Barbara Morgan’s life-long dream has always been to travel into space.On August 8,2007,her wish came true.The former teacher was one of seven crewmembers on the Space Shuttle (航天飞机)Endeavour,which flew into space from NASA’s Kennedy Space Station in Florida.
Morgan taught at a primary school in Boise from 1975 to 1998—with some time off for astronaut (宇航员)training.In 1985,she was chosen as a backup for Christa McAuliffe,who was to be the first teacher in space.On January 28,1986,the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded(爆炸)just 73 seconds after take-off killing McAuliffe and the other six crewmembers.
After the Challenger accident,Morgan continued to teach.In 1998,she was asked to become an astronaut.Morgan’s mission aboard Endeavour includes overseeing the move of 5,000 pounds of goods from the shuttle to the International Space Station and operating the shuttle’s robotic arm.
Morgan gave students an unusual class after she was in space.Morgan’s out-of-this-world class was broadcast live on NASA television.Her husband Clay Morgan said he couldn’t help but smile as he watched her talk to students.“I’m just so proud of her and how she’s going to do all this and do the work of an astronaut as well as a teacher,” he said.“She just kept telling me how unbelievable it was to be in space and I think it’s much better than she expected.” One student asked Morgan how being a teacher compared to being an astronaut.“We explore,we discover and we share,” she said.“The great thing about being a teacher is that you get to do things with students,and the great thing about being an astronaut is that you get to do them in space;these are both wonderful jobs.”
The 25 minutes question-and-answer meeting also included the astronauts entertaining(使欢乐)students by swallowing floating juice bubbles and playing with ping-pong balls.
21.The underlined word in the second paragraph most probably means “　　　”.
A.someone as a replacement
B.someone as a volunteer
C.someone as a teacher

D.Being a teacher is quite different from being an astronaut.
23.Clay Morgan’s attitude towards his wife’s being an astronaut was that of 　　　.
A.surprise　　　　　　　 B.pride
C.unconcern D.worry
24.Which of the following would be the best title for the text

B.Space Shuttle Endeavour
C.An Unusual Class
D.Barbara Morgan’s Long-life Dream
B
In October,1961,at Crowley Field in Cincinnati,Ohio,an old,deaf gentleman named William E.Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series.Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired(退休)from professional baseball many years earlier,in 1903.However,he had been an outstanding player and the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.
William E.Hoy was born in Houckstown,Ohio,on May 23,1862.He became deaf when he was two years old.He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf.After graduation,he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.
Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh Wisconsin of the Northwestern League.In 1888,he started as an outfielder(外场手)with the old Washington Senators.His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base runner.He was very good at stealing bases during his career.In the 1888 major league season,he stole 82 bases.He was also the Senators’ leading hitter in 1888.Hoy was clever;he threw right-handed and batted(击球) left-handed.On June 19,1889,he threw out three batters at the plate from his outfield position.The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy.The judge lifted his right arm to show that the pitch was a strike,and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.
For many years,people talked about Hoy’s last ball game in 1903.He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League.It was a memorable game because Hoy made a wonderful play which won the game.It was a very foggy night and,therefore,very hard to see the ball.In the ninth inning (棒球的一局),with two men out,Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out in spite of the fog.Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.
After he retired,Hoy stayed busy.He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years.He also became a public speaker and travelled giving speeches.Until a few years before his death,he took 4-10 miles’ walks several mornings a week.On December 15,1961,William Hoy died at the age of 99.
25.In which order did the following things happen in Hoy’s life
a.Hoy worked as a shoemaker.
b.Hoy began to run a dairy farm.
c.Hoy played a memorable game in the heavy fog.
d.Hoy threw the first ball of World Series.
e.Hoy became deaf.
A.d—e—a—c—b B.e—a—c—b—d
C.d—a—e—c—b D.e—a—b—c—d
26.We can infer from the last paragraph that Hoy 　　　in his late years.
A.became famous
B.led a relaxed life
C.traveled around the world
D.was in good physical condition
27.This passage is mainly about 　　　.
A.a deaf player devoted to the game of baseball
B.baseball game rules and important players
C.the rise in the social position of the deaf people
D.where the baseball judge hand signals came from
28.What can be inferred from this passage
A.Hoy was the greatest baseball player in his time.
B.Speaking and listening are not necessary in baseball games.
C.The judge had to study the hand signals very seriously.
D.Hoy’s family encouraged him to become a baseball player.
C
I am lucky.I went to great schools,and I had good teachers throughout my life.Of all the great teachers I had,my favorite was Darlene McCampbell.
Mrs McCampbell was my high school teacher at Chicago Laboratory School,and she still teaches there today.She taught me to be a better writer and better reader.But above all,she taught me how to be a better student.In Mrs McCampbell’s class,I wasn’t just taught about spelling and grammar.I was encouraged to have something to say.I was free to share my ideas and opinions,without fearing judgment.She always provided support and expressed a strong belief(信心) in her students’ potential(潜力).There was never talk of limits (限制) or what we couldn’t do.
Her belief and support came with demanding course work.She made it clear that in her class,expectations were high.She asked a lot of us,and in turn asked a lot of herself.Often,there was more red than blue on our papers.She put in a lot of hard work and late nights.
I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for teachers like Darlene McCampbell.Knowing that there are great teachers like her across the country encourages me.They teach us to show up,play a part in activities and work hard.They encourage us to set goals and achieve great things.They are helpful and very important to a student’s future and to the future of education in this country.They are my heroes.On this special day,I sincerely thank them.

5.答案:B
6.答案:B
7.答案:C
8.答案:B
9.答案:B
10.答案:B
11.答案:A
12.答案:C
13.答案:C
14.答案:B
15.答案:C
16.答案:B
17.答案:B
18.答案:C
19.答案:A
20.答案:C
21.答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。从下文可知,1986年1月28日“挑战者号”航天飞机在起飞73秒后爆炸,使得前飞行员兼教师克里斯塔·麦考利芙和其他六名机组人员全部遇难。所以这句话的意思是:“1985年,她就是作为克里斯塔·麦考利芙的后备人员被选中的”。故选A项。
22.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第四段最后一句可知,她说:“当老师是和学生打交道,这是很好的事情;当宇航员和太空打交道,也是一件很好的事情。它们都是很好的工作。”故选B项。
23.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。从第四段中的 “he couldn’t help but smile”和“I’m just so proud of her” 可知B项正确。
24.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是美国女教师巴巴拉·摩根给学生们上的一节课,故C项最合适。
25.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由文章第二段可以排除A、C项;由最后一段可知b项发生在霍伊退休之后,由倒数第二段可知c项发生于1903年霍伊的最后一场比赛,故c项早于b项。
26.答案:D
解析:推理判断题。倒数第二句话“Until a few years before his death,he took 4-10 miles’
walks several mornings a week.”说明霍伊在晚年身体仍然很健康。
27.答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。本文实际上是关于霍伊的简短传记。
28.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。既然聋哑人可以成为杰出的棒球运动员,那么听和说在这项运动中就显得不那么重要了。
29.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的“...I wasn’t just taught about spelling and grammar.I was encouraged to have something to say.”可推测Mrs McCampbell应该是教语言的老师。
30.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的“I was free to share my ideas and opinions...There was never talk of limits or what we couldn’t do.”可知,在Mrs McCampbell的课堂上学生能自由地表达自己的观点,而没有任何语言或行动上的限制。
31.答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据下文中的“老师的期望很高。对我们要求严格,也严格要求自己。”可知,老师布置的课程作业是相当难的。
32.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由文章最后一句“On this special day,I sincerely thank them.”可推测,本文可能是在教师节那天写的。
答案:33.E　34.C　35.F　36.B　37.D
38.答案:A
解析:从语境得知,海伦是在赶公交车的时候出了事故。此处表示为了不错过公交车,她朝公交车跑去。
39.答案:C
解析:海伦倒在了公交车的后轮下面,因此被轧成重伤。inside“在里面”,beside“在旁
边”,before“在……前”,都不符合语境。
40.答案:B
解析:从下文看,海伦幸免于难,从车祸中活了下来。
41.答案:D
解析:在作者13岁的“头脑”中……,mind侧重“思维”,heart侧重“情感”。
42.答案:B
解析:因为海伦受了重伤,所以作者认为她从此不能再过正常的生活了。
43.答案:B
解析:从下文作者和海伦16年没有见面,见面的时候是在佛罗里达,而小的时候她是在俄亥俄州判断,作者搬了家。
44.答案:A
解析:作者的大儿子被车撞了。hit表示“撞”,也可用knock down表示,但knock“敲”不表示此意。
45.答案:B
解析:由最后儿子竟不可思议地康复了可判断,当时作者的儿子伤势严重。
46.答案:A
解析:从下文海伦所做的事情以及所说的话判断,她是社会工作者,因此用social worker。其他选项不符合逻辑。
47.答案:C
解析:海伦坐在轮椅上,因此是滑着轮椅进来。roll “滚动”。
48.答案:B
解析:虽然16年没有见面,但作者还是认出了海伦。still“仍然”。
49.答案:A
解析:get through在此处的意思是“度过(艰难或不愉快的一段时间)”。
50.答案:C
解析:海伦讲了两人最后一次见面以后的情况。
51.答案:A
解析:so that引导目的状语从句,当“以便”讲,符合句意。
52.答案:D
解析:海伦是一个社会工作者,帮助那些她认为比自己还不幸的人。此处海伦用不如她“幸运”的人,说明海伦的乐观和坚强。
53.答案:B
解析:下文有提示,“哪里有生命,哪里就有希望”。
54.答案:D
解析:跟海伦相比,作者感到自己很“渺小”。feel great“感觉良好”,显然不符合上下文的逻辑;B、C两项与后面的转折词but矛盾。
55.答案:D
解析:作者受到了鼓舞,自得知儿子受伤后第一次感觉到了希望。
56.答案:C
解析:结合第一段最后一句作者认为海伦不能正常生活可知,与之相呼应的应是作者原来认为对海伦这样的残疾人来说生活没有质量可言。
57.答案:C
解析:从后面的动词repay可以断定,应选debt“人情债”。此处为引申意义:海伦对作者的鼓舞,是作者永远也无法偿还的“恩情”。
答案:58.interested　59.the　60.in　61.teaching 62.changed　63.educators　64.where　65.firmly　66.and 67.to set
答案:第一句:visit→visited
第二句:but→so/and;去掉anywhere前的to
第三句:comfortably→comfortable
