2023年之江实验中学九年级第二学期开学考英语阅读材料拓展练习
一、阅读理解(之江教育阅读理解CD 篇)
C
①Scientists at the University of Florida have grown plants in soil (土壤) that has come from the Moon. The experiment (实验) marks an important step toward growing plants on the Moon.
②____▲____. It doesn't have many nutrients--things that help plants: grow. However, it has plenty of iron (铁), and is full of tiny pieces of glass. What’s more, there's not a lot of it on Earth. In fact, most of it was collected over 50 years ago by NASA. The lunar(月球的) soil is so valuable that it took the scientists11 years to let NASA allow them to use it.
③The scientists chose a plant called thale cress (鼠耳芥) for their experiment. They put the lunar soil into 12 tiny bottles. They got the soil wet with water mixed with nutrients. Then they added seeds (种子). To compare, the researchers also planted thale cress seeds in volcanic ash (火山灰). After two days of watering, the scientists saw green growths in every bottle. “Everything sprouted (发芽). I can't tell you how surprised we were!” said Anna-Lisa Paul, the report's lead writer.
④As the scientists continued to care for the plants, they began to notice differences. The plants grown in lunar soil weren't as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash. They were smaller and grew more slowly. Most of the moon plants didn't develop well and some leaves turned red. The researchers say that the plants were “stressed” by the lunar soil.
⑤Now, there's a lot of interest in developing ways to help astronauts keep alive on the Moon. That's partly because of NASA's Artemis project which tries to send people to the Moon for a long period of time in a few years. Plants could help by providing food and oxygen (氧气).
⑥“The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we'll grow our own food,” said Dr. Robert Ferl. “Showing that plants will grow in lunar soil is actually a huge step in that direction.”
23. Which of the following sentences can be put in the “____▲____” in Paragraph 2
A. Plants can grow very well in lunar soil B. It's not easy to collect soil from the Moon
C. There are many ways to grow plants in lunar soil D. Soil from the Moon is very different from common soil
24. What does the scientists' experiment show
A. Plants can not grow in lunar soil at all.
B. Plants can grow in lunar soil, but not so healthily.
C. Plants can't grow in lunar soil unless they are provided with oxygen.
D. Plants grown in lunar soil are as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash.
25. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How NASA's Artemis project started. B. How long astronauts will live on the Moon.
C. Why scientists try to grow plants in lunar soil. D. When astronauts in NASA will be sent to the Moon.
26. Dr. Robert Ferl thinks it will be to grow food on the moon.
A. possible B. worrying C. unnecessary D. unbelievable
D
Do you believe in aliens During the 1980s, hundreds of mysterious circles appeared in fields all over England. Many people thought the crop(庄稼) circles were created by aliens from outer space. What were these circles And who had made them
They appeared like magic in the middle of night. Hundreds of geometrical (几何的) patterns appeared in the middle of English wheat fields. The most common idea was that they were made by spaceships. Before long, books were written on the subject, and many tourists went to see the circles. Two scientists, Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews, became crazy about the subject. They believed the circles were the work of an “unknown intelligence”. By the end of the 1980s, the crop circles had become a full-blown mystery, and there were regular reports in newspapers and on television.
There were other suggestions too. Some believed the circles had been caused by animals such as deer,while others thought the circles were caused by helicopters (直升机). Some experts thought the symbols were from ancient writings. However, no one could really offer a convincing explanation.
1990 was the golden year for the crop circles. Delgado and Andrews's book Circular Evidence came out and sold pretty well. That year, the crop circles were even more elaborate (复杂的) than the ones before. The hit of the year came on July 12th when a huge circle appeared in a field at Alton Barnes.
One day that same year, a group of famous circle experts set up plenty of surveillance equipment (监控设备) on a hill in Wiltshire. They were hoping to record the formation(形成) of a crop circle. Amazingly, the next day six circles appeared in a field just below them, without the team recording anything. Worse still,when the researchers entered the circles, they found man-made tools in the centre of each circle, which seemed to make it believable that the circles had been made by humans.
Finally, in 1991, Today newspaper published a report of how two men (Doug Bower and Dave Chorley)in their sixties had made the circles. The artists showed how they had created the circles at night with rope and flat boards.
However, since then, a great many more crop circles have appeared. Though better and better surveillance equipment, including government and army satellite (卫星) cameras, is used, no one has ever been caught actually making a crop circle. So, who is still making these circles And why The mystery remains.
27. How does the writer lead in the topic
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By making a survey. D. By asking questions.
28. Pete Delgado and Colin Andrews believed the circles were made by________.
A. Aliens B. animals C. humans D. helicopters
29. What can we know from the passage
A. The geometrical patterns were ancient writings.
B. Helicopters were used to find out who made the crop circles.
C. The experts who used surveillance equipment recorded nothing.
D. Today newspaper explained the formation of the crop circles successfully.
30. What's the best title of the passage
A. Do You Believe in Aliens B. Scientists and Crop Circles
C. Crop Circles-No More Mystery D. Crop Circles-Can Anyone Explain Why They Are There
