Pioneers of space tourism are not discouraged by the NASA disaster.答案:A解析 1-10W: Good morning, listeners. Today we have invited Professor Anthony Johnson from Robotics Institute to tell us about

5、space tourism in the 21st century. Professor Johnson, after what had happened to NASAs Mars Pathfinder, do you think plans about space travel will be adjusted?M: You would think that NASAs recent disaster would have dampened the spirits of those who see space as tourisms last frontier. Not a bit. Or

6、biting hotels are still being planned; some travel agents are offering flight bookings.W: Has anyone actually toured in space?M: So far there has been only one space tourist: John Glenn. And it will be years before the rest of us have the opportunity to take that giant step.W: But some travel agents

7、 have promised to take us into space soon.M: For all their promises, the would-be pioneers of space tourism are a long way from putting you, me and our suitcases in orbit. Thats why Zegrahm Space Voyages, a space tour operator, has had to postpone, for three to five years, its first trip into space.

8、 The company had hoped to take people 100 km up for six days in 2001. It has already accepted 139 bookings at $ 98000 a person. Now it says that space travel will not be possible until technology can be developed that is safe enough. However, if you have the courage and the cash, you can go to the e

9、dge of space 22 km high in Russian-made jets from an airfield in Moscow, for $12000 each. Up to now, some 4500 adventurers have made .the trip.W: What will happen next?M: The next step will be sub-orbital travel, up to 100 km high. Sub-orbital ships will be technologically less complex and cheaper t

One US group, the X Prize Foundation, is offering $10 million to the first designer to develop a ship that can carry passengers into space.W: What about orbiting hotels?M: Until then, plans to build hotels in space will

11、 remain mere pies in the sky. But that hasnt stopped folks from drawing up blueprints. Experts believe that orbiting hotels are closer to reality than a resort on the moon. Right now, the idea of a lunar hotel is just one big dream.W: How did the idea of the edge-of-space travel come to peoples mind

12、?M: Space tourisms best immediate chance has come from a surprising angle. Instead of trying to get to the moon, why not bring it a little closer to us? Lunar Corp, a private firm in Arlington, Virginia, has developed a spaceship called the Icebreaker. It is like an office desk with surround vision.

13、 It will dig for samples on the lunar surface in the hope of finding water. NASA Kennedy Space Center gets 3 million visitors a year. By 2003, visitors will be able to take a simulated space flight for $10. Drivers will be selected to sit in the command chair, simultaneously watching a video screen

14、that shows the action of the Icebreaker. This is the way forward for space tourism. A new concept for a new millennium. Revenues from such activities will drive other commercial cosmic developments. And as space flight gets cheaper, watch the booking skyrocket. 在第一個話輪中，男士第一、二兩句指出：You would think.Not

15、 a bit(你也許認為最近NASA的災(zāi)難會讓那些將太空視為旅游業(yè)最后領(lǐng)域的人感到沮喪。一點兒也沒有)，也就是說，NASA的災(zāi)難并沒有打擊到那些進行太空旅游的倡導(dǎo)者，這與題句的意思是一致的，因此本題正確。 2. The first group of travelers will take a trip to space in 2001.答案:B在第三個話輪中，男士提到了Zegrahm Space Voyages這家運作太空旅游的公司，指出該公司希望在2001年將人們帶到100公里的太空中過6天，緊接著指出：Now it says that space travel will not be po

16、ssible.，并且其前已經(jīng)指出該公司將其首次太空旅行推遲了35年，由此可知2001年肯定實現(xiàn)不了去太空旅行的愿望，故題句是錯誤的。3. At least 139 people have booked a trip to space.答案:A本題對應(yīng)于第三個話輪中男士的第四句話：It has already accepted 139 bookings at.，即已經(jīng)有139個人預(yù)訂了2001年的這次太空旅行，故題句是正確的。4. People have ventured to the edge of space in Russian jets at $12000 a person.答案:A第三

17、個話輪中男士在提到搭乘俄羅斯制造的噴氣式飛機到達22公里高處的“太空邊上”時指出：Up to now，some 4500 adventurers have made the trip(迄今已有大約4500名冒險者進行了這一旅行)，這與題句的意思是一致的，因此本題是正確的。5. Sub-orbital ships have already been designed.答案:B在第四個話輪中男士提到了sub-orbital ships(亞軌飛船)。其中第三、四兩句指出：Private companies and rich individuals.that can carry passengers

18、into space(私人公司和有錢的個人都正在紛紛研制模型。有一個叫“X獎基金會”的美國團體打算提供1000萬美元，用于獎勵第一個研發(fā)出可將乘客送入太空的飛船設(shè)計者)。由此可知，這種亞軌飛船還沒有設(shè)計出來，因此題句是錯誤的。6. People have drawn up blueprints for moon hotels.答案:B題句對應(yīng)于第五個話輪中男士的第二句話(But that hasnt stopped folks from drawing up blueprints)。但這個話輪討論的是軌道旅館而非月球旅館，男士的第三、四句指出，專家們認為軌道旅館比月球旅館更現(xiàn)實一些，而目前月球

19、旅館只不過是一個大大的夢想。由此可知，人們描繪的是軌道旅館而非月球旅館的藍圖，故題句錯誤。7. Its easier to build an orbiting hotel than a hotel on the moon.答案:A本題對應(yīng)于第五個話輪中男士的第三句話：Experts believe that orbiting hotels are closer to reality than a resort 0n the moon(專家們認為軌道旅館要比月球上的度假地更接近現(xiàn)實)，其意當然是建造軌道旅館要比建造月球旅館容易，故題句是正確的。8. The Icebreaker will be

20、sent to the moon to collect samples.答案:A第六個話輪中提到了the Icebreaker(破冰者)這艘飛船，其中男士的第五句話指出：It will dig for samples on the lunar surface in the hope of finding water(它將在月球表面挖掘樣本，以期在月球上找到水)，這與題句的意思是一致的，故本題正確。9. In 2003 people can get to the moon in the spaceship Icebreaker.答案:B本題對應(yīng)于第六個話輪中男士的第七句話：By 2003，Vis

21、itors will be able to take a simulated space flight for $10(到2003年，游客們將能花10美元進行一次模擬太空飛行)。只要聽清了原文，將其與題句對照即可知題句不正確。10. Money made from space tourism will be used to boost commercial space development.答案:A本題對應(yīng)于第六個話輪中男士的倒數(shù)第二句話：Revenues from such activities will drive other commercial cosmic developments

22、(這些活動所得的收入會推動其他商業(yè)性宇宙開發(fā))，題句的意思與此一致，因此是正確的。Part B You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. You will hear the recording ONLY ONCE.

36、l corners of the world. And this requires a global-ready workforce. Universities have a large part to play in preparing students for the 21st century labor market by promoting international educational experiences. The most obvious way universities can help develop a global workforce is by encouragi

37、ng students to study abroad as part of their course. Students who have experienced another culture firsthand are more likely to be global-ready when they graduate. Global workforce development doesnt always have to involve travel abroad, however. If students learn another language and study other cu

38、ltures, they will be more global-ready when they graduate. It is important to point out that students also need to have a deep understanding of their own culture before they can begin to observe, analyze and evaluate other cultures.

What should students do first before they can really understand other cultures?A.Gain a deep understanding of their own cult

42、ure.B.Take courses of foreign languages and cultures.C.Share the experiences of people from other cultures.D.Participate in international exchange programs.答案:A對應(yīng)的信息位于獨白中部第九句話：.students also need t0 have a deep understanding of their own culture before they can begin to observe, analyze and evaluate

43、 other cultures(學(xué)生們在能夠開始觀察、分析并評價其他文化之前，還需要對他們自身的文化有深刻的理解才行)，即只有深刻理解了自己的文化后，才有可能去理解別的文化，這與A項的意思是一致的。6. What should college students realize according to the speaker?A.Reflective thinking is becoming critical.B.Labor market is getting globalized.C.Knowing a foreign language is essentialD.Globalization

44、 will eliminate many jobs.答案:B獨白的倒數(shù)第二句指出：Students.may not realize that.they will be competing in a global labor market(然而，學(xué)生們自己也許并未意識到，畢業(yè)后他們將是在全球性的勞動力市場上競爭)。由說話都所使用的語氣和常識可知，其言下之意就是學(xué)生們應(yīng)當意識到這一點，且獨白最后一句也明確提出大學(xué)應(yīng)當讓學(xué)生們意識到這些問題，因此本題答案就是B：勞動力市場已經(jīng)越來越全球化。 Questions 17 to 20 are based on a talk about two means

Its fun There is fast bus service between cities. For example, the Greyhound bus service has the picture of a greyhound, a

47、 dog which can run very fast on the side of the bus. Some buses have an upper and a lower level. The roof is often made of glass and in the summer the heat of the sun through the glass makes feel too hot. Although the buses are cooled by air conditioning, it does not always seem to work with such go

48、od effect on the top level. The seats are soft with a reading lamp over each one and they lean back for sleeping at night. On these long distance buses there is a toilet and other comfort on board. Stops are made for meal at roadside restaurants and there is time to stretch your legs. It takes about

49、 three and a half days to cross America by bus with short stops for meals. The roads and highways are splendid, running straight for hundreds of miles. Some are free ways which means that there is no charge for using them or others called turnpikes the drivers have to pay. There are no crossroads or

50、 traffic lights. Other roads run either above or underneath the highways with roads leading up or down to them from either side. Flying is as simple as going by bus. There are two kinds of service: a regular service on which free meals are provided, and a stop-over service where the plane stops over

51、 at various cities. Most cities have an airport. You can often buy your ticket and arrange your airplane trip all within about twenty minutes.

54、fer.答案:B答案信息對應(yīng)于獨白的最后一句：Businessmen who are in a hurry, do all their travelling by plane(趕時間的生意人出行都坐飛機)，表明他們坐飛機的原因是為了趕時間。10.

57、 from horrid experiences during the First World War.

Seeking escape from the grim reality, I read avidly, mainly science fiction. Jules Verne fired my ima

58、gination. I dreamed that science would become the means to alleviate the miseries of life and to eradicate the scourge of war. Thus, my life-long outlook on science was formed: it should push forward the frontiers of knowledge but also serve human welfare. The odds against my becoming a scientist were immense. I had to work for a living and
