+ Q9 C. E9 \3 }. x3 ]0 l　　Should the U.S. halt human apace flight?
　　The Columbia accident has revived the debate on whether the rewards of human space exploration are worth the risks No. I was a teacher when men first landed on the moon in 1969, and I remember how it moved my students and this country.　　　　(46) And we haven't ventured outward since then. That's 30 years too long! America's human space-flight program is adrift, with no clear vision or goals beyond the completion of the International Space Station.
　　I want NASA to establish a phased series of goals over the next 20 years, including human visits to asteroids that cross the Earth's orbit, establishing a research and living facility for humans on the moon, and human expeditions to the surface of Mars and its moons.　　　　(47)
　　An astronaut is today's Christopher Columbus, who sailed into the unknown and discovered the Americas. The knowledge we gain from having actual people exploring can never be replaced by robots.　　　　(48) Robots are useful, but humans can do things that robots can't.
　　The real obstacle we face in overcoming the drift in the nation's human space-flight program is not technological and it's not financial. 　　　　(49)
5 q# i9 A( W& V; r9 D, O　　The lesson from the Columbia accident is not that humans don't belong in space.　　　　(50)
0 ]! H4 w) T' z% M! Z% P( r1 @　　A　Instead, we should honor the memory of the lost astronauts by pushing our exploration of space future.

　　C　It's the lack of commitment to get started.

　　E　It is now more than 30 years since the last American left the surface of the moon and returned to Earth.

　　我们首先看六个选项，目的是为了能够抓住一些关联词并且能够了解选项的意思，为后面做题做准备。

　　B 宇航员是扩展探索的关键。来自www.Examw.com
6 D0 }3 y5 D1 W9 Y: a　　C 注意这里的it，前面一定是有it指代的对象。
7 _9 z, z9 Z7 X  g7 v' S3 l　　D Until then...直到那时...,空句前面
8 A$ ^8 o8 l  C% G& p1 B  r$ }　　E 最近的一位美国人离开月球表面，回到地球的事已经是30多年前了。
　　F 送人类进入太空并且使其能回到地面的能力给我们带来了关于人类本身和我们宇宙的惊奇信息。
　　46. E　由前句我们可知，这是一名老师在讲述人类第一次登上月球带给他和他学生的感动，后面一句是And we haven't ventured outward since then我们从那以后就没有了对外界的冒险。所以空句应该是E
6 h) d" ]9 E( i0 p- x) o  ^　　47. B　这段话只有一个句子，其中用的最多的名词就是human，例如human visits，living facility for humans，human expeditions原因就是选项B，因为宇航员是扩展探索的关键。原文中的human指的就是宇航员。
3 h4 ?3 I0 k( K9 A2 o% j7 H* q　　48. F　空句后面是Robots are useful, but humans can do things that robots can't.虽然机器人很有用，但是人类能做机器人不能做的事。很明显这是在强调人类的能力，所以选项F符合。
: P, I3 r1 Z# b. S6 K7 H/ H　　49. C 这段话是讲人类太空飞行中遇到的漂移解决方案。既不是技术上的，也不是财政上的，而是缺乏准备开始为宇航事业献身精神。
( j# [& b. n# a- Y2 s　　50. A 从哥伦比亚事故中吸取的教训不是我们不属于太空，而是我们应该展开太空探索以此来表达我们对那些牺牲了的宇航员的梦想的尊敬。

</p>　　You Need Courage!
　　Shortly after I began a career in business, I learned that Carl Weatherup, president of PepsiCo (百事可乐公司), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment.(1)
) ^0 G. y1 u+ s, G* ]% T3 h7 v　　So there I was sitting outside the university's auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students……, and talking, and talking.(2) He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes. Decision time.
5 `2 U# F: D& |; t) C$ s. G0 \$ q　　I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting "You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 p.m." I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle (过道) toward him as he talked. Mr. Weatherup stopped.(3) Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late. He thanked them for their attention, wished them luck and walked out to where I was now sitting, holding my breath.
　　He looked at the card and then at me. "Let me guess," he said. "You're Jeff." He smiled.(4)
　　He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time; some wonderful stories that I still use, and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York. But what he gave me that value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done.(5) When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don't.
* R/ H! i6 x  O) S　　A　I began breathing again and we grabbed (霸占) an office right there at school and closed the door.
　　B　As I sat listening to him, I knew that I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.
　　C　I became alarmed: his talk wasn't ending when it should have
$ R9 w$ @; a: F( c　　D　He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.
$ h1 ^% c# F9 `5 M$ R　　E　I was told, however, that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.
　　F　I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came.中华考试网(www．Examw。com)
/ T8 U6 Y9 A  A5 {( c6 E　　答案：
" X( z8 r' U$ o  ^3 I　　1. E　　2. C　　3. F　　4. A　　5. D
9 T6 z  Z! B) m/ P4 L　　解析:
　　1. E　我们一起看看空句的前面是I tracked down the person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment.我将那个拿着他日程的人追到底，终于为自己争取到了一个面试机会。和这个动作比较接近的是E选项，但是他说他的日程很紧，只能挤出15分钟。恰好为后文做了铺垫，这短短的15分钟面试究竟会发生什么样的故事。
　　2. C　空句的前面是作者在等待百事总裁Carl Weatherup，因为他给学生们演讲，并且这里用了talking，and talking,空句后面说He was now five minutes over他已经超过了5分钟了，所以空句应该是作者在等待Carl Weatherup先生的状态，所以C选项很符合句子的意思，作者感觉到Carl Weatherup先生的演讲可能不会按时结束，因此很焦急。
5 H# x2 k% X, C8 [8 k. ^) H　　3. F　前句话是作者在my business card的背面写着提示Weatherup先生他在2：30分还有个会面的提示语，然后有个pushed open the doors...walked straight up...这里的连贯性动作其实就是作者走进屋将card交给Weatherup先生的过程，所以选项F恰好符合意思。
. `, f4 I, f: \& M# {% k1 m4 _　　4. A　当Weatherup先生已经猜出我就是他要会面的那个人时，作者的反应时怎样的呢?A是作者的反应，D是Weatherup先生说的话。很显然D是不符合这里的语境。
$ J! v  v0 H) `4 Z# M+ F2 h5 r7 w　　5. D 注意最后一句话When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don't.这应该是这件事带给作者的感受，这里很重要的因素就是have the nerve to act，选项中与nerve相关的就是Weatherup先生的话He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.
