B Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100.Our own planet,the Earth,is becoming more and more crowded and polluted.It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars.Here is what life there could be like. At present,our spacecrafts are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months.With the development of technology,by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light!However,the spacecraft would travel really fast,so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable.Many people would feel ill. Humans can't live without water,air or food.So far,nobody knows whether there would be enough water or airon Mars for people. Compared with life on the Earth,life on Mars would be better in some ways. Peoplc would have more space.They might livc in houscs with huge comfortable rooms.Also,robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax.There would probably be no schools on Mars.Every student would study at online schools with“e-teachers”. 英语试卷第3页，共8页 Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging(具有挑战性的)..However, it may take hundreds of ycars to make it truc.So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—the Earth!

He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars.“We go much faster,we go in a straight line,we fly onless energy,”he says. 英语试卷第4页，共8页 ③So far,though,flying cars haven't taken off as a product.Will their day come? Thcrc arc still many problcms to solvc.Thcir high pricc mcans most pcoplc won't bc able to afford one.So,some companies are developing them as air taxis that people could pay to ride.The main problem with flying cars is safety.Accidents in the air are dangerous to both the passengers and anyone on the ground beneath.To make eVTOLs safer,many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot required. ④Another problem is space.Most aircraft need long runways to take off and land.Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter solves this problem.But eVTOLs still need special spaces,called vertiports,for take-off and landing.Finding places to put these could be tricky(棘手的),especially in crowded cities.But maybe some could go on top ofbuildings. ⑤What do you think?Would you enjoy riding to school or to visit a friend in a self-flying taxi?Are flying cars a good idea,or should we find other ways to get around in the near future? ( )21.How does the writer lead into the topic? A.By asking questions. B.By giving suggestions. C.By showing opinions. D.By sharing experiences. ( )22.Which of the following are the challenges for the development of flying cars? ①high price ②take-off and landing space ③air traffic jam ④safety A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④ ()23.Why are some companies developing flying cars as air taxis? A.To solve safety problems. B.To make them cheaper. C.To provide rides for people. D.To compete with common cars. ( )24.What is thc possiblc structurc of the passagc? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2,…) 英语试卷第5页，共8页 B. C.②③ ④D.② ( )25.What is probably the best title of the passage? A.Is a Flying Car Your Dream Car? B.Will Future Flying Cars Need Drivers? C.The Exciting World of Electric Taxis D.The History of Air Travel Technologies 第二节阅读还原(共5小题，每小题2分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 ( A.Help save the sharks!

When people catch sharks,they cut offtheir fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. 26 _Without a fin,a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem. 27 _Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years. Environmental protection groups around the world,such as Wild Aid and the WWF,are teaching the public about “finning” . 29 So far,no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health,so why eat them? 英语试卷第6页，共8页 第三节信息匹配(共5题，每小题1.5分) 左边是五个人在生活中遇到的问题，右栏是六个“中国新发明”,请为左栏的每个人选择与 之相匹配的信息。 31 Tom is a student studying in a middle school in Guangzhou.He needs to ride a bike to the subway entrance after school every day. 32 It is raining now.
