Ⅲ.阅读理解 A Barbara Morgan's lifelong dream has always been to travel into space.On August 8,2007,her wish came true.The former teacher was one of seven crewmembers on the Space Shuttle Endeavour,which flew into space from NASA's Kennedy Space Station in Florida. Morgan taught at a primary school in Boise from 19751998—with some time off for astronaut training.In 1985,she was chosen as a backup for Christa McAuliffe,who was to be the first teacher in space.On January 28,1986,the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after takeoff killing McAuliffe and the other six crewmembers. After the Challenger accident,Morgan continued to teach.In 1998,she was asked to become an astronaut.Morgan's mission aboard Endeavour includes overseeing the move of 5000 pounds of goods from the shuttle to the International Space Station and operating the shuttle's robotic arm. Morgan gave students an unusual class after she was in space.Morgan's outofthisworld class was broadcast live on NASA television.Her husband Clay Morgan said he couldn't help but smile as he watched her talk to students.“I'm just so proud of her and how she's going to do all this and do the work of an astronaut as well as a teacher,” he said.“She just kept telling me how unbelievable it was to be in space and I think it's much better than she expected.” One student asked Morgan how being a teacher compared to being an astronaut.“We explore,we discover and we share,” she said.“The great thing about being a teacher is you get to do that with students,and the great thing about being an astronaut is you get to do it in space,these are both wonderful jobs.” The 25minutes questionandanswer meeting also included the astronauts entertaining students by swallowing floating juice bubbles and playing with Pingpong balls. 1Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.The First Female Astronaut B.Space Shuttle Endeavour C.An Unusual Class D.Barbara Morgan's Longlife Dream 解析:这是一道主旨大意题。文章介绍了美国女教师巴巴拉•摩根在“奋进号”机舱内,给学生们上课,并回答了他们的问题。因此文章介绍的是一节课,而不是人。 答案:C 2The underlined word in the second paragraph most probably means ______. A.someone as a replacement B.someone as a volunteer C.someone as a teacher D.someone as a supporter 解析:这是一道词义猜测题。从下文可知,1986年1月28日挑战号航天飞机在起飞73秒后爆炸,使得前飞行员教师Christa McAuliffe和其他六名机组人员全部遇难。所以这句话的意思是:1986年,她就是作为Christa McAuliffe的后备人员被选中的。故选A项。 答案:A 3What can we learn from what Barbara Morgan said to a student in Paragraph 4? A.Getting to do with students is much greater. B.Being a teacher is as great as being an astronaut. C.An astronaut's life is more wonderful. D.Being a teacher is quite different from being an astronaut. (责任编辑:admin) |
