答案以及解析第一部分阅读理解第一节A答案：(1).C;(2).D;(3).A

解析：(1).细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,作者小时候曾经想象过自已未来成为宇航员、西部牛仔、足球运动员,由此可知,作者小时候对未来有着美好的憧憬,故选C。

(2).细节理解题。由文章最后一段的内容可知,作者的哥哥藏巧克力蛋,作者的妹妹和作者来找,最后他们一起分享巧克力蛋。故选D。

(3).主旨大意题。文章描述了作者小时候丰富的想象力,也介绍了作者和兄弟姐妹一起玩的富有想象力的游戏,故选A。B答案：1.A;2.C;3.B;4.A

解析：1.细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知,科学家可以使地球增加60亿年的寿命,使其工作寿命加倍,故选A。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第五段可知,因为太阳的原因,地球将逐渐变热以至于不适于人类居住,这是科学家计划拯救地球的原因。

3.细节理解题。最后两段分别指出该计划可能带来的两大恶果:一是万一轨道计算出错会使彗星撞向地球,二是地球脱离原轨道后很可能会失去月球,从而导致气候剧变。

4.读图理解题。从文章中的叙述可知,图A最佳解释了这项计划的工作原理。C答案：1.C;2.B;3.A;4.D

解析：1.主旨大意题。通读第二段可知,本段主要讲人们对火星的一些传统认识,故选C项。

2.推理判断题。根据第三段的“Today,Marscontinuestoexcitehumans—notastheobjectofsciencefictionbutofscientificstudy.Spacescientistshavecollectedawealthofin-formation...”可推断现在的航天科学家们对火星很感兴趣。

3.推理判断题。根据第四段的“Hesaid.‘It’sactuallyorangishmorethanredandit’salsokindofbrown,too.”’可知,萨姆认为火星并不是红色的,而是橘黄色,甚至带一点儿褐色,故选A项。

4.推理判断题。根据末段的"aworldthattheyareverylikelytosetfootonwithintheirlifetimes”可知作者认为人类在接下来的几十年内就有可能登上火星。D答案：1.D;2.D;3.B;4.C

catchingonfire.Whowillsavetheworld?故选D。

2.词义猜测题。根据第二段ThisimaginativetaleisattheheartofthelatestChinesesci-fimovieTheWanderingEarth.UnlikemanyAmericanspace-themedfilmswherethesolutiontoadisasterEarthfacesisalwaysfleeingtheplanetinspaceships,thistimewe'retakingtheEarthwithus.这个充满想象力的故事是中国最新科幻电影《流浪地球》的核心。与许多美国太空主题电影不同,在这些电影中,地球面临灾难时的解决方案总是乘坐宇宙飞船逃离地球,而这次我们要把地球带上。不同的观点就是helpingEarthmakeitsescape帮着地球一起逃离,故选D。

3.细节理解题。根据第四段AvehidethatreallyexpressesourculturalandspiritualcorecanbecalledChinesesci-fi.Otherwise,we'rejustfollowingothersandtellingthesameHollywoodstories.可知,我们没有跟随其他人来讲述同样的好莱坞的故事,而是有自己的文化和精神核心。所以好莱坞的故事没有给这部电影带来成功。故选B。

4.主旨大意题。根据第二段Thefilm,whichhasmadeitthecountry’smostsuccessfulfilmofalltime,hasofferedadifferentandmoreambitiousidea.可知,中国科幻电影开辟了新的途径。故选C。第二节答案：CEDFA解析：本文介绍了第一片人造太空垃圾是一个破碎的卫星,因为它没有造成任何问题,所以科学家最初并没有关心太空垃圾,随着太空垃圾越来越多,科学家意识到如果不及时清理太空垃圾,人类将面临危险。1.

C解析:根据下文的信息“Scientistsarenowconcernedthatifwedon’tcleanitup...”可以推知上文和太空垃圾有关,故选C项。2.

E解析:根据上文“theAmericansatelliteVanguardIstoppedoperating”和下文的顺承关系可知,停止运作当然造成卫星和地面的中心失去联系,故E项合适。3.

D解析:这是本段的主题句,下文涉及太空中各种各样的垃圾,故本句选D项合适。4.

F解析:既然太空那么多的垃圾有可能会产生各种各样的危害,科学家当然要寻求解决的办法,本空的后面就是讨论它们的处理办法,故本题F项正确。5.

A解析:根据下文的信息“Theywillstoplitteringinspaceandtocleanupthetrashalreadythere.”和理解句意可知,they指的是manynations,这些国家在寻求合作以解决太空垃圾的问题,故本题A项正确。第二部分语言知识运用第一节答案：1.D;2.A;3.C;4.A;5.B;6.C;7.A;8.B;9.B;10.C;11.D;12.C;13.B;14.A;15.C

解析：1.根据下段中的Shehadinherarmsakidthat______crying.可知,一个孩子在哭。故选D项。

2.根据Shehadinherarmsakidthat____________

crying.并结合选项可知,只有A项符合语境。keepdoingsth意为“一直做某事”。

3.根据语境可知,作者告诉那位母亲,孩子需要有人抱着走走,然后她就会静下来睡觉。breakdown意为“出故障”;goahead意为“前进,进行”;settledown意为“定居;(使某人)安静下来”;setoff意为“出发;引起”。故选C项。

4.根据后文的mywrinkledfaceandwhilehair(Iwasalmost60)可推知,作者是四个“成年”孩子的父亲。故选A项。

6.根据空后的forthekid’snameandage可知作者是在“问"孩子的名字和年龄。故选C项。

7.根据常识和后文的walkedslowly可知,作者在哄孩子睡觉,所以是开始慢慢地走到经济舱的前面。故选A项。

8.根据常识,作者把孩子哄睡着了,自然要送回到妈妈那里,也就是回到妈妈的座位(seat)。故选B项。

9.根据上文的Itookthe

kidinmyarms及Ikeptwalkingforoverthreehoursandwalkedslowlyupanddown.可知在长达13个小时的航班上作者有四分之一的时间在抱着一个孩子。故选B项。

10.根据下文的wanting

toseethekid可知,航班上的女士们要看孩子,因为作者抱着孩子来回走,所以是让作者停下来。故选C项。

11.根据下文的“Four,”可知(一位女士)在问作者有几个孩子。

12.根据前文的Ihopethisisyourlastone可知,她认为作者是孩子的父亲。故选C项。
