    试题分析：本文讲解的是关于世界上最快的客机——协和式飞机（CONDORDE）的发展史。３３年的历史、英法联手打造、耗资十多个亿、两倍于声速……
    小题1:结合上文可知it指的是前文提到的协和飞机，本句如选invented或 produced，得用被动语态，took off是“起飞”的意思，这里意指“它第一次飞行是在……”因此，用flew最为恰当。句意为：他在1969年3月2日首飞。故选C。
    小题2:联系上下文可知句意为：从1956年开始这两个国家就有一个关于超音速客机的梦想，故选B。
    小题3:work on 从事，致力于。句意：在1962年他们开始一起从事这个项目。故选A。
    小题4:cost“耗资”。paid，wanted的主语应是人，needed指根据计划需要耗资等的数量，cost本身就表示花费成本的数量。联系下文15亿英镑，主语为物，故选D，研制这个飞机花费了15亿英镑。
    小题5:词义辨析。Voice嗓音； sound指一般声音；noise噪音；shout喊声。联系上文可知句意为协和客机以两倍音速飞行。此处泛指普通声音，speed of sound意为“声速”故选 B。
    小题6:考查take表示花费的用法。主语是it可知选A。句式：it takes some time/money to do sth。
    小题7:根据上下文之间的联系，意为“你坐协和式飞机从London到New York，有可能已经到了New York，而还没离开London。（这是由于时差）。
    故选A。
    小题8:catch the flight 意为“赶上某次航班”。故选C。
    小题9:根据上文可知句意为：一小时后在纽约开始工作，故选B，an hour later，一小时后。
    小题10:通过上下文可知，这两个机场所拥有的协和式飞机最多。故选D。
    点评：本题短文内容不难理解，但是部分小题与上下文联系不大，部分题型甚至可以独立成题。因此在解答中有必要认真分析，把他们当成一个独立的选择题来对待。完成后多读几遍，看看上下文是否语句通顺，符合逻辑关系。

    If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle （吹口哨）three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again.

They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
    If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches（树枝. Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.
    When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.

    Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.
    You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.
    First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze(结冰) again.
    After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!
    This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again.

    We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
    A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
    But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
