AValentina Tereshkova — a space pioneerValentina Tereshkova parachuted (跳伞) out of over 125 aircraft before she jumped out of the spacecraft Vostok 6. This unusual hobby led to her selection for cosmonaut (宇航员) training and her achievement of becoming the first woman in space.As a teenager Tereshkova worked in a factory and took up parachuting in her spare time.When Tereshkova was selected for the Soviet space programme in 1962, she became the first person without experience as a test pilot. Her selection was based on her parachuting skills. Tereshkova was chosen to be the pilot of the Vostok 6 mission (任务). She was given the name Chaika, Russian for ‘seagull'. The craft lifted off from Tyuratam Launch Centre on 16th June 1963. It re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on 19th June and Tereshkova parachuted to the ground, landing near Kazakhstan, in central Asia.Wilfred Thesiger —An Explorer of the ‘Empty Quater’Wilfred Thesiger was one of the greatest explorers and travel writers of the 20th century. He died in 2003. His books, which describe his journeys in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, have won many literary prizes. His best known book is Arabian Sands, which is about two journeys through Arabia. People have praised his description in the book of the ‘Empty Quarter’, a vast, waterless desert. He spent the years travelling in the ‘Empty Quarter’, often accompanied by the Bedu, the fierce tribespeople (部落人民) living in the area.Thesiger fell in love with the desert. He enjoyed the ‘sense of space, the silence, and the clearness of the sand'. It was a place where he found peace and friendship. He also learned to love the Bedu, and they learned to respect him. He became a competent amateur doctor. He chose the ‘Empty Quarter' for his journeys because it was ‘one of the very few places where I could satisfy an urge to go where others had not been'.1. What contributed to Tereshkova's being selected for the Soviet space programme?A. Her years of space experience.B. Her job as a parachute instructor.C. Her excellent parachuting skills.D. Her work experience in a factory.2. What can we learn about Wilfred Thesiger's books?A. They were imaginative.B. They were very popular.C. They received many critical reviews.D.

She was born in 1753, in West Africa and brought to New England in 1761, where John Wheatley of Boston purchased her as a gift for his wife. Although they brought her into the household as a slave, the Wheatleys took a great interest in Phillis's education. Wheatley learned to read and write English by the age of nine, and she became familiar with Latin, Greek, the Bible, and selected classics at an early age. She began writing poetry at thirteen, modeling her work on the English poets of the time, particularly John Milton, Thomas Gray, and Alexander Pope. Her poem On the Death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield earned Wheatley national acclaim (称赞).In 1771, Wheatley went on a trip to London. She was well received in London. In 1773, thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. The book includes many elegies (挽歌) as well as poems on Christian themes; it also includes poems dealing with race, such as On Being Brought from Africa to America.After Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley died, Phillis was left to support herself as a poet. It is unclear when Wheatley was freed from slavery, although scholars suggest it occurred between 1774 and 1778. In 1776, Wheatley wrote a letter and poem in support of George Washington; he replied with an invitation to visit him in Cambridge, stating that he would be “happy to see a person so favored by the Muses.” Because of the war and the poor economy, Wheatley experienced difficulty publishing her poems. She begged subscribers for a new volume (卷) that would include thirty-three new poems and thirteen letters, but was unable to raise the money. Phillis Wheatley, who had once been internationally celebrated, died alone onDecember 5, 1784. She was thirty-one years old. Many of the poems for her proposed (提议的) second volume disappeared and have never been recovered.4. What do we know about Phillis Wheatley?A. She was born into a wealthy family.B. She won public praise for her poems.C. She had great interest in slaves' education.D. She worked with many famous English poets.5. What did Phillis Wheatley do in London?A. She learned to write elegies.B. She wrote dozens of poems.C. She changed her religion.D. She was published.6. What was George Washington's attitude toward Phillis Wheatley?A. Critical.B. Worried.C. Appreciative.D. Sympathetic.7. What can we infer about Wheatley's second volume?A. It was well received.B. It failed to be published.C. It was burned in the war.D. It was given to her subscribers.CMatt Heninger was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and adopted as a baby. He had tried in the past to find information about his birth family but after many unsuccessful attempts, he decided to end his search.After Heninger's wife heard about a DNA test offered through , he took the test. Heninger, who lives in Gilbert, Arizona, said he wasn't thinking about finding his family; he just wanted to find out his ethnicity (种族渊源).AncestryDNA is a genealogy (家谱) testing service to help people discover a little bit more about their family story.“I thought that was a great thing,” Heninger said. “I know now where my biological ancestors originated from. I thought that was the end of it. I had no idea what would happen next.”When Heninger checked his Ancestry account in December 2015, he had received a message from someone whose DNA matched as “close family / first cousins”. That message was from Joyce Burgener from Spanish Fork, Utah.Burgener had taken the AncestryDNA test four years ago and in August 2015, she received a message through that she may have a possible first cousin match. She sent a message to Heninger and waited.Heninger sent an explanation that he didn't know anything about his biological family. Burgener offered to help him.As they continued the correspondence (通信), a memory came to Burgener's mind as she sought to understand what her connection to Heninger could be.“A strong impression came upon me and a vivid memory came into view,” Burgener said. “I immediately knew who Matt Heninger was —he was my brother.”When Burgener was 12 years old, her mother had another child, Heninger. Burgener was already one of five children and the family was living a very poor life, so their mother felt the situation required that she place the baby for adoption. Because the adoption details had been kept private, both Heninger and Burgener knew very little about the situation until they connected through AncestryDNA.“The best thing I looked forward to was meeting Joyce and giving her a hug. I feel my mom through her,” Heninger said.With the help of AncestryDNA, Heninger was able to meet his biological family for the first time.8. Why did Matt Heninger take the DNA test?A. To find his lost child.B. To research on genealogy.C. To know something about his family.D. To gain some knowledge about DNA.9. How would Heninger have felt when he received a message from Joyce Burgener?A. Upset.B. Embarrassed.C. Pleasantly surprised.D. Slightly disappointed.10. What can we infer about Heninger's family when he was born?A. They adopted a baby.B. They lived a hard life.C. They faced many social problems.D. They moved to Spanish Fork, Utah.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Uncovering a hidden pastB. Finding my way back homeC. Ancestry DNA connects you with your distant relativesD. Adopted man finds biological family through Ancestry DNADMost advertising in ancient times was word-of-mouth, that is, people liked something and told others about it. But even then, people advertised by putting inscriptions (题字) on walls, for example to display political slogans and to offer household goods for sale. Also, in Rome and Greece, in ancient times, it was common for people to use papyrus, a kind of paper, to advertise things they had lost or found. The tradition of wall or rock painting as a way of advertising goods is even more ancient.Painting developed in the 15th and 16th centuries, and this increased the forms of advertising. Handbills —small printed notices and advertisements —became common. Then, by the 17th century, advertisements started appearing in weekly newspapers in England. In the 19th century mail order catalogues appeared, promoting all kinds of goods.Finally, advertisements in the 1960s became more creative and more interesting. Also, they began to draw attention to the ‘unique selling points', the USPs of products. These are the qualities that make a product different from competitors' products.These days, advertisers have come up with new ways of promoting their products. For example, product placement is now common. This is advertising in TV programmes or films by having a character, preferably played by a famous actor, use a particular product. For example, Tom Cruise's character in the movie, Minority Report, had a computer with the Nokia logo (商标) on it, and his watch was clearly made by Bulgari.TV commercials are a very effective medium for advertisers, though these are very expensive. If an organisation wants to have a 30-second TV advert during the annual Superbowl game in the United States, they have to pay about $2.5 million.Perhaps the most interesting development is the use of famous personalities to endorse (代言) a product. The basketball player, Michael Jordan, endorsed Nike products and wore them while playing.Getting well-known personalities to endorse a product can be very expensive, but endorsements certainly increase a product's sales, especially if the personality has a positive image in the eyes of the public.12. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The influence of advertising.B. The development of advertising.C. Ways of advertising in ancient times.D. Types of product advertising in ancient times.13. Which of the following is TRUE about advertisements in the 1960s?A. They were complicated and entertaining.B. They contained quite a lot of information.C. They were mainly shown in TV programmes.D. They focused on the special features of products.14. In product placement, advertisers tend to use .A. cartoon charactersB. intelligent peopleC. fictional charactersD. popular actors or actresses15. What is the benefit of endorsements?A. They are not expensive.B. They are fairly interesting.C. They promote product sales.D. They pass on positive messages.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
