A
Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed it to be. Astronauts who are expected to go there in the next ten years may find plenty of water to get their thirst away. If there is water, it will be much more possible to find life on Mars.
This is the view of 40 geologists who have been analysing(分析) thousands of pictures and other scientific information gained by robot explores(探测仪) in the 1960s and 1970s.
At first scientists thought the red planet was as lifeless as the moon with dust storms blowing over the large sandy deserts. But now the picture is very different with mountains and valleys cut by glaciers(冰川) and rivers running deep underground.
In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr. Michael Car of the US says, “I believe there is lots of water on Mars.” Water will be in the form of ice. But it could save explores from having to take water with them.
The report says that Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages past, because of its axis(轴线) having been more titled(倾斜) towards the sun.
No convincing signs of plant or animal life have been found by instruments soft landed on Mars although only nearby area of landing instruments could be examined.
59. It was once believed that .
A. Mars was a dry old planet B. Mars was a warm old planet
C. Mars was an icy old planet D. Mars was full of water
60. The pictures of Mars were taken in the 1960s and 1970s.
A. by the astronauts B. by the scientists
C. by robot explorers D. by the geologists
61. The Martian pictures show that .
A. Mars is the same as the moon
B. Mars has a warmer climate now
C. there are glaciers and underground rivers on Mars
D. there are signs of plant and animal life on Mars
62. Now we know that .
A. the weather on Mars is hot B. there are dust storms on Mars
C. Mars has large sandy deserts D. Mars has a colder climate
B
Astronauts have already visited the Moon and lived on space stations. 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.
63. Which planet do the astronauts plan to go to next
A. Mars. B. Space. C. The Moon.
64. How long will it take to get to Mars
A. About three years. B. About two years. C. About six months.
65. 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.
66. 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.
67. What will they get from beans
A. Apples.
B. Food that tastes like meat or cheese.
C. Real meat and cheese.
C
In many stories on TV and in science fiction, humans can travel to stars far away. But so far, people have only been able to get to the moon.
What if a person wants to get to a star far away It would take a lifetime to travel. People should have to move at least at the speed(速度) of light. But in fact, nothing can move faster than light.
Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second(秒), or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels about 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles. That great distance is called a light-year (光年). It is used to measure(测量) distance in space.
Strange things happen to an object(物体) when it moves very fast. If an object moves at 86% of the speed of light, it will be twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A person would not age so fast in space as on the earth.
Alpha Centauri is the closest star to the sun. It is over four light-years away. So if a human traveled at the speed of light, it would take him nine years to go to Alpha Centauri and come back.
68. About the speed of light, which of the following is true
A. Light travels about 11 million miles a second.
B. Light travels more than 186,000 miles a minute.
C. Light travels about 11 million miles an hour.
D. Light travels about 6 trillion miles a year.
69. So far the farthest place humans have got to is .
A. Alpha Centauri B. the sun
C. the moon D. the earth
70. The underlined word "age" means .
A. 老年 B. 变老 C. 年龄 D. 时代
71. It would take a person to get to Alpha Centauri at the speed of light.
A. more than 4 years B. less than 2 years
C. about 9 years D. about 11 years
72. What's the best title(标题) of this article
A. The Distance Between the Sun and Other Stars
B. How to Travel to Alpha Centauri
C. Nothing Can Move Faster Than Light
D. Life Is Too Short
D
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on the Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called "e-teacher".
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will not be the same-meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
73. According to the text, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live .
A. on Mars B. on the moon C. under the sea D. in the sun
74. So far, how long will it take us from the Earth to Mars by spaceship
A. Two or three days. B. A few months.
C. A few days D. A few years.
75. In the future, the students on Mars .
A. will study mainly through the Internet
B. will study mainly in a classroom
C. will meet each other face to face every day
D. needn't study at all
76. Life on Mars will be better than life on the Earth because .
A. only a few people will live there
B. there will be more space and less work to do
C. there will be much delicious food
D. all students don't need to do any homework
77. According to the text, which of the following about Mars is NOT true
A. Transport will be much better and faster.
B. We need to develop a special plant which can produce water.
C. On Mars, we can jump higher than on the earth.
D. Food will be much more tasty.
八、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）
Water is wonderful. 78. We drink it, cook with it, wash with it, and swim in it. We use it to grow food and to flush(冲洗) the toilet. It's easy to get water and we never think about where we get it. We simply turn on the water and it's there. But for many people in the world, it's a different story.
More than one billion people (that's about one in six of all the people living on Earth) are not able to get clean water. And over 2.4 billion people don't have flush toilets. 79. Because of the polluted water, six thousand children die every day.
Surprisingly, only 2.5% of all the water on Earth is freshwater, in rivers, lakes and underground. 80. And almost more than half of the freshwater is frozen in ice at the north and south poles. So, as less than 1% of the world's freshwater is usable for us, it's really important that we take care of it!
81. So it made 2003 the International Year of Freshwater. It asked countries around the world to work together that year, and beyond, to make sure there is enough freshwater for everyone on the planet. But it's not only the government that can make a difference. We all can, by remembering to use water wisely. 82. Do your part to help the United Nations achieve its goal!
A. We use it every day.
B. Give it a try, everybody!
C. The rest 97.5% of it is salty, in the sea.
D. Many of the world's rivers and lakes are polluted.
E. The United Nations decided to help take care of our water.
九、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
Galileo Galilei was born in the year 1564 in the town of Pisa, Italy. When he was 20 years old, he was studying in Pisa. His father wanted him to be a doctor. Galileo was bored with school. The only subject he really liked was maths. As he grew older, Galileo became interested in studying the stars. At that time, most people thought the earth was the center and that the sun moved around the earth. But Galileo wanted to show that the earth moved around the sun.
Galileo got his idea after he read a book and learned more about stars. Galileo studied Jupiter(木星) with a telescope(望远镜). The telescope helped Galileo find some of Jupiter's moons(卫星). He saw that the moons moved around Jupiter. Now he knew that some things did not move around the earth!
Galileo wanted to tell everyone about his idea, but he had a problem. Some of Italy's rulers(统治者) did not like the idea that the earth was not the center. They said if Galileo did not say that his idea was wrong, they would kill him.
Galileo died in 1642. Today we know that the earth moves around the sun. So Galileo was right!
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
83. What did Galileo's father want him to be
84. What was Galileo's favourite subject at school
85. Did most people think the earth moved around the sun in the late 1500s
86. How did Galileo study Jupiter
87. When did Galileo die
