My all-time favourite films about space
Apollo 13(1995) When Tom Hanks announces 'Houston,we have a problem',you know you're in for a thrilling journey. This film is adapted(改编)from the true story of the Apollo 13 Mission to the moon. One of the rocket's 0xygen tanks explodes and as a result the three-man crew have to fight against all the difficulties to bring their spaceship home. Of course we know they make it but that doesn't make it any less exciting to watch. It gets a little sentimental at the end,but after what they've been through,they deserve a few tears of joy.
Avatar(2009) When it comes to action-packed blockbusters(大 片),James Cameron's films are masterpieces,and the sci-fi thriller Avatar is no exception.

Cameron's Pandora is breathtaking and the eco-message is a reminder to all of us of how important it is that we take care of our own planet.
WALL-E (2008) Only Disney could produce a film about environmental destruction that manages to be light-hearted and fun. When the film starts,the Earth is a mess as a result of mankind's greed and the last humans have escaped in a giant spaceship into outer space. They've left behind an army of robots to clean away the rubbish in the hope that one day humans can return. WALIL-E is one of these robots but his daily routine is interrupted by the arrival of EVE,a robot sent to see what progress has been made,WALL-E falls in love,but will EVE return his love and between them,can they create hope for the human race Of course,this delightful and entertaining animated film is aimed at kids but it can be equally enjoyed by adults.
The Martian(2015) I've saved the best till last. Matt Damon plays astronaut Mark Watney,who is part of a space mission to explore Mars. He gets caught up in a huge storm and the rest o his crew,deciding that he must be dead,return home without him.

A Wonderful World ofP's and J's
Are you more of a‘p’person or aJ'person You might be wondering what I'm talking about. These two labels have their roots in the popular Myers &Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI)test. The test produces a four-letter result. The last letter is either ‘P'for ‘Perceiving’(感知)or 'J'for ‘Judging'. It divides people into two camps ___ 65 ___ how they prefer to organize their outside world.
Many people around me have described me as a classic Judging'type. I am,after all,keen on plans and schedules. For example,I even time my walk from the office to the nearest metro station and keep a record of when trains usually roll in. Onmost days,a train arrives just as I hit the platform,and this brings me a great deal
of ___ 66 ___.
I appreciate those who share my preference for planning,but I've also met many Perceiving'types. Years ago,I went to climb Mount Hua in Shanxi with some friends. As a ‘Judging person,I planned carefully beforehand. I thought about what to do if it rained. What if there were no snacks available and what if my phone and camera ran out quickly I ___ 67 ___ packing my backpack with ten bottles of water,plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and as many as three power banks. On the day of the hike,two of my friends set out,to my surprise, ___68 ___ . Halfway through the journey,they got thirsty and hungry and had to rely on me for food and water “Thanks,mate,you're a lifesaver,'one of them said between bites of my mini-bread
Working and traveling with people of different personality types can be challenging at times. But leaving complaints aside,I have to admit that those with a ‘P'on their MBTI test are not without advantages. They are often more creative and resourceful(善于随机应变的). While I would often ___69 ___ when things don't go according to plan,these people are usually cool as cucumbers. And just imagine a world where everyone fell neatly into either the 'Judging'or ‘Perceiving camp. ___ 70 ___ truly is the spice( 趣味)of life. The mix of different personalities certainly adds to it.
65. A. famous for B. based on C. made up of D. such as
66. A. time B. money C. satisfaction D. sadness
67. A. ended up B. got tired of C. looked forward to D. took up
68. A. kind-hearted B. absent-minded C. empty-handed D. weak-willed
69. A. struggle B. apologize C. arrange D. compete
70. A. Passion B. Fashion C. Variety D. Friendship
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通 顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)
Everybody's Tweeting
With the words "just setting up my tweet',Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey launched a site that would change how we communicate forever. Twitter was originally created as a messaging system for a podcasting website,but it takes on a life of its own as people realize it o ___ 71 ___ them the power to connect with millions of people instantly. But what are we using it for,and just how is Twitter changing the way we do things
Perhaps the greatest effect Twitter has had is on breaking news. Before Twitter,news had to get the a ___72 ___ of a journalist,who then had to make sure the news was accurate and true before finally broadcasting it on the radio or TV. These days a ___73 ___ who happens to be in the right place at the right time with a Twitter account can post news the second it happens. With retweets it can be half around the world in seconds. A perfect example of this was when a`US flight made an emergency landing in the Hudson River in New York City. 'There's a plane in the Hudson. I'm on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy!'is how eyewitness Janis Krums broke the story to the world with this Tweet and a photo of the unusual event.
Ariana Grande down to Can't wait for the
Rita,14
Young people have always loved to follow their pop idols,and Twitter has made it a whole lot easier. Before the Internet,teenagers used to join the fan clubs of their idols and write letters to their heroes. If they were I ___ 74 ___two weeks later they'd get a reply written by the club secretary. Today's teenagers don't need to wait. By following their idols on Twitter they get all the news the minute it happens. They get to hear what they had for breakfast,what they did the night before,what they're thinking as they sit waiting for a plane. They get to hear it d ___75 ___ from their idols themselves
Twitter allows people who think the same way to get t ___ 76 ___ and do something about the things they care about. They can share information,organize campaigns and put p ___ 77 ___ on governments and big businesses to change. It allows people to stand up to things such as cyber bullying,sexism and racism.

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
The Lost World
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Professor George Challenger and his friend LordJohn Roxton,with a reporter and some local guides (one of whom is called Gomez),travel up the Amazon River to find a plain. Challenger claims(声称he has visited the plain before,and that there are prehistoric creatures living there. Also with them is another professor who dislikes Challenger and doesn't believe his claims. The reporter narrates(叙述)the story.
The very next day we did actually make our start upon this remarkable exploration. We found that all our stuff fitted very easily into the two canoes,and we divided our members,six in each,in the interests(利益)of peace,of putting one Professor into each canoe.
At dawn and at sunset the monkeys screamed and the parrots started making their high-pitched noise,but during the hot hours of the day only the loud noise of the insects,like the beat of a distant surf,filled the ear,while nothing moved among the serious views of huge tree-trunks,fading away into the darkness which held us in.
And yet there were signs that even human life itself was not far from us in those mysterious dark corners. On the third day out we were aware of a strange,deep,rhythmic beat in the air,coming and going on-and-off throughout the morning. The two boats were moving within a few yards of each other when first we heard it,and our guides froze,as if they had been turned to bronze,listening very carefully with expressions of terror upon their faces.
‘What is it,then 'I asked.
'Drums,'said Lord John,carelessly,'War drums. I have heard them before. '
‘Yes,sir,war drums,'said Gomez. 'Native people,aggressive,not friendly;they watch us every mile of the way;kill us if they can. '
'How can they watch us 'I asked,staring into the dark Gomez shrugged(耸肩)his broad shoulders.
‘The native people know. They have their own way. They watch us. They talk the drum talk to each other. Kill us if they can.
By the afternoon of that day -my pocket diary shows me that it was Tuesday,August 18h-at least six or seven drums were beating from various points. Sometimes they beat quickly,sometimes slowly,sometimes in obvious question and answer,one far to the east breaking out in a high-pitched beat,and being followed after a pause by a deep roll from the north. There was something incredibly nerve-shaking in that constant noise,which seemed to shape itself into the words:‘We will kill you if we can. We will kill you if we can. ’
That night we tied our canoes with heavy stones for anchors(锚)in the centre of the stream,and made every preparation for a possible attack. Nothing came,however,and with the dawn we pushed upon our way,the drum-beating dying out behind us.
78. The two professors sat in the same canoe,didn't they
79. How many kinds of sound did they hear altogether during their trip
80. How did the guides react and feel when the drums started
81. Why did the speed of the drums change from one moment to another
82. What did the narrator think the drums were saying
83. Why do you think they tied their canoes in the middle of the stream,not at the side

Dear Sir,
I am Li Hua from Grade Nine. I've heard that some exchange students from England will come for a visit next month. I have a plan for this activity.
First, we can teach them Chinese characters and some simple Chinese expressions. This will help them better understand our language and culture.
Second, we can take them to try different kinds of Chinese food, such as dumplings, noodles, and Peking Roast Duck. They can experience the diversity of Chinese cuisine.
Third, we can organize city tours to show them around our city, visiting famous landmarks and historical sites. This will give them a chance to learn about our city's history and development.
Through these activities, the exchange students can have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and enhance the friendship between our schools.

A Wonderful World ofP's and J's
Are you more of a‘p’person or aJ'person You might be wondering what I'm talking about. These two labels have their roots in the popular Myers &Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI)test. The test produces a four-letter result. The last letter is either ‘P'for ‘Perceiving’(感知)or 'J'for ‘Judging'. It divides people into two camps ___ 65 ___ how they prefer to organize their outside world.
Many people around me have described me as a classic Judging'type. I am,after all,keen on plans and schedules. For example,I even time my walk from the office to the nearest metro station and keep a record of when trains usually roll in. Onmost days,a train arrives just as I hit the platform,and this brings me a great deal
of ___ 66 ___.
I appreciate those who share my preference for planning,but I've also met many Perceiving'types. Years ago,I went to climb Mount Hua in Shanxi with some friends. As a ‘Judging person,I planned carefully beforehand. I thought about what to do if it rained. What if there were no snacks available and what if my phone and camera ran out quickly I ___ 67 ___ packing my backpack with ten bottles of water,plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and as many as three power banks. On the day of the hike,two of my friends set out,to my surprise, ___68 ___ . Halfway through the journey,they got thirsty and hungry and had to rely on me for food and water “Thanks,mate,you're a lifesaver,'one of them said between bites of my mini-bread
Working and traveling with people of different personality types can be challenging at times. But leaving complaints aside,I have to admit that those with a ‘P'on their MBTI test are not without advantages. They are often more creative and resourceful(善于随机应变的). While I would often ___69 ___ when things don't go according to plan,these people are usually cool as cucumbers. And just imagine a world where everyone fell neatly into either the 'Judging'or ‘Perceiving camp. ___ 70 ___ truly is the spice( 趣味)of life. The mix of different personalities certainly adds to it.
65. A. famous for B. based on C. made up of D. such as

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
The Lost World
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Professor George Challenger and his friend LordJohn Roxton,with a reporter and some local guides (one of whom is called Gomez),travel up the Amazon River to find a plain. Challenger claims(声称he has visited the plain before,and that there are prehistoric creatures living there. Also with them is another professor who dislikes Challenger and doesn't believe his claims. The reporter narrates(叙述)the story.
The very next day we did actually make our start upon this remarkable exploration. We found that all our stuff fitted very easily into the two canoes,and we divided our members,six in each,in the interests(利益)of peace,of putting one Professor into each canoe.
At dawn and at sunset the monkeys screamed and the parrots started making their high-pitched noise,but during the hot hours of the day only the loud noise of the insects,like the beat of a distant surf,filled the ear,while nothing moved among the serious views of huge tree-trunks,fading away into the darkness which held us in.
And yet there were signs that even human life itself was not far from us in those mysterious dark corners. On the third day out we were aware of a strange,deep,rhythmic beat in the air,coming and going on-and-off throughout the morning. The two boats were moving within a few yards of each other when first we heard it,and our guides froze,as if they had been turned to bronze,listening very carefully with expressions of terror upon their faces.
‘What is it,then 'I asked.
'Drums,'said Lord John,carelessly,'War drums. I have heard them before. '
‘Yes,sir,war drums,'said Gomez. 'Native people,aggressive,not friendly;they watch us every mile of the way;kill us if they can. '
'How can they watch us 'I asked,staring into the dark Gomez shrugged(耸肩)his broad shoulders.
‘The native people know. They have their own way. They watch us. They talk the drum talk to each other. Kill us if they can.
By the afternoon of that day -my pocket diary shows me that it was Tuesday,August 18h-at least six or seven drums were beating from various points. Sometimes they beat quickly,sometimes slowly,sometimes in obvious question and answer,one far to the east breaking out in a high-pitched beat,and being followed after a pause by a deep roll from the north. There was something incredibly nerve-shaking in that constant noise,which seemed to shape itself into the words:‘We will kill you if we can. We will kill you if we can. ’
That night we tied our canoes with heavy stones for anchors(锚)in the centre of the stream,and made every preparation for a possible attack. Nothing came,however,and with the dawn we pushed upon our way,the drum-beating dying out behind us.
78. The two professors sat in the same canoe,didn't they
79. How many kinds of sound did they hear altogether during their trip
80. How did the guides react and feel when the drums started
81. Why did the speed of the drums change from one moment to another
82. What did the narrator think the drums were saying
83. Why do you think they tied their canoes in the middle of the stream,not at the side

Dear Sir,
I am Li Hua from Grade Nine. I've heard that some exchange students from England will come for a visit next month. I have a plan for this activity.
First, we can teach them Chinese characters and some simple Chinese expressions. This will help them better understand our language and culture.
Second, we can take them to try different kinds of Chinese food, such as dumplings, noodles, and Peking Roast Duck. They can experience the diversity of Chinese cuisine.
Third, we can organize city tours to show them around our city, visiting famous landmarks and historical sites. This will give them a chance to learn about our city's history and development.
Through these activities, the exchange students can have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and enhance the friendship between our schools.
