Is living on the planet Mars possible for humans The answer is yes. Some scientists believe people will live on the planet Mars by 2200. Our own planet, Earth, will become more and more crowded and 19 . We won’t have enough space to live and there won’t be any fresh air or water. Good news is that we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, 20 should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2200, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. 21 , will there be enough fresh water for all of us There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves 22 .
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. People will have more 23 . With the development of science and technology, robots will do most of our work, so we can take up our hobbies.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form (形式) of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel 24 . The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

（2022秋·上海徐汇·九年级上海市西南位育中学校考期中）Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)
Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being 25 by some people with an elbow or fist bump (碰手肘或者拳头). In the past, men bowed-bending forward at the body and lowering the head as if to say, “I’m not all that important”. Bowing is elegant (优雅的) and unlike elbow bumps, can totally avoid 26 . So, what do you think Should bowing make a comeback
Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting.
Bowing provides a practical and graceful solution to the problem of how to greet one another in the midst of a pandemic. Bumping elbows might not spread coronavirus but it doesn’t have the elegance of a bow. It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know 27 what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake. A bow is a gesture of humility(谦逊), which is a sign of strength.
The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的). 28 , in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer.
No, it’s 29 to greet people in this way.
Physical touch reduces anxiety, stress and even pain. The pandemic has highlighted(突出) how much people want to hug their friends and family. Can you imagine bowing to a grandmother In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the 30 —such as royalty(皇室) and the rich—were considered more important than those lower down—such as children and the working classes. Society should not go back to a way of doing things that highlights inequality between groups. There are better ways to greet, such as the Southeast Asian way of saying “Namaste(合十礼)”, with palms together, pointing upwards in gratitude.
25．A．changed B．replaced C．exchanged D．turned
26．A．contact B．connection C．relation D．link
27．A．even B．early C．exactly D．especially

29．A．out of hand B．in use C．out of date D．in business
30．A．center B．bottom C．palace D．top
【答案】25．B 26．A 27．C 28．A 29．C 30．D

changed改变；replaced替代；exchanged交换；turned转变。根据前文以及本句“Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being...by some people with an elbow or fist bump...”可知，以前打招呼是拥抱等，现在被“替换成了”碰手肘或者拳头，故选B。
26．句意：不像碰手肘或者拳头，鞠躬是优雅的，能够完全避免接触。
contact接触；connection连接；relation关系；link联结。根据“Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand.”可知，在以前问候方式可以是拥抱等，现在有了流行病，拥抱等打招呼方式正在被其他打招呼方式替代，回到以前的鞠躬方式，就能完全避免“接触”了，故选A。
27．句意：它意味着人们非常明确地知道做什么能不发生拥抱和握手之间发出现的碰撞现象。
even甚至；early早地；exactly确切地；especially尤其。根据“It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know...what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake.”可知，鞠躬能避免不知道如何问候别人的尴尬，能够让人们“确切地”知道不碰撞该怎么做，故选C。
28．句意：除此之外，在这些严肃的时期，鞠躬在维多利亚小说家的小说里能够假装很有趣。
Besides除此之外还；But但是；Instead相反；Still仍然。根据“The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的)...in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer.”可知，在维多利亚时期，鞠躬带来的谦逊让人感到无敌，“除此之外”还能假装很有乐趣，故选A。
29．句意：不，用这种方式问候别人过时了。
out of hand失去控制；in use在使用；out of date过时了；in business在经营中。根据前文以及本句“Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting. No, it’s...to greet people in this way.”可知，前文说鞠躬这种方式的好处，后面表示否定，谈论不好的地方，故选C。
30．句意：在过去的英国，当人们处在高位，比如皇室或者富有的人，鞠躬，是很普遍的，比那些处在低级的小孩或者工人阶级更重要。
center中心；bottom底部；palace宫殿；top顶端。根据语境“ In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the...such as royalty(皇室) and the rich...”可知，皇室和富有的人应该是“高级的”人，处在上层次的人物，故选D。

Next, translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts and gives you a sense of control.
Thinking or talking about an event seems 45 . However, the more you think or talk about it, the more likely you will find yourself in a mess. As a result, you get completely lost in your own emotions and finally lose self-control. Writing works differently as it makes you slow down. The act of labeling a feeling of putting words to an emotion—can ease the neural (神经系统的) activities in the brain.
What if you don’t consider yourself “a writer” Don’t worry about spelling or grammar. Take it easy when you choose the words or expressions. 46 dig into your inner self. The goal of the exercise is to find meaning in an upsetting event.
Many people have tried this method. After his father was rushed to the hospital because of a severe heart attack, 43-year-old Alex began to panic. So he did the one thing that would calm himself: he wrote. He thinks of it as a captain’s life buoy (救生衣). “My expressive writing gave me the 47 I need to face my fear and move on,” Alex says.
There are a few who are against this approach. According to them, expressive writing isn’t a magical solution. People shouldn’t fully trust the effect of expressive writing. Neither should they think of using it to 48 other treatments. People who are faced with a serious mental disaster may not find it useful to do on their own, without medicine.

However, one year it all fell apart through a series of unhappy events. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56.

The locals knew nothing about me, but 51 , they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 52 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a different American Dream—not the one person but the neighbor’s friendship. What I have believed in, all those things I thought were not 53 in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable things were my relationship with my neighbors. Four years later, I moved back into town. I saw many people having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We would all be in 54 if we didn’t stay together. Now the American Dream I believe in is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself: it’s about how we can all get by together.

Three years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that as part of the National School Lunch Program, apples were served to kids.
But many of them 55 in the rubbish bins, some even untouched. Unlike others, they wondered why the kids didn’t want the fruit.
They thought the fact that the apples were being served whole, rather than sliced (切成片的), made the fruit out of favor. And they wanted to 56 this idea.
They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption(消耗) 57 by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a followup study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further 58 it. Both the overall apple consumption and the percentage of students who ate more than half of the apple served to them were more than 70 percent higher at schools that served sliced apples.
Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples did reduce the waste. However, the hardest part is getting kids to 59 eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and 60 the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.
It’s one of those situations where what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.

Emily was a teenager and lived with her parents. She and her best friend, Kim, found out that their favorite band would give a concert in their town on Friday night.

Is living on the planet Mars possible for humans The answer is yes. Some scientists believe people will live on the planet Mars by 2200. Our own planet, Earth, will become more and more crowded and 19 . We won’t have enough space to live and there won’t be any fresh air or water. Good news is that we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, 20 should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2200, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. 21 , will there be enough fresh water for all of us There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves 22 .
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. People will have more 23 . With the development of science and technology, robots will do most of our work, so we can take up our hobbies.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form (形式) of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel 24 . The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being 25 by some people with an elbow or fist bump (碰手肘或者拳头). In the past, men bowed-bending forward at the body and lowering the head as if to say, “I’m not all that important”. Bowing is elegant (优雅的) and unlike elbow bumps, can totally avoid 26 . So, what do you think Should bowing make a comeback
Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting.
Bowing provides a practical and graceful solution to the problem of how to greet one another in the midst of a pandemic. Bumping elbows might not spread coronavirus but it doesn’t have the elegance of a bow. It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know 27 what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake. A bow is a gesture of humility(谦逊), which is a sign of strength.
The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的). 28 , in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer.
No, it’s 29 to greet people in this way.
Physical touch reduces anxiety, stress and even pain. The pandemic has highlighted(突出) how much people want to hug their friends and family. Can you imagine bowing to a grandmother In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the 30 —such as royalty(皇室) and the rich—were considered more important than those lower down—such as children and the working classes. Society should not go back to a way of doing things that highlights inequality between groups. There are better ways to greet, such as the Southeast Asian way of saying “Namaste(合十礼)”, with palms together, pointing upwards in gratitude.

Expressive writing is effective because it allows you to make sense out of an upsetting and even heart-breaking experience.

I 50 some places which I could rent for the cheapest possible amount. I came upon a poor house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was abandoned(被遗弃的), full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and cleared a country to camp in. The locals knew nothing about me, but 51 , they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 52 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a different American Dream—not the one person but the neighbor’s friendship. What I have believed in, all those things I thought were not 53 in this place. Up on the mountain, my most valuable things were my relationship with my neighbors. Four years later, I moved back into town. I saw many people having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We would all be in 54 if we didn’t stay together. Now the American Dream I believe in is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself: it’s about how we can all get by together.

Three years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that as part of the National School Lunch Program, apples were served to kids.
But many of them 55 in the rubbish bins, some even untouched. Unlike others, they wondered why the kids didn’t want the fruit.
They thought the fact that the apples were being served whole, rather than sliced (切成片的), made the fruit out of favor. And they wanted to 56 this idea.
They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption(消耗) 57 by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a followup study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further 58 it. Both the overall apple consumption and the percentage of students who ate more than half of the apple served to them were more than 70 percent higher at schools that served sliced apples.
Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples did reduce the waste. However, the hardest part is getting kids to 59 eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and 60 the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.
It’s one of those situations where what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.
