　　Mars One,a group that plans to send humans on a one-way trip to Mars,has announced its final 100 candidates.We spoke to two of the British hopefuls.

　　Alison Rigby,35,from East London

　　For Rigby,a chemistry graduate,who currently works as a secondary school lab technician,it is a lifelong passion for space that led to her decision to apply.

　　“Generally the reaction has been pretty positive from my friends and family since I told them I was down to the final 100,but it’s going to be difficult for my mum.I haven’t told her yet,”she says.Rigby explains that when she first applied in 2017,her mum told her she didn’t want her to go.

　　“I am doing this for something better,which will hopefully benefit more people than just staying at home and keeping my mum happy.As for the risk,of course I am scared.It’s something that has never been done before.But we are all going to die,and it’s important what you do before you die,”she says.

　　Clare Weedon,27,from Kent,England

　　“I applied because I want to be able to say I made a difference to the future of mankind,”explains Weedon,a 27-year-old manager.

　　Weedon doesn’t have a background in science,but she is driven by the chance.Weedon’s brother also applied but was not selected for the final 100.“My brother is pretty envious,but the rest of my friends and family are proud and excited.”The only exception is Weedon’s boyfriend,who doesn’t want her to go.

　　Weedon thinks it was her teamworking skills that saw her through this far—in her current job she works as part of a group of four,the same size as the planned Mars One crew.But she’s not pretending a trip to Mars is going to be a walk in the park.“When I think about it seriously,I am shocked,”she says,“but that doesn’t put me off.It drives me forward.”

　　.语篇填空

　　(2015·山西质量监测)

　　As a man was passing some elephants,he suddenly stopped,confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope 1.(tie)to their front leg.No chains,no cages.2. was obvious that the elephants could,at anytime,break 3. from their bonds but for some reason,they did not. 

　　He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt 4.(get)away.“Well,”5. trainer said,“when they are very young and much 6.(small),we use the same size rope to tie them and,at that age,it’s enough to hold them.As they grow up,they are conditioned to believe the rope 7. still hold them,so they never try to run free.”  

　　The man was amazed.These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but 8. they believed they couldn’t,they were stuck right where they were. 

　　Like the elephants,how many of us go through life 9.(hang)onto a belief that we cannot do something,10.(simple)because we failed at it once before?Failure is part of learning;we should never give up the struggle in life. 

　　答案与解析:

　　【语篇导读】本文通过大象被绳子拴住却不挣脱的现象告诉我们:不要故步自封,不要因为担心失败而放弃拼搏。

　　1.tied　解析:考查非谓语动词。大象仅由一根系在前腿的小绳拴住。rope和tie之间是动宾关系,故此处用过去分词表被动。

　　2.It　解析:考查代词。本句句意:显而易见,大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子。分析句子成分可知,It在句中作形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。

　　3.away　解析:考查动词短语。break away from...“从……突然挣脱,从……逃脱”。

　　4.to get　解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:他看见附近有位驯兽师,就问为什么这些动物只是站在那里而不试图逃跑呢?make attempt to do sth“试图做某事”。

　　5.the　解析:考查冠词。本句句意:“好吧,”这位驯兽师说,“当它们还年幼、(体型)尚较小时,我们使用同样大小的绳子拴住它们……”此处用定冠词the表示特指。

　　6.smaller　解析:考查形容词比较级。much修饰形容词比较级。

　　7.can　解析:考查情态动词。本句句意:当它们长大时,它们就习惯性地认为绳子依然能够拴住它们,所以它们从没尝试逃跑。此处用情态动词can表示一般的能力。

　　8.because　解析:考查原因状语从句。本句句意:这些动物在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子,但是因为它们认为不能,所以它们就待在原处。

　　9.hanging　解析:考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词-ing形式作伴随状语。

　　10.simply　解析:考查副词。本句句意:……仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过吗?此处应用副词作状语。
