    8．September 21，2050----At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford．He will leave the earth in the  launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November，together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet．
    Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip．Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars，but another 600 days there before he can go back home．Patrick was of course very excited，"This has been my dream since I was four，and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible．"
    To be able to pay the $ 1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake （股份） in the company his father had built．"I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today，he knew what this means to me"，says Patrick．There is no risk though that you will find Patrick begging in your street corner when he comes back， but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company．
    So，how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？"Well，since I don't have a job when I get back after selling the company，I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea"，he says and laughs．If he brings a shovel（铁锹）he can start building the first hotel there，but maybe he shouldn't expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket．
    13．How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back？D
    A．About five months        
    B．About two years           
    C．About 600 days            
    D．About 750 days
    14．The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means thatC
    A．the trip will turn Patrick into a beggar   
    B．Patrick will get much money from the trip
    C．we needn't worry about Patrick's economic condition
    D．it's likely that Patrick will be very poor after he comes back
    15．What can be inferred from the passage？A
    A．Patrick is an optimistic man
    B．A total of six people will go to Mars
    C．Patrick's father felt excited at the news  
    D．Patrick will spend all his money on the trip．

    分析 本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读．文章主要叙述了2050年的第一批去火星旅游的游客的情况．简单介绍了他们如何做准备以及费用等问题．

    解答 13-15DCA
    13．D．推理判断题．根据第二段"Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars，but another 600 days there before he can go back home"可知他花费五个月的时间到达火星，然后在回家之前，他还要在那里呆600天，5×30+600=750，所以他要在750天后才能回来．故选D．
    14．C．细节理解题．根据"There is no risk though that you will findPatrick begging in your street corner when he comes back，but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company．"可知他回来后，没有在大街上乞讨的风险，相反，他会得到两倍公司股份的钱．所以我们不用担心他的经济状况．故选C．
    15．A．推理判断题．根据"I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea"，he says and laughs．"可知他很风趣并富有想象力．所以可以看出他是一个乐观的人．故选A．

    点评 本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读．文章主要叙述了2050年的第一批去火星旅游的游客的情况．此类题型主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．细节理解题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，所以在做细节理解题时要结合原文和提干有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，再结合选项选出正确答案．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要联系上下文根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    19．I remember a day before I turned 30when a barber pulled a gray hair from my head and handed it to me．"Here you go，"she said．"This is only the beginning．"
    My mother's hair was  （61）totally（total） gray by 32，but I hoped to hold on to my light brown hair until at least 50．It didn't seem possible that I could be losing my"freshness"at just 29．But as （62）the number of gray hairs increased quickly through the years，I made my peace with （63）going（go） gray．
    Then，a few years ago，on my 45th birthday，a middle-aged woman （64）stopped（stop） me as I was walking down the sidewalk and asked what brand of hair coloring I used．I said that I used nothing．She laughed and said she （65）had thought（think） I could direct her to a product that would make her hair look like （66）mine（me）．
    I felt（67）pleased（please） for three days．I realized that sometimes what we are bored   （68）with might be things that others want to have．So why not accept and enjoy what we have？I'm now （69）proud（pride） of every strand （缕）I've earned over the years and hope to earn more （70）beforeit's too late．After all，it isn't really gray．It is a kind of color that others admire．

    We laughed long and hard together before he asked me gently，"What happened？Er…something must have happened to make you eat ice cream before lunch．"
    Suddenly，I felt a rush of love for the man on the other end of the line．He knew me well-cared enough to find out what was bothering me，and trusted me enough to help me laugh at myself．
