【题目】 Muriel’s home was a pleasant three-bedroomed house in a suburb(郊区) of Manchester. The family, made up of two girls and a boy, had been raised there. One had already left home, and the day was not far off when the other two would leave for London and the start of their careers.

The house now lacked for nothing. The expensive days schooling and providing for a growing family were over. The husband’s salary as an engineer provided holidays in Spain, a-year-old family car, a colour television (not rented now, thanks to a bargain offer in a January sale).

Life was good until Muriel, returning from shopping in the city centre, found she had been burgled. It was bad enough that the windows in the dining-room had been forced open and $20 in cash in the kitchen drawer stolen, but the damage aged Muriel immediately.

A booted foot had broken the television screen. House plants had been torn from their pots and threw against walls. There was a horror in the kitchen. Three fish were dead on the floor, their heads stamped and crushed(碎). The water from the fish tank had soaked(浸泡) the fitted carpet. Kitchen drawers had been pulled out and the contents were everywhere over the floor.

It was the same story in each room. Muriel found she could not sleep. The extra sherry(雪莉酒) at night did not work. The doctor later gave her tranquilizers(镇静剂). Finally her husband made the only decision he could. They had to sell and move from the home where they had planned to spend the rest of their lives.

The tragedy is that each year there are many thousands of Muriels.

1The incident was particularly sad for Muriel because ________

A.she had her $20 stolen

B.she became old immediately

C.her hard days of providing for a growing family were just over

D.the house was completely in a terrible mess .

2What happened to the fish in the kitchen?

A.The burglars ate them.

B.They ran away from home when Muriel was shopping.

C.They jumped out of the fish tank and travelled around the house.

D.They were dead.

3The word “burgle” means ________.

A.谋杀B.抢劫C.失窃D.纵火

4Why couldn’t Muriel sleep? ________.

A.Because she drank too much wine

B.Because her children would leave her

C.Because she wanted to move house

D.Because she was shocked badly by the incident

5What can we learn from this passage?

A.The Muriel incident is a daily occurrence nowadays.

B.Muriel reported the incident to the police as soon as she found she had been burgled.

C.Muriel used to be an engineer.

D.Muriel spent the rest of her life in Spain.

【题目】 In 1969, as US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, he famously declared, ‘That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.’ And as many countries come together to celebrate World Space Week from Oct 4-10, it seems that there are still many leaps to take.

During ancient times, our only steps were back and forth across the surface of our own planet. We climbed to the top of mountains, or sailed in boats across oceans. But we didn’t, and couldn’t, leave the surface of our planet.

It’s not surprising that back then, the so-called heavens fascinated(使着迷) us so much. How could they not? How could people not be obsessed with the great object in the sky that arrived each day with light and then left, taking the light with it? Or the mysterious moon, stars and planets that lit up the night sky? Compared with us, these things seemed so free and exciting. Different cultures created stories about the heavens. The Chinese referred to a ‘King of the Sky’ who created the heavens and decorated them with stars; the ancient Greeks had ‘the Sky Gods’ who controlled the weather.

Few of us believe those stories anymore – science has taught us better. And yet the heavens, or what we now call ‘space’ and ‘outer space’, are still a source of mystery and fascination for us. Yes, there are space stations, satellites and trips to other planets. None of this modern science, however, has made space any less fascinating to us.

As the American scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson said, ‘The universe is under no obligation (义务) to make sense to you.’ The more we know, the more our curiosity grows.

Even today, the most popular novels and movies are set on other planets, solar systems (太阳系) or galaxies (星系). Space is still mysterious, as it was for the ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans. And perhaps it always will be.

1The author used Neil Armstrong’s story to ______.

A.describe how the celebration of World Space Week began

B.draw attention to great achievements in space exploration

C.explain why human beings are curious about outer space

D.predict(预报) future space programs that might change history

2The underline word ‘obsessed’ in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

A.happyB.interestedC.satisfiedD.bored

3Compared with modern people, ancient Greeks ______.

A.didn’t leave many records of space objects

B.believed the King of the Sky controlled the weather

C.shared a similar curiosity about the universe

D.showed little respect for the power of nature

4What’s the article mainly about?

A.Important events in space exploration history.

B.Human’s unchangeable interest in space.

C.Ancient stories inspired(激发,产生) by the heavens.

D.What we have learned about the universe.
