　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　Barbara Morgan's lifelong dream has always been to travel into space. On August 8，

　　2007，

　　her wish came true. The former teacher was one of seven crewmembers on the Space Shuttle Endeavour，

　　which flew into space from NASA's Kennedy Space Station in Florida.

　　Morgan taught at a primary school in Boise from 1975 to 1998 — with some time off for astronaut training. In 1985，

　　she was chosen as a backup for Christa McAuliffe，

　　who was to be the first teacher in space. On January 28，

　　1986，

　　the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after take-off killing McAuliffe and the other six crewmembers.

　　After the Challenger accident，

　　Morgan continued to teach. In 1998，

　　she was asked to become an astronaut. Morgan's mission aboard Endeavour includes overseeing the move of 5，

　　000 pounds of goods from the shuttle to the International Space Station and operating the shuttle's robotic arm.

　　Morgan gave students an unusual class after she was in space. Morgan's out-of-this-world class was broadcast live on NASA television. Her husband Clay Morgan said he couldn't help but smile as he watched her talk to students. “I'm just so proud of her and how she's going to do all this and do the work of an astronaut as well as a teacher，

　　” he said. “She just kept telling me how unbelievable it was to be in space and I think it's much better than she expected.” One student asked Morgan how being a teacher compared to being an astronaut. “We explore，

　　we discover and we share，

　　” she said. “The great thing about being a teacher is you get to do that with students，

　　and the great thing about being an astronaut is you get to do it in space. These are both wonderful jobs.”

　　The 25-minute question-and-answer meeting also included the astronauts entertaining students by swallowing floating juice bubbles and playing with Ping-Pong balls.

　　31．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？

　　A. The First Female Astronaut

　　B.Space Shuttle Endeavour

　　C.An Unusual Class

　　D.Barbara Morgan's Lifelong Dream

　　32．The underlined word “backup” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”.

　　A.someone as a replacement

　　B.someone as a volunteer

　　C.someone as a teacher

　　D.someone as a supporter

　　33．What can we learn from what Barbara Morgan said to the student in Paragraph 4？

　　A.Getting to do with students is much greater.

　　B.Being a teacher is as great as being an astronaut.

　　C.An astronaut's life is more wonderful.

　　D.Being a teacher is quite different from being an astronaut.

　　34．Clay Morgan's attitude towards his wife's being an astronaut was that of ________.

　　A.surprise

　　B.pride

　　C.unconcern

　　D.worry

　　Ⅳ.補全對話

　　根據對話內容，從對話后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項多余選項。

　　Tom：Hi！ Is that the new laptop you bought last week？ __35__

　　Bob：Yes， it is. Thanks. I'm just surfing on the Internet.

　　Tom：Here？ In this café？__36__

　　Bob：This café offers a wireless Internet connection. That means I can get on the Net for free while I'm here. Of course， I have to buy a cup of coffee！

　　Tom：That's great. __37__

　　Bob：No. I can only do it when the café offers a wireless connection.

　　Tom：So， what programs do you have on your computer？

　　Bob：I've got all the usual ones for word processing and then I have a few for creating and editing photographs.

　　Tom：__38__ It's very useful for you to be able to download photos from your digital camera. Then you attach the picture files to e-mails and send them to anyone， anywhere， anytime！

　　Bob：It's wonderful， isn't it？ __39__

　　Tom：Sure.

　　A.It doesn't look very nice.

　　B.I know you are keen on photographs.

　　C.How can you do that？

　　D.Can you do it anywhere？

　　E.I think it's advanced and fashionable.

　　F.Would you like to see some photos that I took recently？

　　G.There are only 10 or 12 places that offer it in this city.
