3.A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.
13.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?D
A.They were made last week
B.They showed undersea sceneries
C.They were found by a cameraman
D.They recorded a disastrous adventure
14.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?C
A.Frank Hurley          
B.Ernest Shackleton
C.Robert Falcon Scott     
D.Caroline Alexander
15.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage?C
A.Artistic creation       
B.Scientific research
C.Money making        
D.Treasure hunting.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了Frank的图片记录了一次不成功的航海活动,文章讲述的是与之相关的具体内容.

解答 13.D.细节理解题.根据文章第二段:they were shot from 1914through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival;可知这张图片记录了一次海难;故选D.
14.C.细节理解题.根据文章第三段:Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back队长史葛已到达南极点1912但是早已经死了他的四个伙伴在前进路上;可知是Robert Falcon Scott先到达南极;故选C.
15.C.细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二句"…start a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography"可知Alexander认为他的这次航行就是为了挣钱.故C项正确.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10am and it was already 8:30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tire of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said,"Well,I could take you to the office for your interview.It's the least I could do.Please.I insist."Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one,the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed look on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked,"Do you really need to be interviewed?"Jimmy's heart sank."With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?"he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
"Sorry I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office.I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations!"Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

9.Working outside the International Space Station (ISS),an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris(碎片)that damages his spacesuit.Alarmed,he realizes he's just seconds from disaster.Moving fast,his prepared robot partner slaps(拍打)an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit.Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS.Inside,the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker's life controls everything the robot avatar has done-including rescuing its human partner-while it works outside the space station.
R2:The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers,whether they're as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base.Space-travelling avatars,controlled remotely by humans are still a concept.But earlier in the year 2011,NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time.It's called R2,short for Robonaut 2.The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested.
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts."Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,"says NASA's Matt Ondler.R2 is controlled by humans using laptops. It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks,such as"find an object."In most situations,humans are still far better with their hands than robots.But that's not necessarily true in space,where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves.And since they don't need to eat,breathe,or go to the bathroom,robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs.
R2 isn't ready for spacewalks yet,but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible."Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D's:jobs that are dirty,dull,and dangerous,"says Ondler.
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon.Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human.A robot is stronger,can survive in tighter spaces,and doesn't need air.Even better,robots don't care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth.
Once on the moon,the robonaut could perform experiments,send live video back to Earth,talk to classrooms full of kids,and explore the lunar surface.R2 will be able to move using legs,or by attaching its torso(躯干)to a four-wheeled rover(探测器) and becoming part of vehicle.And when R2's battery is low,it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice.All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself.But for difficult tasks,a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game.NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions.So the next time your mom complains that you're spending too much time on video games,just tell her you're training for a job with NASA.

51.In paragraph1,the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident toD.
    A.stress the danger of an astronaut's walk in space
    B.tell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronaut
    C.show his concern for the present situation of space walk
    D.introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts
52.Why does the writer say Robonaut 2 is"The Real Deal"?A
    A.It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs.
    B.It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D's.
    C.It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings.
    D.It proves to be a good companion for space travelers.
53.By saying"All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!",the writer means thatB.
    A.an ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings
    B.an ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth
    C.a future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover
    D.a future robot is stronger and will handle any difficulty in space easily
54.It can be learned from the passage thatC.
    A.the future R2 will perform experiments without human control
    B.humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space
    C.someday humans might control an avatar on the moon
    D.sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot.
