II.阅读理解(Reading comprehension)(共30小题,计30分)

  A)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、 B、 C和D)中,选出最佳选项。(答案涂在答题纸上)

                              (A)
  People have dreamed of travelling in space for thousands of years. But it was not until 1957 that

 it became a reality.
  On October 4,1957 Russia launched the first manmade satellite into space. It was called Sputnik 1.
  On April 12,1961 the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to orbit the Earth.
  The first spacewoman in the world was Valentina Tereshkova. She made 48 orbits in 1963 in her Vostok 6.
  On July 20,1969 the American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the Moon.
  In 1986 the Russian space station Mir was launched.
  Scientists are already at work on the International Space Station, a “city of space”. It will be the size of a football field and will weigh over 200 tons. A team of 10-15 spacemen will probably be able to live and work at the International Space Station in 2005.
  The next step will be the first moonbase. 20 or 30 scientists will live inside a dome(圆屋顶建筑) with an artificial atmosphere(人造大气). This will make it possible for them to live and work without spacesuits. It also means that they will be able to grow food.
  The next great step will be landing people on our nearest planet Mars. Scientists say that the planet once had water on its surface. If that water is now frozen underground, humans will be able to use it someday. By the end of the 21st century, scientists hope, it will be possible to turn the planet into an earthlike place with air and water.

21.The underlined word “cosmonaut” means “       ”.
  A. satellite 
    B. astronaut 
    C. spaceship 
    D. station
22.Who was the first person to move around the Earth in a spaceship?
  A. Valentina Tereshkova. 
    B. Yuri Gagarin.
    C. Neil Armstrong. 
    D. An American.
23.In 2005, the International Space Station will be built, 
   where       spacemen will work and live.
  A.200 
    B.20 or 30 
    C.10-15 
    D.21
24.When the first moonbase is built, scientists will       .
    A. wear nothing 
    B. eat nothing 
    C. wear only spacesuits 
    D. grow food in the dome
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
  A. People didn't begin to dream of travelling in space until 1957.
  B. The Russian space station was built in 1957.
  C. It is possible that human beings will land on Mars.
  D. People don't know if there was water on Mars.

IV.翻译(Translation)(共5小题,计10分)

  阅读下面短文,然后把划线处的句子译成汉语。(答案写在答题纸上)
  The planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe, but it's the only place where human beings can live.
  (71)
Today, our planet is in serious danger. Acid rains, global warming, air and water
pollution, overpopulation are the problems that threaten(威胁) human life on Earth.

  Who is to blame for the disaster? The answer is simple: all of us.
   (72)Our forests are disappearing because they are cut down or burnt. If this trend(倾向)continues, one day we won't have enough oxygen(氧气) to breathe.
  (73)
Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever. If nothing
is done about it, one million species(种类) that are alive today may soon become extinct.

  Air pollution is another serious problem. In Cairo just breathing the air is dangerous—equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
  (74)
Factories send out tons of harmful chemicals. They are the main reason for the
greenhouse effect and acid rains.

  (75)
Fortunately, it's not too late to solve these problems. We have the time, the
money and even the technology(技术) to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place.
