　　Mars One,a group that plans to send humans on a one-way trip to Mars,has announced its final 100 candidates.We spoke to two of the British hopefuls.

　　Alison Rigby,35,from East London

　　For Rigby,a chemistry graduate,who currently works as a secondary school lab technician,it is a lifelong passion for space that led to her decision to apply.

　　“Generally the reaction has been pretty positive from my friends and family since I told them I was down to the final 100,but it’s going to be difficult for my mum.I haven’t told her yet,”she says.Rigby explains that when she first applied in 2024,her mum told her she didn’t want her to go.

　　“I am doing this for something better,which will hopefully benefit more people than just staying at home and keeping my mum happy.As for the risk,of course I am scared.It’s something that has never been done before.But we are all going to die,and it’s important what you do before you die,”she says.

　　Clare Weedon,27,from Kent,England

　　“I applied because I want to be able to say I made a difference to the future of mankind,”explains Weedon,a 27-year-old manager.

　　Weedon doesn’t have a background in science,but she is driven by the chance.Weedon’s brother also applied but was not selected for the final 100.“My brother is pretty envious,but the rest of my friends and family are proud and excited.”The only exception is Weedon’s boyfriend,who doesn’t want her to go.

　　Weedon thinks it was her teamworking skills that saw her through this far—in her current job she works as part of a group of four,the same size as the planned Mars One crew.But she’s not pretending a trip to Mars is going to be a walk in the park.“When I think about it seriously,I am shocked,”she says,“but that doesn’t put me off.It drives me forward.”

　　(2024·山西質量監測)

　　As a man was passing some elephants,he suddenly stopped,confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope 1.(tie)to their front leg.No chains,no cages.2. was obvious that the elephants could,at anytime,break 3. from their bonds but for some reason,they did not.?

　　He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt 4.(get)away.“Well,”5. trainer said,“when they are very young and much 6.(small),we use the same size rope to tie them and,at that age,it’s enough to hold them.As they grow up,they are conditioned to believe the rope 7. still hold them,so they never try to run free.” ?

　　The man was amazed.These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but 8. they believed they couldn’t,they were stuck right where they were.?

　　Like the elephants,how many of us go through life 9.(hang)onto a belief that we cannot do something,10.(simple)because we failed at it once before?Failure is part of learning;we should never give up the struggle in life.?

　　答案與解析:

　　【語篇導讀】本文通過大象被繩子拴住卻不掙脫的現象告訴我們:不要故步自封,不要因為擔心失敗而放棄拼搏。

　　1.tied　解析:考查非謂語動詞。大象僅由一根系在前腿的小繩拴住。rope和tie之間是動賓關系,故此處用過去分詞表被動。

　　2.It　解析:考查代詞。本句句意:顯而易見,大象在任何時候都能夠掙脫繩子。分析句子成分可知,It在句中作形式主語,that引導的從句是真正的主語。

　　3.away　解析:考查動詞短語。break away from...“從……突然掙脫,從……逃脫”。

　　4.to get　解析:考查非謂語動詞。句意:他看見附近有位馴獸師,就問為什么這些動物只是站在那里而不試圖逃跑呢?make attempt to do sth“試圖做某事”。

　　5.the　解析:考查冠詞。本句句意:“好吧,”這位馴獸師說,“當它們還年幼、(體型)尚較小時,我們使用同樣大小的繩子拴住它們……”此處用定冠詞the表示特指。

　　6.smaller　解析:考查形容詞比較級。much修飾形容詞比較級。

　　7.can　解析:考查情態動詞。本句句意:當它們長大時,它們就習慣性地認為繩子依然能夠拴住它們,所以它們從沒嘗試逃跑。此處用情態動詞can表示一般的能力。

　　8.because　解析:考查原因狀語從句。本句句意:這些動物在任何時候都能夠掙脫繩子,但是因為它們認為不能,所以它們就待在原處。

　　9.hanging　解析:考查非謂語動詞。此處應用動詞-ing形式作伴隨狀語。

　　10.simply　解析:考查副詞。本句句意:……僅僅是因為我們曾經失敗過嗎?此處應用副詞作狀語。
