BOOK INTRODUCTION——Number the Stars （《细数繁星》）

It’s hard to believe that I wrote Number the Stars more than twenty years ago．It seems like yesterday that I answered the phone on a snowy January morning and received the news that it had won the 1990 Newbery Medal．

I think readers of every age may match themselves with the important persons in the books they love and ask themselves: Would I have done that? What choice（选择） would I have made?

And ten—the age of Annemarie in Number the Stars—is an age when young people are beginning to develop a strong set of personal ethics（道德观；价值观）….They are beginning to realize that the world they live in is not always good and safe．

So they follow a story about a ten-year-old girl who is caught in a dangerous situation, and she must make decisions．Young readers become cheerful when Annemarie takes a deep breath, enters the woods, faces the danger, stands up to the enemy and gets her success．

Today, the book has come out in many countries and translated into many languages．It found its way into the hands and hearts of children who had read about but never experienced war…．Books do change lives, I know; and many readers have told me that Number the Stars changed theirs when they were young, that it made them think about both．cruelty（残酷；残忍） and courage．“It was something that shaped my idea of how people should be treated,” wrote a young woman recently, telling me about her own fourth-grade experience with the book．

The Danish friend who first told me the story of her childhood, and who became the Annemarie in my book, is an old woman now．So am I．We both love thinking of the children reading the story today, coming to it for the first time and realizing that once, for a short time and in a small place, a group of prejudice-free（不存偏见的）people created a touching story of love．and kindness towards others．

—Lois Lowry

1．What is the name of the book and who is the writer?

Do you know black boxes?

Black boxes are flight recorders placed in an aircraft for the purpose of making it easier to  know how the accidents happened in flight．

An airplane actually has two black boxes．The flight data recorder catches the information, which can discover whether human error or instrument problems contributed to an accident．The cockpit (驾驶舱) voice recorder records pilot voices and cockpit sounds．

The black boxes are not black．They are painted bright orange to help with their recovery after accidents．The outside is with stripes of reflective tape (反光带)．The black boxes are usually placed in the tail of a plane where they are more likely to survive a crash．A flight data recorder is required to store at least 25 hours of flight information．A cockpit voice recorder is required to record at least 2 hours of audio information．

For the black boxes to survive a crash, they are built to be waterproof, fireproof, shockproof, heat and pressure and corrosion resistant (耐腐蚀)．The black box must be able to hold 3, 400 times the force of gravity, when the airplane goes down at the speed of about 500 km/h．It must also survive flames up to 1, 100 degrees Celsius for one hour, and the boxes should be able to give out a signal once per second while put under 6, 000 meters of saltwater for at least 30 days．

How is data from black boxes picked up? It needs special skills to physically bring the black boxes back．Investigators may need to clean and dry the black boxes and download data from them．It takes time to download and get the information from data．If the storing units go wrong, it will take longer time, either days or months．

So, the black boxes are very important to explain to everyone what happened during the flight.

1．What does the unlined word “recovery” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．恢复                            B．找回                            C．保存                            D．覆盖

2．Which of the following sentences is True according to the passage?

A．Black boxes help us know how flight accidents happen.

B．It takes little time to download data from the black boxes.

C．Black boxes are painted black with stripes of reflective tape.

D．One black box is in the head of a plane and the other is in the tail.

3．In Paragraph 5, the writer uses numbers to show ________.

A．the black boxes are strong enough

B．the black boxes can help the plane land safely

C．the black boxes can tell people the cause of the accident

D．the black boxes can hold a lot of information about the plane

4．This passage mainly tells us ________.

A．how long black boxes work

B．how black boxes pick up data

C．what messages black boxes carry

D．what we know about black boxes

参考答案

一、单项填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分）

1．D

【解析】句意：神舟14号载人飞船发射到太空是多么大的成功啊！

考查感叹句和冠词辨析。根据“…great success”可知，中心词“success”是名词，应用what引导的感叹句，排除B、C项。a不定冠词，用在以辅音音素开头的单词前，表示泛指；the定冠词，特指某人或某物，根据“Shenzhou-14 manned spaceship”可知，此处特指神舟14号载人飞船，要用定冠词the表示特指。故选D。

2．B

【解析】句意：这个小女孩耐心地听老师讲课，记住了大部分要点。

考查副词修饰动词和enough后置。此处在句中修饰动词，用副词形式，排除AC，too…to表示“太……而不能”，带入题干意为“这个小女孩太耐心地听老师讲课，以至于记不住大部分要点”，语意不符，故选B。
