Question

　　Yang Liwei circled the earth 14 times in 21 hours on October 15 and 16, 2003, landing on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Looking a little tired, Yang stepped out of Shenzhou V, smiling and waving at the waiting people. “I feel very good,” Yang said to Premier Wen Jiabao on the phone. Yang said to a newspaper, “To our motherland and me, this is a great moment.”

　　China's launch of Shenzhou V shows a higher starting point. It has two special systems (系统) to protect the spaceman, but neither Russian rockets (火箭) nor American ones have.

　　Yang didn't know that he was chosen as China's first spaceman until just before the launch. Although Yang was excited at the news, he still slept at 8 p. m. as usual and was woken up at 2 a. m. the next morning. Before the launch, Yang ate Chinese traditional food—dumplings. We all know that travelers usually eat them before going on a journey for good luck.

Answer 1

答案：C;C;D;A;C
解析：

整体把握：2005年10月中国又成功地发射了一次载人宇宙飞船，但是我永远不会忘记杨利伟——第一位进入太空的中国人，他在2003年10月16日从太空成功返回的前后背景，你知道吗？认真阅读吧。 (1) 点拨：由第一段第一句话得知。21÷14＝1.5。 (2) 点拨：从第一段得知。 (3) 点拨：从整篇短文看，杨利伟的确把这次飞行引以为豪。 (4) 点拨：从第二段第一句话可知“神州V”的成功发射显示了更高的起点。 (5) 点拨：从短文最后一段可知，中国发行一张特定时刻、事件的邮票，是为了祝贺这次发射成功的。
