Growing up, Chris Hadfield spent every summer at his family's cottage (小屋) on Stag Island in southern Ontario.Like just about everyone else on the island, the Hadfields didn't have a television set, so late in the evening of 20 July 1969, Chris and his family went to a neighbour's cottage to watch the Apollo 11 landing on TV.When he saw Neil Armstrong step onto the surface of the Moon, Chris's life changed forever.He knew he wanted to be an astronaut too.
At the time, it was impossible.For one thing, he wasn't a grown-up yet.For another, all of NASA's astronauts were American.Canadians weren't even allowed to apply for the job.
But Chris decided to start getting ready, just in case things ever changed.He worked hard at school, learning everything he could about science, rockets and space.As a teenager, he learned how to fly gliders (滑翔机), and then, after graduating from military college, he became a fighter pilot.Later, he became a test pilot who helped make military aircraft safer.Twenty-three years after that summer night on Stag Island, Chris's dream came true：the newly formed Canadian Space Agency chose him to be an astronaut.
Since then, he has orbited (围绕……运动) the Earth thousands of times on three separate missions.Most recently, Chris was in Space for nearly five months, from December 2012 to May 2013, when he served as the first Canadian Commander of the International Space Station (ISS)．
Today, Chris travels the world teaching people about space, sharing the beautiful photographs he took and playing the songs he recorded on the space station.On summer nights, he likes to sit on his dock on Stag Island, watching for the ISS to pass by overhead.Even in the darkest dark, on a moonless night, the spaceship's light is clearly visible (看得见的)．

It seems that we are one step closer to finding alien life and maybe a future home for humanity. Scientists from NASA have found a new solar system filled with planets that look like the Earth and could even support life.
The group of seven planets, which orbits a star called Trappist-1, is 39 light years away from the Earth in the Constellation of Aquarius (水瓶座)．And three of them are in the “habitable zone”—the area around a star where water is most likely to be found.This is important because water is necessary for life.
“This is an amazing planetary (行星的) system—not only because we have found so many planets, but because they are all surprisingly similar in size to the Earth”， astronomer Michael Gillon from the University of Liege in Belgium told TheIndependent.
Trappist-1 is a “dwarf star(矮星)” which is colder and shines dimmer than our sun.If a person were on one of the seven planets, everything would look a lot darker than usual.The amount of light heading toward our eyes would be about 200 times less than we get from the sun, according to TheIndependent.
Because of that, Trappist-1, together with many other dwarf stars, was never on the list of places where scientists looked for alien life.But Michael Gillon, lead researcher behind the discovery, decided to give dwarf stars a chance.He built a telescope in Chile to observe 60 of the closest dwarf stars, and it turned out that Trappist-1 was worthy of the effort.
The researchers hope that they can spend more time watching the newly found planets to learn more about them.Even though more research is needed before determining whether these planets could really support life, the discovery is still encouraging.It shows just how many Earth-size planets could be out there.
“The discovery gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not just a matter of if, but when，” NASA scientist Thomas Zurbuchen told TheTelegraph.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国宇航局的科学家发现了一个新的太阳系，里面充满了看起来像地球的行星，甚至可以支持生命。
28．What can be learned about the new solar system from the text？ D
A．It contains a sun and planets like the Earth.
B．There are aliens on the planets.
C．Water can be found on all of the planets.
D．Seven planets move around Trappist-1.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The group of seven planets ... Constellation of Aquarius (水瓶座)．”可知，七颗行星围绕着Trappist-1运行。故选D。
29．Why didn't other scientists observe dwarf stars？ A
A．Trappist-1 and other dwarf stars don't provide as much heat and light as our sun can.
B．Scientists did not find a good place to observe dwarf stars according to the passage.
C．It is impossible to find alien life on the planets of Trappist-1 and other dwarf stars.
D．Scientists have observed dwarf stars, but they failed to find the possibility of survival.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Trappist-1 is a ‘dwarf star (矮星)’which is colder and shines dimmer than our sun.”以及第五段第一句“Because of that ... looked for alien life.”可知， Trappist-1和其他矮星不能像我们的太阳那样提供那么多的光和热，所以其他科学家们没有观察矮星。故选A。
30．What does the underlined word “dimmer” mean？ A
A．Less bright. B．More powerful.
C．Stronger. D．Less beautiful.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“If a person ... according to TheIndependent.(如果一个人在七颗行星中的一颗上，一切都会比平常暗很多。据《独立报》报道，射向我们眼睛的光量比我们从太阳获得的光量少大约200倍。)”可知， Trappist-1比较暗，由此可推知， dimmer意为“昏暗的”。故选A。
31．What is the main idea of this text？ B
A．Scientists have found a second Earth.
B．A new solar system may become home for humans.
C．Scientists are planning to explore another planet.
D．People will move to another Earth soon.
解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段中的“Scientists from NASA ... even support life.(美国宇航局的科学家发现了一个新的太阳系，里面充满了看起来像地球的行星，甚至可以支持生命。)”是文章的中心句。下文对此进行了具体的介绍。因此，文章主要介绍了一个新的可以支持生命的太阳系。故选B。
D
How many things can you see in the night sky A lot！On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of stars.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see.We won't see them with the biggest telescope (望远镜) in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That's because they are invisible (看不见的)．They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die.After all, our Sun is a star.Year after year we see up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light.The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak.But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star's gases burn, they give off light and heat.But when the gases run out, the star stops burning and begins to die.
As the star cools, the outer parts of the star pull in toward the center.The star is squashed (挤压) into a smaller and smaller ball.If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball.If the star was very big, it keeps being squashed inward until it's packed together tighter (更紧的) than anything in the universe.
Imagine if the Earth collapsed until it was the size of a tiny marble (玻璃球)．That's how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed.What pulls the star in toward its center with such power It is the same force that pulls you down when you jump—the force called gravity.A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity absorbs everything—even light.The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes.That's why you see nothing but blackness.
So the next time you look up at the night sky, remember：there's more in the sky than what meets the eye！Scattered (散落) in the silent darkness are black holes—the great mystery of space.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们永远不会看到的隐形的“黑洞”，它们是神秘的死亡恒星。
32．What might happen after a star dies？ A
A．The star might become a black hole.
B．The Earth might be hit by the star.
C．The sky might become much darker.
D．The gravity might totally disappear.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.”可知，恒星死亡后可能会变成一个黑洞。故选A。
33．What causes a star to die？ A
A．Its gases run out.
B．It hits other stars.
C．It gets too hot.
D．Its light fades away.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“As a star's gases burn ... and begins to die.”可知，恒星的气体耗尽时，恒星开始死亡。故选A。
34．What does the underlined word“collapsed”in Paragraph 6 probably mean？ C
A．Rolled. B．Ran.
C．Fell inward. D．Spread out.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第五段内容可知，当恒星冷却时，它的外部部分会向中心靠拢。恒星被压成一个越来越小的球。如果这颗恒星很小，它最终会变成一个寒冷、黑暗的球体。如果恒星非常大，它会不断向内挤压，直到挤得比宇宙中任何东西都要紧。由此可推知，collapse意为“塌缩”，与fall inward “向内倾斜”意思一致。故选C。
35．Why are people unable to see light from a black hole
D
A．Most black holes are too far away.
B．We don't have a powerful enough telescope.
C．Black holes can travel as fast as light.
D．Light can not escape a black hole's gravity.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第六段倒数一、二、三句“A black hole is so ... nothing but blackness.(黑洞是如此的紧密，以至于它的引力会吸收一切——甚至光。黑洞发出的光永远不会回到你的眼睛里。所以你只能看到一片漆黑。)”可推知，人们看不到黑洞发出的光，是因为光无法逃脱黑洞的引力。故选D。

How Is Eating in Space
Different from Eating on Earth
If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well.But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养)． 36.G Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.
37.A If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it.If you've ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn't feel well, you'll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission (task) want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space.Meals must be packaged carefully so they won't spill(洒落溢出)into the cabin(one of the areas inside a spacecraft)．Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. 38.F A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
39.B The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. 40.C Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水)．When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A．Taste is also important.
B．Finally, weight is an important concern.
C．Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D．Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E．Nutrition and practicality (实用) are important things to consider.
F．For the same reason, sharp knives and forks are never used on board.
G．Keeping astronauts' physical health is a top task for any space mission.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍决定宇航员在太空中吃什么以及怎样吃需要考虑的几个因素。
解析：
36. 上文说明了营养是在规划宇航员用餐时需要重点考虑的因素；下文说明了垃圾食品会使得宇航员不健康；G项(保持宇航员的身体健康是任何太空任务的首要任务。)承上启下，且G项中的health与下文的unhealthy相对应。故选G。
37. 设空处为本段主旨句，下文“If the food that has been provided ... avoid eating it.”说明了食物味道的重要性，A项(味道也很重要。)符合语境，且A项中的taste与下文的distasteful相对应。故选A。
38. 本段主旨句“The lack of ... eaten in space.”说明了重力也是宇航员饮食中需要考虑的因素之一；下文“A loose knife ... dangerous.”说明了刀在太空舱到处弹跳是危险的，F项(同样的原因，锋利的刀叉在船上从不使用。)符合语境，F项中的the same reason指的就是The lack of gravity (pull)。故选F。
39. 根据下文“The weight of every ... again.”说明了重量也是宇航员饮食中要考虑的因素，B项(最后，重量是一个重要的问题。)引出下文。故选B。
40. 下文“Most foods are ... it up.”说明了宇航员食物的包装方式，C项(食品包装要尽可能的轻。)引出下文。故选C。

Recently, it has attracted much public attention whether high school students should be required to wear school uniform or not.
参考范文：
Recently, it has attracted much public attention whether high school students should be required to wear school uniform or not.Different people hold different views.
Some people think that wearing school uniform can make students pay more attention to their studies.However, others argue that it deprives students of showing their personalities.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the former.Firstly, school uniforms make students feel proud of their schools.Secondly, school uniforms are cheaper than casual clothes and can save students' money.Besides, students don't have to waste time to think what they should wear every day except weekends.And the most important is that people can see the unity of a school and its good atmosphere.So I think students should wear their school uniforms.

Give Time to Our Family
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.She said，“I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who had lived alone for 19 years after my father's death, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.“What's wrong, are you well？”she asked.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you，” I responded.“Just the two of us.”
She thought about it for a moment, and then said，“I would like that very much.”
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous.When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date.She waited in the door with her coat on.She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and warm.After we sat down, I had to read the menu.Her eyes could only read large print.Halfway through the menu, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.A nostalgic (令人怀念的) smile was on her lips.“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small，”she said.“Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor，” I responded.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation—nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life.As we arrived at her house later, she said，“I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack.It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。

Sometimelater, IreceivedanenvelopewithacopyofarestaurantreceiptfromthesameplacemotherandIhaddined.I recognized my mother's delicate handwriting at the sight of an attached note.It said：“I paid this bill in advance.I wasn't sure that I could be there；but nevertheless, I reserved two seats and paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife.You will never know what that night meant for me.I love you, son.”
Atthatmoment, Iunderstoodtheimportanceofsayingintime：“ILOVEYOU”andgivingourlovedonesthetimethattheydeserve.Nothing in life is more important than your family.Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till“some other time”．People are always busy fulfilling their daily need, neglecting to make memories with their loved ones.As long as we are alive, problems will remain the same.However, it is up to us that we will focus on only problems or live a positive life with our family, making good memories.UNIT 4 学业质量检测

Growing up, Chris Hadfield spent every summer at his family's cottage (小屋) on Stag Island in southern Ontario.Like just about everyone else on the island, the Hadfields didn't have a television set, so late in the evening of 20 July 1969, Chris and his family went to a neighbour's cottage to watch the Apollo 11 landing on TV.When he saw Neil Armstrong step onto the surface of the Moon, Chris's life changed forever.He knew he wanted to be an astronaut too.
At the time, it was impossible.For one thing, he wasn't a grown-up yet.For another, all of NASA's astronauts were American.Canadians weren't even allowed to apply for the job.
But Chris decided to start getting ready, just in case things ever changed.He worked hard at school, learning everything he could about science, rockets and space.As a teenager, he learned how to fly gliders (滑翔机), and then, after graduating from military college, he became a fighter pilot.Later, he became a test pilot who helped make military aircraft safer.Twenty-three years after that summer night on Stag Island, Chris's dream came true：the newly formed Canadian Space Agency chose him to be an astronaut.
Since then, he has orbited (围绕……运动) the Earth thousands of times on three separate missions.Most recently, Chris was in Space for nearly five months, from December 2012 to May 2013, when he served as the first Canadian Commander of the International Space Station (ISS)．
Today, Chris travels the world teaching people about space, sharing the beautiful photographs he took and playing the songs he recorded on the space station.On summer nights, he likes to sit on his dock on Stag Island, watching for the ISS to pass by overhead.Even in the darkest dark, on a moonless night, the spaceship's light is clearly visible (看得见的)．

It seems that we are one step closer to finding alien life and maybe a future home for humanity. Scientists from NASA have found a new solar system filled with planets that look like the Earth and could even support life.
The group of seven planets, which orbits a star called Trappist-1, is 39 light years away from the Earth in the Constellation of Aquarius (水瓶座)．And three of them are in the “habitable zone”—the area around a star where water is most likely to be found.This is important because water is necessary for life.
“This is an amazing planetary (行星的) system—not only because we have found so many planets, but because they are all surprisingly similar in size to the Earth”， astronomer Michael Gillon from the University of Liege in Belgium told TheIndependent.
Trappist-1 is a “dwarf star(矮星)” which is colder and shines dimmer than our sun.If a person were on one of the seven planets, everything would look a lot darker than usual.The amount of light heading toward our eyes would be about 200 times less than we get from the sun, according to TheIndependent.
Because of that, Trappist-1, together with many other dwarf stars, was never on the list of places where scientists looked for alien life.But Michael Gillon, lead researcher behind the discovery, decided to give dwarf stars a chance.He built a telescope in Chile to observe 60 of the closest dwarf stars, and it turned out that Trappist-1 was worthy of the effort.
The researchers hope that they can spend more time watching the newly found planets to learn more about them.Even though more research is needed before determining whether these planets could really support life, the discovery is still encouraging.It shows just how many Earth-size planets could be out there.
“The discovery gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not just a matter of if, but when，” NASA scientist Thomas Zurbuchen told TheTelegraph.

How many things can you see in the night sky A lot！On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of stars.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see.We won't see them with the biggest telescope (望远镜) in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That's because they are invisible (看不见的)．They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die.After all, our Sun is a star.Year after year we see up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light.The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak.But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star's gases burn, they give off light and heat.But when the gases run out, the star stops burning and begins to die.
As the star cools, the outer parts of the star pull in toward the center.The star is squashed (挤压) into a smaller and smaller ball.If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball.If the star was very big, it keeps being squashed inward until it's packed together tighter (更紧的) than anything in the universe.
Imagine if the Earth collapsed until it was the size of a tiny marble (玻璃球)．That's how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed.What pulls the star in toward its center with such power It is the same force that pulls you down when you jump—the force called gravity.A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity absorbs everything—even light.The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes.That's why you see nothing but blackness.
So the next time you look up at the night sky, remember：there's more in the sky than what meets the eye！Scattered (散落) in the silent darkness are black holes—the great mystery of space.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们永远不会看到的隐形的“黑洞”，它们是神秘的死亡恒星。
32．What might happen after a star dies？
A．The star might become a black hole.

C．Fell inward. D．Spread out.
35．Why are people unable to see light from a black hole
A．Most black holes are too far away.
B．We don't have a powerful enough telescope.

How Is Eating in Space
Different from Eating on Earth
If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well.But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养)． 36. Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.
37. If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it.If you've ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn't feel well, you'll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission (task) want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space.Meals must be packaged carefully so they won't spill(洒落溢出)into the cabin(one of the areas inside a spacecraft)．Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. 38. A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
39. The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. 40. Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水)．When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A．Taste is also important.
B．Finally, weight is an important concern.
C．Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D．Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E．Nutrition and practicality (实用) are important things to consider.
F．For the same reason, sharp knives and forks are never used on board.
G．Keeping astronauts' physical health is a top task for any space mission.

Give Time to Our Family
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.She said，“I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who had lived alone for 19 years after my father's death, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.“What's wrong, are you well？”she asked.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you，” I responded.“Just the two of us.”
She thought about it for a moment, and then said，“I would like that very much.”
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous.When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date.She waited in the door with her coat on.She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and warm.After we sat down, I had to read the menu.Her eyes could only read large print.Halfway through the menu, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.A nostalgic (令人怀念的) smile was on her lips.“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small，”she said.“Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor，” I responded.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation—nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life.As we arrived at her house later, she said，“I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack.It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
