Dont suppose its your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that wont be much help when youre in the hospital. Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers arent supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字）， stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red. Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Dont suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue (发出）a ticket if you dont give drivers enough time to brake.Cross quickly. Once youve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, dont then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道）of traffic. Theres no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respect you enough to stop for you.21. Who is the text intended for?A.Drivers. B.Cyclists.C.Police. D.Pedestrians.解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段可推知，本文的目标读者是行人。22.What does the underlined word “distracted” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Considerate. B.Strange.C.Kindhearted. D.Absentminded.解析：D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules”可知，此处的distracted与loose呼应，由此可推出。23. In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?A.Racing against time with drivers.B.Following crosswalk signals.C.Crossing the crosswalk area.D.Walking outside six lanes.解析：A细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句可知，在Alberta，如果和驾驶员抢时间的话，行人会被开罚单。 Here are some kids who had great ideas that they turned into inventions. We call these kids “brain children”. Sixyearold Suzanna Goodin, tired of cleaning the cat food spoon, came up with the idea of a spoonshaped cracker that can be eaten. She won a grand prize for her invention in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest. Eightyearold Theresa Thompson and her 9yearold sister Mary were the youngest sisters to receive a US patent. They invented a solar tent for a science fair project in 1960. They called the device a Wigwarm. At age 9, Margaret Knight began working in a cotton mill, where she saw a steeltipped shuttle(梭子) fly out and hit a nearby worker. As a result, Margaret made her first invention: a shuttle restraining device. She went on to invent the machine that makes the squarebottom paper bags we still use for shopping today. That machine was patented in 1871. Elevenyearold Jeanie Low received a patent on March 10, 1992, for inventing the Kiddie Stool(凳子)a foldup stool that fits under the sink so kids can unfold it, stand on it, and reach the sink on their own! Becky Schroeder began her patenting career when she was 14 years old. She put phosphorescent paint on paper under her writing paper so that she could write in the dark. This invention was later used in all sorts of ways. Doctors use it in hospitals to read patients charts at night without waking them, and astronauts use it when their electrical systems are turned down for recharging. Fourteenyearold Pamela Sica invented a pushbutton device that raises the floor of a car so that goods can be raised and easily removed. Her invention won a grand prize for her age group in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest. She wanted to patent her invention but found that it was too expensive. Eightyearold Chelsea Lannon received a patent in 1994 for the “pocket diaper(尿布)”, a diaper that has a pocket that holds things. She got her idea while helping her mother with her baby brotherwhile she was still in kindergarten!24. Which inventions won a prize in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest?A.The spoonshaped cracker and the shuttle restraining device.B.The shuttle restraining device and the Kiddie Stool.C.The Kiddie Stool and the pocket diaper.D.The spoonshaped cracker and the device that raises the floor of a car.解析：D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句和第七段第二句可知答案。25. What can we know from the passage?A.Theresa Thompson was the youngest child to make an invention.B.A Wigwarm can be used to make paper bags.C.Margaret Knight made more than one invention.D.Jeanie Low invented the spoonshaped cracker that can be eaten.解析：C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She went on to invent the machine”可知，Margaret Knight发明了不止一样东西。26. According to Paragraph 6, “phosphorescent paint” probably refers to a kind of paint that_ .A.can produce light in the darkB.is used to write thingsC.is produced in the darkD.is specially designed for doctors解析：A词义猜测题。根据第六段中的“so that she could write in the dark”可知答案。27. Which of the following inventions did NOT receive a patent?A.The Kiddie Stool.B.The machine that makes the squarebottom paper bags.C.The device that raises the floor of a car.D.The pocket diaper.解析：C细节理解题。根据第七段最后一句可知答案。 For thousands of years comets have been a mystery to man. They travel across the sky very fast and have a bright “tail” of burning gas. The comet Tempel 1 has an orbit far outside the orbit of the furthest planet in our solar system, Pluto. It has been there for 4.6 billion years, 133 million kilometers from Earth. Last week a little American spacecraft crashed into Tempel 1. The spacecraft had a camera and it took a photograph of the comet every minute before it finally crashed into its surface. The space mission to Tempel 1 cost $335 million and was called Deep Impact. The spacecraft was travelling at 37,000 kilometers per hour when it hit the comet and the crash completely destroyed the spacecraft. But before it hit the comet, the spacecraft took some amazing photographs. The last one was a closeup picture which the spacecraft took just 3 seconds before it crashed into the comet. “Right now we have lost one spacecraft,” said a delighted NASA engineer. Deep Impact was like an American Independence Day fireworks display. It took many years to plan and ended in an enormous explosion. The spacecraft which crashed into the comet was made of copper and was the size of a washing machine. It was dropped from a mothership into the path of the comet and the mothership then photographed the cloud of ice, dust and organic chemicals that rose from the surface of the comet after the crash. The crash completely destroyed the spacecraft but nothing really happened to the comet: experts believe that the crash slowed the comet down by no more than 1/10,000 of a millimeter a second.The aim of the mission was to study for the first time the interior of a comet.The mothership was 480 km from the explosion and observed the crash and the explosion with instruments for 800 seconds. Seven satellites, including the Hubble space telescope, watched the moment of drama, and over the next day and night about 50 telescopes on Earth were watching the distant comet.28. How many hours did it take for the spacecraft from the Earth to touch the comet Tempel 1?A.About 2,500.B.About 3,500.C.About 4,500.D.About 5,500.解析：B数字计算题。第一段讲到从Earth到Tempel 1的距离为133 million kilometers，而第二段讲到the spacecraft的速度是37,000 kilometers per hour。133 000 00037 000=3,594.6,故所需时间大约为3500小时。29. Which of the following shows the possible orbits and positions of the comet Tempel 1? S=Solar P=Pluto T= Tempel 1解析：C细节理解题。由第一段可知彗星Tempel 1的轨道远超出最远的行星Pluto的轨道，故选C。30. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 5? A.Position. B.Relation.C.Inside. D.Distance.解析：C词义猜测题。根据全文的中心以及该词的构成推测出答案。31. The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to_ .A.inform people the discovery of a new cometB.show the power of America in spaceC.introduce the knowledge of cometsD.introduce an experiment解析：D主旨大意题。本文讲述了美国一个著名的“深层碰撞”实验的目的、经过及结果，故选D。 Looking back on Chinas road to outer space, people can easily find it has not been very smooth. In the past years, Chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had for thousands of years. After Chinas first satellite into the Earths orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned Shenzhou missions from 1999 to 2002. The country carried out its first onepiloted space flight in October, 2003, making China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and the United States. Then came another breakthrough on October 12, 2005, when Shenzhou 6, Chinas second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. Whats more, the landmark(里程碑) spacewalk done by Zhai Zhigang, one of the three boarding Shenzhou 7, launched on September 25, 2008, leads the country further in its space exploration. Meanwhile, Chinas moon exploration project, started in 2004, has also been progressing satisfactorily. Fifty years after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the worlds first manmade satellite, Chinas first circumlunar(绕月的) satellite Change 1 took off on
