Question

It is interesting how NASA(美國(guó)航空航天管理局)chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men  26  the age of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them, Many were  27  air pilots.  28 were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose; told him the plans and the  29  they might get in. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut. “How could any man  30 such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous  31 most exciting”

The health and physical condition of  32 was, of course, very necessary.  33  those in very good health and physical condition were chosen.

While being trained to be astronauts. They went through many  34 . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary  35  astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the  36 of the moon. They were all  37 to fly in helicopters （直升飛機(jī)）。These helicopters landed  38 down to give them some experience of the way the spaceship would  39 land on the moon , They were also taught the  40  facts about the conditions in space. They learnt all the technical details of the spaceships and rockets. They visited the scientists and engineers who  41 them. They visited the factories where they were  42. They learnt how every 43 of a space-ship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control  44 .

In a word, to be chosen as an astronaut. One must be in good health,  45  in science and good at piloting.

【解析】

試題分析：

1.句意“在26歲和35歲之間進(jìn)行篩選”，故between...and容易誤選為at。At the age of...在某人多少歲時(shí)。

2.句意為：他們是有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的，老練的。在這里old不是歲數(shù)的意思比experienced 更貼切。

3.上文中的many相對(duì)應(yīng)。句意為：其他人是擁有的兩個(gè)或三個(gè)學(xué)位的科學(xué)家。

4.因?yàn)槭呛教炜赡軙?huì)深陷于危險(xiǎn)之中，同用in danger.

5.根據(jù)下文人們都很珍惜這次被選中的機(jī)會(huì)，在興奮和危險(xiǎn)之間，他們都敢于冒險(xiǎn)，不會(huì)拒絕這份冒險(xiǎn)的工作。注意此處用了一個(gè)疑問(wèn)句。accept 主觀接受receive 客觀接受offer主動(dòng)提供

6.But, 但是，他們更看重后者。根據(jù)上文“任何人都不會(huì)拒絕這份令人激動(dòng)的工作”可知。

7.被選中的飛行員的身體健康狀況非常重要。根據(jù)上下文多次提及Pilot可知。

8.只有身體條件符合的才能被選中。最后一段One must be in good health可知。

9.根據(jù)下文They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks.學(xué)習(xí)天體，地理等可知，必須學(xué)習(xí)很多相關(guān)的課程。Ways 方面，欠具體。

10.前后句構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系，學(xué)習(xí)巖石科學(xué)知識(shí)很必要，因?yàn)橛詈絾T在月球上必須尋找?guī)r石。for表補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明的原因; since表顯而易見(jiàn)的原因，“既然”。

11.根據(jù)巖石構(gòu)成以辨別月球的年代。Background背景

12.飛行員們也在特殊直升機(jī)上進(jìn)行模擬訓(xùn)練。Train 訓(xùn)練 show展示

13.直升機(jī)的垂直下降為月球上的真實(shí)著陸提供了經(jīng)驗(yàn)。 straight 徑直的，徑直地，形容詞副詞directly 直接地，副詞

14.Really，真實(shí)情況。possibly 可能主語(yǔ)為物  likely很可能主語(yǔ)可以是人或物 actually 實(shí)際上

15.他們也會(huì)被教授一些太空中的已經(jīng)知道的事實(shí)。Well-known 著名的 unknown 不為人所知的

16.他們拜訪設(shè)計(jì)太空飛船和火箭的科學(xué)家。Them指的是the technical details of the spaceships and rockets，當(dāng)然是科學(xué)家設(shè)計(jì)的。draw 畫(huà)的   produce產(chǎn)生 make制作

17.他們也拜訪生產(chǎn)飛船和火箭的工廠。

18.他可以了解太空船和其設(shè)備的每個(gè)部件是如何運(yùn)行的。

19.他們也要學(xué)習(xí)基本操作系統(tǒng)的每個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。

20.一個(gè)宇航員必須身體健康，精通航天科學(xué)，并且擅長(zhǎng)飛行技術(shù)。well-done干得好的   well-fed 營(yíng)養(yǎng)充足的      well- kept 保存完好的   well-informed熟悉的，博學(xué)多

考點(diǎn)：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，講述了美國(guó)航天員的篩選過(guò)程和具體細(xì)節(jié)。難度中等。本文在命題上注重上下文的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，重點(diǎn)考察了上下文邏輯，詞義辨析，包括名詞（6個(gè)），形容詞（4個(gè)）和連詞（3個(gè)），介詞，代詞，副詞（2個(gè)），動(dòng)詞（4個(gè)）在語(yǔ)境中的具體區(qū)別。在解題過(guò)程中要抓住文章的結(jié)尾這一主題句，就容易理順?biāo)悸�，圍繞三個(gè)方面in good health, well-informed in science and good at piloting展開(kāi)。這就告訴我們?cè)谧鐾晷螘r(shí)，一定不要急于求成，要遵循：一看標(biāo)題，二看句首，三看句尾的好習(xí)慣，真正把握文章主旨后，再順藤摸瓜就容易做對(duì)了。
