So whether your garden is big or small, you can definitely find fences that will match nicely and add a touch of charm to your garden. 【答案】47. (o)utside 48. (s)ounds 49. (h)urt 50. (r)ight 51. (h)eight 52. (b)righter 53. (d)ream 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了园艺的魅力及其注意事项。 【47题详解】 句意：它就像你房子外面的一个小小的天堂。根据常识可知，花园在房子外面，结合首字母提示可知，应用介词outside。故填(o)utside。 【48题详解】 句意：你能感受到阳光照在皮肤上的温暖，你能闻到植物的芳香，你也能聆听大自然轻柔的声音。根据横线前面的“listen”一词和首字母提示可知，听的是大自然的声音，又因花园里有很多植物，应用名词sound的复数形式sounds。故填(s)ounds。 【49题详解】 句意：也许你被园艺工具弄伤了手指，或者被石头绊倒了。根据“Injuries can happen sometimes.”可知园艺工作有时会带来伤害，hurt“伤害”，原句是一般现在时，主语是you，谓语动词用原形。故填(h)urt。 【50题详解】 句意：记得花点时间仔细种植它们，并给它们适量的水和光照。结合“plant them carefully”和横线后面的“amount”可知载花或种蔬菜须十分细心，要适量浇水和给于光照，因此用形容词“right合适的”。故填(r)ight。 【51题详解】 句意：你需要考虑它们的高度和颜色，以及它们需要多少光照。根据“you might put taller plants at the back and shorter plants at the front.”可知所种植物有高有低，因此用名词“height高度”。故填(h)eight。 【52题详解】 句意：或者，你可以把颜色相似的植物放在一起，让它们看起来更整洁、更明亮。横线前为并列连词“and”，其前是形容词tidy的比较级“tidier”，再根据实际情况和首字母可知此处指“更明亮的”。故填(b)righter。 【53题详解】 句意：整洁的花园是一些园艺爱好者的梦想。根据“More difficultly, it’s also about the layout of the garden.”和“It makes the garden look well-organized.”可知，园艺工作并不只是将各种植物种在土里那样简单，而是布局设计的难事，于是使花园看起井然有序是园艺爱好者的梦想，因此用名词“dream梦想”，a后跟名词单数。故填(d)ream。 C. Read the passage and answer the following questions. (7分） 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 A group of scientists discovered a gas called phosphine (磷化氢) on Venus. That means there may be living things on the planet, which made many people start to imagine the talk between aliens and humans. A reporter from Washington Post wrote a letter to people of Earth on behalf of (代表) the citizens on Venus. Attention, People of 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 have a polite request: Please stay away. We’re serious. No spacecrafts to Venus, no tasks, no visits. If we wake up one morning and see so many of you people wandering around in spacesuits, we’re going to be really upset. We don’t want to be impolite. It’s just that we’re shocked by what you’ve got going on down there. Earth looks like a mess. You’ve got health problems, environmental pollution, traffic jams, political fights, etc. No wonder so many of you want to leave Earth for another planet. We know you’d like it here. That’s what frightens us. You’d all move to Venus at once. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians (火星人) and Jupiterians (木星人) are going to come, too. But we can’t handle so much. Venus is not Earth 2. We suggest that you stay away from us because ________________________________. God bless you! Sincerely, Venusians 54.

What do the Venusians ask Earth people to do? ______________________________________________ 56.

Why do Earth people want to leave for another planet? ______________________________________________ 58. Who actually wrote the letter? ______________________________________________ 59. What can be filled in the blanks? We suggest that you stay away from us because ________________________________. (at least two reasons) 【答案】54. Yes, it does. 55. They ask them to stay away from Venus.  56. They will feel upset.  57. Because the Earth looks like a mess./Because there are many problems on the Earth.  58. A reporter from Washington Post. 59. we don’t want to face the same problems as the Earth and Venus can’t handle so many people. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位记者代表金星人写了一封信给地球人，地球上的人们或许因为健康，环境污染，交通等因素想搬到金星上生活，但这样很快火星人和木星人也会搬过去，金星无法承载这么多，所以警告地球上的人们不要去打扰金星人的生活。 【54题详解】 根据“A group of scientists discovered a gas called phosphine (磷化氢) on Venus. That means there may be living things on the planet, which made many people start to imagine the talk between aliens and humans.”可知，科学家在金星上发现了一种名为磷化氢的气体。这意味着金星上可能有生物，因此回答是肯定的。故填Yes, it does. 【55题详解】 根据“However, we have a polite request: Please stay away”，可知，金星人要求地球人们远离金星，故填They ask them to stay away from Venus. 【56题详解】 根据“If we wake up one morning and see so many of you people wandering around in spacesuits, we’re going to be really upset.”，可知，金星人看到这么多地球人在金星上，他们会感到很不安。故填They will feel upset. 【57题详解】 根据“Earth looks like a mess. You’ve got health problems, environmental pollution, traffic jams, political fights, etc. No wonder so many of you want to leave Earth for another planet. ”可知，因为地球看起来一团糟，地球人会遇到许多问题，所以他们想离开地球。故填Because the Earth looks like a mess./Because there are many problems on the Earth. 【58题详解】 根据“A reporter from Washington Post wrote a letter to people of Earth on behalf of (代表) the citizens on Venus”，可知，这是《华盛顿邮报》的一名记者代表金星上的公民给地球人写的一封信，故填A reporter from Washington Post. 【59题详解】 根据“We know you’d like it here. That’s what frightens us. You’d all move to Venus at once. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians (火星人) and Jupiterians (木星人) are going to come, too. But we can’t handle so much. Venus is not Earth 2.”及上文的介绍可知，金星人不想面临和地球同样的问题，而且金星也无法容纳如此多的人。故填we don’t want to face the same problems as the Earth and Venus can’t handle so many people. VII.
