For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.‎ Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.‎ We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35, 880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11, 000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed 7‎ ‎ that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.‎ Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10～12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.‎ ‎【解题导语】　卫星不仅在科学探索方面对人类有帮助，而且在我们的生活中也起着非常重要的作用。‎ ‎1．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?‎ A．Sending information for weather forecast.‎ B．Taking photographs of the Earth.‎ C．Sending TV pictures.‎ D．Providing food for airplane pilots.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据前三段的内容可知，D项不是卫星做的事情。‎ ‎2．How fast does the earth rotate?‎ A．35, 880 kilometers per hour.‎ B．335, 880 kilometers per hour.‎ C．11, 000 kilometers per hour.‎ D．110, 000 kilometers per hour.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段的第四句话可知。‎ ‎3．What is the function of little rockets on a satellite?‎ A．To send a satellite.‎ B．To make a satellite in place.‎ C．To send more pictures.‎ D．To connect our international phone calls.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position”可知卫星内安装的小火箭把卫星拉回到正确的位置，故选B。‎ ‎4．Which of the following is TRUE of satellites?‎ A．A satellite can be used to send television pictures internationally.‎ 7‎ B．Every time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.‎ C．A broken satellite is never left in space.‎ D．They often crash into each other.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段的“We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.”可知A项正确。‎ B Everyone who participates in holiday activities has traditions, which involve a holiday meal, helping the needy, the practicing of faith, the lighting of candles, and much more. As is well known, holiday traditions play an important role in the lives of children. Here are some of the primary benefits of holiday traditions for children.‎ Firstly, holiday traditions create stability. Although children often seek out novelties—such as the newest video game or movie—they also desire stability in their lives. This is especially the case for teens, who are experiencing rapid and often confusing changes in their social, emotional and physical world. Holiday traditions serve as touchstones that the family returns to year after year, no matter what happens. This helps developing children feel secure, in spite of all the shifting that is occurring within and around them.‎ Secondly, holiday traditions help children feel useful. From about 5 to 11 years of age, children struggle to believe that they can be useful and successful at a variety of activities. Holiday traditions typically involve clear roles and responsibilities for each family member, from the youngest to the oldest. For instance, a kid may be tasked with picking out the candy that will be given out on Halloween or helping to make cookies for Christmas. In successfully completing their holidayrelated tasks children get to naturally work on their sense of industry, and therefore develop their personalities.‎ Finally, holiday traditions convey important cultural values. For one, the values of the larger group are passed along. For example, the celebration of Thanksgiving centers around American values. At the same time, holiday traditions pass clear messages about what the particular family values. For instance, if the family tradition helps out at a soup kitchen every Thanksgiving, the importance of community involvement is strongly communicated.‎ ‎【解题导语】‎ 7‎ ‎　本文是一篇议论文。作者从三个方面论证了节日传统对孩子的益处：节日传统可以创造稳定，帮助孩子培养性格以及传达重要的文化价值观。‎ ‎5．What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A．Why Children Need Holiday Traditions B．How Holiday Traditions Benefit Parents C．Holiday Traditions Create Stability D．What Holiday Traditions Involve 解析：选A　标题归纳题。根据全文内容特别是第一段最后一句可知，本文主要论述节日传统带给孩子们的益处，也就是孩子们需要节日传统的原因，故选A项。‎ ‎6．What do holiday traditions include?‎ a．a holiday meal b．helping the needy c．going to school d．the lighting of candles e．the practicing of faith A．a, b, c, d　　　　　　 B．b, c, d, e C．a, c, d, e D．a, b, d, e 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，节日传统包括节日宴会、帮助贫民、信仰履行、点燃蜡烛等，故选D项。‎ ‎7．Which of the following best describes the author's attitude to holiday traditions?‎ A．Curious.
