Ⅲ.阅读理解
Barbara Morgan's lifelong dream has always been to travel into space. On August 8，
2007，
her wish came true. The former teacher was one of seven crewmembers on the Space Shuttle Endeavour，
which flew into space from NASA's Kennedy Space Station in Florida.
Morgan taught at a primary school in Boise from 1975 to 1998 — with some time off for astronaut training. In 1985，
she was chosen as a backup for Christa McAuliffe，
who was to be the first teacher in space. On January 28，
1986，
the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after takeoff killing McAuliffe and the other six crewmembers.
After the Challenger accident，
Morgan continued to teach. In 1998，
she was asked to become an astronaut. Morgan's mission aboard Endeavour includes overseeing the move of 5，
000 pounds of goods from the shuttle to the International Space Station and operating the shuttle's robotic arm.
Morgan gave students an unusual class after she was in space. Morgan's outofthisworld class was broadcast live on NASA television. Her husband Clay Morgan said he couldn't help but smile as he watched her talk to students. “I'm just so proud of her and how she's going to do all this and do the work of an astronaut as well as a teacher，
” he said. “She just kept telling me how unbelievable it was to be in space and I think it's much better than she expected.” One student asked Morgan how being a teacher compared to being an astronaut. “We explore，
we discover and we share，
” she said. “The great thing about being a teacher is you get to do that with students，
and the great thing about being an astronaut is you get to do it in space. These are both wonderful jobs.”
The 25minute questionandanswer meeting also included the astronauts entertaining students by swallowing floating juice bubbles and playing with PingPong balls.
31．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
A. The First Female Astronaut
B.Space Shuttle Endeavour
C.An Unusual Class
D.Barbara Morgan's Lifelong Dream
32．The underlined word “backup” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”.
A.someone as a replacement
B.someone as a volunteer
C.someone as a teacher
D.someone as a supporter
33．What can we learn from what Barbara Morgan said to the student in Paragraph 4？
A.Getting to do with students is much greater.
B.Being a teacher is as great as being an astronaut.
C.An astronaut's life is more wonderful.
D.Being a teacher is quite different from being an astronaut.
34．Clay Morgan's attitude towards his wife's being an astronaut was that of ________.
A.surprise
B.pride
C.unconcern
D.worry
Ⅳ.补全对话
根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。
Tom：Hi！ Is that the new laptop you bought last week？ __35__
Bob：Yes， it is. Thanks. I'm just surfing on the Internet.
Tom：Here？ In this café？__36__
Bob：This café offers a wireless Internet connection. That means I can get on the Net for free while I'm here. Of course， I have to buy a cup of coffee！
Tom：That's great. __37__
Bob：No. I can only do it when the café offers a wireless connection.
Tom：So， what programs do you have on your computer？
Bob：I've got all the usual ones for word processing and then I have a few for creating and editing photographs.
Tom：__38__ It's very useful for you to be able to download photos from your digital camera. Then you attach the picture files to emails and send them to anyone， anywhere， anytime！
