题目列表(包括答案和解析)
It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of “Shenzhou V”,or “Divine ship/vessel V”.There are also lexicographers,or dictionary compilers.The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit.?
One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts.It s a combination of the Chinese pinyin “taikong”,meaning space,and the English “astronaut”,from classical Greek:“star sailor/navigator”,for people who was going into space as a career.
In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut” was used as a proper noun.For example:The long March 2F rocket carrying “taikonaut” Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.?
A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V—“divine ship” in Chinese—carried a single “taikonaut” named Yang Liwei,38,following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.?
The word “taikonaut” is not a newly coined term.It first emerged in November,1999,when China launched its first unmanned “Shenzhou Ⅰ” spacecraft.?
At that lime,some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word “taikonaut” for the Chinese astronauts.It was then borrowed by the Germans media.?
But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries,such as the Merriam—Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English ?
Learner’s Dictionary.?
However,the launch of the “Shenzhou V” will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.?
An astronaut of Russian (or the former Soviet Union)is called a “cosmonaut”,from the Russian “kosmonaut”.The word was derived from classical Greek:“kosmonaut” (universal)and “nautes”.One might argue that “cosmonaut” is a Russian variation on the earlier word “astronaut”.
On March 14,1995,US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle,arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.?
And if this trend of coinage continues,more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space,what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa we’ll have to wait to see.?
66.Give the best title of the passage.(within 10 words)?
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了因为中国载人航天事业的发展而派生的一个新英语词汇“taikonaut”的由来。?
阅读下面一篇文章，文章后有五个选项，从A、B、C、D、E和F六个选项中选出五个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。
The existence of Santa Claus can be proved in five ways．
The first and most obvious way is ________．It is certain and evident(显然的)to our senses, that in the world some things are Christmas trees．Now no pine tree becomes a Christmas tree unless it is trimmed(修剪)．Now to be trimmed means to receive ornaments(装饰物)from another．But this cannot go on to infinity in the trimming of Christmas trees．One must come to some first untrimmed trimmer; and this everyone understands to be Santa Claus．
The second way is ________．We see that in the world that Christmas gifts are given and received．Whoever, then, gives Christmas gifts either receives them from another or makes them in his workshop．If, however, no one makes Christmas gifts in his workshop, they are not given nor received．Therefore it is necessary to posit(安置) some first giver of Christmas gifts, who everyone calls Santa Claus．
The third way is ________．At all stores we see things of plastic that represent Santa Claus．These things are of such a quality that they are representations according to Santa himself or according to other images of him．But, it is not possible to proceed to infinity in images．Therefore, it is necessary to posit something which is like Santa Claus and hence Santa Claus exists．
The fourth way is ________．Indeed, in this world, among men there are some of more and some of less Christmas spirit．But“more”and“less”is said of diverse things according as they resemble in their diverse ways something which is the“maximum”．Therefore there must be something which has the most Christmas spirit, and this we call Santa Claus．
The fifth way is ________．When Christmas day approaches, we see from their being good always or frequently that children, who lack understanding, are moved because of an end．But children would not be good because of the Nativity of Christ unless there were someone who strengthened them so that they were good．And this someone is known by all to be Santa Claus．
A．taken from the grades which are found in Christmas spirit
B．taken from the food people eat at Christmas Day
C．taken from the nature of Christmas gifts
D．taken from the behavior of children
E．taken from Christmas trees
F．taken from plastic images resembling Santa Claus
阅读下面一篇文章，文章后有五个选项，从A、B、C、D、E五个选项中选出三个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。
I like watching TV very much for I think it has many advantages．
First of all, 1 ．After a day of hard work, we need a good rest．Watching TV can make our mind and body not tired any more because of the pleasant music and TV plays．
Besides, 2 ．There are many kinds of entertainment, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts, plays and films all over the world at every time．It is not a problem now to travel because the transportation is so convenient now．We need at least over ten hours to fly from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow and an hour to drive from Queens District to Manhattan District．But within just one second, It’s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time．
Most important, 3 ．Our children can learn every kind of subjects through the educational programmes and the special reports on TV, and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian lessons from a Russian teacher in Moscow．Even we can learn how to behave well from the TV plays．Meanwhile, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom．
A．watching TV is entertaining
B．By watching TV,you can make good use of your time．
C．watching TV is educational
D．watching TV is just like going to school
E．watching TV is a good rest．
阅读下面一篇文章，文章后有五个选项，从A、B、C、D、E和F六个选项中选出五个符合每一段文章主旨大意的选项。
We all worry at times, and there is probably no way to stop worrying forever．There are some ways to stop right now, however．The following tips on how to stop worrying come from experience, because I’ve always been a bit of a worrier, and I had to learn some good techniques for stopping this energy-sucking habit．Here are five of the best．
1．________．Any action towards a goal tends to diminish(使减小) worry．Thinking too much about your goals or plans will cause you worry and stress．Of course you should plan well, but when planning is carried towards worrying, it’s time to start doing something positive．
2．________．When you want to stop worrying too much about a problem, you need to make decisive decisions, and even bad decisions may be better than doing nothing．Often you will immediately resolve(解决)the stress when you, for example, finally decide to give up that job, buy that house, or make that phone call．Nothing makes you with worry as much as decisions waiting to be made．Make them now, or at least start gathering the information you need to make them．If they proved to be bad decisions, just make new ones．
3．________．Too many things going on in your head?Put them on lists and you may feel better．It works well for many of us worriers．When you are thinking too much about something, and you stop to plan a time to work on it, or just put it on a list, it is easier to let go of it for now．Write down that phone call you have to make on tomorrow’s list, and you’ll feel less worried now．You’re basically creating“mental categories”．In fact, just saying to yourself,“There’s nothing I can do about this until Monday,”can put a worry into a category of“nothing to worry about right now．”
4．________．To get away worry when there are real problems, try to face them head-on(正面的/地), and decide them quickly．I once had to sue(起诉)someone over a business matter, and I was worrying about it for weeks．When I finally just filed the papers, got on the phone, and came to an agreement, my stress was gone．Actually, my worrying began to disappear as soon as I started acting．
5．________．Planning in mind is a great way to relax and to stop worrying, but what if you don’t have the time for more involved meditative practice?Don’t worry．Just try this：close your eyes, let the tension out of your body and take several deep breaths through your nose．That’s it．Want even easier meditation?Try brain wave entertainment CDs that do all the work for you．Just pop on the headphones and they’ll relax you by slowing your brain waves．
Try the above techniques．Make habits out of whichever ones work best to stop your worries．They need to be habits because nothing works if you forget to use it．In fact, until they become habitual, you may want to carry a list of your favorite techniques for eliminating worry．
A．Make decisive decisions
B．Deal with problems directly and quickly
C．Plan in mind to get worry away
D．Use mental categories
E．Put worries on the lists
F．Take action now

The best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is _21__ in English as much as possible. Of course it’s not _22_ for people to do this.

But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good _27__ at the mistakes that you make. Don’t be _28__ if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be _29__ with you, because they don’t understand what you are __30_. The most important thing for learning English is: Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.
