阅读理解Passage ThreeIn the race to the moon, who came in first?You might say the answer is Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, the crew ofApollo 11.Or you could represent for the crew of Apollo 10, which reached the moon in May1969 and then headed back to Earth without landing. But there is a much stranger answer to this question, depending on how much you careabout humans and what your definition ( 定 义 ) of reaching the moon might be. Before anypeople arrived at the moon, other animals had got there first. And unlike the dogs and monkeys that were made famous in early space shots and Earth orbits, the first creatures to reach themoon were a pair of tortoises, Discovery 's Amy Shira Teitel reminded us.The Soviet spacecraft (航天器) sent the animals around the moon -although not intoits orbit-during a mission in the middle of September, 1968. The unmanned (无人驾驶的) craft then returned to Earth and dashed into the Indian Ocean, after which the Russians recovered the craft. A month later, Soviet scientists revealed that the spacecraft had been a tiny ship, carryingthe tortoises, wine flies, meal worms, plants, seeds, bacteria, and other living matter. The tortoises, as history records, lost about 10 percent of their body weight, but hadahealthy appetite when they returned to Earth. In the following checkups comparing the animals to“stay-at-home turtles used as a test control, ”most things seemed normal, aside fromsomevaguely explained minor problems with the liver. What this all means is that, as Teitel explained,“The first living beings to see an Earthrisefrom the Moon were Russian tortoises. However, as far as I can tell, the animals were not named.” According to the passage, which of the following reached the moo first?

单选题Passage One June came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve,which was a Saturday,Mr. Jones went into Willing ton and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back,he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came,the animals were still not fed. At last,they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains. It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands,whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear.Together,though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand,they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures,which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose,frightened them. After only a moment or two,they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully. The four men did not feed the cows because_______.

单选题Passage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for .livelihood-business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages,and products backed by .its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial,mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker,the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself. As a national and international institution,The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women,and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow,the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America,for that was its audience. However,this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer,opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters,but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics,it dominated the magazine’s content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses,challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic(昏昏欲睡)America,however,The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor. According to Paragraph 1,who are primarily the readers of the Post?
