Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced(有经验的) astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust(信任),” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused(拒绝) to go.”
Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs(维修). When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said, “Who’s there?” “It’s me! Who else could it be?” shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again!

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了山姆和乔在别人认为任务非常危险的时候，争取了这个飞行的任务，在飞行中乔到舱外维修，回来时敲门山姆还问他你是谁。
小题1:推理判断题。根据短文第一段There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced(有经验的) astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive描述，有经验的宇航员知道这次的飞行生还的机会非常小，所以大部分人不想去，故选C.
小题2:细节理解题。根据第一段We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.”和“But all the other astronauts have refused(拒绝) to go.”描述，山姆和乔向老板请求任务，其他的人都拒绝飞行，故选D
小题3:推理判断题。根据第二段描述可知，乔敲门山姆还问你是谁，可知作者想表现宇航员的有趣的一面，故选B
小题4:是非判断题。根据第一段“They’re the last people I’d trust(信任),” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused(拒绝) to go.”可知他们在老板的眼中不一定是最好的，因为其他人都拒绝了这个任务。 |

Sometimes I really doubt (怀疑) whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother"s education and mine. They don"t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, “I love you” is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.
One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, may I ask you a question?” I said. “What?” she replied, still doing her work. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn"t answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.
I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn"t know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“ Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it"s really there."
I couldn"t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn"t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him. "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day. "Susan, don"t worry about me." he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to get food ready for the animals.
Each kind of animal eats special food. For example, the lions must eat meat; the giraffes will eat grass and leaves; and the parrots must have fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won’t let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately(分离的). Every morning the zoo keepers must clean each cage. This can be dangerous, especially(尤其) with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the keepers always lock the animals in the sleeping compartments(隔间) while they are washing the cages. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes the zoo workers have to inject(注射) the sick animals, even the lions.
All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public(公众的) holidays. Each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.
