    MOSCOW(Reuters) – Russia hopes the United States will extend the deadline to retire its space shuttles beyond 2011 and has heard unofficially it is possible, the head of Russia"s space agency was quoted as saying on Friday.

    The U.S. space agency NASA(美国宇航局) plans six more missions by its fleet of aging space shuttles by late next year or early 2011 after the construction of the $100 billion International Space Station (ISS) is completed. The shuttles will then be retired. But the head of Roscosmos, Russia"s space agency, said he would prefer to see further shuttle missions to the Space Station, now in orbit 360 km (225 miles) above Earth. "From some sources we have learned that it is possible to extend the life of the shuttle beyond 2011," Roscosmos chief Anatoly Perminov was quoted by RIA news agency as saying. Reuters was not invited to the briefing(简报会). "Then the situation would change substantially and it would be possible to work jointly with the Americans, unlike now, when the main burden (for the ISS) lies with the Russian side," Perminov was quoted as saying by Interfax. Perminov said he had not been told this through official channels, Interfax news agency reported. He added that NASA"s new chief and former astronaut Charles Bolden would visit Russia"s Baikonur cosmodrome on September 30 in his first foreign trip.

    NASA"s future strategy is currently under review with the main focus on possible flights to Mars. It is also encouraging a private space taxi project to the ISS. NASA"s current plan, conceived under former President George Bush after the Columbia accident, is to complete the space station, retire the shuttles and build new spaceships. A new rocket and capsule to transport astronauts to the ISS is also being developed but will not be operational until about 2015. Until then, NASA will rely on Roscosmos and must pay $50 million per seat for flights to the ISS by Soyuz capsules.

    The U.S., Russian and Chinese governments are the only entities currently capable of human orbital space flight, although several U.S. companies are developing vehicles and support services to do so.

    1.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

             A．NASA agrees to extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2011.

             B．Reuters was not invited to the briefing.

             C．The US would work jointly with Russia.

             D．NASA’s new chief would visit Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome.

    2.NASA’s current plan includes all the following EXCEPT       .

             A．completing International Space Station

             B．flights to Mars

             C．retiring the current space shuttles

             D．building new spaceships

    3.If the US doesn’t extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2011,         .

             A．International Space Station will be quit

             B．Roscosmos will have to build more spaceships

             C．NASA will have to quicken the development of the new rocket and capsule

             D．Roscosmos will be burdened with the transportation to ISS

    4.We can infer from the passage that        .

             A．China has already been involved in the project of flights to Mars

             B．it is certain the NASA will retire the current space shuttles as planned

             C．NASA is considering Russia’s suggestion

             D．NASA will be able to provide a private space taxi project to the ISS by 2015.

    For many people, the name Baskin-Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream．Irvine Robbins, who helped create this famous company, died in May at the age of ninety．His life's work of making fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this food．

             Irvine Robbins opened his first ice cream store in 1945 in California．At the time, there were no stores that sold only ice cream．His sister's husband, Burton Baskin, also opened his own ice cream stores．

             In 1948 they combined their six stores into one business．Baskin and Robbins realized that they were too busy to operate each store well．So, they decided to sell part of each operation to the manager of that store．This permitted the company to grow quickly．

             By 1953, they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins．They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of ice cream to show the many choices buyers had．There was one flavor for every day of the month．

             Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969．Other flavors included "ChaChaCha", for cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins' personal favorite "Jamoca Almond Fudge"．They said: "We sell fun, not just ice cream．"

            By 1967, there were 500 Baskin-Robbins stores in the United States．The business partners sold their company that year．Today, there are more than 5,800 Baskin-Robbins stores around the world．

    第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）challenger，in June，1983. The achievement of Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space，made this flight especially memorable. Students from two Camden, New Jersey, high schools, however, are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.

    　　Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 100 companions along with her. Norma was an ant，a queen ant who，with her subject，made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.

    　　The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem didn’t occur in space，but on the ground after challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was moved. The hot，dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.

    　　The project was termed success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to pinpoint（精确找到）what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from reoccurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the demise of the ants or by the $ 10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.

    51．What does the passage mainly tell us？

    A．Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut.

    B．How to keep ants alive in space.

    C．How to make equipment for insects in space.

    D．An experiment with ants in space.

    52．According to the passage, we know that the underlined word“demise”is another word for“_____”.

    A．death 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　B．colony

    C．insect　　　　　　　　　　　　　　D．moisture

    53．We don’t think the project was a failure. This is because_____.

    A．everything went as smoothly as expected

    B．the students had pinpointed exactly the reason

    C．something important had been learned

    D．the students had succeeded in the experiment

    54．We can conclude that ants _____ on the next space trip.

    A．will have to be kept alive in a container full of water

    B．will have to be sent into space with the first woman astronaut

    C．should be put into a container where there is enough food

    D．should be put into a container which is not too dry
