    A company planning to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests
    in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and the length of time for the multibilliondollar project.
    The Barcelonabased architects of the Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a
    threenight stay at the hotel. This price also includes an eightweek training course on an island. During their
    stay, guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes.Galactic
    Suite Ltd's CEO Xavier Claramunt says the project will put his company in a leading position of a new
    industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecasts space travel will become common in the future. "It's
    very normal to think that your children, possibly within 15 years, could spend a weekend in space" he told Reuters Television.
    A promising space tourism industry is beginning to take shape with construction in progress in New
    Mexico of Spaceport America, the world's first facility built specifically for passengers.  British
    industrialist Richard Branson's space tours firm, Virgin Galactic, will use the facility to send tourists to
    space at a cost of $200,000 a ride.
    Galactic Suite Ltd, set up in 2007, hopes to start its project with a single pod (分离舱) in orbit 280
    miles above the earth. "It will take a day and a half to reach the pod, and the passengers will join it for
    three days," Claramunt said. More than 200 people have expressed an interest in traveling to the space
    hotel and at least 43 people have already reserved it.
    The numbers are similar for Virgin Galactic with 300 people already paid or signed up for the trip, but
    unlike Branson, Galactic Suite says they will use Russian rockets to transport their guests into space from
    a spaceport to be built on an island in the Caribbean. But critics have questioned the project, saying the
    length of time that will be used is unreasonable and also where the money is coming from to support the
    project.
    1. What's Xavier Claramunt's attitude towards the space tourism industry?
    A. Quite critical.
    B. Slightly worried.
    C. Highly optimistic.
    D. Fully satisfied.
    2. Virgin Galactic's guests will be transported into space by using rockets produced in________.
    A. Spain
    B. America
    C. Britain
    D. Russia
    3. Which of the following is one of the critics' concerns about this project?
    A. It is hard to ensure the safety of tourists.
    B. There are many technical difficulties.
    C. It will be a waste of resources.
    D. It may lack support in money.
    4. According to the passage, traveling to the space hotel ________.
    A. will soon be possible for common people
    B. has attracted the attention of some people
    C. will make a large profit for the tourist industry
    D. is considered an industry with a huge future by many people
    5. What's the best title for the passage?
    A. The world's first space hotel is to open in 2012.
    B. The world's first commercial spaceport is being built.
    C. Space tourism:a surprising new industry.
    D. Space travel will become common in 15 years.

故事类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 故事类阅读

故事类阅读概念:

这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。


故事类阅读应试技巧:

1、抓住文章的6个要素:
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此,无论是顺叙还是倒叙,阅读此类文章时,必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how),不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问,寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情:
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达,因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换,也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题,讲完一件事情后,作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线,它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图,属于必考点,所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心,把握作者态度:
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的,它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时,尤其要分析文章的结尾,因为很多文章卒章显志,用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外,叙述一件事必有其目的,或阐明某一观点,或赞美某种品德,或抨击某种陋习,这就要求我们在阅读时,通过对细节(第1点中的六要素)的理解,把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断:
分析文章,归纳主题,属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章,架空分析,一定让分析在文章中有依据。
