I’ve done rock climbing and deep-sea diving and slept in rainforests in the jungle of Indonesia.

A

IT was a 12-minute walk into the unknown, and it changed the history of space exploration forever. The first-ever spacewalk by former Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, 50 years ago on March 18, was also the first big test of space suit technology. The old Soviet-style space suit was not quite ready yet, however. It was affected by the lack of atmospheric (大气的) pressure in space. When Leonov had completed his space walk, he realized that his space suit “had inflated (膨胀) like a balloon, preventing him from getting back inside the spacecraft”, according to the BBC. The cosmonaut let half of the air out of his spacesuit and survived despite losing oxygen. Nowadays, of course, this type of incident does not happen. But the problem of what to wear in space is still important, as space travel may soon be available to more people than ever.

In 2017, Space X and Boeing may become the first private companies to put people in space. What should the new, rich space travelers wear? Well, their outfits (服装) won’t be like the white, boxy suits in the film Gravity. Those types of extra-vehicular (飞船外的) activity (EVA) suits will be for professionals working outside a spacecraft. The average space traveler will instead need something to wear inside in case of an emergency when getting up and down again in a rocket or during docking.

These are called IVA (intra-vehicular activity) pressure suits, which should be effective, comfortable, and perhaps even fashionable. The best-known example is the orange “pumpkin suit” made famous by NASA, but more fashionable options may later be available.

In fact, fashion and space have been together for years. The first space suits for the Apollo moon program were built by Playtex, an underwear maker, and the company still works with NASA.

Nowadays in Brooklyn, New York there is a company called Final Frontier Design that makes the latest in space suit technology. All of their staff have backgrounds in show business (演艺界), making Broadway musical and circus (马戏团) costumes.

5

They are currently looking to introduce their space tech, like vibrating (振动的) belts that can give directions by feel, to people on Earth.

The walk into unknown space fashion is just beginning. How would you show off in space?

56. According to the article, today’s space travelers have different experiences to that of Alexei Leonov because ______.

A. they have to perform space walks for long periods

B. today’s space suits are much safer and more convenient C. they are provided with extra oxygen to survive in space D. they can wear their own outfits on space missions 57. The phrase “this type of incident” in Paragraph 3 refers to situations in which astronauts ______.

A. fail their space walk missions B. put on the wrong space suit

C. have trouble with their space suits D. forget the correct operating procedures

58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the space suits that will be made for private companies’ space travelers in the near future?

A. They will be intended for tough working conditions outside a spacecraft. B. They will have to be orange.

C. They will be very heavy and expensive despite their fashionable look. D. They will be created with the help of artists and designers. 59.What is the best title of the passage? A. Fashion comes to space.

B. Space travel exploration becomes more popular. C. What happened to Alexei Leonov 50 years ago? D. How space suits work?

B

WHEN my brother Joe was 6 months old, my mother brought him home from the hospital and told me to watch him while she fixed supper. We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying.

“He’s blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.” I looked at Joe. He was laughing. “He can’t be blind,” I said. “He smiles at my face.” “He smiles at your voice,” she said. “He’ll never see your face.” That was that. Joe was blind. Mama went back to cooking. I went back to playing a dog.

From the age of 8, Joe boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille. When he was 16, the school said he’d learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter. At 21, Joe moved out to live on his own, he said, “like a man,” in an apartment 30 miles (48 km) away. He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry, and do almost anything else he needed.

Then he met the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joe called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.” They shared 10 good years before he lost her to cancer. Painfully soon after, he also lost our

6

mother, who was his champion, and our stepfather, who was Joe’s best friend. What is left when you lose the loves of your life? My brother clung with an iron fist (拳头) to three gifts: Faith, hope and love.

His faith grew stronger. He always had hope. And his love for his family has never gotten weaker, despite death or disappointment. Loved ones leave, but love remains. The years ahead may prove to be his hardest. His legs are growing weaker,

threatening to take away the independence he’s fought so hard to keep. My sister and I often wonder what will happen if Joe can’t live on his own. It’s not up to us. We’ll do what we can, but it’s his life. He won’t have it any other way. You don’t find strength to do something until it’s time to do it. Joe has found it whenever he has needed it. I believe he will again.

60. When the author’s mother brought her little brother Joe back from the hospital, the author ______.

A. was sad because he couldn’t see things clearly B. immediately introduced him to the family dog

C. worried that he might steal her mother’s love from her D. had great fun playing a game with him

61. Which of the following order of events is CORRECT according to the article? a. Joe started learning Braille at a school for the deaf and the blind. b. Joe moved out to live independently and learned to cook and clean. c. Joe was sent back home with his Braille typewriter.

d. Joe had a hard time when he lost three beloved family members. e. Joe fell in love with a blind girl the first time they met. A. abedc B. acbed C. acebd D. aecbd

62. What is the key message the author wants to convey(表达) through the article? A. People have to spend more time with their loved ones.

B. The disabled deserve our respect and support so that they can live an independent life.

C. Love, hope and determination can keep a man going despite hardship. D. People should learn to get over the loss of their loved ones as love always remains.

C

Christmas is long gone and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it's a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here are a few things you need to know: What determines price?

The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l8K. Anything over l8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.

How much can you expect to pay?

That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(宝石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:

●How long has the company been around?

7

●What is its return policy?

● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?

● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones? Yellow gold? White? Rose?

Yes, it's confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there are a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “look for less”, consider gold plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best.

What about sterling silver(标准纯银)? Sterling silver has been an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver--something you used to see only with gold.

Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box. 63. According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.

A. being charged B. being affected C. being cheated D. being attracted

. Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time? A. A 14K necklace. B. A gold-plated ring. C. A gemstone necklace. D. A vermeil earring.

65. We can infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept ________ A. in a cold place B. in a dry place C. in a wet place D. in a hot place 66. The author writes the passage mainly to ________. A. encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry B. tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver

C. introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver D. inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelry

D

In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.

It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.

New lineages for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest(投资) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage(愤怒)”—caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.

“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School, “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust—

8

the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”

Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be come out within five hours, but getting it done within two ); replacing a faulty product immediately: throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼券) as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.

Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,” I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever suggests best meets the case). Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.

For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen. British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.

Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as \"we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment. 67. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that . A. well-treated customers promote business

B. unsatisfied customers receive better service C. Satisfied customers catch more attention D. complaining customers are hard to satisfy

68. The writer mentions “phone rage” (Paragraph 3) to show that . A. customers often use phones to express their anger B. Customer care becomes more demanding C. people still prefer to buy goods online

D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services

69. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6), what would he probably say? A. “I’m sorry for the delay.” B. “I appreciate your understanding.” C. “I know how upset you must be.” D. “I know it’s our fault.” 70. Which of the following is conveyed in this article?

A. Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers. B. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market. C. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers. D. Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.

Once kids hit the teenage years, parenting becomes more difficult than ever.

9

Establishing（建立） effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers. House rules must respect teenagers’ desire to be independent and make sure they behave responsibly.

How can effective house rules be established?

First of all, get your teenager to take part in making the rules, which can help keep them motivated to follow them. Ask their opinion about what sorts of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas.

When creating the list of rules, don’t list every single rule imaginable. Instead, try to limit it to the ten most important rules. I’ve seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list. Remember, it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide.

Then, it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent (显眼的) location. Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere where everyone can see them is a good reminder. Revise the rules whenever there’s a need, not very frequently though.

Explain clearly in advance what negative consequences(后果) will be in store when a rule gets broken. But ensure（保证） that none of your consequences are equal to abusive parenting. For example, take off the rule that says — “if you don’t get home by 11 at night, make arrangements to stay elsewhere until morning”. Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as consequences for disobeying rules.

Following these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement (执行) will help improve your teenager’s behavior. Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!

第六部分 书面表达 (共1题，满分20分)

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my opinion, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children. Every time when parents take them to the amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.

Children need the direction from their parents. There is some wrong behavior in our society, such as dishonesty, violence and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this negative influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do.

I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time with children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy work. 【写作内容】

Parents Should Be Responsible For Children's Behaviors

The passage mainly tells us that parents play an important part in children's growth, suggesting that no matter how busy parents are, they should spend more time staying with their children and give proper instructions.

We know it is important for children to develop good habits. So it is disappointing and sad to see some children around us showing bad habits. As far as I am concerned, parents should be responsible for helping children develop good habits. The reasons are as follows. To start with, it is commonly held that parents are the first teachers of their children. The children adopt many ways and thoughts of their parents as they are growing. What’s more, parents' duties include not only providing food and clothing, but also knowledge and common sense required to go on well in society. Therefore, I hope parents can spend more time staying with their children, giving proper guidance to their children. Meanwhile, parents should mind their words and acts, setting a good example to their children. 【解析】无 【备注】无
