阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项

A

The majority of astronauts 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-5L-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 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.

41. 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

42. 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

43. The reason why there was great interest in Flight STS-51-L is that ________. A. both Christa and Judy got PhD degrees in the same year B. a young secondary school teacher was on the flight C. students were going to learn more about space travel D. it was the first time for women to travel in space 44. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Two Astronauts B. Flight STS-51-L C. Travelling in Space D. The Training Programme

Most episodes（情况）of absent- mindedness- forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. \ou're supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded （译成密码）it deeply.\

Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact（影响）on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create

6

annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）. \our memory itself isn't failing you,\Schacter.\you didn't give your memory system the information it needed.\

Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness.\statistics from 30 years ago,\Zelinski,\not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.\have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that.

\cues can help prevent absent -mindedness\Schacter.\be sure the cue is clear and available,\cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication（药物）with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.

Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. \to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember. 49. We can learn from the passage that encoding ________. A. slows down the process of losing our memories B. helps us understand our memory system better C. gets us to recall something from our memories D. helps us to find out the mobile phone in the pocket 50. Why do women have better memories than men? A. They seldom use their mobile phones.

B. They are more nervous about the environment.

C. They are more interested in what's happening around them. D. They usually take some special medicine to improve memories. 51. The sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 means that ___________. A. a note in the pocket will easily get lost

B. putting something in sight can be a good reminder C. taking medicine can get rid of absent-mindedness

D. people of absent-mindedness must take medicine with them 52. What is the passage mainly about? A. The causes of absent-mindedness. B. The environment and memory. C. A way of encoding and recalling. D. The process of gradual memory loss.

D

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality,

7

want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed - no examination is perfect - but to have no external( 外部的 )tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in external examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the ideal and the purpose of each teacher.

Without external examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them - a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill - respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate shows the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well - respected school. This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if external examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school's fame, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.

The opponents（对手）of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.

These people are not just against school organisation, but are at war with the whole idea of modem competitive society and they are using children in schools for their destructive purposes. There is no reason why we should allow such people to determine the way our schools are organised when it is to the obvious disadvantage of the pupils, of the schools and of our society as a whole.

53. According to the passage, the writer thinks that ________. A. changing the standards could mean the end of equality B. standards must keep changing in order to achieve equality C. there would be no standards without external examinations D. we cannot have standards because examinations are not perfect

54. In the writer's opinion, what would happen if external examinations were taken away?

A. There would be no more opportunities and no more excellence. B. Children from poor families would not be able to change schools. C. Going to a favoured school should be the only way to get a good job. D. Schools for bright children would lose their fame. 55. The situation at the moment is that ________.

8

A. many children who are suitable for a job have no proof of their suitability B. a school's fame is not important, as long as a child has a certificate. C. children attending well - respected schools need not get certificates. D. a bright child doesn't need a certificate a t all to get a good job. 56. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A. Most students from poor families can't get a good job. B. Some people are using students to destroy our society.

C. The writer thinks it a good way to choose a job by computer. D. The opponents of the examination want to reorganize schools. 57. The opponents would agree that _________.

A. computers should be selected to take over many jobs B. particular people should not be chosen for particular jobs

C. well - respected schools should be got rid of as soon as possible

D. the students are not equally treated if they take external examinations

This 33-year-old, white, university-educated person is the typical Internet worker, according to a study by the Internet Standard, a San Francisco news magazine.
