A.howmuchexercisetheydoonthestationB.howtheycanremainhealthyforlonginspaceC.whethertheycanrecoverafterreturninghomeD.whethertheyareabletogobacktothestation答案B解析推理推断题。依据文章最终一段的“Thefocusonfitnessisasmuchaboutscienceandthefutureasitisaboutkeepinganyindividualastronauthealthy.”可知,宇航员的身体状况是美国国家航空航天局关切的问题之一。故选B项。CEversinceGrumpyCatfirstappearedonline,theInternetcan’tgetenoughofher.Butattentionisnottheonlythingthatthiscatisgetting.Herfortuneisestimatedat$100million,morethanmanyfamousactorsandmusiciansearn.

41.A.madeB.carriedC.searchedD.found答案D解析他在一个洞窟里发觉了(found)一个帆布袋子。42.A.anyone B.someoneC.noone D.everyone答案B解析像是有人(someone)制作的泥球。依据语境可知此处不能用“任何人”或“每一个人”之意;而noone的意思和语境不符。43.A.light B.shade C.sun D.sand答案C解析句中bake的意思是“烤,烘”,联系这个意思可知应当是将泥球放在阳光(sun)下。light“光线”;shade“阴影”;sand“沙子”。44.A.interested B.disturbedC.disappointed D.satisfied答案A解析它们看上去没有什么,但是却引起了这个人的爱好。“打搅”“使悲观”或“使满足”都不符合语境。45.A.wall B.beach C.street D.road答案B解析依据文章首句可知,他是在沿着沙滩(beach)走。46.A.long B.high C.deep D.far答案D解析前面提到他往海里扔泥球,由此可知,他想尽可能地扔远(far)一些。47.A.before B.after C.until D.while答案C解析他几乎什么也没考虑,直到(until)其中的一个泥球在岩石上摔破了。48.A.precious B.specialCmon D.expensive答案A解析文中多次提到treasure等相关信息,所以此处指“珍贵的宝石”。很明显,选项中special和common在这里不合适,而语境中也不是强调价格,故D项也不对。49.A.Surprised B.Puzzled C.Worried D.Excited答案D解析看到泥球里面的宝石,他当然是很兴奋(excited)。surprised“惊讶的”;puzzled“怀疑不解的”;worried“担忧的”。50.A.covered B.buried C.contained D.followed答案C解析联系上一段中的“hedroppedoneoftheclayballsanditcrackedopenonarock”可知,泥球里包有(contained)宝石。“覆盖”“埋藏”或“跟随”都不符合语境。51.A.invented B.left C.accepted D.kept答案B解析依据上文中的theremainingclayballs等信息,可知这里指他剩下的(left)泥球。invent“独创”;accept“接受”;keep“保存”。52.A.struck B.changedC.reminded D.borrowed答案A解析然后他猛地意识到了(struck)。53.A.Exceptfor B.AccordingtoC.Judgingfrom D.Insteadof答案D解析不是(insteadof)数千美元的珠宝,而是会有数万美元的珠宝带回家。exceptfor“除了”;accordingto“依据”;judgingfrom“由……推断”。54.A.so B.and C.but D.or答案C解析依据上下文的语境可知,此处是转折意义。而so表示因果关系;and表示并列关系;or表示选择关系。55.A.life B.people C.work D.study答案B解析依据下文中的someone等信息可知,这里说的是“人们也像这个样子”。56.A.ignore B.enjoy C.destroy D.love答案A解析一些人的外在并不总是漂亮或闪光的,所以我们忽视(ignore)了。57.A.clever B.dangerousC.funny D.important答案D解析漂亮的、时髦的、出名的、富有的人往往在我们的心目中更重要(important)。58.A.wasted B.shared C.taken D.passed答案C解析但是我们没有花费(take)时间去发觉藏在那个人内心的宝藏。59.A.present B.treasure C.habit D.history答案B解析结合上文中的“Butwehavenotthetimetofindthetreasurehiddeninsidethatperson.”等信息可知,此处指藏在人们内心的宝藏(treasure)。present“礼物”;habit“习惯”;history“历史”。

60.Aeoff B.dryup C.moveon D.givein答案A解析假如我们花时间去了解那个人,外在的“泥土”就会渐渐脱落(comeoff),内心的“宝藏”起先发光。其次节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Theadobedwellings(土坯房)61.(build)bythePuebloIndiansoftheAmericanSouthwestareadmiredbyeven62.mostmodernofarchitectsandengineers.Inadditiontotheirsimplebeauty,whatmakestheadobedwellingsadmirableistheir63.(able)to“aircondition”ahousewithout64.(use)electricequipment.Wallsmadeofadobetakeintheheatfromthesunonhotdaysandgiveoutthatheat65.(slow)duringcoolnights,thuswarmingthehouse.Whenanewdaybreaks,thewallshavegivenuptheirheatandarenowcoldenough66.(cool)thehouseduringthehotday
