参考解析

解析:
对话接近尾处时女士问道“So what about getting out of the earth’s orbit…”,男士的回中指出有这方面的计划,并提到“下一步是使大量的人参与到moon tours之中”。由此可见moon tours将是首批在地球轨道之外旅行的游客。
【录音原文】
W: Welcome to the Holiday Show. Today with me in the studio I have Richard Bennet, a travel consultant who’s going to tell us about the holiday for those who have been everywhere. So Richard, what’s the next frontier for the fearless traveller?
M: We’re already working on plans that will get tourists into space within the next ten years.
W: So do you think that in a few years’ time we’ll be having hotels on the moon?
M: Well, possibly, but the first step will probably be suborbital trips. That’s staying within the earth’s orbit.
W: Then how will the tourists travel?
M: It’s about a hundred times as high as a jet plane usually goes and to get that high you’d need rocket planes, or capsules boosted by rockets.
W: That must be exciting. Do tourists need any kind of training on earth?
M: Yes, because there’ll be tremendous G-forces during one minute or so, and then a few minutes’ experience of weightlessness at zero gravity before the rocket returns to earth. They need a couple of days’ training to get used to them through.
W: So can you tell us who’s going to be interested in trips like this?
M: Well, we hope the general public will be interested in hearing about it, but it’s hardly for those wanting rest and recreation and in fact the sort of person who will probably want to do this is quite easy to target. They’re basically risk-takers.
W: So you don’t expect all that many people to go on these trips in the beginning?
M: No, we don’t think many people are going to pay out such large sums of money for just a few minutes. So the next stage is likely to be keeping them up there in the orbit for three or four hours.
W: What can they do during this period?
M: They’ll have the chance to see our planet from space, and also to see the darkness of space, and really spectacular sunsets and sunrises one after another.
W: So what about getting out of the earth’s orbit and doing some real space tourism-holidays on Mars, for example?
M: Well, yes, there are plans, and the next step is involving a really quite sizeable number of people in moon tours.
W: So are we talking about hotels on the moon here?
M: As on a cruise, your hotel is your means of transport. So it would involve taking a shuttle up to a spaceship. And passengers could even suit up and go outside space walking if they wanted.
W: That will be marvellous!
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
Q1. What is this conversation about?
Q2. What is being planned for tourism in the beginning phase of the next ten years?
Q3. What is said about the training?
Q4. Who will be the potential tourists?
Q5. What is said about moon tours?

The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.In ancient Egypt,as everywhere,pitching stones was a favorite children's game.But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child.Looking for something less dangerous to throw,the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first,balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines.Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike,they found time for peaceful games.Before long they had developed a number of ball games,each with its own set of rules.Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun.Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.The ball was probably invented because__.A.throwing stones often caused injuriesB.throwing stones was not funC.games with stones did not have rulesD.rocks were too heavy to throw

共用题干Explore JordanWadi Rum is the name given to a valley cut into the sandstone and hard rock in southwest Jordan.______(46)The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic word meaning"high" or"elevated".The area around Wadi Rum is now also one of Jordan's most important tourist des-tinations, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers(越野者), but also for camel safaris(旅行)or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. In contrast,there are almost no local or Arab tourists through nearby disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.Popular activities in the desert environment include camping under the stars,riding Arab horses,and rock-climbing amongst the massive rock formations.

单选题Advertisement: The most flavorful olives in the world are kalamata olives. The more kalamata olives used to make a bottle of olive oil, the more flavorful the oil, and no company buys more kalamata olives than Zorba’s Olive Oil. Therefore, when you buy Zorba’s Olive Oil, you’re buying the most flavorful olive oil available today.  The reasoning presented in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that:ANot all of Zorba’s competitors use kalamata olives in their oil.BZorba’s sells more olive oil than any other company.CThe most flavorful olive oil is not necessarily the best olive oil.DBecause of bulk discounts, Zorba’s pays less per kilogram of kalamata olives than does its competitors.EThe number of kalamata olives harvested every year is far less than the number of Spanish olives harvested every year.
