题目列表(包括答案和解析)

  The holiday shopping season is once again upon us.The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift.The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact.

  Even if you don’t involve yourself with holiday gift buying,you could end up a victim of theft.Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper.Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity at this time of year.

  They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round.They’ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it.Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December.College students are not an exception to the rule!

  As a member of our university community,you’re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year.Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls.Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around.The sights,sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency.

  Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes.And this is the sort of crime that you’re most vulnerable to,especially when you find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages.However,as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior,there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim.So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips.

1.The author is most probably     .

  A.a newspaper reporter

  B.a novelist

  C.a member of university community

  D.a police spokesman

 

2.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

  A.Shoppers.           B.Thieves.

  C.Personal safety issues.       D.College students.

 

3.Why is a person more likely to become a victim of theft during holiday shopping?

  A.Because he often has much to buy.

  B.Because he often does shopping in a hurry.

  C.Because there are crowds of shoppers.

  Encouraged by the success of its first manned space mission, China says it is looking to launch(发射)another Shenzhou spacecraft within "one or two years' time" and is pushing ahead with plans to develop a permanently manned presence iu space.

  In comments reported just hours after the Shenzhou V's safe return to Earth, the official Xinhua news agency quoted(引用)a leading space official as saying China's next steps would be to work on launching a space laboratory and then a space station into orbit(轨道).

  "The successful mission of Shenzhou V is the first step of China's space program." the agency quoted Zhang Qingwei as saying.

  Although Zhang gave few details and no specific timescale for the plans, the announcement is the clearest official statement to date concerning China's plans for space exploration.

  Speaking later at a Beijing news conference, Xie Mingbao, director of the manned space office, said he expected to launch another Shenzhou capsule before the end of 2005.

  "In one or two years' time, I think Shenzhou VI will be launched." Xie said in response to a reporter's question.

  Zhang, the second most senior officer in charge of the country's space program, said the next major tasks to tackle would be to perfect orbital docking technologies and procedures.

  Precise docking between spacecraft and orbiting modules is essential to placing a space lab in orbit, Xinhua quoted Zhang as saying.

  He did not say whether the proposed space lab would be manned or conduct experiments using automated equipment.

  Beijing has not been involved in the U.S.and Russian-led International Space Station(ISS), although there has been speculation(思索)that China may be invited to join in the near future.Although earlier reports in Chinese media have speculated on the future course of the space program, Zhang's comments are the clearest indication yet that such plans have high level official support.

  Aside from the space station, Chinese scientists are also reported to be working on plans to send unmanned probes to the moon with a view to eventually landing a Chinese astronaut on the lunar surface.
