真题呈现
D
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.

34. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?
A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs
C. Adjust work schedules. D. Grade their homework.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts.

C. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom.
D. HUNCH:A College Admission Reform.
答案与解析
32—35 ADAB
32.推理题。题目中the bacteria in the International Space Station既是定位词，又是问题的核心词。可定位到第一段的文句：The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollablyon surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week（来自我们身体的微生物（微生物）在国际空间站的表面无法控制地生长，所以宇航员每周要花几个小时来清理它们）. 理解时，把microorganisms和bacteria的同意置换的关系梳理清楚，那么The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station和A为同意置换，故选A.
33.细节题。the HUNCH program为定位词，要明确的是the HUNCH program的 the purpose（目的）。文句HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers（Hunch设计用于连接高中教室和NASA工程师），就是对这一问题的回答，同时，它与选项D为同意置换，故选D.
34.推理题。题目中the NASA engineers do for the students in the program为已知信息，what 为未知信息，由此可以定位到文句：“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”与问题核心对应部分为 Engineers come and really do an in-person review（工程师们来亲自审查......).这与A项对应。
35.文章主旨题。主旨题一定围绕全文考虑，紧扣核心话题。但高考英语阅读理解一定要有“比”的思维，选取最佳答案，且“都对选大”（即选取具有概括性答案）。本文的核心话题与B和D有关，但D项中，这项目提及到，虽然影响大学入学，但不文章重点表述的内容，而且，它与大学入学改革有直接关系，故选B。
参考译文
细菌对宇航员来说是一个令人讨厌的问题。来自我们身体的微生物（微生物）在国际空间站的表面无法控制地生长，所以宇航员每周要花几个小时来清理它们。美国宇航局如何克服这个非常小的大问题？现在轮到一群高中生了。但不仅仅是孩子。这取决于美国航天局的预科高中课程，比如纽约费尔波特的费尔波特高中的一位科学教师吉恩·戈登和唐娜·希梅尔伯格。
Hunch设计用于连接高中教室和NASA工程师。在过去的两年里，戈登的学生一直在研究如何在零重力下杀死细菌，他们认为他们接近解决方案。“我们不给学生任何休息时间。他们必须像美国航天局的工程师那样去做，”项目经理弗洛伦斯·戈尔德说。
“没有测试，”戈登说。“没有分级作业。除了“你在努力实现你的目标”之外，几乎没有分数。“基本上，这是‘我必须生产这个产品，然后在年底把它提交给美国宇航局’，工程师们来亲自审查，而且……这在当时不是一件很好的事情。这是对你的产品的一个艰难的商业评论。”
戈登说，预感计划对大学入学率和实际生活技能有影响。“这些孩子太专注于他们的学习，所以我就坐在后面。我不教。”那讨厌的细菌呢？戈登说，他的学生每天都会给美国宇航局的工程师发邮件，讨论这个问题，为太空测试准备一个可行的解决方案
