Ⅳ.阅读理解

A special lecture began Thursday morning, given by a teacher aboard a space module about 340 km above her students on earth，the first such attempt by Chinese.

Female astronaut Wang Yaping，one of the three crew members of Shenzhou－Ⅹ spacecraft, greeted about 330 primary and middle school students at a Beijing high school, through a live video feed system. “Hello, everyone. I am Wang Yaping. I will host the lecture today，”she said, smiling towards the camera, on board of the space module Tiangong－Ⅰ.

The students in her class included children from migrant (移动者，流动者) workers' families, of ethnic minorities (少数民族) and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. They were gathering at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University in Beijing. More than 60 million students and teachers at about 80,000 middle schools across the country were also watching the live broadcast on TV.

The first section of the class was all about weight. Nie Haisheng, commander of the crew, made a show of crossing his legs into a meditation (沉思) sitting posture in the air，which only a martial art (武术)master could do in the movies but was impossible for real people on earth. “Thanks to the weightless condition, we are all masters，” Wang joked.

Then, she introduced the special scale on board of the orbiter, which was designed on basis of the Newton's second law of motion, or measuring the mass of an object through the net force and the acceleration.

The lesson was aimed at making space more popular, as well as inspiring enthusiasm for the universe and science, according to Zhou Jianping, designer－in－chief of China's manned space program, who added that the lesson would also accumulate experience for similar larger activities.

Ⅵ.短文改错

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into my house, it was raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out of my room to find out that had happened, a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom.
