being bought by chinese families.family cars are intended to be convenient, but will they really bring convenience to everyday life in a country with such a large population? moreover, driving cars will probably make people sit all the time without any exercise. it will do harm to their health. riding bicycles is much better. it is not practical for china to popularize family cars in the near future, especially in our big cities.there are a number of reasons why private cars are becoming popular in china. to start with, many people have become wealthy. they can afford to buy their own cars. besides, with their improved living conditions，many people think that they should have more comfortable means of travelling. they are no longer satisfied with bicycles or motorcycles. finally, new bank systems allow people to buy cars with loans. thus, more and more people have cars.however, private cars have caused some problems in china. one problem is traffic jams. with so many cars being used, the streets have become very crowded. the number of accidents has increased. another problem is air pollution. people are starting to complain of the waste gas given off by cars. fortunately, local governments have become aware of these problems and are trying their best to solve them.答案：15bbaca610caacc1115abbcb1620bcaac第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。athe rockets take astronauts and manmade satellites into space. the satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. but how do satellites stay up without falling down?there are two opposite forces acting on the satellite. one of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. the other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. this force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. with these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. the gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground)is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.everything that goes up has to come down. it is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. as time goes by，the satellite loses its speed，which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. this makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.21the force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by _.a. the earthb. the satellite itselfc. the rotation of the satellited. the rope解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“the gravitational pull of the earth .”可知地心引力来自于地球。答案：a22why cant the satellites fly away?a. because of the force from the earth.b. because the satellite is too big.c. because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.d. because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.解析：综合理解题。根据第二段第二句“. tries to pull the satellite towards the earth.”和最后一句“. keeps the satellite from flying away.”可知选a项。答案：a23the satellite will finally crash down to the earth _.a. when it flies fasterb. when its speed slows downc. when people cut the roped. when there is no electricity in it解析：细节理解题。根据短文后两句“. loses its speed . crash down to the earth.”可知选b项。答案：b24which of the following is true according to the passage?a. there are four forces acting on the satellite.b. the force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.c. as time goes by，the satellite will finally fall down.d. the satellite will stay in space forever.解析：综合理解题。通读全文，可知a、b、d三项不符合文意；c项与短文最后一段吻合。答案：cbfewer americans are reading newspapers and more americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country，according to a survey.not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the internet，while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the pew research centers survey on the ways of getting news said. pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online，but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. the pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.“like net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. however，they are older.” the survey said.pew found that the largest group of news consumers 46 percent of those surveyed watch television for their news at all times of the day. this group is the oldest，with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. they are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.the group that relies most on the internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. it is also the smallest group，at 13 percent of those surveyed. fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.the survey was conducted by princeton survey research associates international. it surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.25we can find this passage most probably _.a. in a textbookb. in a government reportc. in an advertisementd. on the internet解析：推理判断题。本文是一篇关于人们获取新闻方式的调查，根据最后一段“the survey was conducted by

_.a. younger b. olderc. poorer d. richer解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“. younger people tend to get more of their news on the internet .”可知，年轻人喜欢从网上获取新闻信息，故选a项。答案：a27according to the passage, net consumers and integrators _.a. are mostly old peopleb. have been welleducatedc. also like reading newspapersd. must have their own computers解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“like net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. however, they are older.”可知，网络新闻消费者与整合者一样，有着高等学历，年龄却较大，答案为b项。文章中并未提到他们绝大部分都是老人，故排除干扰项a。答案：b28whats the best title for this passage?a. advice on how to choose which media to get news.b. many people get their daily news on the internet.c. tv remains top source of news even as online grows.d. differences between the internet and traditional media.解析：主旨归纳题。本文是一项关于通过上网获取新闻及通过电视获取新闻的人数比例的调查。该调查显示尽管互联网发展迅速，电视仍然是人们最重要的消息来源，故选c项。答案：cca camera, a glove, a hand tool, even a toothbrush . they are all up there, above the clouds, going around and around the earth. there are also thousands of pieces of metal and plastic. some of them are only about the size of a fingernail. many are much larger. scientists consider all these objects to be space_junk，and they are a problem.since people first launched rockets into space in the 1950s，we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart. sometimes larger pieces survive the extreme heat through the atmosphere and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds.but space junk falling on housetops is not the biggest worry. scientists are concerned about the kessler syndrome. it is named after the american scientist who first thought of the idea in 1978. imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the earth. two big things become many smaller things. they then hit other things. the pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.marco castronuovo, an italian space agency researcher, suggested launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. the satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. when the rocket explodes，it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. after a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere.scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. right now，the costs of the cleanup have been too great. mr castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.29what does the underlined part “space junk” in paragraph 1 refer to?a. it refers to small pieces of things that were once bigger objects.b. it refers to objects that survived the extreme heat through the atmosphere.c. it refers to clouds that are made up of small objects in space.d. it refers to all kinds of objects that have been left behind in space.解析：细节理解题。从第二段第一句判断，space junk指人类在太空活动中遗留在太空的所有的物体，即“太空垃圾”。答案：d30why do scientists consider the kessler syndrome a big problem?a. space junk clouds are likely to block the path of spacecraft.b. an empty rocket might strike a spacecraft orbiting the earth.c. space junk might fall onto the earth, causing damage.d. space junk becomes bigger and bigger until hard to get rid of.解析：细节理解题。第三段介绍了kessler综合征，最后一句指出了其潜在的危险，即垃圾云有可能会阻碍未来太空飞行器的轨道。答案：a31what is mainly talked about in the passage?a. smaller objects come together to form clouds of space junk.b. human beings are responsible for space junk.c. space junk is a big problem human beings have to find ways to solve.d. an italian researcher has found a good way to remove space junk.解析：主旨归纳题。本文介绍了太空垃圾及其危害，还介绍了科学家正在研究清理太空垃圾方法的情况，故c项最能概括全文的内容。答案：c32what is the authors attitude towards marco castronuovos method of cleaning up space junk?a. doubtful. b. objective.c. favorable. d. disapproving.解析：推理判断题。作者在文中只是客观介绍castronuovo提出的清理太空垃圾的方法，没有做任何评论，因此其态度是客观的。答案：bdan old german satellite fell to the earth on saturday after orbiting in space for more than a decade，but officials do not yet know where it fell.“there is currently no confirmation if pieces of debris (碎片) have reached the earths surface，” german aerospace officials said in a statement.while the 21yearold satellite broke apart as it reentered earths atmosphere, german aerospace officials estimated that up to 30 pieces totaling 1.9 tons could reach the surface of the planet.the satellite, which weighs 5,348 pounds, was launched into orbit in june 1990 to study xray radiation from stars and black holes. the satellite was originally designed for a 19month mission, but it continued to work for far longer than its projected lifetimes. in 1998，some parts of the satellite failed and it retired in 1999. it was initially estimated that the german satellite could fall to the earth in november. even in the last days，the satellite still circled the planet every 90 minutes, making it hard to predict where on earth it would eventually come down. but increased solar activity caused the satellites orbit to decay (衰退) faster than originally expected.the old german satellite was the second one to fall uncontrolled from space within a 30day period. on sept. 24, a 6. 5ton american climate satellite fell into the pacific ocean. it was the largest satellite to fall uncontrolled from orbit since 1979.the german satellites fall from space, and the american satellite before it, cause the world to pay much attention to the growing problem of debris in space. there are fears that they would hit a populated area and cause damage o
