三、阅读理解（共20小题，计30分）

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目，从各题A、B、C、D中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

A

   Can you remember how excited you were when the Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI spacecraft went into space? And how interesting it was when the Chinese astronauts told us about what they had seen on the trip! Guess what? It’s time to get excited again. Shenzhou VII is just around the corner!

Earlier this month, Chinese space scientists announced that Shenzhou VII will be sent up in 2008.

“All our work on Shenzhou VII is going well,” said Qi Faren, former (前任的) chief designer of the Shenzhou spaceship.

Will Shenzhou VII be sent up in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics? Scientists say no. They say the timing of the mission (任务) depends on when they finish designing the spacesuit.

Shenzhou VII will take three astronauts into space. It will travel around the Earth for up to five days. At least one of the astronauts will do a spacewalk.

Who will fly?

Who will the astronauts be? Yang Liwei, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, who have all made trips into space in the past few years, are all competing for a place. But it seems that it’s unfair for women astronauts.

What about Chinese space exploration in the future?

After the Shenzhou VII flight China will build a space lab and then a space station. Chinese astronauts will then be able to do experiments in space.

What's special about the Shenzhou VII spacesuit?

Chinese spacewalkers will wear 160 million yuan spacesuits. Each weighs about 100 kilograms on Earth. The Shenzhou VII spacesuit is heavier and more complicated (复杂的) than the suits the Shenzhou V and VI astronauts used.

Spacewalks need other equipment (设备) too for astronauts to be able to work outside the spacecraft.

36. When will Shenzhou VII be sent up?

   A. Before the 2008 Beijing Olympics.  B. After 2008 Beijing Olympics.

C. In time for 2008 Beijing Olympics.  D. We don’t know the exactly date.

37. Mainly because ______, Shenzhou VII hasn’t been decided when to be sent up.

A. the astronauts haven’t been chosen

B. the design of Shenzhou VII hasn’t been finished

C. the spacesuits haven’t been designed

D. the money isn’t enough

38. By now, ______ has done a space walk.

A. Yang Liwei    B. both Nie Haisheng and Fei Junlong

C. either Nie Haisheng or Fei Junlong   D. no astronauts in China

39. Which of the following is NOT true about Shenzhou VII?

   A. It will take more astronauts into space.

B. It will travel around the Earth longer than any spacecraft.

C. Astronauts will be able to walk outside the Shenzhou VII spacecraft.

D. It will take no women astronauts into space.

40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Shenzhou VII spacesuits are heavier than those for Shenzhou V and VI astronauts.

B. Chinese astronauts will be able to do experiments in the science lab that was built by Shenzhou VI astronauts.

C. All the Shenzhou VII astronauts will be spacewalkers.

D. Shenzhou VII spacecraft will cost 160 million yuan in all.

B

Good news for all Chinese middle school students in the countryside. They don't have to pay for school anymore. 51-year-old Ren Yuqi is even happier than the students. It was Ren who suggested the idea to the government about this.

   Ren is not a government official but the boss of a big company in Hunan. He talks to the government as a deputy (代表) of the National People's Congress (人民代表大会). He is in Beijing for the NPC's yearly meeting.

   “This year I have 20 suggestions for making farmers’ lives and the environment better. They all come from studying country people’s lives,” said Ren.

   Ren went to several provinces to find out about how people live in the countryside. He saw that many children dropped out of school because they are poor. So at the last NPC meeting he suggested the government spend more money in helping kids get back to school. Most of the NPC deputies agreed to it, the government adopted and make it law.

   The Chinese people elect Ren, just like they do the other 2,977 NPC members. The lower-level (较低级别的) deputies choose the upper-level ones.

   At NPC meetings deputies also take part in making and changing laws. They help decide on State leaders and public policies (政策) as well.

41. Many poor kids from the countryside can go back to school because _________.

A. Ren Yuqi has paid the money for them

B. Ren Yuqi’s idea to help poor children from the countryside has been adopted by the government

C. the government is so rich that it can afford all the kids’ tuition fees (学费)

D. the kids’ parents has worked hard and made enough money

42. What does the underlined word “adopted” mean in Chinese?

43. Who chooses the deputies?

A. Students in the countryside.    B. The government.

C. The Chinese people.          D. The farmers.

44. How many deputies are there altogether according to the passage?

A. 2976.   B. 2977.   C. 2978.   D. 2979.
