解析【文章大意】文章介绍了“海盗一号”无人宇宙飞船在火星登陆的情况。
【小题1】选A。根据文章倒数第三段可知“海盗一号”宇宙飞船由orbiter和lander两部分组成, 到了火星上空两部分分离。
【小题2】选C。根据常识判断宇宙飞船应该在飞行时是很快的, 在遇到阻力时才会减速, 这也与后面飞行减缓后的“slowly”相对应。
【小题3】选D。thin可以修饰air和atmosphere, 但是只有atmosphere符合语境, 火星的大气减慢它的飞行, 而且与后文也一致。
【小题4】选A。rocket的作用就是通过发射把lander送到火星上, 着陆时需要对地面的反推力才不至于着陆太猛。
【小题5】选B。因为前面所述的各种措施, 如降落伞、火箭发动机等, 所以是轻轻着陆。
【小题6】选A。“海盗一号”是无人载飞船, 所以只能通过电脑发送信息说其在工作。
【小题7】选B。根据上下文, message以光速“传播”, spread“扩散”; shoot“发射”; move“移动”。
【小题8】选D。表示距离时, 如果有具体的数字, 后面应是away。
【小题9】选C。火星登陆成功, 人们欢呼起来, shout“大喊”; watch“看”; welcome“欢迎”。
【小题10】选C。在屏幕上show“显示”发送回来的图片, 其他三项意思不符。
【小题11】选A。火星上的土壤是红色的, 所以后面第二句提到红色的火星表面。
【小题12】选B。这些照片是在火星上拍摄的, 所以是close look“近看”, real不修饰look。
【小题13】选B。根据常识可知, 火星上没有生命的迹象, 更没有树和人。
【小题14】选A。宇宙飞船有两部分, 由下一句话可得知答案。
【小题15】选D。circle around Mars环绕火星飞行。
【小题16】选B。examine指“检验”。enter“进入”, collect“收集”, discover“发现”都不合适。
【小题17】选B。由上文可知, 宇宙飞船分两部分, 前面介绍了orbiter, 这里介绍lander。
【小题18】选D。在火星上, “海盗一号”只能通过一些科学仪器对火星上的土壤和岩石进行检验。
【小题19】选C。由前文中“full of rocks”可知答案。
【小题20】选D。着陆器把在火星上得到的信息传给轨道飞行器, 然后传到地球上来。

For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a   36  performer carefully steps   37  a bed of burning coals -- barefoot.

As it turns   __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as   40 . “The coals are hot enough to   41__  you, but if you walk quickly across them you   42  being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
That’s because some coals are made   43   burning wood chips. Wood has two   44__   properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(绝缘体)--it doesn’t   __45  heat very well. “It   46 _ time for heat to travel   47  the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal   48 , that would truly be   49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would   50  burn a performer’s feet.
Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to   51  its temperature. Heat is a form of   52 . Temperature is a   53  of heat, in units of degrees. So   54  the coals are hot, the value(数值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can   55  such an amazing result.
Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?

Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely   36  from all other animals. Language is a means of   37  , but it is much more than that. Many animals can   38  . The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers   39  other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything,   40  things like unicorns (独角兽) that have never existed. The key   41  in the fact that different words can be   42  together in different ways, according to   43  to communicate different meanings.
Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing can   44  humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract   45 , whether about the university, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an extremely complex   46  that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most   47  of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to   48  . The speaker has to translate thoughts into  49  language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the   50  of speech is extremely fast. Only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to   51   what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to   52  the spoken words, understand the pattern of   53  of the words (sentences), and finally   54  the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a(n)    55  process.

The wife and I    for a long time. She told me how      she was about her husband who was      a heart operation. At that time I was working as a researcher in the same    where the husband would be going for his operation,      I told her to set down my phone number and      me to let me know when he was there. She phoned a few weeks later as      and told me that her husband was admitted to the hospital and      waiting. I told her that I would go and cheek on him every day when I was at     . I thought that if it was my dad, I would do the same, so I was determined to keep      with them. Weeks turned into months and it just became my      to see them and keep track of how things were going before, during and after the heart operation.
Sometimes I’d bring a      for him to read, or some food that we would      together. As time went by, it seemed like I became part of the     . Even after the husband returned from the hospital, we still often     each other on holidays. Now, ten years later, I have my own     .
Since our parents don’t      close by, this couple has become my son’s “local” grandparents. My wife and I often feel truly      to have this couple as our “local” parents! Sometimes family comes out of the most unexpected place.
