The first part of a new science-fiction series(系列剧)was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft(宇宙飞船)which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we’ll find other life forms in our galaxy(星系). Second, we won’t fight with these aliens. And third, we’ll have great tools which will make amazing things possible.
Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is a lot of fun. For example, we will be able to talk to each other with hand-held ‘communicators’. And we will be able to have conversations with people who are on different planets, on a huge TV screen. You don’t have to use a pen and paper because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest machine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different place in a second!
The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company(公司)will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!
11. What is Star Trek
A. A popular song. B. A TV play. C. A spacecraft. D. An alien.
12. What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean
A. Lucky and happy. B. Hopeful and confident.
C. Helpful and creative. D. Thankful and popular.
13. What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek
A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.
B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.
C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.
D. Our life in the future might be different with the help of aliens.
14. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Aliens on Other Planets. B. The Idea of Human Life.
C. A Science Fiction. D. A New Series about Future.
IV. 书面表达。

答案与解析:
Ⅰ. 单项选择。
1.C。called...为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰前面的名词a book。
2.C。something用于肯定句,形容词与不定代词连用时,形容词应放在不定代词的后面。

3.A。句意:对我们来说,学好英语是很必要的。本题考查句子结构It is +形容词+for sb + to do sth 意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”。其中it 是形式主语,动词不定式是真正的主语。故选A。

IV. 书面表达。
I think an alien must be an ugly creature with a big round head and no expressions on its face.It may have two big blue eyes and three legs which are long,strong and powerful.
They can often fly to the earth by UFO.They can do a lot of things that people on the earth can’t do.For example,they can fly faster and carry so heavy things that we can’t do.I think they’re good at maths and many kinds of languages.They’re much cleverer than human beings.
If I had a chance to meet them,I would ask them to help me solve the following questions:
1.How can I become the cleverest person in the world
2.How can I become a rich man like Bill Gates
3.How can I feel happy all day
