He was the first tourist in space. " I spent sixty years on Earth and eight days in space and from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives." Tito explained. He loved his time in space." Being in space and looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have."       This kind of experience isn't cheap. It cost 320 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. "For me it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when I didn’t have any money." He told reporters.       On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world's second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African businessman. At the age of twenty-eight, he also paid $20 million for the eight-day trip.       Both Tito and Shuttleworth bought their trip from a company called Space Adventures. The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list for flights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn't exist yet.       Many of the customers are people who like adventures. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolagma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it's so expensive, only rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.       That day may soon be here. InterOrbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tourists will depart from an island in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia and California, seven days in space, and a vacation in Tonga, for $2 million.       However, space flight in still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA's deputy assistant administrator for space flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this, it may take time before space tourists really take off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down?   16. Dennis Tito was the first tourist in space.  A right              B Wrong              C Not mentioned 17.

Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens - not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures - including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries. Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005, according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growth means that cities need to adapt. Newcomers don’t always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring(辅导) programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs. With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating(减少), the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties(特赦) for illegals, and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back, the government has announced. About 23,000 migrants(移民) landed on the islands in 2006, and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help. France’s new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas, valid for three years. But some concern that it’ll cause brain drain in developing countries.   31.Many immigrants in the US took to the streets in early 2006, demanding that A. John McCain be removed. B. they be sent back home. C. they be treated as citizens. D. their culture be protected. 32.The expression "rounding up" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by A. encircling. B. separating. C. arresting. D. frightening. 33.Canada is not very strict with immigration application because A. it is a large country. B. it is suffering from labor shortage. C. its population is decreasing. D. it is a multicultural country.  34.To solve the immigration problem, the Spanish Government decided  A. to take tough measures against illegal immigration. B. to let immigrants freely enter the country. C. to integrate immigrants into the Spanish culture. D. to help immigrants find proper jobs. 35.After France's new immigration and integration law takes effect, it will  A. encourage overseas students to return home.  B. bring damage to the unity of the country. C. arouse anger among French workers. D. make if hard for developing countries to keep talents.   第二篇 The Iceman On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountain between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height(10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than just usual and so the body had come to the surface.          It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架) was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark(树皮) and a holder for arrows.          Who was the man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World WarⅠ, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman who believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousand years old.          With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B.C., he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of battle. It may have been part of a large war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself.          By studying his clothes and tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in. we may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.   36. The body of the iceman was found in the mountains mainly because A. Two Germans were climbing mountains. B. He was just on a mountain pass. C. He melted ice made him visible. D. He was lying on the ice. 37. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?  A. The iceman could have died from the wound in the head. B. The iceman was struck dead from behind. C. The iceman was killed while working. D. The iceman lived a poor life. 38. All the following are assumptions once made about iceman EXCEPT A. He was a soldier in World War I. B. He came from Italy C. He was a Swiss woman’s long-lost father. D. He was born about a thousand years ago. 39. The scientists made the deduction that the iceman A. was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead. B. has a tiny hole in his skin causing his death. C. was probably in some kind of a battle. D. had got a wound on the back of his head. 40. The word “bandits” in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by A. robbers B. shooters C. soldiers D. hunters 第三篇 Britain's Solo Sailor       Ellen MacArthur stand sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt.

It took her many hours to make the repairs; Ellen says: “I was exhausted when I came down. It’s hard to describe hoe it feels to be up there. It’s like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off.”       But in her diary, Ellen also described moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的): “A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this I just fell lucky to be here”.   41.

Semler Junior worked like a madman, from 7:30 am, until midnight every day. One afternoon, while touring a factory in New York, he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said," There's nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you'll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his employees worked too.       He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries.____________(46)."Everyone at Semco, even top managers, meets guests in reception, does the photocopying, sends faxes, types letters and dials the phone."       He completely reorganized the office: instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can’t shut themselves away from everyone else.____________(47).As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.       Semler says, “We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn't even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea. Rubin springs into action. _____________(48). That's when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time.       Semco has flexible working hours: the employees decide when they need to arrive at work. The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year._____________(49).       It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years, Semco's revenues have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000. Why?       Semler says it's because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. _____________(50). In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do.   A  This saved money and brought more equality to the company. B  He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them. C  And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want. D  Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work. E  If someone isn't doing his job well, the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. F  Also, Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects, and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year. 第6部分：完形填空 (第52~65题，每题1分，共15分） 下面的短文有15处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白
