was unpopular at first because he was very shy and seemed a little stupid.However，he was very polite and often smiles.He usually let others come into or out of the classroom first.Whenever anyone helped him，he would write a thank－you card to him.Gradually，everyone was touched by his friendliness and politeness.Now，David is the most popular one in our class.
As senior students，we should attach great importance to it.When we meet our teachers，we should greet them kindly.When we accept helps from our classmates and teachers，we should say thanks.
