Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown "
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time." I quietly shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much shall I give you " she asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, "You gave an old woman a little moment of happiness."

C（2020年广州初三月考试题）
Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets For years, scientists said "no." or "we don't know." But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人；生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other."
11. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are .
A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers D. drivers
12. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of Earth. B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way.
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist. D. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life.
13. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them. D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time,
14. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They're afraid of us. B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us. D. They don't know how to use radio signals.
15. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages. B. Tools. C. Intelligent beings. D. Radio signals.
【答案】11. A 12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】文章讲述了两个天文学家认为在宇宙中有其他的生命，有两个原因，一个是时间， 宇宙大约有120亿年，这对于其他星球来说足够长的可以有生命；另一个原因是大小，宇宙是巨大的，大约有1000亿个星系，一些星球也许和地球相似。随着科技的发展，有一天也许我们能和他们联系。
11.根据 Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家).可知是天文学家；故选A
12.根据 Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."可知现在地球是唯一有生命的星球；故选D
13.根据In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets可知是因为没有高倍望远镜；故选B
14.根据Have beings from space already visited Earth "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. 可知是因为距离远；故选B
15．根据 we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other."可知是有智力的生物/人类；故选C

On May 15, China’s Tianwen 1 probe made a historic landing on Mars! People all over the world applauded (喝彩) the successful landing, as it was very hard to pull off.
In July 2020, Tianwen 1 was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center. In February, the probe entered Mars’ orbit (轨道). Experts said the difficulty of sending the probe into orbit was equal to hitting a golf ball from Paris and landing it in a hole in Tokyo. But it still couldn’t match the difficulty of the final landing phase (阶段), which is also called the “nine minutes of terror (恐怖)”. How did Tianwen 1 do it Let’s take a look.
Nine minutes of terror
Within nine minutes, the probe had to slow its speed from 20,000 km per hour to zero, landing from 125 km above Mars. Since the probe is 320 million km away from Earth, there is a signal delay (延迟) of over 10 minutes if the research team tries to control it from Earth. So the probe had to carry out the landing by itself!
The drag (空气阻力) created by the atmosphere (大气) slowed it down first. During this process, the surface of the craft heated up to 2,100 C, which could melt the craft! Luckily, it had a heat shield (抗热涂层) to protect it.
Next, a parachute (降落伞) opened to further reduce the craft’s speed. This was also a dangerous process, as the parachute’s ropes could break due to the craft’s high speed. Researchers used special materials to make the ropes strong enough to stay in one piece.
At 1.5 km above Mars, the craft fired its retrorockets (反向火箭) as another way to help it slow down. At 100 meters, the craft stayed in the air and used its sensors (传感器) to check the landing area. It had to move away from obstacles (障碍物) such as rocks before finally touching down.
Following the US, China is now the second country in the world to successfully land a probe on Mars. It will give Chinese scientists their first opportunity to closely study the Red Planet.
16 When did the probe enter Mars’ orbit
A. In July 2020. B. In February 2021.
C. On May 15, 2021. D. In July 2021.
17 How far away was the probe from Earth while landing on Mars
A. 320 million km. B. 20,000 km.
C. 125 km. D. 1.5 km.
18. Why does the craft have a heat shield
A. To reduce drag.
B. To heat up the atmosphere.
C. To make the landing process faster.
D. To protect it from melting.
19. What worked to slow down the probe just before its touchdown
A. The drag created by the atmosphere.
B. Ropes made of special materials.
C. A parachute.
D. Retrorockets.
20. What is the focus of the passage
A. Why Tianwen 1’s landing was out of control.
B. How Tianwen 1 landed on Mars successfully.
C. Tianwen 1’s journey to Mars.
D. The launch of Tianwen 1.

第三节、阅读表达(共5小题，计10分) 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（2020年山东临沂）
On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider-Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won't go hungry.
The man refuses to make his name public. The local people call him the "Birmingham Spider-Man". The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves (应得) a helping hand.
The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet alley and puts on his "uniform". After that, the "Spider-Man" starts handing his food out to people in need.
The man said, “I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention.” Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the "Spider-Stan", however, they come over and ask what he is doing.
“The Birmingham Spider-Man” has already got lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, "If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won't be so cold any longer."

4. He wants to get lots of attention.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown "
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time." I quietly shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much shall I give you " she asked.
"Nothing," I said.

C（2020年广州初三月考试题）
Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets For years, scientists said "no." or "we don't know." But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人；生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other."
11. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are .
A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers D. drivers
12. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of Earth. B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way.
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist. D. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life.
13. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them. D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time,
14. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They're afraid of us. B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us. D. They don't know how to use radio signals.
15. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages. B. Tools. C. Intelligent beings. D. Radio signals.

On May 15, China’s Tianwen 1 probe made a historic landing on Mars! People all over the world applauded (喝彩) the successful landing, as it was very hard to pull off.
In July 2020, Tianwen 1 was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center. In February, the probe entered Mars’ orbit (轨道). Experts said the difficulty of sending the probe into orbit was equal to hitting a golf ball from Paris and landing it in a hole in Tokyo. But it still couldn’t match the difficulty of the final landing phase (阶段), which is also called the “nine minutes of terror (恐怖)”. How did Tianwen 1 do it Let’s take a look.
Nine minutes of terror
Within nine minutes, the probe had to slow its speed from 20,000 km per hour to zero, landing from 125 km above Mars. Since the probe is 320 million km away from Earth, there is a signal delay (延迟) of over 10 minutes if the research team tries to control it from Earth. So the probe had to carry out the landing by itself!
The drag (空气阻力) created by the atmosphere (大气) slowed it down first. During this process, the surface of the craft heated up to 2,100 C, which could melt the craft! Luckily, it had a heat shield (抗热涂层) to protect it.
Next, a parachute (降落伞) opened to further reduce the craft’s speed. This was also a dangerous process, as the parachute’s ropes could break due to the craft’s high speed. Researchers used special materials to make the ropes strong enough to stay in one piece.
At 1.5 km above Mars, the craft fired its retrorockets (反向火箭) as another way to help it slow down. At 100 meters, the craft stayed in the air and used its sensors (传感器) to check the landing area. It had to move away from obstacles (障碍物) such as rocks before finally touching down.
Following the US, China is now the second country in the world to successfully land a probe on Mars. It will give Chinese scientists their first opportunity to closely study the Red Planet.
16 When did the probe enter Mars’ orbit
A. In July 2020. B. In February 2021.
C. On May 15, 2021. D. In July 2021.
17 How far away was the probe from Earth while landing on Mars
A. 320 million km. B. 20,000 km.
C. 125 km. D. 1.5 km.
18. Why does the craft have a heat shield
A. To reduce drag.
B. To heat up the atmosphere.
C. To make the landing process faster.
D. To protect it from melting.
19. What worked to slow down the probe just before its touchdown
A. The drag created by the atmosphere.
B. Ropes made of special materials.
C. A parachute.
D. Retrorockets.
20. What is the focus of the passage
A. Why Tianwen 1’s landing was out of control.
B. How Tianwen 1 landed on Mars successfully.
C. Tianwen 1’s journey to Mars.
D. The launch of Tianwen 1.

第三节、阅读表达(共5小题，计10分) 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（2020年山东临沂）
On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider-Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won't go hungry.
The man refuses to make his name public. The local people call him the "Birmingham Spider-Man". The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves (应得) a helping hand.
The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet alley and puts on his "uniform". After that, the "Spider-Man" starts handing his food out to people in need.
The man said, “I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention.” Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the "Spider-Stan", however, they come over and ask what he is doing.
“The Birmingham Spider-Man” has already got lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, "If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won't be so cold any longer."
