Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
The Cherokee Indians(切罗基族) of the early 1800's were intelligent and hardworking people.Most could read.Some lived in log cabins and others lived in large houses.A Cherokee named Sequoyah made an alphabet for his language so it could be read and written as well as spoken.
As early as 1802 the state of Georgia and the federal government had signed an agreement with the Cherokee Indians that stated that the Indian land belonged to Georgia.In 1829 President Jackson had a “removal bill” introduced to Congress.The bill said that all Cherokee Indians would have to move to a reservation in Oklahoma.Georgia took the Cherokee Indians' land and began to break it into small pieces to be given to the white settlers.All contracts between Cherokee Indians and whites were canceled.Anyone owing money to a Cherokee Indian didn't have to pay back.Some whites attacked and burned the Cherokee Indians' homes.The Cherokee Indian leaders were arrested and their homes were taken away.
In 1835 two Cherokees who were not elected leaders of the tribe signed a treaty(协议) with the federal government.The treaty arranged for the Cherokee Indians to move away from Georgia.The treaty was not good because no elected leader had signed it.More than 16,000 Cherokees signed a petition(请愿书) asking that the treaty should be canceled.President Jackson refused.In 1838 ten thousand American soldiers were sent to Georgia to remove the Cherokees from the land they had lived on as long as anyone could remember.They were taken to a makeshift prison until the trip west could begin.
The trip to Oklahoma began in cold weather.More than four thousand Cherokee Indians died on the trip.One fourth of the tribe died on the trail(小道) known as the “Trail of Tears”．The Cherokees call this trail Nunnadaultsunyi，meaning “The Place Where They Cried”．

A．They were allowed to ask all their money back.
B．They moved to a better place.
C．They lost their land.

答案 C [细节理解题。从文章第二段可知，“迁徙令”提交国会后，切罗基族的土地被白人瓜分，因此选C。]
3．We can infer from the third paragraph that the treaty ______.
A．was against the will of the Cherokee Indians
B．didn't take effect in the end
C．was turned down by President Jackson
D．was misunderstood by most Cherokee Indians
答案 A [推理判断题。从文章第三段可知，切罗基族人签署请愿书，要求取消协议，说明该协议违背了他们的意愿。]

A．many Cherokees escaped from the trip
B．the weather was very cold during the trip
C．Cherokees walked beside a big river

B
Going to outer space is a little like going camping.You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip，so your food can't be too heavy or hard to prepare.Plus，there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh.
Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn't spoil.So，many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.Some，such as dried pears，taste good right out of the packet.But to eat the turkey in this outerspace Thanksgiving dinner，an astronaut must add water and heat the packets.
On Earth，gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate.But there's no gravity in space.To keep food from floating away，astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray.The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut's lap.To prepare their food，astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper.The liquid sticks to the food better.Regular salt and pepper would float away，maybe up an astronaut's nose.Achoo!
Liquids float right out of cups and glasses，though.So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(饮料吸管) that can be closed.Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.Some，such as apples and pudding are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.
Astronauts eat tortillas(玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑)．Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut's eye.
Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth.Your body must get rid of waste in space too.
During take off and landing，astronauts can't leave their seats to go to the bathroom.They wear diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead.
The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet.The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away.
A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.Back on Earth it's flushed away－or sometimes studied by scientists.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍宇航员在太空中的日常生活。
5．Why do astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper to prepare food?
A．Liquid doesn't spoil.
B．Liquid is convenient to use in space.
C．Liquid is lightweight.
D．Astronauts are in great need of water.
答案 B [细节理解题。由第三段中的To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper.The liquid sticks to the food better.Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose.Achoo！可知，宇航员使用液体调料是因为液体不会像固体那样漂浮，使用起来更方便。]
6．What do astronauts think of space foods?
A．Most of them taste pleasant.
B．They are mostly fruits.
C．Most of them are cold.
D．They contain little meat.
答案 A [细节理解题。由第四段中的Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.Some, such as apples and pudding are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.可知，宇航员认为大部分太空食物还比较可口。]
7．Why don't astronauts eat bread?
A．Bread tastes bad.
B．Tiny pieces may float.
C．Bread weights heavy.
D．Bread is rather hard to prepare.
答案 B [细节理解题。由第五段中的Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs可知，宇航员不吃面包，是因为面包屑会到处乱飞。]
8．We can infer from the passage that astronauts ______.
A．drink from cups and glasses
B．always wear diapers in space
C．can move freely during landing
D．must pay attention to the crumbs in space
答案 D [推断判断题。由第五段中的Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye可知，面包屑会钻到机器中或人的眼睛里，所以宇航员要格外注意。]
