The mission will accomplish the first spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.“All the major systems involved in the launching are now in the final preparation. The main tests for the spacecraft, the Long-March II-F rocket, suits for the space walk and a satellite accompanying the fly have alos been finished,” said the spokesman.In addition, the ground control system is fully prepared, including the launch site, the landing site, and the communication for observation and control.When Shenzhou-7 enters its orbit, one of the three astronauts will conduct a space walk, said Zhao Changxi, a senior scientist with the project, earlier.According to Zhao, cameras would be fixed outside and inside of the ship for live broadcasting of the space walk.While the last mission of Shenzhou-6, with a crew of two, was aimed at several days of manned flight, this time the task might be more stringentas one of its main goals is the space walk.Earlier reports said a crew of six astronauts had been chosen for the mission, with three manning the spacecraft and three substitutes.China successfully put two manned spacecrafts into orbit in 2003 and 2005 respectively, becoming the third country to send an astronaut into space after the United States and the former Soviet Union(now Russia).56. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Shenzhou-7 is better equipped than the last two spaceships.B. Shenzhou-7 will be more successful than the last two launches.C. All the systems involved in the launching have been prepared.D. China is ready for the launching of Shenzhou-757. We can learn from the passage _.A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk.B. Three of the six astronauts chosen for the mission will walk in space.C. The space walk will be live broadcast on TVD. Everything has been prepared except the communication system58.

Now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere. The following two graphs(图表)are adopted from the column of “City Information” on the web-page of Beijing Review.Graph 1: Olympic Cities Air Quality ReportCityDateAPIMajorPollutantAirQualityDegreeQualityConditionBeijingSep. 837N/AIVery GoodQinhuangdaoSep. 852PM10IIGoodQingdaoSep. 868PM10IIGoodShanghaiSep. 867PM10IIGoodShenyangSep. 888PM10IIGoodTianjinSep. 854PM10IIGoodGraph 2: Chinese National StandardAPI ValuesLevels of health concernColorsWhen the API is in this range:air quality conditions are:as symbolized by this color:0 to 50Very GoodBlue51 to 100GoodGreen101 to 150Slight PollutionYellow151 to 200Moderate PollutionOrange201 to 250Medium PollutionRed251 to 300High PollutionPurple301 to 500HazardousBrownNotes: API stands for Air Pollution Index(指数) Particulate Matter(PM10)is a major component of air pollution that threatens both our health and our environment. It consists of very small liquid and solid particles floating in the air. Sulfur dioxide(SO2) acts as an acid. Inhalation(吸入)results in labored breathing, coughing, and/or a sore throat and may cause permanent lung damage.59. According to Graph 1, which of the following cities has the highest air pollution index?A. QinhuangdaoB. TianjingC. ShenyangD. Qingdao60. If your city is symbolized by either red or purple, the pollution in your city is _.A. Moderate or slightB. Moderate or noneC. Medium or slightD. Medium or high61. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. On September 8th the color-symbol of Beijing Citys air quality is “Blue”.B. With API value below 150 the air is free from being polluted.C. The colors from Purple to Yellow indicate the air quality is becoming much worse.D. When there are floating solid particles and dust in the air, it is hazardous pollution.62. When more citizens are beginning to have labored breathing soon after they are in the open air, it suggests that _.A. it is so cold that they may have caught a coldB. there is a large amount of sulfur dioxide in the airC. they are starting to cough or have a feverD. they must be infected with permanent lung diseaseCIt doesnt matter how clever you are or how much education youve had, you can still improve your mind. And improving your intelligence quotient(IQ) doesnt have to mean studying hard. There are many methods that can help your brain. Here are three of them, from the British science magazine New Scientist.Working memoryIQ is not decided by genetics. Some methods can help increase it.Why: Until recently, a persons IQ was thought to be determined by genetics. But recent studies suggest that a basic brain function called working memory could increase ones IQ. Working memory is the brains short-term storage system. The amount of information the working memory can hold is related to general intelligence.How: Training helps us expand the working memory. Common training tasks include: doing math questions that have intermediate(中间的) steps; remembering the position of objects on a map; or remembering a string of digits(数字), like a phone number, without writing it down.Body and mindPhysical exercise can help the brain as well as the body. Its good for those who hate studying hard.Why: Physical exercise helps the growth of new brain cells. Until recently, it was believed that we produced no new brain cells in our lifetime. But in 2000, US scientist Fred Gage showed that even adults could grow new brain cells. He also found that exercise was one of the best ways to achieve this.How: Simply walking for half an hour three times a week can improve learning, concentration and reasoning by 15 percent. Even more gentle exercise like yoga can do good for your brain. A study last year showed that the best way to get a mental lift is to bend over backwards.The Mozart effectMusic may tune up your thinking. But simply turning up the sound wont make you clever.Why: American scientist Frances Rauscher made waves by discovering in 1995 that listening to Mozart improved peoples mathematical reasoning. Last year, Rauscher reported that Mozarts music seemed to increase activity in genes involved in nerve-cell signaling in the brain.How: Listening to Mozart and taking music lessons. Music lessons can really help. Six-year-old children who were given music lessons got a 2 to 3 point increase in IQ scores. Music lessons exercise a lot of mental skills, because of the need of accurate finger movements, and listening for rhythm.63. According to the passage, if you dont like to study hard, youd better _ to improve your IQ.A. listen to musicB. learn how to concentrateC. bend over backwards regularlyD. try some physical exercise64. The underlined word “this” refers to _.A. the improvement of ones IQB. the growth of new brain cellsC. physical exerciseD. the study of Fred Gage65. From the article we can conclude that it is wrong to think that _.A. listening to Mozart improves peoples mathematical reasoningB. people can not produce new brain cells as they grow olderC. children taking music lessons can increase their IQ scoresD. Frances Rauscher suggests people listen to Mozart66. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. point out peoples wrong ideas about IQB. report some new discoveriesC. introduce some simple ways to improve peoples IQD. tell the relationship between IQ and ways of exercisingDMargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts(工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.”The hours shes chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.”The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since Ive got to be here, I try to enjoy myselfand I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doing, but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”67. Margaret gave up her job as a nurse because _.A. she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB. she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC. she needed the right time to look after her childrenD. she felt tired of taking care of patients68. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _.A. they never clean their officesB. they look down upon cleanersC. they never do their work carefullyD. they always make a mess in their offices69.
