阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The sky is a large place, and though it has been carefully examined for centuries, new features still turn up. Last March it was the rule of Uranus(天王星), and last week astronomers announced what may turn out to be a new planet, though a very small one, in the solar system.
The object was first sighted last month by Charles Kowal, an astronomer at the Hale Observatories in Pasadena, Calif. Mr Kowal observed a faint trail of light on photographic plates, indicating that something was moving in relation to the background of stars. Other observers have confirmed the discovery.
The “mini-planet”, identified for the time being as “Object-Kowal”, appears to be about 1. 5 billion miles away, between the orbit of Saturn and Uranus, and its diameter(直径) has been estimated at between 100 and 400 miles. Its orbit has not been determined yet, but if the orbit proves to be roughly circular, like that of the major planets, the new object would probably take 66 to 70 years to make a circuit of the sun.
Some astronomers have speculated that Mr Kowal’s discovery may be the first indication of an asteroid(小行星) belt beyond Saturn.
1. What may have been found in the solar system according to the first paragraph?
A. A small new planet. 　B. A new solar system.
C. A large new object. D. A large new planet.
2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. What the object is like.
B. How the object was found.
C. Where the astronomers live.
D. Why the object was moving.
3. What magazine might this passage be taken from?
A. Astronomy. B. Industry.
C. Spaceflight. D. Agriculture.
B
A new study suggests that dark markings on the planet Mars represent sand—not water. The research in 2015 suggested that lines on some Martian hills were evidence of water. Yet American scientists now say these lines appear more like dry, flows of sand. If water is present, it is likely to be a small amount. Water in liquid form would be necessary for microbial(微生物的) life.
NASA, the American space agency, said more research is needed. Michael Meyer is the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars exploration programme. He noted that the latest study does not reject the presence of water. But he admitted, “It just may not be as exciting as the idea of rivers going down the sides of cliffs(悬崖). ”
The new findings come from a team led by Colin Dundas of the United States Geological Survey. His team measured 151 of these lines in 10 areas. Most of the lines end with slopes between 28 degrees and 35 degrees. These measurements are similar to active sand dunes(沙丘) on both Mars and Earth. A small covering of dust that moves and sometimes becomes lighter might help explain the markings. They usually appear in the Martian summertime, and then disappear until the next year. If these lines are dry, this suggests that recent Mars has not had large volumes of liquid water. Dundas and his research team say that many questions remain.
“I still think that Mars has a great potential for having had life early on in its history, ” Meyer said. “As long as that’s true, we also have a reasonable possibility of life still being on Mars. It just happens to be cryptic or well hidden. ”
NASA currently has no robotic vehicle—either on Mars or in development—with the ability to climb steep slopes. The lack of such equipment has engineers coming up with ideas like Martian helicopters or planes without pilots.
4. What do American scientists find on Mars now according to their study?
A. A lot of little life. 　　B. An amount of water.
C. Some Martian hills. D. Dark markings are sand.
5. When do the markings come out?
A. In Martian spring. B. In Martian summer.
C. In Martian autumn. D. In Martian winter.
6. What’s Meyer’s opinion about having life on Mars?
A. Doubtful. B. Trustful.
C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
7. What does the underlined word “cryptic” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Undiscovered. B. Strange.
C. Magical. D. Icy.
C
　　The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world?
This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country’s most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea. ?
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi? ” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core (核 心 ) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories. ”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
8. The main purpose of the opening paragraph is to______. ?
A. give a brief account of the film
B. warn people of the coming threat
C. explore ways to avoid the disaster
D. introduce the topic of the passage
9. The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to______. ?
A. fleeing the Earth in spaceships
B. bringing in huge success
C. filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies
D. helping Earth make its escape
10. Which of the following is unlikely to account for the success of the film?
A. The rich imagination of the story.
B. Hollywood-style space stories.
C. The special cultural background.
D. The time chosen to release the film.
11. What is likely to be title for the passage?
A. Chinese Sci-fi Catches Up
B. The Most Successful Chinese Sci-fi
C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path
D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges
D
Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example，the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellites.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites.Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed as the earth rotates (旋转) at.A satellite must orbit the earth with its antennae (天线) facing the earth.Sometimes，it moves away from its orbit.So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty！Every week，more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the earth.A satellite usually works for about 10－12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the earth to be repaired.Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
12．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
A．A satellite.
B．A little rocket.
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
13．Which is true of satellites?
A．A satellite usually works for about 10－12 years.
B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the earth to be repaired.
C．A broken satellite is never left in space.
D．They often crash into each other.
14．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?
A．Sending information for weather forecasts.
B．Taking photographs of the earth.
C．Sending TV pictures.
D．Providing food for airplane pilots.
15．What's the speed the earth rotates at?
A．35,880 kilometers per hour.
B．335,880 kilometers per hour.
C．11,000 kilometers per hour.
D．110,000 kilometers per hour.

For many years, I had a recurring (重复出现的) dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry, you'll be late for school，” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books？”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn't afford tuition (学费). My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn't want her to live her life with regret. I didn't give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That's the answer，”I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I'll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs. Schantz, why don't you come back to school？”
I laughed: “There's no way! I'm 55！”But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment，” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
Paragraph 1：
It was exciting to go to school again but

Recently our class had a heated discussion about whether it is important to protect the cultural heritage. We hold different views on it.
80% of us think it important to protect the cultural heritage. They believe that the cultural heritage is a symbol of splendid ancient civilization which can make us feel proud of our nation. However, the others don’t think so, arguing that protecting the cultural heritage cannot promote the development of society; or rather, it is a waste of time and money.
In my opinion, it’s our duty to take more effective measures to protect our cultural heritage and we can benefit a lot from the cultural and historical inspirations it conveys.
【故事续写】
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging. During the day, I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do. In the evening, I was a hardworking student working on my courses. To my surprise, both Linda and I did very well in night school. I went back again the next semester, and my grades steadily improved.
Paragraph 2：
Linda and I saw each other through the time. When I was down, Linda encouraged me. “Mom, you can't quit now！” And when she was down, I encouraged her. I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us. But neither of us gave up. At last, I got my diploma. To my surprise, almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker, and I got a $3,000 college scholarship. The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.
