Ⅰ.完形填空 阅读下列短文,掌握其大意,然后从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 Happiness is for everyone, and you don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses 1 large gardens and swimming pools or those 2 have nice ears and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel 3 and those who have ears may want to walk on the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are 4 at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your 5 ; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do 6 , people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not 7 as money; it is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't 8 with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. 9 the saying goes: Life is like a revolving (转动的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and 10 person.

Ⅴ.阅读填空 (10分) The first walk into outer space was taken by a Soviet astronaut. Astronaut Zhai Zhigang became the first Chinese to walk in space on September 27, 2008. It showed that it was quite safe for a man to be outside the spaceship for a certain period of time. But to walk in space, astronauts have to meet with many kinds of difficulties and dangers. The spaceship goes round the earth at an altitude (海拔高度) of about 200 kilometers above its surface. At such altitude there is no atmosphere which protects the life on the earth. The conditions of outer space are very harmful to man. The boiling point of liquids (液体) goes down with pressure. But pressure outside the spaceship is nearly zero. In such conditions the decompression (减压) of the spacesuit may cause the boiling of the blood and quick death. There is radiation from space and it is harmful. Breathing problems in space can be solved with the help of the spacesuit. Another problem is heat. Man gives off heat in the course (过程) of his activity, and the harder the labor (劳动) is, the greater the amount (总量) of heat is. In space unless special measures are taken, the heat inside the spacesuit would make the conditions difficult.
