[考点] 考查as引导的非限制性定语从句。 [解析] 句意为“众所周知，中国在太空领域已经处于领先地位激励了数百万中国人”。“As is known to all, ...”是由as引导的非限制性定语从句，as作关系代词，指代后面的整个主句，后面不加that。如果用it作形式主语，后面的主语从句则必须由that引导，即变成“It is known to all that...”。故选D。

阅读文章，了解其大意，然后选择正确选项填空。 Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They are left in the 81 of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their 82 children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any 83 visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth—an 84 story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. 85 , because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long term care. More psychologists have found that all earegivers share a common characteristic: All caregivers believe that they are the best 86 for the job. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took 87 the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had obligation to help their relative. Some stated that helping others make them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and 88 . Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a 89 satisfying experience for everyone who might be 90 .

[考点] 考查惯用搭配。 [解析] 本句意为他们的业余生活要由陌生人来照料。in the hands of是惯用搭配，意为“由……控制或照料”。
[考点] 考查副词辨析。 [解析] 分析句子结构，主语是caring for the elderly and being taken care of两件事，因此选择mutually“互相地”。similarly“同样地，相似的”；differently“不同地”；certainly“当然地”，均不符合句意。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called "take a mortgage". The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as 850,000. In other words, thev will have a 850,000 mortgage. How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.
91. What does a house mean in the United States? ______
A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize.
B.It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy them.
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy.
D.It doesn't belong to people if they cannot borrow money from the bank.
A B C D
C
[解析] 细节题。从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知，房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性，与文章中的抵押贷款购房相悖。D项过于绝对化，并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。
92. If American people borrow money from the bank for 25 years, this means that the person who borrows ______.
A.has twenty-five years to pay back the money
B.has more than twenty-five years to pay back the money

D.has about twenty-five years to pay back the money
A B C D
A
[解析] 细节题。从文章第一段“The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgage for twenty-five years”得出银行的借期是25年，是一个准确的数字，而不是多于、少于或大约25年。故选A项。
93. The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do something about them. Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers in a good state? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustration into the open People who have a row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill in more fun, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath" is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.

Tourism is an essential part of Britain's income. It employed about 1.4 million people and contributed about 3.5 percent to the GDP in the early 2000s. Visitors to Britain come from all over the world, with the largest number from the United States, followed by France, Germany, Ireland and Netherlands. They were attracted by Britain's heritage and arts, historic buildings, monuments, museums and galleries. With over 27 million tourists a year, the United Kingdom is ranked as the sixth major tourist destination in the world. The British Tourist Authority, which is supported by the government, promotes tourism in Britain and maintains hundreds of Tourist Information Centers to assist visitors. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own government-supported tourist boards as well. London, the most popular tourist destination, is crowded with tourists throughout the year. Among the sites regularly visited by millions are the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and West Minister Abbey (修道院，大教堂). At night visitors enjoy the hundreds of theatres and pubs in London. Liverpool is a city in the metropolitan country of Merseyside (默西塞德郡) in northwest England—the second largest export of Britain, and it still possesses some manufacturing bases. Liverpool is world famous as the city where the Beatles came from. In Scotland, Edinburgh Castle looms over the capital. Great cathedrals from the Middle Ages still dominate the skylines of many English cities. In Wales, the remains of Tintern Abbey and the small but beautiful Saint David's Cathedral (大教堂) are outstanding. There are a lot of stately homes in Britain. Among the more famous is Blenheim Palace, the home of the Churchill family. Hampton Court Palace, just outside of London, was one of the homes of Henry VIII. The Palace of the Holly-rood House in Scotland was once the home of Mary, Queen of Scots. Among other worthwhile places to visit are Oxford and Cambridge, both of which are university towns with many ancient buildings, and the Tudor home in which William Shakespeare was born.
