A
A team of scientists are carrying out a project at the University of Greenwich in London. They are trying to find ways to make food on Mars in the future. The project is called Feeding Mars. It tries to use water, fish and fish waste to grow fruit and vegetables on Mars.
It would take at least 21 months to reach Mars, learn about its surface and return to Earth. So it would be a big help if the spacemen could grow fresh food on Mars itself.
Farming on Mars, however, will be very hard. There's plenty of water that can be taken from ice just below the surface, but the land on Mars is losing the nutrients(养分) that living things need. The team say that they could solve the problem by growing plants and breeding fish in the same place. Fish waste can then be used to provide nutrients for plants.
“It is expected that you can grow lots of plants, such as vegetables, tea plants and medicinal plants on Mars, ” says Dr Benz Kotzen, who leads the project. “You can even harvest (捕获)fish for food then. ”
56. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. The future. B. The project.
C. The land. D. The planet.
57. What makes it difficult to farm on Mars
A. Ice below the surface.
B. Too much fish waste.
C. The lack of living things.
D. The poor land condition.
58. How does Dr Benz Kotzen feel about Feeding Mars
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful.
C. Surprised. D. Funny.
B
For years, farmers have kept birds and other animals away from their crops with old fashioned scarecrows (稻草人). That worked well because those man like scarecrows could easily make the birds fly away. However, those things have been staying there without any technology.
There is a new robot scarecrow now—Super Robot Wolf. It can drive away any animal and it looks terrifying (可怕的) enough to do it.
Ohta Seiki, the company that made the robot, put it on the farm to test if it worked well in keeping animals away from crops. The robot factory made only such one, and some more will be made after the robot is well tested. Looking like a terrible wolf, with terrible large eyes and teeth, the robot has a scary look. When birds get close, the robot works by itself. Its eyes start shining, its head moves from one side to the other, and it plays 40 different sounds, from the wolf's cry to human voices.
The robot has been performing so well that Ohta Seiki is planning to put it on the market. However, its price of ￥12, 000 makes it only stay in the show room, not on the farm.
59. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The inventor of scarecrows.
B. Old fashioned scarecrows.
C. Modern robot scarecrows.
D. Scarecrows with technology.
60. What is Super Robot Wolf used for
A. Studying science. B. Playing with kids.
C. Staying in rooms. D. Caring for crops.
61. Which of the following is TRUE about Super Robot Wolf
A. It can speak to humans.
B. It can speak 40 different languages.
C. It looks like a wolf with large eyes and teeth.
D. It can run from one side to the other of a field.
62. Why is Super Robot Wolf still in the show room, not on the farm
A. Because it doesn't work well.
B. Because it can't make farmers happy.
C. Because it's much too expensive.
D. Because it is far from the farm.
C
Is there intelligent life on other planets For years, scientists said “No” or “We don't know”. But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, ”say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies(星系), ” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth. ”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets of the size of Mars or the Earth in other galaxies. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited the Earth “Probably not, ” says Shostak. “It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, maybe we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. ”
63. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of the Earth
B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist
D. The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life
64. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not any smaller planets.
B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them.
D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time.
65. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They are afraid of us.
B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us.
D. They don't know how to use the right tools.
66. What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages. B. Tools.
C. Intelligent beings. D. Signs.
D
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, doctors and teachers may be your answers. It's easy to imagine smart cleaners and robot factory workers, but some jobs really need human thinking and creativity. Nowadays, robots already do a better job than doctors in hospitals in some ways. Could there be a place for robots in education
British expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He believes in 2027 robots will do the main job of passing information and teachers will just help. They can even read students' faces, movements and brain activities. However, it's not a popular idea and it's impossible that robots will really connect with humans like another human can.
But one thing is certain. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get tired or move somewhere for a better job. Perhaps the question is not “Can robots do everything instead of teachers？” but “How can robots help teachers？” If robots could help to save the time teachers spend on students' homework and reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
67. Anthony believes in 2027 ____.
A. robots can do a better job than doctors
B. robots will do the same job as human teachers
C. robots can understand students from their faces
D. robots will move for better jobs like human teachers
68. Why could robots partly solve the problem in Paragraph 3
A. They can teach anywhere.
B. They can get tired easily.
C. They can't waste time on homework.
D. They can do everything like humans.
69. What is the best title for the passage
A. Robot Doctors B. Robot Teachers
C. Abilities of Robots D. Jobs of Robots
E
In our daily life, robots are often found to do work that is too dangerous, boring, difficult, or dirty. And we often see kids play with toy robots.
But what exactly is a robot There are some important characteristics that a robot must have. These characteristics might help you to decide what is and what is not a robot. It will also help you to decide what you will need to build into a machine before it can be considered as a robot. A robot has these important characteristics：
Sensing
First of all, your robot will have to be able to sense the environment around it. Give your robot sensors (传感器)：light sensors(eyes), touch sensors(hands), chemical sensors (the nose), hearing sensors(ears)and taste sensors(the tongue).
Movement
A robot needs to be able to move around its environment. It can move on wheels, walk on legs or be driven by small engines(发动机). A robot can move either the whole body or just parts of it.
Energy
A robot needs to be able to power itself. Some robots might power themselves with sunlight; some might with electricity; while others with the battery(电池). The way your robot gets its energy will depend on what your robot needs to do.
Intelligence
A robot needs some kinds of “smarts”. A programmer is the person who gives the robot its “smarts”. The robot will have to have a certain way to receive the program so that it knows what it is to do.
70. The chemical sensors may help a robot to ____.
A. see B. catch C. hear D. smell
71. In how many ways can a robot power itself according to the passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
72. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To help people understand what a robot is.
B. To show what a robot can do in our life.
C. To describe the movement of a robot.
D. To introduce the history of robots.

Space travel sounds exciting, doesn't it Now if you have enough money, you can go to space to see our earth. You can stay in space for a few days and eat some special food that is for astronauts.
In the future, space travel may be more exciting. People can travel in space and get to other stars. Today, if you want to go to Mars, how long do you think it will take That will be a long trip. Even in the best spaceship, it will take about one year. In the future that will not be a problem. Spaceships can travel very fast. Perhaps we won't use the spaceships at all. We may use the wormhole(虫洞). It's like a gate. Once we pass through the gate, we will arrive at another place far away from the earth. It may take a few minutes. Science develops very fast. We believe that one day in the future, the dream of traveling from one star to another will come true.
73. If we go to space, what can we eat？(不超过5个词)

A
A team of scientists are carrying out a project at the University of Greenwich in London. They are trying to find ways to make food on Mars in the future. The project is called Feeding Mars. It tries to use water, fish and fish waste to grow fruit and vegetables on Mars.
It would take at least 21 months to reach Mars, learn about its surface and return to Earth. So it would be a big help if the spacemen could grow fresh food on Mars itself.
Farming on Mars, however, will be very hard. There's plenty of water that can be taken from ice just below the surface, but the land on Mars is losing the nutrients(养分) that living things need. The team say that they could solve the problem by growing plants and breeding fish in the same place. Fish waste can then be used to provide nutrients for plants.
“It is expected that you can grow lots of plants, such as vegetables, tea plants and medicinal plants on Mars, ” says Dr Benz Kotzen, who leads the project. “You can even harvest (捕获)fish for food then. ”
56. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. The future. B. The project.
C. The land. D. The planet.
57. What makes it difficult to farm on Mars
A. Ice below the surface.
B. Too much fish waste.
C. The lack of living things.
D. The poor land condition.
58. How does Dr Benz Kotzen feel about Feeding Mars
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful.
C. Surprised. D. Funny.
B
For years, farmers have kept birds and other animals away from their crops with old fashioned scarecrows (稻草人). That worked well because those man like scarecrows could easily make the birds fly away. However, those things have been staying there without any technology.
There is a new robot scarecrow now—Super Robot Wolf. It can drive away any animal and it looks terrifying (可怕的) enough to do it.
Ohta Seiki, the company that made the robot, put it on the farm to test if it worked well in keeping animals away from crops. The robot factory made only such one, and some more will be made after the robot is well tested. Looking like a terrible wolf, with terrible large eyes and teeth, the robot has a scary look. When birds get close, the robot works by itself. Its eyes start shining, its head moves from one side to the other, and it plays 40 different sounds, from the wolf's cry to human voices.
The robot has been performing so well that Ohta Seiki is planning to put it on the market. However, its price of ￥12, 000 makes it only stay in the show room, not on the farm.
59. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The inventor of scarecrows.
B. Old fashioned scarecrows.
C. Modern robot scarecrows.
D. Scarecrows with technology.
60. What is Super Robot Wolf used for

C. Staying in rooms. D. Caring for crops.
61. Which of the following is TRUE about Super Robot Wolf
A. It can speak to humans.
B. It can speak 40 different languages.
C. It looks like a wolf with large eyes and teeth.
D. It can run from one side to the other of a field.
62. Why is Super Robot Wolf still in the show room, not on the farm
A. Because it doesn't work well.
B. Because it can't make farmers happy.
C. Because it's much too expensive.
D. Because it is far from the farm.
C
Is there intelligent life on other planets For years, scientists said “No” or “We don't know”. But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, ”say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies(星系), ” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth. ”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets of the size of Mars or the Earth in other galaxies. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited the Earth “Probably not, ” says Shostak. “It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, maybe we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. ”
63. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of the Earth
B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist
D. The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life
64. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not any smaller planets.
B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them.
D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time.
65. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They are afraid of us.
B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us.
D. They don't know how to use the right tools.
66. What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages. B. Tools.
C. Intelligent beings. D. Signs.
D
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, doctors and teachers may be your answers. It's easy to imagine smart cleaners and robot factory workers, but some jobs really need human thinking and creativity. Nowadays, robots already do a better job than doctors in hospitals in some ways. Could there be a place for robots in education
British expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He believes in 2027 robots will do the main job of passing information and teachers will just help. They can even read students' faces, movements and brain activities. However, it's not a popular idea and it's impossible that robots will really connect with humans like another human can.
But one thing is certain. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get tired or move somewhere for a better job. Perhaps the question is not “Can robots do everything instead of teachers？” but “How can robots help teachers？” If robots could help to save the time teachers spend on students' homework and reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
67. Anthony believes in 2027 ____.
A. robots can do a better job than doctors
B. robots will do the same job as human teachers
C. robots can understand students from their faces
D. robots will move for better jobs like human teachers
68. Why could robots partly solve the problem in Paragraph 3
A. They can teach anywhere.
B. They can get tired easily.
C. They can't waste time on homework.
D. They can do everything like humans.
69. What is the best title for the passage
A. Robot Doctors B. Robot Teachers
C. Abilities of Robots D. Jobs of Robots
E
In our daily life, robots are often found to do work that is too dangerous, boring, difficult, or dirty. And we often see kids play with toy robots.
But what exactly is a robot There are some important characteristics that a robot must have. These characteristics might help you to decide what is and what is not a robot. It will also help you to decide what you will need to build into a machine before it can be considered as a robot. A robot has these important characteristics：
Sensing
First of all, your robot will have to be able to sense the environment around it. Give your robot sensors (传感器)：light sensors(eyes), touch sensors(hands), chemical sensors (the nose), hearing sensors(ears)and taste sensors(the tongue).
Movement
A robot needs to be able to move around its environment. It can move on wheels, walk on legs or be driven by small engines(发动机). A robot can move either the whole body or just parts of it.
Energy
A robot needs to be able to power itself. Some robots might power themselves with sunlight; some might with electricity; while others with the battery(电池). The way your robot gets its energy will depend on what your robot needs to do.
Intelligence
A robot needs some kinds of “smarts”. A programmer is the person who gives the robot its “smarts”. The robot will have to have a certain way to receive the program so that it knows what it is to do.
70. The chemical sensors may help a robot to ____.
A. see B. catch C. hear D. smell
71. In how many ways can a robot power itself according to the passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
72. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To help people understand what a robot is.
B. To show what a robot can do in our life.
C. To describe the movement of a robot.
D. To introduce the history of robots.

Space travel sounds exciting, doesn't it Now if you have enough money, you can go to space to see our earth. You can stay in space for a few days and eat some special food that is for astronauts.
In the future, space travel may be more exciting. People can travel in space and get to other stars. Today, if you want to go to Mars, how long do you think it will take That will be a long trip. Even in the best spaceship, it will take about one year. In the future that will not be a problem. Spaceships can travel very fast. Perhaps we won't use the spaceships at all. We may use the wormhole(虫洞). It's like a gate. Once we pass through the gate, we will arrive at another place far away from the earth. It may take a few minutes. Science develops very fast. We believe that one day in the future, the dream of traveling from one star to another will come true.

Besides, when I am busy, it can do shopping for me. Moreover, it can deal with emergencies. For example, if an old man falls ill suddenly, it can call doctors for help.
It would be a great help if I had such a robot. I hope my dream will come true one day.
