21、What does it take to become an astronaut? It’s a question that’s been asked since the start of the Space Age in the 1960s. In those days, pilots were considered the most well-trained professionals, so military fliers were first in line to go to space. More recently, people from a wide range of professional backgrounds - doctors, scientists, and even teachers- have trained to live and work in near-Earth orbit. Even so, those selected to go to space must meet high standards.

People who want to become astronauts must be in top physical condition. Each country’s space program has health requirements for its space travelers. They usually assess a candidate’s fitness to withstand some pretty tough conditions. For example, a good candidate must have the ability to endure the rigors of lift-off and to function in weightlessness. All astronauts must have good visual acuity and normal blood pressure. Beyond that, there is no age limit. Most astronaut trainees are between the ages of 25 and 46, although older people have also flown to space later in their careers.

People who go to space are usually self-confident, risk-takers, adept at stress management and multitasking. They also need to be able to work as part of a team for any given assignment. On Earth, astronauts are usually required to perform various public relations duties. such as speaking to the public, working with other professionals, and sometimes even testifying before government officials. So, astronauts who can relate well to many different kinds of people are seen as valuable team members.

Often, astronauts have a background as scientists and many have high-level degrees, like Ph. Ds. Others have military training or space industry expertise. Regardless of their background, once an astronaut is accepted into a country’s space program, he or she goes through rigorous training to actually live and work in space.

【1】Which of the following is of least importance to an astronaut?

A．Normal blood pressure.

B．Good eyesight.

C．Tough body.

D．Young age

【2】According to the passage, an astronaut is one who

A．is strong and healthy.

B．has self-confidence

C．can work under great pressure

D．All of the above.

【3】Why are astronauts asked to perform public duties?

A．To make them famous among people.

B．To relieve their feeling of tension.

C．To raise their awareness of teamwork.

D．To promote public interest in the aerospace.

【4】What could be the best title for the passage?

A．Everyone Can be an Astronaut

B．The Professional Qualities of an Astronaut

C．Training Astronauts is Much Easier Nowadays

D．It’s not Mysterious to be an Astronaut

22、Optimism is a psychological quality characterized as the general expectation that good things will happen, or the belief that the future will be favorable because one can control important outcomes. “Most research on exceptional longevity investigated biomedical factors associated with survival, but recent work suggests non-biological factors are also important,” said lead author Dr. Lewina Lee, a clinical research psychologist at Boston University School of Medicine. “Thus, we tested whether higher optimism was associated with longer life span and greater likelihood of exceptional longevity.”

In the study, Dr. Lee and co-authors analyzed data from 69,744 women and 1,429 men. The women’s age range was 58-86 years when they completed an optimism assessment in 2004, and their mortality (死亡率) status was tracked through 2014. The men’s age range was 41-90 years when they completed an optimism assessment in 1986, and their mortality status was tracked through 2016.

When individuals were compared based on their initial levels of optimism, the researchers found that the most optimistic men and women demonstrated, on average, an 11% to 15% longer lifespan, and had 50-70% greater chances of reaching 85 years old compared to the least optimistic groups. The results were maintained after accounting for age, educational attainment, chronic diseases, depression and also health behaviors, such as alcohol use, exercise, diet and primary care visits.

It is unclear how exactly optimism helps people attain longer life. Researchers suggest that more optimistic people may be able to control emotions and behavior as well as bounce back from stressors and difficulties more effectively. They also consider that more optimistic people tend to have healthier habits, such as being more likely to engage in more exercise and less likely to smoke, which could extend lifespan.

Research on the reason why optimism matters so much remains to be done, but the link between optimism and health is becoming more evident. “We hope that our findings will inspire further research on involvement to enhance positive health assets that may improve the public’s health with aging,” Dr. Lee said.

【1】Different from most research on longevity, Dr. Lee’s research focuses on people’s ________.

A．health behaviors

B．medical care

C．academic background

D．mental condition

【2】What does the underlined phrase “bounce back from” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Put up with.

B．Get along with.

C．Recover from.

D．Benefit from.

【3】What can we learn about the study led by Dr. Lee?

A．It exposes the secrets of happiness in old age.

B．It offers the aged beneficial advice for better health.

C．It further clarifies the influence of optimism on health.

D．It clearly explains why optimistic people enjoy longer life.

23、   Walter Peak High Country Farm，on the western shores of Lake Wakatipu，is famous in history. Its sheltered bays were used as camping sites by Maori travelling to the Mararoa and Oreti Rivers on Moa hunting and pounamu (greenstone) gathering expeditions.

24、   The annual Canadian commercial seal hunt is the world's largest hunt of marine mammals. A few weeks old, the seal cubs are prized primarily for their skins and also for the omega-3-rich oil used in food supplements--products that are shipped around the world.

This month, the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland, is expected to announce whether products from commercial seal hunting can be marketed in Europe. At present, they cannot. Such products have been banned by the European Union (EU) since 2009 to protect ‘public morals’. Canada and Norway have asked the WTO to overturn the ban - the first of its kind -- and the trade body will soon deliver its final decision.

As an official observer, I have seen the hunt from the ice and from helicopters. The details are grisly. That is why the WTO originally agreed that the EU could act to limit trade on the grounds of public morals - the first time that such a restriction had been put in place.

When they are born, seal cubs have white fur. They are abandoned by their mothers at about 12 days of age. Stranded on the unstable ice, they remain alone and unfed for up to six weeks, and during this time their fur changes from white to grey --and the hunters arrive.

The cubs are either shot from boats, or clubbed with a wooden bat or an iron-tipped pole called a hakapik. Some shot and injured seals slide into the water and are lost. Many shot and injured animals could potentially suffer for several minutes while the hunters drive their boats close enough to club them unconscious. If the ice is too unstable for the hunters to cross, shot and injured but conscious and reactive seals can be dragged into the boats with long hooked gaffs (鱼叉) before being clubbed.

As a human and as a scientist I consider the hunt to present real and significant welfare concerns. The available scientific evidence supports that opinion. But science, of course, is only one of the factors at play. Perhaps the final word should go to a statement attributed to Mahatma Gandhi: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

【1】Why is WTO’s ban introduced in the passage “the first of its kind”?

A.It is the first to take little notice of the economic results.

B.It is the first to take moral standards into account.

C.It is the first to have been overturned in history.

D.It is the first to put animals’ welfare in place.

【2】The underlined word “grisly” most probably means   .

A.accurate B.unpleasant C.vague D.available

【3】The writer describes the process of seal hunting in detail in paragraph 5 in order to .

A.prove it requires much experience B.introduce what tools are needed

C.show readers how violent it is D.stress how helpless seals are

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.WTO is going to lift the ban on seal hunting

B.Canada decreases its commercial seal hunting

C.The moral problem with commercial seal hunting

D.How animals are treated vary from country to country

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A long time ago, there was a country where the people would change a king every year. The person who would become the king had to sign a contract that he would be sent to an island after one year.

One king finished his term and it was time for him to go to the island. The people dressed him up in expensive clothes and put him on an elephant and took him around the cities to say goodbye to all the people. This was the moment of sadness for all the kings who ruled for one year. Then the people took the king in a boat to the remote island and left him there.

On their way back, the people discovered a ship that had sunk just recently and a young man who survived by holding on to a floating piece of wood. As they needed a new king, they picked up the young man and took him to their country. They requested him to be a king and told him about all the rules and regulations. At first, he refused but later he agreed to be a king.

After three days of being a king, he asked the ministers if they could show him the island where all the other kings were sent. They agreed and took him to the island. The island was covered with thick jungles and sounds of dangerous animals were heard coming out of them. The king discovered the dead bodies of all the past kings. It was clear that as soon as they were left in the island, the animals came and killed them.

On returning to his country, the young king asked the people to provide him with 100 strong workers. He took them to the island and told them to remove all the deadly animals and to cut down some trees. He often visited the island to see how the work was progressing.

After a month, the whole island was cleaned out. The king then told the workers to plant gardens and raise useful animals like chickens, ducks, birds, goats and cows.
