• 2．Halfway through the women's slalom （障碍滑雪赛） event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi，Russia，18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women's slalom skiers in the world.On her final run，she burst from the start house at top speed，zigzagging （曲折行进） around the poles.Suddenly，her left ski slid out，causing her to temporarily lose control.It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain，out of her reach.But in the blink of an eye，Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run.She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
     Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela's life.At two and a half years old，Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis.From ages 8 to 11，she worked hard，repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques.When Mikaela was 11，she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy，a Vermont boarding school for skiers.According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer，"What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best.Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now." At age 14，Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds.And she won!By the time she was 17，she had already won her first World Cup race.For Mikaela，working hard is a full-time job.In the summer，when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym，her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting，core body work，and biking to improve her strength and agility.
     "If you're passionate about your goals，whatever they are，" she says，"there's no limit to what you can achieve.Give it your all!"

• 3．Ever since the success of Apollo 11，when lunar travel was finally publicly acknowledged to be safe for humans，people have been waiting for the day when space would be opened up on a large scale to those who are not astronauts.It has finally become a reality，at least for people who have the means.The space flights are not cheap - each flight into outer space costs about U.S.﹩ 20 million.
     But space travel agencies now have a clever plan to offer suborbital （亚轨道的） flights，which cost about U.S.﹩100 000.A lunar mission is also made available by space tourism agency，Space Adventures，where tourists，accompanied by one professional astronaut，would be able to reach within 100km of the Moon's surface，enabling them to see the bright far-side of the moon and witness Earth rising above the surface of the moon.
     Further extending the idea of space tourism，plans are underway to open a resort in space.
     In Galactic Suite Space Resort，a space resort started by a Spanish entrepreneur，guests are promised a remarkable experience with an orbital stay onboard with first-class resort facilities；they can enjoy a weightless spa as they watch 15 sunsets in one day；and tourists would be able to complete a single orbit in 80 minutes -- all this while staying in a bio-inspired space，similar to a tropical paradise island!
     Space tourism is，however，not environmentally-friendly.There are suggestions that black carbon emitted by the spacecraft could raise temperatures at the poles，contributing to global warming.An increase in space travel would mean that Man would not only leave his footprint in space but also his waste--space tourism can lead to pollution of the environment of the outer space.
     Without a doubt，space tourism opens up new exciting possibilities.With time，the price would become more reasonable.Increasing commercialisation of space would also mean that a structure would be put in place for the disposal of rubbish.However，with no immediate solutions，space tourism would probably prove to be yet another controversial （有争议的） adventure of mankind.
  
  （1）What does the word "means" in Paragraph I mean？

  
  A．Methods.
  B．Courage.
  C．Money.
  D．Dreams.
  （2）What do we know about the Galactic Suite Space Resort？

  
  A．It enables guests to see the bright far-side of the moon.
  B．It offers high quality service to guests.
  C．It promises guests can go around the world in one day.
  D．It is built on a tropical paradise island.
  （3）What is the future of space tourism according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．Bright.
  B．Uncertain.
  C．Meaningless.
  D．Disastrous.
  （4）What is the purpose of this text？

  
  A．To talk about the topic of space travel.
  B．To warn people of the danger of space travel.
  C．To encourage people to travel in space.
  D．To call on people to protect outer space.

• 9．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为150左右。
      On the way back from work every evening，there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway.He looked to be in his late 40's but was probably a lot younger.His eyes were what struck me the most about him，they were brown and they had a sparkle.People say they can tell a lot from a person's eyes.It was certainly true in his case.He always waved at every car，he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.
      Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change and quickly roll down my window and give him the coins.Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day.His answer would always be the same，"I'm blessed!".I knew what his answer was going to be every time，yet I would still ask.It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive，and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids，with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.
      Then one day I was called into my boss's office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.For the rest of that day，a feeling of worry engulfed（淹没）me.Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset.I didn't remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.But there he was as always，as I turned the ramp（斜坡）.He set his eyes on me，while still smiling and waving at others.
  注意：
  1．续写的词数应为150左右；
  2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
  I'd hoped to catch the green light，but I missed it.__________
