    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　SHANGHAI－The Chinese Shenzhou Ⅶ spacecraft lifted off at 9∶07 p.m.Thursday, carrying three Chinese astronauts into space on this country's third manned space mission in five years．

    　　The Chinese government has spent billions of dollars in recent years building up a space program, hoping to help China establish a space station by 2020 and eventually put a man onto the moon, and the accomplishments would certainly promote the country's international status．

    　　China sent into space three experienced fighter pilots, all of them 42-year-old men．One is expected to walk in space for 30 minutes on Friday or Saturday, according to the state media．The three astronauts are carrying traditional Chinese medicine on board, in case of sickness, and their diet includes pork and beef made in a certain way．

    　　The suit is the most complex, advanced and expensive in the world, a ＄4.4 million space suit designed and produced in China．The spacecraft was launched by the Long March II-F carrier rocket, which took the spacecraft into a low orbit, about 210 miles above Earth．The mission, which is being reported widely in the Chinese media, is another milestone for a country that got a late start in space exploration but is now actively launching commercial satellites, putting humans in space and even shooting down aging satellites．

    　　"It's a great start, even though it's nowhere near what the Russians and the U．S．have accomplished with space flight," said Roger D．Launius, referring generally to China's space program．

    　　Russia and the United States conducted their first spacewalks in 1965, and in 1969 the United States became the first country to put a person on the moon．But Michael D．Griffin, the administrator of NASA, has repeatedly warned that despite the head start by other nations, the Chinese program is moving swiftly and could overtake American efforts to return to the moon by 2020．Mr．Griffin said, "It was likely that China will be able to put people on the Moon before we will be able to get back．"He added, "I admire what they have done．but I am concerned that it will leave the United States in the wake of China．"

    　　The Chinese government also hopes the national space program will aid the nation economically by helping to create technological breakthroughs that may someday be applied to computers or other digital equipment．

    (1)

    SHANGHAI-Famed Chinese scientist Qian Weichang died here on Friday morning, saddening millions of his countrymen.
    He was 98.
    Qian, a pioneer in mechanics and applied mathematics in modern China, was one of the three famous "Qians" in China's science and technology field. He was well known alongside Qian Xuesen, the father of China's space program, and Qian Sanqiang, a nuclear physicist who oversaw the development of China's nuclear program.

    Many of those still on campus voluntarily joined preparations for a mourning (哀悼) service that will begin at the university on Saturday.
    The university has set up two mourning halls at two of its campuses and publicized the mourning time and phone numbers at the two sites.
    Qian was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu, in 1912. Although he was initially not good at science, he chose to study physics at Tsinghua University because he believed science and technology were the keys to strengthening China in the 1930s.
    He graduated from Tsinghua in 1935, and earned his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Toronto in Canada in 1942.
    He returned to China in 1946 and became a mechanics professor and later vice-president at Tsinghua University.
    Qian made great contributions to the engineering applications of sciences, such as the fluttering of airplanes, armor penetration, the design of instruments and pipe systems.

    阅读理解
         Considered one of Europe's two "bicycle capitals" along with Amsterdam, Copenhagen(哥本哈根)
    counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so popular that its numerous bike paths can become
    crowded. Two-wheeler traffic jams are especially regular on the main Noerrebrogade road used by
    around 36,000 cyclists a day. "You have to elbow your way in to go forward and some cyclists aren't
    always thoughtful," complains 22-year-old university student Lea Bresell.
         The creation of bike highways "comes right on time", says Danish Cyclist Federation Spokesman
    Frits Bredal. "Copenhagen's roads are overloaded with people who want to ride their bicycles in all
    kinds of weather," he says. "If in the 1960s Danes viewed the car as the symbol of freedom, the bicycles
    have supposed that role today," Bredal says. "It's a mode of transportation used by all social classes,
    even politicians ride bikes," he says.
         It is on crowded Noerrebrogade-the busiest bicycle street in Europe, according to the cyclist
    association-that city planners have decided to build the first of Copenhagen's environmentally friendly
    roads. The jammed bike paths will be widened up to four metres on either side of the road, which itself
    will be reserved for bikes only. The idea is to make Noerrebrogade "Europe's great cycling street", says
    Andreas Roehl, Copenhagen government's bicycle program manager who is also known as "Mr. Bike".
         But Roehl is not content with making life easier for Copenhagen's inner-city cyclists: He wants to get
    suburbanites(郊区居民) out of their cars and onto two wheels as well. His goal is to hike the percentage
    of suburban commuters cycling to and from the city from the 37 percent it is today to 50 percent by 2015.
    1.    Why does Copenhagen plan to build the first bike highway?
    A. Because bike highways are environmentally friendly.
    B. Because it's a part of the city's development program.
    C. Because the inner-city commuters urge that it should be built.
    D. Because too many bicycles cause the paths to be crowded.
    2.    Why do people in Copenhagen want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of weather?
    A. Because the price of petrol has been going up all the time.
    B. Because the bicycle is viewed as the symbol of freedom nowadays.
    C. Because it's hard for people to find parking space in crowded streets.
    D. Because politicians ride bikes and commuters enjoy following them.
    3.    The underline word "mode" in the second paragraph probably means?
    A. fashion                          
    B. improvement
    C. reform                          
    D. law
    4.    Which of the following is NOT included in Andreas Roehl's plan?
    A. The former jammed bike paths will be widened.
    B. Noerrebrogade is to be made "Europe's great cycling street".
    C. All commuters will be pushed to leave their cars at home.
    D. More suburbanites will be got out of their cars and onto two wheels.
