The first part of a new science-fiction series (系列劇)was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飛船)which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22ndcentury. First, we’ll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.

Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea o fpeace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can beoptimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is ‘communicators’. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest manchine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different placein a second!

The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company (公司)will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!

1.What is Star Trek?

A. A TV play. B. A popular song.

C. A spacecraft. D. An alien.

2.What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?

A. Lucky and happy.

B. Hopeful and confident.

C. Helpful and creative.

D. Thankful and popular.

3.What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek?

A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.

B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.

C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Aliens on Other Planets.

B. The Idea of Human Life.

C. A Science Fiction.

D. A New Series about Future.

1.B 2.B 3.C 4.D 【解析】試題分析:這篇短文的作者主要就昨天晚上在NBC新上映的系列劇—星際迷航進(jìn)行了評價。他認(rèn)為雖然電視劇的主題不錯,但是如果沒有好演員的表演也不會成功。 1. 2.optimistic!我不相信從現(xiàn)在起一百年的和平的想法,但是這是科學(xué)幻想,故推辭后文的意思是所以我們可以樂觀,即有希望,有信心,故選B。 3. 4.

I remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.

When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted. I described something like bikers wear. She listened long. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.

The next day when I got home from school, I discovered, on m y bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket slowly, as if it were a stranger.

From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet. I rushed and pulled at the clothes in the closet, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn’t for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I’d have to wear it a long time before I’d have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.

I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(鏡子), turning right and left. I looked ugly.

I threw it on my brother’s bed and looked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a “thank you” to my mom.

The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, looked at me for a long time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers looked my way and talked about how foolish I looked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whole school to get together on the playground, . Although they didn’t say out loud, “Man, that’s ugly!” I heard their talk and even laughter.

And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed, so hurt, I couldn’t even do my lessons the rest of the day. I received Cs on tests.

I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.

I blamed(指責(zé))that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways. It was a sad time for the heart. Anyway, I spent my sixth-grade year, looking forward to something good to happen to me.

And it was about that time I began to grow, still in that green ugly jacket, which had become my brother who went along wherever I went.

1.The writer went to school in the new jacket because _______.

A. his jacket was too old and small B. his brother asked him to do so

C. he wanted to show it to his friends D. he would act in school play

2.The sentence that shows the writer cared about his mother’s feelings is “________”.

A. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted

B. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways

C. I put it on and went out, smiling a “thank you” to my mom

D. From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet

3.Which of the following sentences can be put in the ?

A. it began to rain B. everyone saw me C. my mother came D. I got angry

4.The changes of the writer’s attitude(態(tài)度)to the jacket can be described as ________.

A. enemy→stranger→brother B. brother→stranger→enemy

C. stranger→brother→enemy D. stranger→enemy→brother

Bill Fuller, the postman, whistled(吹口哨) cheerfully as he pushed his bike up the hill towards Mrs Dunley’s house. His work for the day was almost finished. His bag, usually quite heavy when he set out on his road, was empty now except for the letter that he had to deliver(遞送) to Mrs Dunley. She lived over a mile from that village so that, when Bill had a letter for her, he always finished his day’s work much later. He did not mind this, however, because she never failed to ask him in for a cup of tea.

When Bill entered the gate of Mrs Dunley’s house, he was surprised not to find her working in the garden. She usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine. Bill went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains were drawn. He returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door. There was no answer. Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs Dunley hardly left the house.

Just then, he noticed that her bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning, was still on the doorstep. This worried him. If Mrs Dunley had not taken in her milk, perhaps she was ill. Bill walked round the house until he found an open window. He squeezed(擠) through it. Then he went into the hall. There he almost fell over Mrs Dunley, who was lying at the foot of the stairs unconscious(昏迷不醒的). Realizing that there was little he could do for her, Bill rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to telephone for an ambulance(救護(hù)車) as soon as he got to the village.

1.What did Mrs Dunley usually do with Bill?

A. She usually asked him to have a cup of tea.

B. She usually had a talk with him.

C. She usually asked him to dinner.

D. She usually asked him to buy some tea.

2.The thing that especially worried Bill was ________.

A. finding the back door locked and the curtains drawn

B. seeing the bottle of milk on the doorstep

C. not getting any answer when he knocked on the door

D. not finding Mrs Dunley in the garden

3.How did Bill get help for Mrs Dunley?

A. He stopped a passing car and took her to the hospital.

B. He himself telephoned for an ambulance.

C. He stopped a car and asked the driver to telephone for an ambulance.

D. He asked the driver to take her to the hospital.

1.A 2.B 3.C 【解析】試題分析:這篇文章講的是Bill Fuller是一個郵遞員,他有一天給Mrs Dunley送信的時候發(fā)現(xiàn)她有了危險,所以立刻找人叫了救護(hù)車。 1. 2. 3.
