To provide information about certain jobs at UNICEF B For centuries, humans have looked up at the night sky and wondered: Are we alone in the universe? Today, thanks to technology, scientists are closer than ever to finding the answer. Space telescopes (望远镜) like the James Webb Space Telescope allow scientists to see planets far beyond our solar system. These planets, called exoplanets, may have the right conditions for life. Some exoplanets have water, mild temperatures, and even atmospheres (大气层 ) similar to Earth's. James Webb can also study the gases in these planets’ atmospheres, helping scientists find facts about possible living conditions. Scientists are very excited about these discoveries because where there is water, there could be life. Robotic spacecraft (太空船) also help explore places that humans cannot yet reach. Rovers like Perseverance on Mars are searching for signs of ancient life. They collect some soil and rock and send data back to Earth. In the future, NASA plans to bring some of these samples back around 2028, allowing scientists to study them more closely on Earth. But space adventure is not just about looking for life. Scientists also dream of humans living on other planets. Mars is the most popular choice. A day on Mars is about 24.6 hours, almost the same as on Earth, but the temperature is much lower. Researchers are studying how people could survive there by growing food, building houses, and protecting themselves from radiation (辐射). Scientists have already started experiments on growing plants, like potatoes, in soil that is similar to soil on Mars. Of course, space travel has many challenges, Traveling to Mars could take six to nine months and the environment isn't very easy to live in. Scientists are working hard to solve these problems designing better spacecraft, developing stronger space suits, and finding ways to make life safer and easier in space. The dream of living beyond Earth may seem far away, but every discovery brings us one step closer. One day, humans might not just visit Mars or other planets they might call them home. Maybe the young people of today will be the first explorers to live among the stars. 49.What makes scientists excited about the discovery of certain exoplanets? A. They have atmospheres similar to Earth's. B. They contain water, which can support life. C. They are located far from our solar system. D. They can be seen through space telescopes. 50. What does the word “samples” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. Soil and rock collected on Mars. B. Photos of Mars taken by spacecraft. C. Signs of ancient life found on Mars. D. Data taken by spacecraft about Mars. 51. What can we learn about planet exploration? A. Growing plants in Mars-like soil has been fully successful. B. Soil on Mars may be brought to Earth by the end of next year. C. Today's young people may be the first people to live on Mars. D. Scientists have already found out whether we are alone in space. 52. Where can we possibly read this passage? A. In a science magazine. B. In a science fiction storybook. C. In a space adventure novel. D. In a travel guide to Mars. C Scientists at Penn State University used an unusual method to track honey bees. By placing tiny OR codes (代码) on 6 the backs of the bees, the researchers can keep track of when the bees leave and return to their hives. The work will help scientists learn more about how bees collect food and how far they travel. They decided to use simple codes called “AprilTags". These codes are easy for cameras to track and decode (解码), even when the lighting isn't good. They are small, and can be glued (粘) onto the back of a bee without causing any harm. By placing a solar-powered camera and a tiny computer above the entrance to a hive, there searchers could track the movements of the each tagged (贴标签的 ) bee. They could tell when each bee left the hive and when it returned. They could also record the temperature. The new system gave the researchers a lot of information about the bees’ movements. They found that most trips outside the hive took between one and four minutes. The scientists think these short trips were used for quick jobs like checking the weather or pooping. Most trips, even longer ones, were shorter than 20 minutes. But about 34% of the bees took trips that lasted longer than two hours. The scientists say this could show that the bees were making longer trips to collect food. The researchers noticed that the bees spent more time out collecting when there were fewer flowers around. But some of these “long trips” could also be mistakes, where the camera didn't catch the bee returning. The scientists were surprised by how long the bees lived. Before the study, scientists thought honey bees lived for about 28 days. But the tagged bees didn't start collecting food until they were roughly two weeks old. And the researchers discovered that the bees continued to collect food for six weeks after that. Scientists know that bees use a special “waggle dance” to communicate with each other about where to collect food. Now the researchers want to see how their new tracking information matches up with these special movements. They plan to teach beekeepers and other scientists how to use their tracking system. 53. What is the main purpose of the study? A. To discover how bees build their hives. B. To stop bees from getting lost during long trips. C. To teach bees how to communicate using OR codes. D. To track bee movements and learn about their behavior. 54. The researchers use AprilTags to track the bees mainly because . A. they last longer than other types of tags B. they help bees communicate with each other C. they are small and easy for cameras to follow D. they cause no harm and can check the weather 55. What is one important finding of the study? A. All bees leave the hive early in the morning. B. Bees fly longer when there are more flowers. C. Bees live longer than scientists once believed. D. Bees don't stop collecting food until 6 weeks old. 56. What makes this study meaningful? A. It shows how temperature possibly affects bee movements. B. It may help scientists better understand the “waggle dance”. C. It proves that bees are likely to use OR codes to communicate. D. It may help beekeepers earn more money from honey sales. D When I think of the summer l was sixteen, many things came into my mind. We had moved just the year before, and sixteen is a time when having friends makes a big difference. l made some friends, but they weren't sure of me yet. l didn't know why. Maybe because I'd lived in town, and my father still worked there instead of farming, like the other fathers did. The boys l knew, even Freddy Gray and J.D., still kept a small distance between us. We had one thing in common though: We were all afraid of Mr. Wills. Mr. Wills was a big man, who had fierce (凶狠 的) eyes. When he looked down at you, you just felt smaller. The idea of facing his direct and immediate anger was enough to worry every one of us. 7 Mr. Wills was the best farmer in the village. My father said he could drive a stick into the ground and grow a tree out of it. Above all, watermelons are what he grows best. Actually, watermelons are strange things. Some men can send for the best watermelon seeds, plant them in the best ground they own, look after them with the greatest care, and they still grow a melon no bigger than their two fists (拳头). But Mr. Wills can throw seeds on the ground, kick dirt over them, leave them be and have a crop of the prettiest, biggest melons one ever saw. Mr. Wills always planted the little field directly behind his barn (谷仓) with watermelons. It ran from the barn to the creek (小溪), a good piece of land with just the right sandy soil for melon growing. And it seemed as though the melons eagerly (热切地) rose out of the ground for him. But they were Mr. Wills’ melons. He didn't have any idea of sharing them with others. He watched over his watermelons more closely than anybody else. If we boys happened to walk close to his melon patch (小块 ), Mr. Wills would be there, watching us fiercely. He would often have his gun under his arm, too. That summer Mr. Wills grew the greatest watermelon ever seen in the country. It grew in the very middle of his patch, three times as big as any melon anybody had ever seen. Men came from miles around to look at it. Mr. Wills wouldn't let them go into the patch. They had to stand around the edge. 57. What is TRUE about me and my friends at sixteen? A. My friends often argued with me over farming skills. B. We were very close and trusted each other completely. C. We had a lot in common and were equally afraid of Mr. Wills. D. My friends were unsure of me because of my different background. 58. Which is NOT mentioned as a reason why Mr. Wills grew the best watermelon? A. His use of the best seeds. C. His great talent for farming. B. His good field with proper soil. D. His careful watch over the patch. 59. What do l think of Mr. Wills? A. Annoying and impatient. B. Smart and sincere. C. Scary but amazing. D. Unkind but modest. 60. Which is the best title of the passage? A. The Secret of Growing Watermelons B. A Lonely Boy's Search for Friendship C. A Summer of an Adventure in the Village D. Mr. Wills and His Incredible Watermelons 卷 II 主观题（满分 50分） V. Vocabulary A. Complete the sentences with proper words. The first letter of each word is given.
