10、it and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives(动机)the desire 16 promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, and the pure intellectual enjoyment are only some of the possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is 17 most important motive of all. Courage is an e
11、ssential attribute in learning a language. 18 takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends 19 to native speakers, but dont be afraid of making mistakesthat is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own construction an

15、分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a
16、passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to whi
17、ch men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes moun
18、taineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no
19、“ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. H
20、is sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger
21、 men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating. C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.27. The underlined word “passion
22、” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A. strong emotion B. good way C. better feeling D. enough affection28. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_.A. it has man-made rules B. it is too dangerous for climbersC. it cant bring people joy or leisure D. it is free for climbers to use thei
23、r own methods29. We know from the passage that _. A. mountaineering has no appeal for people B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersC. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyD. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps30 . What is th
24、e best title for the passage?A. Sports in winter B. Team work in climbingC. Mountaineering D. The quality for mountaineering BBefore astronauts can go into space, they have to have the right suit. Thats why NASA(美国国家航天和航空局)scientists are developing a new kind of space suitlighter and more flexible t
25、han before. These new space suits will have lots of mobility(灵活性) for the astronauts, but will not need much maintenance. NASA wants the suits to include new technology that can help astronauts be safe in outer space.Right now, the American space suit weighs about 275 pounds and is big and massive.
26、But the suit is also easy to work in for long periods of time. The Russian space suit is less complicated, but is used only a few times and then gets thrown away.“Finding the right balance is always going to be a challenge,” said a long-time astronaut Jeff Williams. Williams has worn both types of s
27、uits. Space suits protect astronauts from both extreme heat and freezing temperatures. They carry life-packs with oxygen for the astronauts. They also shield astronauts from radiation, or particles that send out harmful rays.Scientists are using computers to design the new suits. This allows them to
28、 change the design again and again, and to even test the design out before actually making anything. “Theres a lot more capable tools and technology to get the job donea lot more knowledge, as well,” said Joe Kosmo. Kosmo helped design, develop, and test suits during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Sky
29、lab, and shuttle periods.These new space suits will be much lighter and use a new kind of complex material. They also will have a smaller life support backpack, thanks to tiny electronics. NASA hopes to have the first prototypes(原型) in development by 2018 and certify(证明) the suit by 2018. This will
30、be in time for the launch of the Orion spaceship in 2014.31. What characteristic does the new space suit have?A. The new space suit will need much maintenance.B. The new space suit will be heavier than before.C. The new space suit will have less mobility than before.D. The new suit will use new tech
31、nology to help astronauts be safe in outer space.32. Whats the disadvantage of the Russian space suit?A. The Russian space suit is big and massive.B. The Russian space suit is much complicated.C. The Russian space suit is merely used a few times.D. The Russian space suit is easy to work in for long
32、periods of time.33. The underlined word “shield” in the third paragraph might mean_.A. harm B. protect C. help D. warn34. Why can scientists test the design out before actually making the new space suits?A. Because designing the new space suit is not a complex task.B. Because computers are being used to help scientists design the new space suits.C. Because it needs little knowledge to desi
