However, that is exactly what

28、 happened to Russian astronaut Alexey Ovchinin and American astronaut Nick Hague.(迫使宇航员撤 离的火箭问题可能是好莱坞电影里的情节。然而,那正是发生在俄罗斯宇航员 Alexey Ovchinin和美国宇航员 Nick Hague身上的事情)”可知本空承接上文,说明事情的结果, 故 F选项(幸运的是,这部“电影”有一个美满的结局,两位科学家都安全返回了地球)符 合语境。故选 F。 2.B根据上文“The event happened shortly after the Soyuz rocket and its S

29、oyuz MS-10 space capsule(太空舱) carrying the astronauts took off from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.(这一事件发生在“联盟号”火箭及其搭载宇航员的“联盟号 MS-10”太空舱 从哈萨克斯坦拜科努尔航天发射场起飞后不久)”可推测下文说明本次事件涉及的人 物,即俄罗斯宇航员 Alexey Ovchinin和美国宇航员 Nick Hague这两位科学家。故 B 选项“The two scientists were on their way to carry out a six-month task a

30、t the International Space Station.(这两位科学家当时正在前往国际空间站执行一项为期六个 月的任务)”符合语境。故选 B。 3.D结合上文“The take-off went off smoothly, but just 119 seconds later, officials from Russias space agency informed NASA the booster had failed to separate from the capsule.(发射顺利进行,但仅仅 119秒后,俄罗斯航天局官员通知美国国家航空和航天 局,助推器未能与太空舱分离)

31、”可知助推器未能与太空舱分离,因此宇航员没有前往国 际空间站。故选 D。 4.G结合上文“The sharp drop is similar to free-falling from the skies and subjects astronauts to high levels of g-force.(这种急剧下降类似于从空中自由落体,使宇航员承 受高强度的重力)”以及下文“They appeared to be in excellent condition when they crash- landed about 20 kilometres east of Dzhezkazgan, Ka

32、zakhstan, just 34 minutes after they stopped the task.(当他们在哈萨克斯坦的 Dzhezkazgan 以东约 20公里处紧急着陆时, 他们的状况看起来非常好)”可知虽然这种急剧下降类似于从空中自由落体,使宇航员 承受高强度的重力。但是幸运的是,Hague和 Ovchinin曾为这种紧急情况接受过良好 的训练,他们的状况看起来非常好。故选 G。 5.C根据下文“Hague who was on his way to the space station for the first time later joked, I imagined tha

33、t my first trip to outer space was going to be a memorable one. I didnt expect it to be quite this memorable.(Hague是首次前往宇宙空间站,事后他开玩 笑说:“我以为我的第一次外太空之旅将会是一次难忘的旅行。我没想到会有这么难 忘。”)”可知这一令人痛心的事件并没有阻止 Hague和 Ovchinin想要继续前往太空的 愿望。故选 C。 .【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者和弟弟近距离观看航天 飞机发射的经历。通过这次经历,作者感受到航天飞机的巨大成功,也意识到事业上

34、 的成功与此相似,即坚持着撑过了困难的第一阶段后,事情就会越来越顺利。 1.C句意:我和我弟弟在佛罗里达州的奥兰多见证了我们看到的第一次航天飞机发 射,“发现号”预定于 9 月的这天上午十点十四分飞上蓝天,我曾在电视上看到它升空了 那么多次,但现在我离看到它的发射只有几分钟了。分析句子可知,作者在电视上看 到航天飞机发射和自己亲眼看到航天飞机发射之间是转折的关系。故选 C。 2.B句意:成功的过程像火箭(升空)一样。分析句子可知,take off为固定词组,意为 “(飞机)起飞;出发”,作者将成功比作火箭升空。故选 B。 3.A句意:站在航天飞机旁让我充分理解了一个让人难以忘却的要点。unfo

35、rgettable 难以忘却的;invalid无效的;unstable不稳定的;ineffective无效果的。分析文章可知,近 距离看航天飞机的发射让作者充分理解了一个让人难以忘记的要点。故选 A。 4.D通过数百台便携式收音机的小扬声器可以听到倒计时开始,这些收音机全都被 调频到美国国家航空和航天局。worker工人;actor演员;rocket 火箭;speaker扬声器。 分析文章可知,后文提到“portable radios”(便携式收音机),由此判断此处指的是收音机 的扬声器。故选 D。 5.C句意:这足以让你的心脏从你的胸口跳出来。strike击打;knock敲击;beat(心脏

36、) 跳动;hit打击,命中。分析文章可知,此处是一种夸张的写作手法,指人们看到航天飞机 升空时很激动。故选 C。 6.B句意:时间一到,火箭侧边的助推器被点燃,八个爆炸螺栓紧随其后。front前面 的;side侧边的;overhead头上方的;bottom底部的。根据常识可知,火箭或航天飞机升 空需点燃其侧边的助推器。故选 B。 7.B然后航天飞机开始向上上升。downward向下;upward 向上;forward向 前;outward向外。分析文章可知,航天飞机应是向上上升。故选 B。 8.A句意:数千万磅的推力几乎不能使这个飞行器上升。hardly 几乎不;nearly几 乎;mostl

37、y主要地;exactly确切地。故选 A。 9.C但是只要航天飞机飞起来,它就会“咆哮”着飞上天空,以超过每小时 17 000 英里 的速度进入太空。take up 占用;make up构成;pick up拾起,慢慢站起;warm up(使)活跃 起来。分析句子可知,航天飞机在点火成功后,刚起飞的那段过程是最艰难的,但只要 度过了那个过程,就能飞向太空了。故选 C。 10.A在发射航天飞机时的前两分钟内,关于伟大的成功的教训就呈现了出来。 present存在的;apparent明显的;ordinary普通的;absolute完全的,全部的。故选 A。 11.C句意:事实是,航天飞机会在前 2

38、分钟内消耗 85%的燃料,只是为了让这个 15层 楼高的超级建筑到达轨道高度。 beyond超越;below低于;within 在之内;above 在之上。根据前文可知,航天飞机前两分钟的发射过程使作者有所感悟。同时, 后文陈述了一个事实:航天飞机最初升空时会用完绝大多数的能量来帮助自身进入指 定的轨道。故选 C。 12.D成功的职业生涯开始时是最难的,这需要消耗巨大的能量一个巨大的推力。 enquiry查询;qualification资格;competence能力;consumption消耗(量)。分析句子可知, 前文提到航天飞机在发射升空的前 2 分钟内要消耗 85%的燃料,而作者将成功比

39、作了 航天飞机发射升空,由此判断,为了成功而需要付出的能量在开始阶段也是巨大的。 故选 D。 13.B句意同上。 pull拉;push推;pressure压力;principle原则。航天飞机要进入太空 需要一个强大的推力,作者将成功比作航天飞机发射升空,由此可知,成功也需要巨大 的推力。故选 B。 14.B句意:然而,如果你坚持撑过了发射期,这似乎几乎无用的一段时间后,一切就会 变得越来越容易,而你的成就也会越来越大。theory理论;launch发射;circulation 流通, 环流;orbit轨道。分析文章可知,作者提到航天飞机发射期是最难的时刻,而成功也是 如此。故选 B。 15.A句意同上。useless无用的;careless 不小心的;wireless无线的;priceless无价的。 前文提到,航天飞机升空时,前 2 分钟就会消耗 85%的燃料,这两分钟对于很多事情来 讲都是很短的时间,在短时间内收效甚微,这似乎是无用的一段时间,而度过了这两分 钟后就会取得巨大的飞跃。故选 A。
