It is said that we will live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Here is what life will be like on Mars.
First of all, transport（交通）should be much better. Now our spaceships are too slow to carry may people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, the spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us There is no answer yet.
Life on Mars will be better. 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. 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.

Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.
Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England and then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain Could it “talk” to other computers
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the Word Wide Web（www）all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!

Chinese space lover Wang Yuan has been chosen as one of the volunteers for the Mars-500 test project. 16 Another five volunteers are all space lovers. They are three Russians, an Italy-Colombian and a Frenchman. They will feel what it’s like to travel to Mars without leaving the earth. During the whole process（过程）, they are locked up for one and a half years under the condition which is similar to the red planet. So the experiment is called Mars-500.

The most difficult thing is that they will be separated from the people outside. 18 That will be hard. When reporters asked what they would miss most during the 500-day special life, Charles from France said, “For me, it will be mainly my family, the sun and fresh air”.

二、A 1~5 CABBC B 6~10 ABABD
C [主旨大意]本文介绍了万维网的发明者Tim Berners-Lee。他不是有名的发明家，但他的发明却改变了我们的生活。
11.C 解析：根据第三段中的“Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works”以及其后的描述可知正确答案。故选C。
12.D 解析：结合画线词前的“He answered the same questions again and again”可知正确答案。故选D。
13.D 解析：根据最后一段中的“He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today”可知正确答案。故选D。
14.D 解析：通读第二段到第四段可知，正确的顺序是D项。故选D。
15.B 解析：通读第一段和最后一段可推断，作者觉得Tim Berners-Lee是个伟大的人，他的发明改变了我们的生活。故选B。
D 16~20 DCBAE
三、1.B 解析：结合文意可知，今天人们用现代机器看天空。use sth. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“用某物做某事”，后面动词要用动词不定式。故选B。
2.D 解析：结合文意可知，这与几千（thousands of）年前人们只能使用眼睛的情况大不相同。thousands of为固定搭配，意为“数以千计的”，符合文意。thousand 一般不能单独使用；与数词连用时意为“几千”，后面不加s。故选D。
3.D 解析：结合文意可知，也许他们梦想探索（explore）宇宙。dream of doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“梦想做某事”。故选D。
4.C 解析：结合文意可知，这个故事开始的时间并不长，但是（but）第一批字航员并不是人类—它们是动物。根据第二段第一句“When did humans first go into space”可知，是说人类第一次进入太空是什么时候，空格所在句子又表示第一批宇航员并不是人类，与前文形成转折关系，but意为“但是”，表转折，符合文意。as意为“因为”，表示原因；or意为“或者”，表选择；so意为“所以”，表结果，均不符合文意。故选C。
5.A 解析：结合文意可知，科学家们想让人类到太空旅行尽可能安全（safe）。as+形容词（副词）原级+as possible为固定搭配，意为“尽可能.......”，safe为原级，意为“安全的”，符合文意。故选A。
6.B 解析：结合文意可知，所以他们决定用动物做实验，并在太空飞行中测试它们（them）。them意为“他（她，它）们”，为人称代词宾格形式，符合文意。they 意为“他（她，它）们”，为人称代词主格形式；their意为“他（她，它）们的”；theirs意为“他（她，它）们的（所有物）”，均不符合文意。故选B。
7.C 解析：结合文意可知，昆虫、老鼠、青蛙、狗和猴子是最早进入太空的动物。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个定语从句，修饰先行词“some of the animals”，且“some of the animals”在定语从句中做主语，意为“一些动物”，所以关系代词应该使用that。故选C。
8.B 解析：结合文意可知，很多动物都死（die）了，但它们的帮助使太空旅行对人类更安全。根据下半句的“helped”可知，此句的谓语动词也要用过去式，B项符合文意。故选B。
9.A 解析：结合文意可知，为了他们的伟大贡献，“我们”不应该（shouldn’t）忘记这些动物。may not意为“可能不会”，don’t have to意为“没有必要”，needn’t意为“不需要”，均不符合文意。故选A。
10.C 解析：结合文意可知，不幸的是，它在它的宇宙飞船返回地球后（after）去世了。if 意为“如果”，because 意为“因为”，since 意为“自从”，均不符合文意。故选C。
11.D 解析：结合文意可知，幸运的是（luckily），猴子Ham的结果不同。该空用来修饰整个句子，应该用副词修饰，只有D项符合文意。故选D。
12.C 解析：结合文意可知，当它健康地回到地球时，它的故事愉快地结束了。in good health为固定搭配，意为“身体状况良好”。故选C。
13.B 解析：结合文意可知，像Ham这样的一只（an）动物能在太空和地球上做同样的事情吗？此处用冠词修饰animal（动物），表示泛指，且animal为元音音素开头，所以应该使用不定冠词an。故选B。
14.D 解析：结合文意可知，答案是在1961年Ham被送入（be sent）太空时得到的。Ham是被送入的，所以需要用被动语态。根据时间状语“in 1961”可知，该句应用一般过去时，所以此处为一般过去时的被动语态，D项符合文意。故选D。
15.A 解析：结合文意可知，是的，它每件事都做得很好，并且又（another）活了16年。another 意为“又一”，符合文意。other 意为“其他的”；others意为“其他人”；the others意为“其余的（人或物）”，表示在一个范围内的其他全部，均不符合文意。故选A。

Life in the Future
As time goes by, there is going to be big changes in our daily life. For example, when we’re hungry, we don’t need to cook in a hurry. Just take some pills, and everything will be OK. When we’re free, we can go anywhere by spaceship. It’s easy to be a visitor there. And it’s very cheap just like taking a taxi to somewhere now. And of course, if we want to see what’s like under the sea, just travel down there in an object like UFO. Maybe there are lots of cities and people there. I think it’ll be very easy to travel anywhere, not only in our world but also in space and in the deep sea.
