communicationssatellitesandspace-basedimageservicesis

growing.”可知，人們對通信衛(wèi)星以及太空圖像服務的需求不

斷增長，所以向太空發(fā)射火箭越來越平常了。故選D項。2．D細節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“Jointeffortsbetween

governmentsandbusinessesarehelpingtolowercostsand

increaseourunderstandingoftheuniverse.”可知，政府和企

業(yè)正在共同努力降低成本并使我們對宇宙有更多的了解。故

選D。3．B細節(jié)理解題。第三段整段為對該公司的介紹，由第三段

中的“InJanuary,thecompanylauncheditsAntaresrocket.”

可知其在一月份發(fā)射了Antares火箭，B項時間和內容均與原

文契合，故選B。4．C推理判斷題。原文關鍵詞為“pity”對應選項中的

“regretful(遺憾的，惋惜的)”，由倒數第二段最后一句她所說

的話可推斷她認為項目的終止對于航天工業(yè)來說是一個遺

憾。故選C。Ⅵ.完形填空Itis5amandit'stoodarktoseethefieldsofvolcanicrockandtreesoneithersideofthehighway.Butoverthelightsofmycar,Igetatasteofthe__1__I'mreallyherefor,asafewstarspierce(穿透)theinky__2__sky.Todayourrelationshiptotheuniverseislargelyconnectedby__3__，suchastelescopesandNASAassignments.Butforthousandsofyears,humanscould__4__lookupataclearnighttobe__5__atthebrightspotsthatstretcheddirectlyoverthem.

應該是“黑色的”天空。3．D從后面的“telescopes”和“NASAassignments”可知，此處

是通過“科技”將人類和宇宙聯系起來，故選technology。4．C此句存在對比，根據語境可知，幾千年以前，人們僅僅(simply)抬個頭就能驚訝于(amazed)眼前閃亮的星星布滿他們

頭頂的星空。5．D參考上句解析。6．B從整句話的理解可知，我們使自己遠離(distanced)了星

空，在人類和星空之間建造了一層人造燈光。7．C從霓虹燈(neonsigns)和其他的電光源(otherelectric

lights)可以推斷出，此處所填應為electriclights中的一種，即

streetlights。8．A根據前面這些光越來越多地涌向夜空可以得知，后面是

遮蓋住(covering)了星星，因此，導致世界三分之一的人口現

在從他們居住的地方是看不到銀河了。9．C參考上句解析。10．B從后半句也消失了(islostaswell)可知，前面說的是對于

夜空的驚奇感消失(disappear)了。11．A看星星肯定是在黑夜里看，所以這里肯定是在日出之前12．D根據前面段落的描述可知，此處是光污染(light

pollution)。13．B作者是來尋找(searchfor)繁星的。14．A從后面作者抬頭看向夜空可以得知，作者從車子里走

(step)出來。15．C從后面“worrying”一詞可以看出作者還是很緊張地

(nervously)抬頭，擔心看不到星星。16．D從空后的“asfarasIcansee”可以得知，此處是指星星

延伸(stretching)開來。17．A根據語境可知，整個銀河系是如此的生動以至于作者的

雙眼不需要適應(adjustto)黑暗就能看到。18．C從后面的一個無底的深洞(abottomlesshole)可以得知，

作者是想感受這個星空到底有多深邃。19．D頭頂的星星像一張?zhí)鹤?，是如此厚重以至于很難測量

(measure)星空的深度。20．B根據語境可知，當作者回到車上的時候，作者經過了一

個標牌(sign)，上面寫著“永遠不要停止向上看”。Ⅶ.應用文寫作
