A group of scientists discovered a gas called phosphine on Venus(金星).That means there may be living things on the planet.This made many people start to imagine the talk between aliens and humans.Imagining himself as the life on Venus,a reporter from No.1 Middle School wrote the following letter to people of the Earth on the school newspaper.
Attention, People of the Earth!
Fine.The big secret is out. Many of your finest scientists have discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away—here, on the beautiful planet of Venus.Congratulations! However, we are asking you: Please stay away.
We're serious. We are not interested. No spacecrafts to Venus, no exploring tasks, no visits. If we wake up one morning and find so many of you people walking around in spacesuits, we're going to be really sad.
We don’t want to be impolite. It's just that we're quite surprised and unpleasant by what you've been going on down there. The Earth is in a mess. There are too many cars running on the roads, which creates lots of traffic jams. Many people suffer from serious illnesses. Some people do great damage to the forests and rivers. What's worse, there are even fights between countries, etc. No wonder so many of you want to leave the Earth for another planet.
Leave us alone. Keep right where you are. We know you'd like it here. That's what frightens us. You'd all move to our planet at once. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the other aliens like Martians and Jupiterians are going to come too. But we can't imagine what terrible things will happen to us! Venus is not the Earth. It's not your home. We suggest Earth people ▲ . It is a practical way to save you and your future generations.

SPLASH! I jumped into the pond and dived under the water, towards the hole.
A few weeks before, my parents had fallen ill. The medicine, a magic rose, was hidden under the pond. I'd made up my mind to find it.
When I landed on the secret world, everything was black and white, making the world seem very sad. I saw a large palace. Just then, I heard someone call my name. I turned around, nearly crashing into a creature wearing a dark dress. “How do you know my name ” I asked. But the stranger didn't answer. All it said was “Take this dress and put it on. It will make you invisible. The thing you are looking for is inside the palace.” I had a lot of questions, but I needed to find the rose quickly. I put on the dress so that no one could see me. Then I started walking to the palace.
Inside the palace, it was so dark that I felt like I was blind,and for just a second, I thought I saw a strange light shining from a room. I ran towards it. In the middle of the room, in a box, I found the rose. It was the only colourful thing in this world, so maybe that's why the creatures here loved it so much. I carefully took it out and ran as fast as I could because the alarms rang out all through the palace. Guards ran everywhere trying to catch me but they saw nothing. “Oh no!” I cried as my dress was pulled off. Now they could see me. Suddenly someone caught my shoulders. “Explain your reason for taking the treasured rose,” a deep voice shouted. I turned around and saw a huge creature above me. I told it about my parents. Surprisingly, it said, "You can take the rose but must return it after using it."
I returned home with the rose. My parents got well soon as they smelt the fragrance (香味)from the rose.
When I came back to the black and white world, instead of putting the rose into the box, I planted it in the ground and the whole world became colourful!
I still visit the world sometimes and my parents and I have lived happily ever since.
( )33.What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Heard. B.Unknown. C.Unable to see. D.Unable to be seen.
( )34.Why was everything black and white in the secret world
A.Because I took the rose away from there.
B.Because people there didn't like seeing colours.
C.Because the only colourful thing was kept in the box.
D.Because it was too dark to see colours in the secret world.
( )35.What is the correct order of the following events
a.The rose was returned.
b.My parents were ill at home.
c.I got a special dress from a stranger.
d.I was captured by a powerful creature.
e.I found the secret world under the pond.
A.b-e-c-d-a B.b-e-c-a-d C.e-b-d-c-a D.e-b-c-a-d
( )36.What can we learn from the ending of the story
A.A good medicine tastes bad. B.Roses given, fragrance in hand.
C.Blind men can judge no colours. D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。
A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you will see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why 37 Over time, the human body has changed a lot.
38 That's for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technology, and it is changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.
39 Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow. Our muscles ( 肌 肉 ) will not be as strong as now, because we will not do a lot of physical work. We are already using our feet less, and our hands more (think about computers). 40 At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. And our fingers and our eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together.
What about the mouth It will get smaller, because we needn't talk so much with the help of technology.
A.We don't know what we'll look like.
B. In the future, people will probably be even taller
C. Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter.
D. Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future
E. So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller.

One sunny afternoon, I was playing in the park when a strange object fell from the sky. It was a UFO! I was so shocked that I couldn't move at first.
Slowly, the door of the UFO opened, and an alien stepped out. It was small with big eyes and green skin. I was a little scared but also excited. Gathering my courage, I walked towards it with a smile and said, "Welcome to Earth!" Surprisingly, the alien seemed to understand me and smiled back.I showed it around the park, pointing to the beautiful flowers and tall trees. The alien was very interested and made some strange sounds, maybe trying to tell me about its home planet. I really hoped we could become friends and learn more about each other's worlds.
What an unforgettable experience it was! I will always remember this special encounter with the alien.
