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 spacecraft 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 air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be in the form of pills (药片) and would not be so tasty. 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. 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. The underlined word “spacecraft” means ________. A. plane B. spaceships C. space stations D. hot-air balloons 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 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了未来在火星上的生活。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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.”可知是因为我们自己的星球，地球，正变得越来越拥挤和污染。故选C。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months.”可知我们的航天器速度太慢，无法将大量乘客运送到火星。因此spacecraft意思是“spaceships”，故选B。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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.”可知到2100年，前往火星，速度很快，但很不舒服。故选D。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging.”可知作者认为，生活在火星上将充满挑战。故选C。 【20题详解】 最佳标题题。本文介绍了未来在火星上的生活。故选A。 C Welcome to learn English in Los Angeles!

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. The first secret to happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we can’t enjoy the present (现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people like going dancing or playing sports because people can forget about their problems. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 41.

A poem B. diary C. poster D. report 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 spacecraft 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 air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be in the form of pills (药片) and would not be so tasty. 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. 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. The underlined word “spacecraft” means ________. A. plane B. spaceships C. space stations D. hot-air balloons 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.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. The first secret to happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we can’t enjoy the present (现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people like going dancing or playing sports because people can forget about their problems. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 41.
