Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as "the father of China's space program" and "the king of the rocket".
When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded (成立) and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China's rocket and air travel programs. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China's first man-made satellite (卫星). On April 24, 1970, "Dongfanghong-I" was successfully sent into the air.
In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article about the mistake.
Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, "I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, he couldn't have helped to develop science and technology when New China was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution to rocket industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard."
Mr Qian has been dead for over ten years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.
7. Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young
A.To find a new job.
B.To receive further education.
C.To meet with his parents.

8. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A.The way Qian Xuesen tried to return to China.
B.The reason why a special organization was set up.
C.The role Qian Xuesen played in making the satellite.
D.The contribution Qian Xuesen has made to China.
9. In Zhu Yilin's opinion, what made Qian Xuesen work hard for his motherland
A.His love for the motherland. B.His professional knowledge.
C.His working experience. D.His anger towards America.
10. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A.Qian was not welcome in America in the 1950s
B.the young man couldn't understand Qian's articles
C.New China was in great need of scientists like Qian
D.hard conditions made it easier to develop rocket industry
三、阅读理解-阅读完成句子（共1小题）
You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem, but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. In those days people spelt words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn't made until the time of the Qing dynasty.
The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.
Murray had not been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one metre underground. In winter he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.
Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, and his two daughters were among them. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It had more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought your English dictionary was big!

I can still remember one thing happened when I was in Grade 8. I forgot to do my homework. I thought he would be angry and punish me. However, he just kindly told me what I should do in the future. I was so moved that I decided to finish my homework on time from then on.
