13、ver wondered？1.Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go westeast from New York(NY)to London but seven hours to travel eastwest from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射)stream. The jet stream is a very hig

14、h altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the westeast direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.2.What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?S

15、upposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures(建筑物)float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth. The Earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head

16、on a string(细绳), it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. Switching offgravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a grea

17、t speed until they hit the ceiling. Most things outside would fly off into space.文章大意：为什么飞机从西往东飞与从东往西飞所用的时间不同？假如没有地球引力，世界将会是什么样子？1What information can we get from the first passage?AIt is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.BPlanes go slower when they are moving with the wind.CIt take

18、s more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.DThe jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.答案：A推理判断题。本段中间部分提到出现这种现象的原因在于大气层中的喷射气流，由此可推断是喷射气流影响了飞机的飞行速度。其他选项明显与文章内容不符。2The word“shoot”underlined in the 2nd passage probably means“_”Asend for Bmove quicklyCcome

19、 out Dgrow quickly答案：B猜测词义题。根据上一句中的内容可推测假如没有了引力，楼房中的人将会突然高度“射”起，故选B。3It can be inferred that without gravity_.Abuildings and other structures would float awayBtrees and buildings would not so easily fly offCsomething around your head would not float awayDeverything outside buildings would fly off in

20、to space答案：B推理判断题。本段倒数第三句提到，如果没有了引力，没有附属于地球的东西将呈直线状飞离，而树和楼房与地球紧密相连，由此可推断它们不容易飞离地球。4Where can we most probably read this text?AIn a research paper.BIn a short story.CIn a travel magazine.DIn a students book.答案：D推理判断题。这两篇科普小短文，分别提示的是神秘的自然现象和对宇宙现象的假想，妙趣横生，非常适合学生阅读，所以选择D项。文章没有使用过于深奥的专业术语，因此A项不恰当。B(2010四
