NASA has a new job listing, and it’s no joke. The US space agency (机构) is looking for a “joker” to join their planned mission (任务)to Mars.
A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a communications delay (延迟) of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens.
“When you’re living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur,” Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian.
This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. “These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together,” Johnson said.
In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren’t alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.
There are other examples of team “clowns”. One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey, full of danger. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook at Amundsen’s team, was a “clown”. He made people laugh through the whole journey. Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.
But if you’re hoping that your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars, that probably won’t happen.
“Being funny won’t be enough to land somebody the job,” Johnson said. “They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer.”
Besides, they must be in top physical condition.
4. What is on NASA’s new job listing?
A. A good cook.
B. A talented clown.
C. A funny engineer.
D. A popular comedian.
5. What does the underlined word “confined” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. small
B. empty
C. open
D. crowded
6. The author thinks humor can help astronauts ________.
A. get together
B. have a sense of humor
C. stop feeling worried
D. work as a team
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国宇航局正在寻找一位“小丑”与宇航员一起执行火星任务，这个人不但要有幽默感，还要是一名优秀的科学家和工程师。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The US space agency (机构) is looking for a “joker” to join their planned mission (任务) to Mars.(美国宇航局正在寻找一名“小丑”加入他们计划中的火星任务)”和倒数第二段中““Being funny won’t be enough to land somebody the job,” Johnson said. “They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer.”(约翰逊说：“光是搞笑还不足以让人得到这份工作。”“他们还需要成为优秀的科学家和工程师。”)”可知，NASA的新任务是寻找一个风趣的工程师，故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段““When you’re living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur,” Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian.(佛罗里达大学的科学家杰弗里·约翰逊在接受《卫报》采访时表示：“当你和其他人长时间生活在一个confined空间里，比如执行火星任务时，很可能会出现问题。”)”并结合常识可知，此处是指当和其他人长时间生活在航天器这样一个狭窄的空间里可能会出问题，即划线词意为“狭小的”，与small同义。故选A。
6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. “These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together,” Johnson said.(这可能就是为什么美国宇航局想要一个有幽默感的宇航员。“这些人有能力把所有人团结起来，”约翰逊说)”可知，幽默可以在任务中鼓励团队合作，故选D。
C
There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route (线路) the city planners laid down for us.
Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it — there are 100, 000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the FIG is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.
But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”
Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It’s great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
7. How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?
A. They plan the way themselves.
B. They move on as they wish.
C. They run faster than others.
D. They follow certain routes.
8. Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics?
A. It’s a special way of life.
B. It draws their attention.
C. It helps balance people’s life.
D. It’s good for people to keep healthy.
9. What is the author’s idea on parkour?
A. It is more exciting than other sports.
B. It is worth adding to the sporting event.
C. It is more a lifestyle than a competition.
D. It encourages people to challenge themselves.
10. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Parkour practitioners
B. Making the city their own
C. Training in a different way
D. A new sports competition
【答案】7. B 8. D 9. C 10. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了跑酷这项体育运动，跑酷爱好者将城市作为自己的游乐场，按照自己的意愿在城市中移动。国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。然而作者却觉得它是一种生活方式而并非比赛。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path.(对他们来说，没有设计好的路线。这里没有墙，也没有楼梯——他们跳、爬、滚、爬，穿过、穿过、越过或从他们路上发现的任何东西下面移动)”可推知，跑酷爱好者会按照自己的意愿移动。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it — there are 100, 000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the FIG is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.(国际体操联合会已经注意到这项运动正吸引着越来越多的人——据《卫报》报道，目前仅在英国就有10万人参加跑酷——以及跑酷如何有助于人们变得更强壮：它可以锻炼协调性和平衡性。因此，该组织正在考虑接受跑酷为一项新运动，并在2024年将其加入奥运会)”可知，国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.(他们把跑酷视为一种表达自己的方式，通过放松的动作和创造性的路线，同时释放自己的压力)”和倒数第一段“But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.(但是，如果他们知道生活中并非所有事都是比赛的话，就会更好了)”可推知，在作者看来，酷跑是一种人们放松、释放压力的一种生活方式，而并非一种比赛。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.(跑酷练习者对城市的看法却完全不同。对他们来说，没有固定的路线。没有墙，也没有楼梯——因为他们通过跳跃、攀爬、翻滚和爬行来穿越、穿过、翻越和从任何他们发现的东西下面移动。城市就是他们的游乐场)”，结合文章主要介绍了跑酷这项体育运动，跑酷爱好者将城市作为自己的游乐场，按照自己的意愿在城市中移动。国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。作者认为跑酷帮助人们变得有创造力，还可以释放压力。由此可知，B选项“将城市归为他们自己所有”最符合文章标题。故选B。

This is common in almost all offices.
Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories. Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no longer there. ____13____ Technology has taken all their time.
Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for “technology detox”. ___14___ If not, according to Oxford Dictionary, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc., as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了现代人对科技的依赖，无论是在办公室的上班簇还是家里的小孩，甚至整个社会。科技确实重要，但我们也要保持生活的真实性，体验真正的生活。
【11题详解】
上两句提到“如果你的电脑，iPad或笔记本电脑今天死机，会发生什么？如果有人拿走你的手机几天或者你弄丢了手机会怎样呢？”承接上文，E选项“如果想到这些会使你焦虑不安，那么你不是一个人（不是只有你有这种情况）”切题。该选项中的incidences对应上文两个问题中发生的情况，该选项的not alone对应下文的most people。故选E项。
【12题详解】
上一句提到“如果你碰巧在办公室工作，你可能比较熟悉这种趋势。”承接上文，C选项“如果网络关闭，今天所有的任务都会结束。”切题。该选项中的all the tasks与上文的work in offices相呼应。故选C项。
13题详解】
上一句提到“那些看卡通片和朋友玩耍的夜晚活动已经不存在了”承接上文，G项“现如今，大多数小孩待在室内玩电脑游戏或者玩智能手机。”切题。整个这一段都是讲的科技对小孩的影响，只有G选项提到了小孩。故选G项。
【14题详解】
上一句提到“它已经变得如此严重，以至于医生建议进行‘科技排毒’。”承接上文，A项“也许你可能听说过。”切题。该选项中的it对应上一句的“technology detox”，这是一个专有名词，也许你可能听说过。后一句提到“如果没有，根据牛津字典……”所以A选项正好将这两句话连接了起来。故选A项。
【15题详解】
上一句提到“我们必须承认，当今社会对被越来越多的引入我们的生活的发明正在失去自制力。”下一句提到“同时，当我们在现实生活中应该体验生活的时候，我们应该有把它关掉的纪律。”承接上下文，B项“我们欣赏技术，因为它有它的好处。”切题。技术正让我们失去自制能力，但我们不能全盘否定，它有它的好处，但同时我们应该有自制能力。B项正好将前后句连接起来了。故选B项
【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第4小题中的“it”对应上文“technology detox”，这是一个专有名词，也许你可能听说过。后一句提到“如果没有，根据牛津字典……”所以A选项正好将这两句话连接了起来。故选A项。

39. to let 40. but
41. the 42. has
43. held 44. surely
45. impression
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了伦敦的象征——塔桥，本文围绕塔桥的名字来历、历史以及颜色等方面进行了讲述。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它靠近伦敦塔，塔桥名字就是由此而来的。分析可知空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the Tower of London，作介词from的宾语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：据记载，塔桥建于1894年，现在它是世界上最著名的桥梁之一。空处为主语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语in 1894判断为一般过去时，且主语the Tower Bridge和build之间为被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是单数，故填was built。
【38题详解】
考查形容词的级。句意同上。根据“one of+形容词最高级+名词复数”可知，此处应用famous的最高级the most famous。故填most famous。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：过去每天升高50次左右，但现在每周只升高4到5次。结合句意可知，上下文为转折关系，应用连词but连接。故填but。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们常常认为伦敦塔和塔桥是同一时代的。same通常和冠词the搭配，the same age“同一时代”。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：但事实上，这座塔是1000年前建造的，而这座桥只有100多年的历史。空处作谓语，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语 the Bridge是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2012年在伦敦举行的夏季奥运会开幕式上也出现了它的照片。句中已有谓语动词appeared且无连词，故空处应用非谓语动词，逻辑主语the opening of the Summer Olympic Games和hold之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填held。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：你肯定会有一次美妙的经历，它会给你留下持久的印象。修饰动词have，应用sure的副词形式。故填surely。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意同上，作lasting的宾语，应用impress的名词形式，impression“印象”是可数名词，冠词a提示用其单数形式。故填impression。

61. 正是带着坚定的决心，他成功地克服了所有挑战和苦难。（强调句）
_______he overcame all the challenges and difficulties successfully.
【答案】It was with great determination that

【答案】were rescuing the people trapped in the ruins when

【答案】 ①. is under construction ②. whose aim
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和定语从句。根据中英文提示，第一空表达“正在建设中”可用短语be under construction，陈述现在的事实，用一般现在时；根据要求“其目的在于保护当地传统文化”应处理为非限制性定语从句，先行词是“一座博物馆正在建设中”这件事，作名词aim“目的”的定语，应用关系代词whose引导从句。故填is under construction；whose aim。
64. 她不仅为祖国赢得了荣誉, 也为人们树立了榜样。
Not only ________glory for her country, but also ________to people.
【答案】 ①. did she win ②. set an example
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和部分倒装。根据中英文提示，“为……赢得荣誉”是win glory for，win作谓语，陈述过去的事情用一般过去时，not only位于句首时，所在句子要部分倒装，此处将助动词did置于主语she之前；“为……树立榜样”是set an example to sb.，set作谓语，也用一般过去时。故填did she win；set an example。
65. 随着假期的临近，越来越多的人计划外出旅游，使得订票很难。
________, more and more people plan to go travelling, ________to book a ticket.
【答案】 ①. With the holiday approaching ②. making it difficult
【解析】
【详解】考查with复合结构和非谓语动词。“假期”是holiday，此处为特指，用定冠词修饰，“临近”是approach，“随着假期的临近”可处理为with复合结构，holiday和approach之间是主动关系，用现在分词作宾补，即with the holiday approaching；“使得做某事困难”可表达为make it difficult to do sth.，此处可处理为非谓语动词作状语，表示自然的结果，用现在分词形式。综上，故填With the holiday approaching；making it difficult

【答案】 My English Learning
In the first few weeks at senior high school, learning English was a really big challenge for me. There were so many strange words that I couldn’t follow the teacher in class. Besides, I found it difficult to express myself in English, which made me less confident.
With the problems in mind, I turned to my English teacher, who gave me some useful advice. According to what she told me, I began to read some short passages and take notes of the new words. Gradually, my vocabulary was increasing. What’s more, in order to improve my oral English, I made every effort to practice speaking English in school and watch English programmes at home.
At present, I have no difficulty getting involved in class and I am even brave to sign up for an English speech contest. I believe the harder I work, the greater progress I will make.
