二、阅读篇（一）I work at a university in the US where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a “night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark. We're worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don't know whether there's enough food on the east coast for these birds. There's lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply (的确) don't have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it's wet. Oh, and it's so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me falling asleep.But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory, where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!( )1. What does the underline word “hugely” mean A. Cheaply. B. Loudly. C. Greatly. D. Carefully.( )2. What does the writer's team hope to find about American black ducks A. What they do at night.B. What food they live on.C. What animals like to stay with them.D. What makes the east coast a good place for them.( )3. When the writer spends a long time watching ducks, he _______.A. often finds it is boring B. is glad to be in a quiet place C. doesn't like the high temperaturesD. sometimes finds it hard to stay awake( )4. What does the writer say about working inside a lab over the summer A. He enjoys the working place.B. It's an important part of his job.C. He will study the results by himself.D. It's a good way to work with other people.( )5. The writer writes the passage mainly to _______. A. show us a new equipment B. tell us what kind of work he does C. give us advice on how to work in the dark D. describe how he became a scientist on water birds（二）Sally Ride was born in California in 1951. She was the first American woman to travel into space. She loved to play tennis and wanted to be a tennis player when she was young. But after three months' professional(专业的) training, she changed her mind. She went to Stanford University and started to study science. She studied stars and planets. She did researches at the university and got her PhD in astrophysics (天体物理学博士学位) after several years' hard work.In 1977, she took a test to become an astronaut. And then she was picked up from over 8，000 people. In order to realise her dream of going into space, she had to get different kinds of special and difficult training. She learned how to fly a plane, how to jump out of a plane as well as how to operate(操作) special machines.Sally and four other astronauts flew a spaceship called Challenger on Jun. 18，1983. She became the first American woman to travel into space. Later, she taught at the University of California. Then she wrote seven books on space for children, encouraging children to study science. Unfortunately, she died in 2012. ( )1．What did Sally Ride want to do at first A．She wanted to study stars.B．She wanted to study science.C．She wanted to play tennis. D．She wanted to do researches.( )2．When did Sally Ride go into space A．In 1951. B．In 1977. C．In 1983.

They've never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. Astronauts will spend about six months getting to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months travelling back to the Earth. They'll be away from the Earth for about three years, so they'll need much food. It's very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120 000 dollars to carry something that weighs(重) one kilo(千克). So an apple on Mars could cost 20 000 dollars! Of course, they will need to take much food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can't stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy. At the moment, astronauts in space stations eat dried food. It's very light, so it doesn't cost much money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like carrots and lettuce(生菜). Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They'll use these machines to change beans(豆) into food that tastes like meat or cheese. They probably won't eat real meat or cheese because it won't be possible to keep animals in space.( )1. Which planet do the astronauts plan to go to next A. Mars. B. Space. C. The Moon.( )2. How long will it take to get to Mars A. About three years. B. About two years. C. About six months.( )3. Why do the astronauts eat dried food A. Because it is cheap to carry. B. Because it is cheap to buy. C. Because it is very healthy.( )4. What may astronauts do in the future A. Eat only dried food. B. Grow some fresh vegetables on Mars. C. Grow food in their spacecraft.( )5. What will they get from beans A. Apples. B. Food that tastes like meat or cheese. C. Real meat and cheese.

答案篇一.CBBDC CADABBADCA BBDACACDBA　CACDB二.CADBBCCBDBACABB三.（一）One possible version:My dreamMy dream is to be an astronaut and travel in space when I grow up. When I was 10, I became interested in space travels. From then on, I often watched the space news on TV and read books on space travels. At the age of 12, I began to make model spaceships and now I have already made three. Last month I entered a model spaceship competition and won the prize. I am sure my dream will come true one day if I work hard.（二）One possible version:Because of our bad environment, lots of students want to move to Mars. What is Mars like Now listen to me. No astronauts have been to Mars. Only spaceships without people have been there. They have sent back some photos of Mars. Mars is one of the sun's eight planets. It's red. There's air on it but it's very thin. There's water on it but there's only a little. In the day it's very cold. So it's impossible for people to live on it.（三）One possible version:Dear classmates,If I could have a chance to choose, I would like to live on Mars.First of all, I think Mars would be a clean place without pollution. Secondly, living on Mars would be great fun. We wouldn’t have traditional classes at school, because we could study online. And we could play lots of exciting games like low-gravity ball games. When we were free, we could take a spaceship to Mars’s moons and have a good time there. Thirdly, travelling would be easy on Mars. We could drive cars like flying planes because cars would float in the air. We needn’t worry about traffic jams. It sounds fantastic, doesn’t it （110 words）
