    After an extra day in space,the crew of Discovery returned to Earth,landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California early on Tuesday morning.The shuttle and its crew spent two weeks in space,most of it aboard the International Space Station.It was the first flight of NASA's space?shuttle fleet since February 2003,when the shuttle Columbia came apart while re?entering Earth's atmosphere.?

    NASA officials delayed Discovery's return for one day because of cloudy weather in Florida,where the shuttle was supposed to lanD. On Tuesday morning,mission controllers ?directed? Discovery to a landing site in California,where the skies were clear.The crew members will have to wait until Wednesday to see their families when they all meet together in Houston at the Johnson Space Center.?

    Discovery had a very busy mission in space,compared to past missions.The space shuttle docked with the International Space Station most of the journey,delivering badly needed ?supplies? and repairing damaged parts.The crew spent a lot of time testing new repair techniques on their own shuttle,conducting three different spacewalks(where astronauts exit the space shuttle to do work outside).On the third spacewalk,astronaut Steve Robinson went underneath the shuttle to remove material sticking out from between the spacecraft's ?protective? tiles.?

    There were concerns in the last remaining days of Discovery's mission that a torn heat blanket—another shield against overheating in the space shuttle—may pose a problem to crew members. NASA officials and technicians worked on ways that the crew could fix the problem, but later decided it was not a risk.?

    With the shuttle and its crew safely back on firm ground, NASA is hailing this mission, labeled STS?114,as a huge success. “I hope this shows people that we're coming back,” NASA spaceflight chief Bill Readdy said after Discovery's successful landing. “We've got some more work to do. We know what we need to do and we'll do it.?

    Which of the following isn't included in the jobs of the shuttle Discovery?

    A. Delivering supplies to the International Space Station.?

    B. Conducting different spacewalks.?

    C. Testing new repair techniques.?

    D. Finding the cause why the shuttle Columbia came apart.?

    But for the cloudy weather, the shuttle Discovery would have landed_______.

    A. in Florida a day earlier     B. in Florida a day later?

    C. in California a day earlier D. in California a day later?

    Which is the most probable period of time that Discovery was aboard the International Space Station?

    A. Six days.    B. Two weeks.?

    C. Nine days.  D. Two weeks and an extra day.?

    【小题1】D　

    【小题2】A

    【小题3】C


    解析:

    【小题1】细节归纳题。根据第三段第二句和第三句话可知:寻找“哥伦比亚号”航天飞机解体的原因不在其例。?

    【小题2】推测题。根据第二段第一句反推可知:要不是天气原因,“发现号”航天飞机会早一天降落在佛罗里达州。?

    【小题3】推测题。根据短文第一段第二句话和第三段第二句话可知:“发现号”航天飞机此次飞行的两个星期中绝大部分时间是停靠在国际空间站上。由此推断“九天”最可能。?

    Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't   1   it to be blue - the name has nothing to   2   the color of our closest celestial（天体） neighbor.

    A full moon   3   on December 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.

    "If you're in Times Square, you'll see the   4   moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.

    The New Year's Eve blue moon will be   5   in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up  6   New Year's Day, making January a blue moon month for them.

    However, the Eastern Hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse（月蚀） on New Year's Eve when  7   of the moon enters the Earth's shadow. The   8   will not be visible in the Americas.

    A full moon occurs   9   29.5 days, and most years have 12.  10  , an extra full moon in a month - a blue moon - occurs every 2.5 years. The   11   time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007. New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't   12    again until 2028.

    Blue moons have no astronomical   13   , said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

    "`Blue moon' is just a   14   in the same sense as a `hunter's moon' or a `harvest moon,'" Laughlin said in an e-mail.

    The popular definition of blue moon   15   after a writer for Sky & Telescope magazine in 1946 misunderstood the Maine Farmer's Calendar and marked a blue moon as the second full moon in a month. In fact, the calendar   16   a blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons, not the usual three.

    Though Sky & Telescope corrected the  17   decades later, the definition caught on. For purists（语言纯正癖者）, however, this New Year's Eve full moon doesn't even qualify as a   18   moon. It's just the first full moon of the winter season.

    In a tongue-in-cheek essay   19   on the magazine's Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: "If skies are clear when I'm    20  celebrating, I'll take a peek（眯着眼睛看） at that brilliant orb（天体） as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it's an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I'll just howl."

    科目：高中英语 来源：2010年浙江省高二上学期期中考试英语卷 题型：阅读理解

    I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring­free life.

             Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high­tech, in­a­hurry age, a cell­free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.

             I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone，an e­mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7？However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.

             Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.

             “Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.

             I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.

    61. 1. What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?

      A. give away                B. get away     C. break away                     D. throw away

    62. 2.The writer mentions Frodo to________.

      A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone

      B. show how much he likes Frodo

      C. suggest a cell­free life is what he wants

      D. introduce a film character to us

    63. 3.What do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?

      A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.

      B. Mobile phones have become very important in our life.

      C. We could not live without mobile phones.

      D. We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.

    64. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

      A. The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.

      B. When you don’t have a mobile phone，you don’t exist.

      C. The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.

      D. We humans can control ourselves and machines.
