A generation after Americans lost the habit of knowing who their space heroes really are, the Columbia astronauts were remembered Tuesday as awe-struck (肃然起敬的)youngsters who longed to “reach the stars”, and as fun-loving but dedicated adults who never lost their sense of adventure. President Bush and first lady Laura Bush attended a 45-minute memorial ceremony at the Johnson Space Center.

What is the main topic of the passage?

A Tragedy of seven Columbia astronauts.

B Address of the president Bush.

C Description of the memorial ceremony.

D Spirit of those space heroes.

题目解答

答案

解析

这段文字主要描述了哥伦比亚号航天飞机的宇航员们在一次事故后被人们纪念的情景。文章提到,这些宇航员在年轻时对太空充满向往,长大后依然保持着冒险的精神。总统布什和他的夫人劳拉·布什出席了在约翰逊航天中心举行的45分钟纪念仪式。

选项分析

  • A. Tragedy of seven Columbia astronauts.

    • 这个选项提到了哥伦比亚号航天飞机的七名宇航员的悲剧。虽然文章中确实提到了这些宇航员,但主要 focus 并不在悲剧本身,而是在他们的精神和纪念仪式上。
  • B. Address of the president Bush.

    • 这个选项提到布什总统的讲话。文章中确实提到布什总统出席了纪念仪式,但并没有详细描述他的讲话内容,因此这个选项不够准确。
  • C. Description of the memorial ceremony.

    • 这个选项提到纪念仪式的描述。文章确实描述了纪念仪式,但主要 focus 还是在宇航员的精神和他们的生平,而不仅仅是仪式本身。
  • D. Spirit of those space heroes.

    • 这个选项提到这些太空英雄的精神。文章中多次提到这些宇航员的冒险精神、对太空的向往以及他们始终保持的冒险精神,这与文章的主旨最为契合。

答案

D. Spirit of those space heroes.

详细解析

文章的开头提到,这些宇航员在年轻时对太空充满向往,长大后依然保持着冒险的精神。这表明文章的主旨在于强调这些宇航员的精神和品质,而不仅仅是描述他们的悲剧或纪念仪式。因此,选项 D 最为准确地反映了文章的主旨。

解析

考查要点:本题主要考查学生对文章主旨的把握能力,需要从整体内容中提炼出核心主题。
解题思路:文章通过描述哥伦比亚号宇航员的纪念活动,强调他们对太空的向往和冒险精神,而非单纯叙述事件本身或纪念仪式。需重点关注文中反复出现的关键词(如“awe-struck youngsters”“dedicated adults”“sense of adventure”),并结合选项判断主旨。

选项分析:

  • A. Tragedy of seven Columbia astronauts
    文章确实提到宇航员的悲剧,但内容更聚焦于他们的精神品质,而非悲剧本身。因此此选项不够准确。
  • B. Address of the president Bush
    文章仅提到总统出席仪式,未涉及其演讲内容,故排除。
  • C. Description of the memorial ceremony
    虽然描述了纪念仪式,但文章重点在于通过仪式展现宇航员的精神内涵,而非仪式本身。
  • D. Spirit of those space heroes
    文章开篇即强调宇航员“longed to reach the stars”和“never lost their sense of adventure”,结尾通过总统出席仪式进一步升华其精神,因此此选项最能概括主旨。

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
