Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

The majority of astronauts(宇航员)from America have been men.At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space.However，some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful.In 1978，NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts. Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women，but in many other ways they were very different.Both of them were on Flight STS-51-L.Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977.She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978，and in 1984，she became the second woman in space.During that flight，she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research.She was，in many ways，a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.

Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident.In

15

1984，NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space.They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel.Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies.She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L.She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media (radio，television and newspapers)．It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight.Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space.Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest.It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe’s place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.

1．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that . A．Judy was against the idea of having women in space at first B．Judy was the first woman selected for astronaut training C．Judy helped to launch three new satellites at the age of 35 D．Judy carried out a programme during her second space travel 答案 C

解析 推理判断题。从文章第二段“Both of them were on Flight STS-51-L.Judy Resnick was born in 1949”和“in 1984，she became the second woman in space.During that flight，she helped to launch three new satellites”可知当Judy帮助发射三颗卫星的时候是35岁，故选C。

2．Christa McAuliffe was chosen for training because . A．she was popular with the news media

B．she expected to give history lessons in space C．she was an excellent teacher and communicator D．she made the students in space very excited 答案 C

解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L.She was also a very good communicator...”可知选C。

3．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Two Astronauts B．Flight STS-51-L

16

C．Travelling in Space D．The Training Programme 答案 A

解析 标题归纳题。文章首段提出女宇航员的出现，然后在以下段落中介绍美国历史上的两名女宇航员，由此判断文章标题可以归纳为Two Astronauts，故选A。

B

Leymah Gbowee，ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize，dreamed of peace and made it happen，founding a movement of women who brought peace and a female president to Liberia. On the night of her high school graduation party，surrounded by family，neighbors，and friends，Leymah Gbowee imagined a bright future.She planned to study biology and chemistry in college and become a pediatrician.Instead，Gbowee writes in her autobiography，Mighty Be Our Powers，within six months of that party in 1989，everything around her was gone—her country torn apart by civil war，her family broken，her plans abandoned.And Gbowee never became a doctor.Gbowee saw civilians murdered before her eyes.She fled with relatives from one shelter to another，often went hungry.Upon returning to Liberia in 1991，she saw a terrible sight：everyone had fled，leaving their homes to the fighters.

Yet her spirit wouldn’t die.She began studying under a UNICEF program.Finally，with her family’s help，she imagined a movement of women demanding peace in Liberia and made it happen.Traveling from village to village，Gbowee began organizing women and persuaded women of different cultures to unite；under her leadership，thousands of women were dressed all in white to symbolize peace.Gbowee writes，“We were silent before，but after so many of us have been killed，fallen with diseases，and lost our children and families，war has taught us that the future lies in saying no to violence and yes to peace！”

The women had reason to fear，but Gbowee had no choice.Then women could register to vote.Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa’s first female president in 2005.Gbowee’s work was just beginning.She now travels the world，meeting with everyone from presidents to CEOs to people living in tiny villages，fighting for women and girls.

4．The underlined word “pediatrician” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “ ”． A．teacher C．biologist 答案 D

解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段第四句“And Gbowee never became a doctor.”可推知她计划成为一名医生，即pediatrician。

5．What happened to Leymah Gbowee within two years after 1989? A．She volunteered in shelters. B．She lived an unsettled life. C．She wrote an autobiography. D．She tried to realize her dream. 答案 B

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She fled with relatives from one shelter to another，often went hungry.”可知，Gbowee和她的亲戚一起从一家避难所逃到另一家，还常常挨饿。由此可推知Gbowee过的是一种漂泊的(unsettled)生活。

6．What effect did the civil war in Liberia have on Leymah Gbowee? A．The war strengthened her spirit. B．She gave up a UNICEF program. C．She kept silent after the war. D．She didn’t expect peace at all. 答案 A

解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Yet her spirit wouldn’t die.”以及对她从事的女权运动的叙述可知，内战没有让Gbowee消沉，而是增强了她的信心和意志。 7．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Leymah Gbowee .
