29、六、第二篇(总题数:1,分数:15.00)Flying the Hypert SkiesA little airplane has given new meaning to the term “going hyper.“The Hyper-X recently broke the record for air-breathing jet planes when it traveled at a hypersonic speed of seven times the speed of sound. Thats about 5,000 miles per hour. At this speed,
30、youd get around the world - flying along the equator - in less than 5 hours.The Hyper-X is an unmanned, experimental aircraft just 12 feet long. It achieves hypersonic speed using a special sort of engine known as a scramjet. It may sound like something from a comic book, but engineers have been exp
31、erimenting with scramjets since the 1960s.For an engine to burn fuel and produce energy, it needs oxygen. A jet engine, like those on passenger airplanes, gets oxygen from the air. A rocket engine typically goes faster but has to carry its own supply of oxygen. A scramjet engine goes as fast as a ro
32、cket, but it doesnt have to carry its own oxygen supply. A scramjets special design allows it to obtain oxygen from the air that flows through the engine. And it does so without letting the fast-moving air put out the combustion flames. However, a scramjet engine works properly only at speeds greate
33、r than five times the speed of sound. A booster rocket carried the Hyper-X to an altitude of about 100,000 feet for its test flight. The aircrafts record-beating flight lasted just 11 seconds. Although the little planes self-powered flight lasted only 11 seconds, that brief journey on March 27 makes
34、 a major milestone on the way to a new breed of very fast airplanes, comments Werner J. A. Dahm of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In the future, engineers predict, airplanes equipped with scramjet engines could transport cargo quickly and cheaply to the brink of space. Such hypersonic jets
35、 could potentially carry passengers anywhere in the world in just a few hours.Out of the three experimental Hyper-X aircrafts built for NASA, only one is now left. The agency has plans for another 11-second hypersonic flight, this time at 10 times the speed of the sound.(分数:15.00)(1).The Hyper-X bro

37、.A scramjet engine that doesnt carry its own oxygen supply.C.A rocket engine that carries its own supply of oxygen.D.A jet engine that uses no oxygen.(3).What is NOT true about the scramjet engine?(分数:3.00)A.It goes slower than a rocket.B.It extracts oxygen from the air that flows through the engine
38、.C.It works only at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound.D.It doesnt carry its own oxygen supply.(4).What did Werner J.(分数:3.00)A.Dahm of the University of Michigan say about the Hyper-X test flight?A. It indicated the birth of a very fast airplane.B.It was self-powered, so it lasted on
39、ly 11 seconds.C.It can transport cargo quickly and cheaply to the brink of space.D.It is a major milestone in the journey of making a new type of very fast airplanes.(5).What has NASA planned to do?(分数:3.00)A.To make another 11-second hypersonic flight at 10 times the speed of the sound.B.To make th
40、ree more Hyper-X experiments.C.To retest the aircraft that is left.D.To make the aircraft fly higher and longer.七、第三篇(总题数:1,分数:15.00)Home HeatingCentral heating became popular only after the Civil War. Typically, coal-burning furnaces (火炉) fueled the early systems. Natural gas had developed into the
41、 leading fuel by 1960. Its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses. Because it comes primarily from U.S. and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable(脆弱的)than oil is to War. Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas, such as New England.Electric heating dominates most are
42、as with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest. It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning. Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in
43、rural areas not served by utility pipelines. Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.Home heating, which accounts for less than 7 percent of all energy consumed in the U.S., has had a commendable (值得赞扬的) efficiency record: from 1978 to 1997, the amount of fuel consumed for this
44、 purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in the number of housing units and an increase in house size. The U.S. Department of Energy, however, forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades. That rise is small considering an expected 21
45、 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades. Solar (太阳的) heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas; in 2000 only 47,000 ho

48、n fields.B.Bottled gas is more expensive than utility gas.C.Equipment for home heating has been considerably improved.D.Solar heating dominated America in 2000.八、第 5部分:补全短文(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Development in Newspaper OrganizationOne of the most important developments in newspaper organization during the first part of the twentieth century (46) , which are known as wire services.
