阅读理解。     Wong Fuk-wing (黄福荣), a Hong Kong volunteer (志愿者) at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Yushu, was
killed in the earthquake when he was trying to save others on April 14, 2010.
     Wong managed to run safely out of the building with some children when the first quake happened at
7:50 am on April 14, but he went back inside to rescue three other children and three teachers inside,
although he knew the danger of aftershocks (余震).
     At 10 am, all the children and one of the teachers were saved. However, Wong was buried under the
fallen building and died. The other two teachers were still waiting to be rescued.
     46-year-old Wong was a truck driver, who often said he could only give his efforts to charity (慈善)
instead of money, as he did not earn a lot. His tragic (悲剧的) end touched the hearts of many people both
in Hong Kong and on the mainland.
     Wong began volunteering in 2002. In 2003, Wong was told by the doctor he got serious illness, which
gave him a great blow. However, the illness did not deter the warm-hearted man. When the earthquake
struck Wenchuan is Sichuan Province in 2008, Wong rushed to the disaster area of Shifang to offer his
help though his family did not want him to go.
     In fact, Qinghai is a place Wong had often visited since 2006. As a volunteer, he gave out medicine and
clothing to the orphanage there. No one could expect that Wong would die helping others.
     Hong Kong Chief Secretary Henry Tang Ying-yen said he had "the highest respect" for the hero who
gave his life for others. "What he did has shown the Hong Kong spirit." The citizens of Hong Kong called
him "the pride of Hong Kong"s people" and people on the mainland have also praised him as "a true hero". 1. Wong died in the earthquake _____. [     ]
A. after he sent medicine and clothing to the orphanage

B. He was supported by his family being a volunteer.
C. He was thought highly of by the Chinese.
D. He was a taxi driver before he died. 4. Why are so many people deeply moved by the story of Wong? [     ]

阅读理解。     The majority of astronauts from America have been men. At the start of the space programme there was
strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen
to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme
for women astronauts.
     Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other
ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and
studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group
of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space.
During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She
was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.
     Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided
to find a teacher who could accompany (go with sb. esp. on a journey ) astronauts into space. They hoped
that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be
interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted
teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good
communicator and she immediately established (set up) a very good relationship with the news media (radio,
television and newspapers). It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement
about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward
to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is
partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe"s place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect
on people. 1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _____. [     ]
A. Judy was against the idea of having women in space at first
B. Judy was the first woman selected for astronaut training
C. Judy helped to launch three new satellites at the age of 35
D. Judy carried out a programme during her second space travel 2. Christa McAuliffe was chosen for training because _____. [     ]
A. she was popular with the news media
B. she expected to give history lessons in space
C. she was an excellent teacher and communicator
D. she made the students in space very excited 3. The reason why there was great interest in Flight STS-51-L is that _____. [     ]
A. both Christa and Judy got PhD degrees in the same year
B. a young secondary school teacher was on the flight
C. students were going to learn more about space travel
D. it was the first time for women to travel in space 4. What would be the best title for the passage? [     ]
A. Two Astronauts
B. Flight STS-51-L
C. Travelling in Space
D. The Training Programme
