23、e the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. The Earth has a force that pulls things toward it. We call this force gravity（引力）. This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it.

24、 But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overcome if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all.*学校*考号：*姓名：* 共5页 第2页黄石理工学院2009年专升本 英语 试卷Take the throwing of a ball as an example. The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the sec

25、ret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The speed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed required for the ball to escape completely from

26、 the Earth's gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour. Once a spacecraft has reached escape speed, no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will "coast"（滑行）the rest of the way because the Earth's gravity cannot then

27、 pull it back, and there is no air resistance in space to slow it down. This "coasting" is known as "free fall". That does not mean the rocket is falling down towards the Earth butthat it is traveling freely in space without the aid of power, like abicycle coasting downhill.Free

28、fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time.36.

31、 affected by the Earth's gravity D) does not meet with air resistance40.Why is it NOT necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time?A) Few spacecraft complete their flight operations.B) The spacecraft will be attracted by the Moon. C) No further power is needed after the escape speed

32、 is reached.D) "Free fall" takes the place of the Earth's gravitational pull.Task 2Directions: this task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain al

33、one, but that ones muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to

34、music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra（交响乐） even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior

35、may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the me

36、ntal process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.41Some psychologists maintain that thinking is _Anot a mental processBmore of a physical process than a mental actionCa process that involves our entire bodies Da process that involves the
