Ⅱ.阅读理解
It is sometimes said that strange flying objects have been seen high up in the sky.People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)．These UFOs caused a lot of interest.Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe.Some have been explained in scientific ways.Others have never been explained.Here is an account of UFOs from a report.
Dennis Burdens，who wrote an article，tells us that he once saw a UFO himself.He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli，Libya，and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers.Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night.
“It wasn’t the moon，” was the reply.
They watched the light and saw that it was moving.It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate.In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it，but it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape.It was moving in a regular way.That is to say，it didn’t go suddenly faster or more slowly，and it didn’t go higher or lower.So the two men decided that there must be men in it.
After that，Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him.He was being watched in the darkness.
When it was nearer，they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top.The bottom was yellow and the top red.Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya，moving very fast.
On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it，and he found some who had seen it.They all described it in the same way.Could they all be mistaken?
16．Which of the following is WRONG about UFOs?
A．UFOs are usually strange objects flying high up in the sky.
B．All the reports about UFOs are difficult to explain in scientific ways.
C．Some people are interested in UFOs.
D．You can’t believe all the accounts about UFOs.
17．A UFO was seen one night________.
A．while they were looking at the light
B．when they were walking across a yard to the room
C．when Burdens noticed the moon appearing strange
D．while they were having dinner
18．The UFO looked like________.

B．smoke
C．light
D．a jumping object
19．The UFO was seen________.
A．by Burdens and his friend
B．brighter in the darkness

Ⅲ.任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
For centuries people dreamed of going into space.This dream began to seem possible when high-flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.
In 1903, a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel.His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation.About 30 years later，a US scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes.During World War II，German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerous explosives.After the war，scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.
These two countries were soon racing to get to space first.Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one.Both countries also had powerful bombs.People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite，which was called Sputnik.The Soviets were also first to send a person into space.Yury Gagarin orbited the earth in the Vostok I spaceship in 1961.
The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the moon.The US space program built a series of Apollo spaceship.These vehicles were powered by huge Saturn 5 rockets.In 1969，Apollo II took three men to the moon successfully.Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.
The Soviets may have lost the race to fly people to the moon，but they built the first space station in 1971.The United States also built a space station.The space stations allowed people to live and work in space.Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space.This action ended the “space race”．Today a much larger space station，built by several countries together，orbits the earth.
Another new way to go to space is by space shuttle.A space shuttle，first made in the United States in 1981，looks like an airplane.Astronauts who fly spaceships have used shuttles to help put satellites into space.

课时作业(四)
Ⅰ.1.C 考查交际用语。句意：“你将在这儿呆多长时间？”“我不知道，那得视情况而定。”That’s OK.没关系。Never mind.不要紧。It depends.视情况而定。It doesn’t matter.没关系。
2．A result in导致(原因导致结果)；result from由……引起；causing 引导结果状语，所以选择A。
3．C It is/was said that sb.…＝sb.is/was said to do… 而且本句的动作强调在老师进来时已经完成了作业，所以用不定式的完成式。
4．C 根据语境“他善于编笑话”判断该空用表示“编造”之意的making up。show up意为“出现，露面”，不合语境。
5．B get/be run over by a car意为“被车碾过”，表被动之意。
6．C 考查动词的时态。答句意思是：事实上我一直吃得很多。强调动作的持续性，用现在完成进行时，选C。
7．D 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语over the past decade判断本句应使用现在完成时态。see在此处可译为“见证”，其主语为表示地点的名词。
8．B 考查动词的时态。It/This/That is/was＋the first time＋主语＋have done/had done。
9．A get/have sth.done请人修理。
10．D 考查倒装句。为了表达生动，有时表地点、方位的副词或介词短语放在句首时引起完全倒装。故选D。
11．C 句意：约翰将所有的人都叫出厨房，其目的是为宴会准备惊喜。故选so that引导目的状语从句。
12．A When asked＝When the man was asked，前后主语一致，可改为分词短语作状语。tired作the man的状语。only to find …是结果状语，表示“(出乎意料地)发现……”。若用only finding则表示“(在意料之中地)发现……”。
13．A 考查交际用语。句意：——亲爱的，这个周末我想去南非看世界杯。——算了吧！你得帮我装修房子。Forget it! 算了吧；That’s great！好极了；Why？为什么；Go ahead去吧。
14．B 考查代词的用法。句意应为“——需要什么帮助吗？——我想为我父亲生日买一个价钱合理，而且很实用的礼物。”空格处与前句中的a present构成同位关系，所以选择B项。
15．C 考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语是the match，非谓语动词与逻辑主语是被动关系，且其动作已经完成，故用过去分词，故选C。
