　　Surface Exploration. Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas.Aside from Earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.

　　Data Collection. Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，and finding water are all performed much quicker and more accurately(精確地)by robots.

　　Cost Effective. The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also have enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.

　　Space Travel. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are the Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.

　　31．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?

　　A．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.

　　B．It may be dangerous for human to explore the solar system except the earth.

　　C．Both the Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water in the Mars.

　　D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.

　　32．Which column of the passage could come from?

　　B．Finance.

　　C．Travel.

　　D．Science.

　　課時作業(yè)(十四)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：盡管天黑了，我的父親仍然借著月光在田野里干活。

　　2．A　考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：兩國高層領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人之間的會談在友好的氣氛中進行著。atmosphere氣氛；state狀態(tài)；situation處境；phenomenon現(xiàn)象。由句意可知A項正確。

　　3．C　考查副詞詞義辨析。句意：計算機革命或許像工業(yè)革命一樣能根本地改變社會。fundamentally基礎(chǔ)地，根本地，重要地，符合題意。insignificantly不重要的，不顯著的；comparatively相對地，對比地。

　　4．C　考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：丈夫和妻子之間發(fā)生了一次激烈的爭吵；之后，妻子離家出走，再也沒回來。violent激烈的，暴力的；sensitive敏感的；serious嚴重的，嚴肅的；strict嚴格的。

　　5．A　考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：盡管大多數(shù)人知道吸煙增加得癌癥的機率，但是讓他們戒掉依然很難。multiply增加；add增加(如果add后加to則可選)；combine結(jié)合，聯(lián)合；gain獲得，得到。

　　6．B　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：在經(jīng)濟危機來臨之前，John就覺察到這家公司即將倒閉，于是就及時退了出來。A使車停下；B離開，(火車)駛出車站；C脫去，勝利完成；D拆毀(建筑物)，拖垮。根據(jù)句意判斷選B，表示“離開，辭職”。

　　7．A　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：相反地，你應(yīng)做的是要振作起來尋找問題的解決之道。cheer up意為“振作起來”。

　　8．B　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：我計劃舉行一次露天聚會，但是我不敢保證，因為這要取決于天氣。link with聯(lián)系著；depend on取決于，依賴；connect to連接；decide on決定。由句意不難推出答案為B。

　　9．B　考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：愛麗絲面帶迷惑的表情看了那封信，不知道是誰寄給她的。這里是迷惑的表情，表現(xiàn)出她的內(nèi)心感受，故用修飾人的詞來修飾expression。因此答案選B。

　　10．A　考查介詞短語辨析。句意：廣場中央的那座特殊的建筑物是現(xiàn)存最古老的木造建筑。in existence現(xiàn)存，存在；in silence保持安靜；in safety處于安全中；in need需要。根據(jù)句意答案選A。

　　Ⅱ.態(tài)度決定一切。假如一個人的心態(tài)良好，始終保持樂觀的狀態(tài)，死神也會望而卻步，為他打開生命的綠燈。

　　11．B　根據(jù)第三段中的內(nèi)容可知他總是心態(tài)“良好”。D項表示“平衡的”，不符合語境。

　　12．A　第三段的后半部分提到在醫(yī)生和護士對他不抱有希望時他決定自己活下來，由此可知他的話總是非?！皹酚^的”。

　　13．A　根據(jù)他起死回生的經(jīng)歷可知，他認為，底線是你選擇“如何”生活。后三項內(nèi)容都與他的特殊經(jīng)歷在語意邏輯上不符。

　　14．D　經(jīng)營飯店時開著后門顯然是不應(yīng)該發(fā)生的事。be supposed to do sth表示“應(yīng)該做某事”。

　　15．C　此處表示在三個全副武裝的強盜的槍口的威脅下被搶劫，此處hold up表示“攔劫，搶劫”，尤指持槍搶劫。pull up表示“拔起，停車，斥責(zé)”；put up表示“舉起，建造，張貼”；do up表示“打扮，修理”，都不符合所給語境。

　　16．B　強盜的目的是錢，所以他們強迫他打開“保險箱”。safe在這里用作名詞，意為“保險箱，保險柜”。

　　17．A　根據(jù)當時的情形可推斷他因為“緊張”輸錯了密碼。

　　18．D　本段的最后部分提到他的身體中仍然殘留著子彈碎片，由此可知他們開槍打了他。

　　19．B　在強盜逃跑后，他被發(fā)現(xiàn)得很及時并被匆忙送往急救中心。此處relatively表示“相當?shù)?，相當程度上”。A項表示“很可能”；C項表示“僅僅”；D項表示“適度地，合理地”，明顯不符合語境。

　　20．D　上一段最后一句提到經(jīng)過長達18個小時的手術(shù)和幾個星期的悉心護理，他已經(jīng)出院。再結(jié)合下一句中醫(yī)生對他的安慰可知他認為那里的醫(yī)生很“好”。

　　21．C　他當時命危在旦夕，由此可推斷是被“推”進急救室的。前兩項不符合語境；文章中沒有提到他不愿接受緊急治療，所以D項錯誤。

　　22．B　他從醫(yī)生和護士臉上的“表情”中察覺到了他存活希望的渺茫。A、D兩項不符合后文語境。C項與on the faces搭配不當。

　　23．A　根據(jù)下一句可知他當時非常“恐懼”。后三項分別表示“尷尬的”、“失望的”、“煩悶的”，都與下文語境不符。

　　24．D　他從醫(yī)生和護士臉上的表情讀懂了他們所要表達的信息，此處read表示“了解，領(lǐng)悟”。

　　25．D　既然醫(yī)生和護士都對他不抱有希望，根據(jù)下文他的幽默可知，他需要采取“行動”。

　　26．A　上一句提到護士長問他對什么藥物過敏，然后醫(yī)生和護士停止工作等待他的答復(fù)，由此可知他“思考”了一會兒后決定活下來。
