It is interesting how NASA(美国航空航天管理局)chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men 26 the age of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them, Many were 27 air pilots. 28 were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose; told him the plans and the 29 they might get in. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut. “How could any man 30 such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous 31 most exciting”
The health and physical condition of 32 was, of course, very necessary. 33 those in very good health and physical condition were chosen.
While being trained to be astronauts. They went through many 34 . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary 35 astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the 36 of the moon. They were all 37 to fly in helicopters （直升飞机）。These helicopters landed 38 down to give them some experience of the way the spaceship would 39 land on the moon , They were also taught the 40 facts about the conditions in space. They learnt all the technical details of the spaceships and rockets. They visited the scientists and engineers who 41 them. They visited the factories where they were 42. They learnt how every 43 of a space-ship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control 44 .
In a word, to be chosen as an astronaut. One must be in good health, 45 in science and good at piloting.

试题分析：
1.句意“在26岁和35岁之间进行筛选”，故between...and容易误选为at。At the age of...在某人多少岁时。
2.句意为：他们是有经验的，老练的。在这里old不是岁数的意思比experienced 更贴切。
3.上文中的many相对应。句意为：其他人是拥有的两个或三个学位的科学家。
4.因为是航天可能会深陷于危险之中，同用in danger.
5.根据下文人们都很珍惜这次被选中的机会，在兴奋和危险之间，他们都敢于冒险，不会拒绝这份冒险的工作。注意此处用了一个疑问句。accept 主观接受receive 客观接受offer主动提供
6.But, 但是，他们更看重后者。根据上文“任何人都不会拒绝这份令人激动的工作”可知。
7.被选中的飞行员的身体健康状况非常重要。根据上下文多次提及Pilot可知。
8.只有身体条件符合的才能被选中。最后一段One must be in good health可知。
9.根据下文They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks.学习天体，地理等可知，必须学习很多相关的课程。Ways 方面，欠具体。
10.前后句构成因果关系，学习岩石科学知识很必要，因为宇航员在月球上必须寻找岩石。for表补充说明的原因; since表显而易见的原因，“既然”。
11.根据岩石构成以辨别月球的年代。Background背景
12.飞行员们也在特殊直升机上进行模拟训练。Train 训练 show展示
13.直升机的垂直下降为月球上的真实着陆提供了经验。 straight 径直的，径直地，形容词副词directly 直接地，副词
14.Really，真实情况。possibly 可能主语为物 likely很可能主语可以是人或物 actually 实际上
15.他们也会被教授一些太空中的已经知道的事实。Well-known 著名的 unknown 不为人所知的
16.他们拜访设计太空飞船和火箭的科学家。Them指的是the technical details of the spaceships and rockets，当然是科学家设计的。draw 画的 produce产生 make制作
17.他们也拜访生产飞船和火箭的工厂。
18.他可以了解太空船和其设备的每个部件是如何运行的。
19.他们也要学习基本操作系统的每个细节。
20.一个宇航员必须身体健康，精通航天科学，并且擅长飞行技术。well-done干得好的 well-fed 营养充足的 well- kept 保存完好的 well-informed熟悉的，博学多
考点：本文是一篇说明文。
点评：本文是一篇说明文，讲述了美国航天员的筛选过程和具体细节。难度中等。本文在命题上注重上下文的内在联系，重点考察了上下文逻辑，词义辨析，包括名词（6个），形容词（4个）和连词（3个），介词，代词，副词（2个），动词（4个）在语境中的具体区别。在解题过程中要抓住文章的结尾这一主题句，就容易理顺思路，围绕三个方面in good health, well-informed in science and good at piloting展开。这就告诉我们在做完形时，一定不要急于求成，要遵循：一看标题，二看句首，三看句尾的好习惯，真正把握文章主旨后，再顺藤摸瓜就容易做对了。

If you travel around the world , you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be from your own .
A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table . The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself . Also in India , you might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume that he is disagreeing . But in many parts of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement of acceptance .
Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty . In that country you shake your head to indicate “yes” —a nod indicates “no”. The Arabs are known for their hospitality . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula , you will find that any drinking vessel （容器，器皿）is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink it up .
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone , even at an important meeting . Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand , however , could cause offence . It is too informal an attitude for such an occasion . Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult —it’s just not done . In Japan , it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home . In Europe such attitudes are disappearing .
Customs vary from country to country . Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment . In such circumstances , the golden rule to follow is : When in Rome , do as the Romans do .

One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 21 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 22 which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 23 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.
Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 24 that the most able groups are 25 and are bored while the least able are lost and 26 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have 28 it a few years later. Because they never need it, they do not practice it.
Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 29 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.
21. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of
22. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods
23. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature
24. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique
25. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind
26. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly
27. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular
28. A. needed B. forgotten C. practised D. left
29. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn
30. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharing
