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. People would have more space.They might live in houses 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”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (具有挑战性的).
However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—the Earth!
16. People would move to Mars because ________.
A. flying to Mars would be fun B. plants could grow better there
C. the Earth is crowded and polluted D. they want to challenge themselves
17. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to ________.
A. spacecrafts B. the journey to Mars
C. passengers D. technology
18. What would the flight to Mars be like by the year 2100?
A. Slow and boring. B. Fast and enjoyable.
C. Slow but comfortable. D. Fast but uncomfortable.
19. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People would be busy with work on Mars.
B. There would be enough water and air on Mars for people.
C. The writer thinks living on Mars would be full of challenges.
D. Food on Mars would be more delicious than that on the Earth.
20. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Life on Mars B. Food on Mars
C. Schools on Mars D. Environment on the Earth
C
①That future is almost here. “I think it’s going to happen in ten years… and hopefully much, much faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company Kitty Hawk Corporation was working on developing a flying car known as eVTOL, or Electronic Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicle (车辆).
②Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. Not only is it fun to fly, but “there would never be traffic again, because the sky is very, very large,” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. “We go much faster, we go in a straight line, we fly on less energy,” he says.
③So far, though, flying cars haven’t taken off as a product. Will their day come? There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won’t be 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, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could go on top of buildings.
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 examples.
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 the possible structure of the passage?
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B. C. D.
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
