So purple is one of the most popular colors today. But in the past, purple was a very expensive and unusual color. Let's take a look at the rich 75 of the color purple. Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago probably looked purple, not green. Plants today are green because 76 use green chlorophyll (叶绿素) to produce energy. But these early plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple color. During the time of the Roman Empire (37 BC-46 AD). It was very difficult to make purple dye (染料). The dye came from sea snails (海螺). But 10,000 dead sea snails got you just one gram of purple dye...as well as a very bad smell! This 77 purple dye was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred color of emperors. In 16th-century England, purple was78 for the king's family members. Queen Elizabeth's clothes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed to wear the color. In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old 79 student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment. The chemicals he used to clean his instruments mixed with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This discovery allowed Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much 80 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes. 75. A. history B. style C. research D. product 76. A. others B. they C. we D. some 77. A. basic B. harmful C. special D. perfect 78.

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） If you are a fan of sci-fi movies, you may have noticed a pattern, Aliens often look a lot like us. They may have interesting wrinkles (皱纹) on their faces or pointed (尖的) ears, but the basic human shape is more c than not. And when they don't look like us humans, they look like other living things on Earth, such as insects, reptiles (爬行动物)or even octopuses(章鱼). This could just be a result of limited imagination. But scientist Arik Kershenbaum thinks that when we meet with alien life one day, we might see something just like that. Kershenbaum studies animals at the University of Cambridge. He believes that the laws of biology that govern life on Earth also a to alien life. According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution (进化论) animals and plants evolve by natural selection. Only the f ji-te3, survive. The environments on alien planets are likely very different from Earth's Kershenbaum, however, thinks that some version of Darwinian selection would still be at work, It would have limited alien evolution to a certain set of p . As a result, the scientist predicts that alien life will look q , similar to life on Earth. Most aliens will be symmetrical (对称的). They will use legs, flippers (鳍肢) or wings to move. They will create technology and language. And just like humans, they will build spaceships and e space. Kershenbaum is aware that not everyone will accept his arguments. And we are unlikely to test them in our lifetimes. The likelihood of meeting intelligent aliens anytime soon is e low. Until that first encounter (邂逅), researchers like Kershenbaum will be free to use their imaginations. D.
