D．e【答案】15．DBBDC610．CBCAB1115．ACCAD【分析】本文主要介绍了日本清水公司要在太空上开设宾馆的计划，以及要实现该计划他们要做的准备工作。1．句意：如果你现在不到30岁，也许你能去太空度假！As作为；Or或者；But但是；If如果。根据句意可知，“you’reunder30now”是“perhapsyou’11beabletotakeaholidayinspace!”的假设条件，空处应是if引导的条件状语从句。故选D。2．句意：日本清水公司计划在15年内开设第一家太空酒店。plants种植；plans计划；phones打；picks捡起。根据“toopenthefirsthotelinspacewithin15years”可知，此处指考查plantodosth“计划做某事”，表示计划在15年内开设第一家太空酒店。故选B。3．句意：它希望在空间站提供3天的假期，这将比国际空间站更大。games游戏；holidays假期；breaks休息；camps露营。根据“holidaysinspace”可知，空处指假期。故选B。4．句意：然而，在太空度假将非常昂贵。enjoyable快乐的；high高的；slow矮的；expensive昂贵的。根据“About90,000dollarsforseventytwohours!”可知，在太空度假很昂贵。故选D。5．句意：清水相信有足够多的人愿意为此付出代价。hard努力的；terrible糟糕的；ready准备好的；interested感兴趣的。根据“believesthatthereareenoughpeoplewhowillbe....topaytheprice.”可知，此处考查bereadytodo“准备好做某事”，本句指的是有足够多的人愿意付高价去度假。故选C。6．句意：日本和美国的其他公司已经计划在月球上开酒店。change改变；make制造；open开；close关闭。根据上文“toopenthefirsthotelinspace”可知，这里说的是其他公司在月球上开酒店的计划。故选C。7．句意：清水公司对此很认真，但他们还不能开始建造太空旅馆。and和；but但是；so因此；then然后。根据句意可知，空前空后是转折关系，应用but连接。故选B。8．句意：首先，他们必须找到一架可以多次使用，也可以用于商业的航天飞机。few几乎没有的，修饰可数名词复数；little几乎没有，修饰不可数名词；many许多，修饰可数名词复数；abit一点，副词。times是可数名词复数，故排除B、D；根据常识可知，建造太空宾馆不是一天的事情，所以该航天飞机应是要被多次使用，故选C。9．句意：它们必须用不能重复使用的大火箭发射到太空。which哪一个；what什么；whom谁；where在哪里。该句是定语从句，先行词是abigrocket，表示物，且在句中作主语。所以用which作关系词。故选A。10．句意：在未来，航天飞机将能够自己起飞并且着落，可能就像飞机一样。stop停止；land着陆；fall落下；take带走。根据“beabletotakeoffand...onthegroundontheirown”可知，此处指飞机自主起飞或降落，与takeoff相对的是land。故选B。11．句意：但是，我们还没有这样的航天飞机。yet还，常用于否定句或疑问句；already已经；almost几乎；always总是。根据“don’t”可知，本句是否定句，表示还没有这样的飞机。故选A。12．句意：美国人正在为此努力，但这个计划不会在短时间内实现。workon对……起作用；cutout切断；etrue实现；pickup捡起。根据“buttheplanwillnot...inashorttime.”可知，此处指计划在短时间内无法实现。etrue符合语境。故选C。13．句意：还有其他大问题。methods方法；advantages优势；problems问题；characters特征。根据“thatisnottheonlydifficulty”可知，还有其他问题，故选C。14．句意：今天的宇航员在进入太空之前仍需要数月的训练。train训练；live居住；sleep睡觉；land土地。根据“taketoday’sastronauts（宇航员）monthsto...beforegoingintospace.”和“Theyhavetobeintopformbecausetheyneedstrongandhealthybodieswhenlivinginspace.”可知，进入太空前，宇航员需要数月的训练。故选A。15．句意：太空假期不会在明天出现，但总有一天会来的。go去；return返回；realize意识到；e来。根据“Holidaysinspacewillnotbeseentomorrow,”可知，此处指总有一天太空假期会来的，只有D选项符合语境。故选D。二、阅读单选AJupiteristhelargestplanetinoursolarsystemandismadeupofmanydifferentkindsofgases.Itissobigthat1,300EarthscouldfitinsideJupiter!Andithas79moons.Someofitsmoonsarelikesmallplanets,andothersarepiecesofrockandice.StudyingJupiter’smoonshashelpedscientistslearnmoreaboutthesolarsystem.ButthemoonthatscientistsaremostinterestedinisEuropa.TheconditionsonEuropamakeitthemostlikelyplacebeyondEarthtohavelifeinoursolarsystem.Itiscoveredinalayerofice,andsomescientistsbelievealiquid(流动的)oceanliesundertheicysurface.Ifthisistrue,Europamayhavesimpleformsoflifeintheseoceans.ThecreaturesonEuropawouldprobablybetoosmalltoseewithoutamicroscope(显微镜).ButtheideaofanythingatalllivingonEuropaisveryexciting.Rightnow,wecannotexploreEuropabecauseitistoocoldandtoofarawaytosendpeoplethere.Thespacecraftsandrobotswehavearenotdependableenoughtolandonthesurface.Butscientistshavebigplans.Inthefuture,theyhopetosendonerobottomelt(融化)someoftheiceonEuropa’ssurface,andanotherrobottoswimthroughitsoceans.TheinformationthattheserobotsgathercouldhelpfindoutwhetherthereislifeinEuropa’soceans.IfweeventuallyfindsomeformoflifeonEuropa,thenitisalmostcertainthatlifeformedindependentlyintwoplacesaroundthesamestar.Ifso,itwouldbereasonabletobelievethatlifespringsupintheuniversequiteeasilyoncetherearethenecessaryingredients,andthatlifemightbefoundthroughoutourgalaxy(银河系),andtheuniverse.IflifewerefoundonEuropa,howmightitchangeyourviewoftheuniverseandourplaceinit?16．Whatisthepassagemostlyabout?A．LifeonEuropa.
