　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based in the following passage.

　　When Mike Kelly first set out to build his own private space-ferry service, he figures his bread-and-butter business would be lofting satellite into high earth orbit. Now he thinks he may have figured wrong. "People were always asking me when they could go," says Kelly, who runs Kelly Space Technology, "I realized the real market is in space tourism."

　　According to preliminary market surveys, there are 10,000 would-be space tourists willing to spend $1 million each to visit the final frontier. Space Adventures in Arlington have taken more than 130 deposits for a two-hour, $98,000 space tour tentatively set to occur by 2005. This may sound great, but there are a few hurdles. Putting a simple satellite into orbit—with no oxygen, life support or return trip necessary—already costs and astronomical $2,200/kg. And that doesn't include the cost of insuring rich and possibly litigious(愛打官司的)passengers. The entire group of entrepreneurs trying to corner the spacetourism market has between them "just enough money to blow up one rocket".

　　The U.S. space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in making space less expensive for the little guys. So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that's inexpensive, safe and reliable. Kelly Space's prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines. Rotary Rocket in California has a booster with rotors to make a helicopter-style return to earth. The first passenger countdowns are still years away, but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington are already informally discussing flight regulations. After all, you can't be too prepared for a trip to that galaxy far, far away.

　　62. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　[A] Take Vacations in Space [C] Flight Regulations in Space Travels

　　[B] Building Hotels in Space [D] Cost of Space Traveling

　　63. The phrase "bread-and-butter business" (Line 1, Pare.1) most probably means ________.

　　[A] a business to sell bread and butter [C] the business to make a living

　　[B] a business to produce bread and butter [D] a traveling agency

　　64. How much is the 2-hour space tour for each person according to Space Adventures in Arlington?

　　[A] $1 million. [B] $10,000. [C] $98,000 [D] $22,000

　　65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　[A] The biggest hurdle for the space-tourism project is lack of a life supporting system.

　　[B] The entrepreneurs trying to explore the space-tourism have plenty of money.

　　[C] The government has little interests in this project.

　　[D] The first passenger countdowns are within a few years.

　　66. What's the author's tone in the last sentence of the passage?

　　[A] Objective. [C] Approving.

　　[B] Ironical. [D] Enthusiastic.

　　Reading involves looking at graphic symbols and formulating mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 67 over the centuries. During the 1950s especially, increased attention has been devoted to 68 and describing the reading process. 69 specialists agree that reading 70 a complex organization of higher mental 71 , they disagree 72 the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 73 reading as simply the decoding of symbols to the sounds they stand 74 .

　　These authorities 75 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is 76 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 77 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 78 to some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 79 reads.
