Welcome to Adventureland!

Step into Moving to Mars, an exhibition of Mars missions and colony design at London's Design Museum,and immediately you have good reasons not to move there.
Texts announce that Mars wasn't made for you; that there is no life and precious little water; that, dressed in a spacesuit, you will never touch, taste or smell the planet you now call “home”. As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago,“What's different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except try not to die.”
It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition,but it provides a valuable,dark background against which the rest of the show can sparkle (闪耀)—a show that is, as its chief manager Justin remarks,“not about Mars; this is an exhibition about people.”
Moving along, there is a quick yet clear flash through what the science fiction writer Robinson calls “the history of Mars in the human mind”. A Babylonian clay tablet and a Greek vase speak to early ideas about the planet. A poster for the original Total Recall film reminds us of Mars's psychological threat.
The main part of the show is our current plans for the Red Planet. There are real spacesuits and models of 3D printed Martian settlements and suitable clothing and furniture. Mission architectures and engineering sketches line the walls. Real hammers meant for the International Space Station are wall mounted beside a low gravity table that has yet to leave,and may indeed never leave Earth.
This, of course, is the great strength of approaching science through design: reality and assumption can be given equal visual weight,drawing us into an informed conversation about what it is that we actually want from a future on Mars.
24.What is the text mainly about
A.How to move to Mars.
B.How to survive on Mars.
C.What preparations we made for Mars.
D.What the exhibition of Mars truly tells us.
25.What can we learn from Lisa Grossman

B.It's no good settling on Mars.

D.You can live on Mars in a spacesuit.
26.What does the exhibition focus on
A.The current plans for Mars.
B.The advantages of living on Mars.
C.The early ideas about Mars.
D.The history of Mars in the human mind.
27.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A.An experience. B.An opinion.
C.A fantasy. D.A solution.

The beginning of baseball in China traces back further than most would think, in 1863. From that time,Chinese universities soon began to stage baseball activities. The first game, as documents recorded, was held in Shanghai in 1905. National interest in this traditional American sport picked up quickly, and in 1915,China placed second in the Greater Asia Baseball Tournament held in Shanghai. Several decades later, baseball was as popular as it would ever be. In 1959, teams from 30 regions came together in a national competition.
Founded in 2002, the China Baseball League (CBL) is China's professional league for the sport,with seven teams around the country. The opportunity to capture a huge new market with China's growing interest saw the US Major League Baseball (MLB) open its first China office in Beijing in 2007,which has since then developed the Chinese market and educated young athletes. An example is the youth baseball program Play Ball in major Chinese cities. In the same year, the CBL partnered with Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), agreeing to allow Japanese clubs to send coaches and players to China and Chinese players to train at Japanese facilities. This program helps Chinese schools integrate baseball into their physical education curriculum, and build professional development centres. More and more Chinese youths are getting involved with the sport, taking baseball class on the weekends or after school. Many programs for children have been established and often hold classes at many baseball fields.
Through these different partnerships and cooperations, China has created opportunities for the citizens to experience another culture. China might just be the future of baseball. Through heavy investments since 2017,the CBL hopes to one day cultivate a Yao Ming of baseball, which would bring huge exposure to the sport.
28.What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A.The beginning of baseball in China.
B.The development of baseball in China.
C.The national competition of baseball in China.
D.The interest in this traditional American sport.
29.How does the writer develop this text
A.By the time order.
B.By the cities adding.
C.By China's interest growing.
D.By partner countries increasing.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “capture” in Paragraph 2
A.Lose. B.Found. C.Seize. D.Control.
31.What can we predict from Paragraph 3
A.Baseball remains a mystery to most of Chinese people.
B.The interest in developing baseball is limited in China.
C.Chinese schools will have baseball education curricula.
D.More baseball talents and fans will spring up in China.

When you can speak another language, your world becomes bigger, richer and more inspiring. However, for many of us, learning a language is a terrifying experience.
Babbel is a comprehensive online learning system that allows the user to combine learning with his or her everyday life. Launched in 2007 in Berlin, it's created and maintained by a team of 300 employees from 28 nations, including linguists, language teachers, native speakers, and authors.
The 14 language courses (including French, Spanish, Polish, German, Swedish and English) on offer are designed to be used on the go, anywhere and at any time, thanks to Babbel's multi platform mobile apps. These courses are free to download and contain 2,000—3,000 vocabulary words per language, pronounced by native speakers and accompanied by relevant images.
This native speaker approach, says Markus Witte, CEO and founder of Babbel, is key to the company's success. “The courses are designed by experienced language teachers and linguists,” he explains. “Their knowledge about learning processes and language pairings is crucial (至关重要的) when designing lessons. We offer 14 learning languages and it makes a huge difference whether a Portuguese or an English native learns Spanish.”

Registration of Babbel is completely free, as Babbel provides advanced lessons in every language, so you can start making progress immediately. If you choose to sign up, you are offered monthly, three monthly, six monthly or yearly payment plans and this gives you immediate access to your chosen language on www. as well as via the mobile apps for Android or IOS.
The lessons are quick, bite sized and entertaining. 50% of Babbel users learn with apps. Witte says, “This mobile language learning supports Babbel's idea of easy learning.

When it comes to green buildings,we tend to think of new ones—the kind of high tech, solar paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. __36__ They are the witness of the country. And it would be incredibly wasteful to tear them all down and replace them with greener versions. 37 What's more,it would take an average of 65 years for the reduced carbon emissions from a new energy efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. 38
But there is an unavoidable fact that nearly half of U.S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering those aged houses. “You can't deal with the climate change without dealing with existing buildings,” says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust. With some exceptions,the oldest homes tend to be the least energy efficient. 39 Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000.
__40__ Historic ones like Lincoln's Cottage can be transformed through efficiency upgrades. They can not only help protect property owners from rising power costs; but also can save the earth.
A.But how to change their conditions
B.But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes.
C.Some effective measures should be taken by the government.
D.So some people say that the greenest way is to maintain old ones.
E.Fortunately, some relatively simple changes can green older homes.
F.Vast energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.
G.The main cause is the cracks that expand over time and let outside air in.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Nowadays the business of fast food is developing at a rapid speed. Have you ever thought twice before deciding to eat fast food Even if it is easy to buy and cheap, the risks outweigh (超过) the five minutes of satisfaction that fast food brings. There are many risks when it comes to eating food that's made in just a few seconds.
What you eat can affect your health. People who are addicted to fast food are more likely to suffer from various life threatening diseases. Obesity (肥胖) can come when fast food is bought often. Fast food is made from a lot of fats and high calories. If it isn't removed, then you can grow to become obese. Even a small quantity of fast food contains many calories. People are fooled by its appearance and they tend to eat more. Thus, without knowing, they consume a lot of calories. What's worse, obesity isn't the only risk. Heart disease is also a danger. The more fats, sugar and salt you eat, the weaker your heart can grow.
Another concern for most consumers is that they can't keep track of the sources of the food supplies in fast food restaurants. They never know about the living conditions of the animals killed for meat in those restaurants. A recent study has suggested that bacteria have been found in about 38% fast food. Even some soft drinks are now infected by food borne illnesses that usually come from meat.
Although fast food is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of eating, the health risks aren't worth your life, and risking your life for something that isn't good for you could cost thousands of dollars in hospital bills. It is important to eat healthily and make good choices when deciding what to put in your body. Don't be lazy and don't pick up fast food on your way home from work.

Dear Lucy,
Thanks for your letter. You asked me something about the music in my life. Let me tell you briefly.
Music plays an important part in my life. Actually, I like many kinds of music and my favourite one is country music. It not only sounds very nice and pure but also brings me into dreamland.
I'm not interested in rock music. I think it is too loud and very difficult for me to understand! The melody is not soft or nice at all! I can't stand the strong beat, which nearly makes me faint!
In a word, music is a necessity in my life. As for the importance of music to my life, you can guess, without it I can't live happily.
How about you What do you think of music I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
