Ⅱ. Reading comprehension: (2×10=20)
Directions: Read the following passages. Make your proper choices and blacken the

(1)
The problem of leisure is new. Until very recent times people worked each day to the limit of their
strength. Of course there were always a privileged few who had leisure; but most men had to work
12,14, or even 16 hours a day, six days a week. As late as 1840 the average factory worker labored
72 hours a week. “Sunup to sundown” was the farmer’s day, or as another phrase puts it,“from can
to can’t.”
Today, working less than a 40-hour week, people enjoy more leisure time. Hence, the wise use of
leisure time has become an important problem for everyone, young or old. It is a particularly
difficult problem for the sick, the aged, and those who have retired from earning a living. Those
people have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use
it .
However short the work week becomes, work is still the most important part of life. We do not
work to get leisure and the pleasures leisure brings us; rather, we use leisure wisely so that work
itself can become awarding and enjoyable. The feeling of success at doing one’s daily
work—whether it is a job, maintaining a home, or going to school—depends largely on coming to
it each day with fresh energy and active interest.
Leisure and recreation go together, though they are not necessarily the same thing.“Recreation”
has an obvious meaning. It is the kind of leisure activity that brings "re-creation" of strength and
spirit. When one speaks of making good use of leisure, he means choosing recreational activities
which contribute to health, growth, and spirit.
16. The phrase “from can to can’t” in Line 5, Paragraph 1 means ______.
A. from beginning to end
C. from morning to night
B. from birth to death
D. from time to time
17. How to spend leisure time wisely is NOT a particularly difficult problem for people ______.
A. who are very busy everyday
B who are sick in bed
C. who are aged and in good health
D. who have retired from work
18. How does the author look at work and leisure?
A. We work hard so that we can enjoy more leisure.
B. We enjoy leisure so that we can come back to work with fresh energy.
C. Leisure can bring us a lot of pleasures that work cannot.
D. The success of work has little to do with how we spend our leisure time.
19. What is the relationship between leisure and recreation, according to the author?
A. Leisure and recreation are closely related.
B. Leisure and recreation are identical.
C. Recreation covers all kinds of leisure activities.
D. Recreation does not belong to any leisure activity.
20. From the passage we know that ______.
A. leisure has been an old problem since ancient times
B. leisure cannot be replaced as the most important part of life
C. our success in work is mostly determined by whether we use leisure wisely
D. good recreational activities contribute greatly to health, growth and spirit

Russia’s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March
2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out,
bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.
The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to
be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was
in fall
2001.Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia’s cosmonaut training center,
Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner
receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC’s space plans for now.
NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in
2006.

Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to
commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:
Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure”
that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.”Space Island
says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks, and place it about 400
miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull
one-third as strong as Earth’s.
According to their vision statement, Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousands of people in
space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on
Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...”
Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and possibility of building or
co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to
20 years away.
Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International
Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won’t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel
room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first
generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.
In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer
guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small
gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to
walk around and function facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be
able to take space walks.
21. Which of the following statement is NOT true about Russia’s Mir Space Station according to
the passage?
A. It was planned to be the first destination for space tourists.
B. It was renamed Destination Mir in a game-show of NBC.
C. It was crashed down into the Pacific Ocean by Russian Aerospace Agency.
D. It put off the first trip into space for the time being.
22. The game-show from NBC was ______.
A. a reality-based competition for astronauts.
B. a competition game launched in the fall of 2001.
C. a TV show whose survivors would go on a trip to Mir Space Station.
D. a reality game for those who enjoyed cosmonautic training.
23. Which of the following statement
Adventures plans of Space Island?
is true according to the vision statement of Space
A. A commercial space infrastructure named “Space Odyssey” will be built.
B. The space city will be built by employing the empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks.
C. The space city will rotate around the earth for about 400 miles.
D. Different vehicles will be involved in taking tourists to and from the earth and the space.

A. The luxurious facilities in the space hotel.
B. All the conveniences of a hotel on earth.
C. Walking around the space freely.
D. Walking around the space city and possibly in the space.
