二、阅读理解
A
① What will our life be like in 50 years? Although we don’t know the answer, we believe that it will be very different from the life today. In the future, I think we will live on Mars. Here is what life will be like there.
② First of all, transport should be much better. Now, our spaceships(宇宙飞船) are too slow to carry lots of people to space—it takes months. However, in the future, it will take us two or three days to get to Mars by spaceship!
③ Life on Mars may allow people to have more free time. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we will have more time for our hobbies.
④ How do we get the food, water and air people need to live? Scientists will be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air we need. However, can these plants give water to us? There is no answer now.
⑤ There are also some problems for us. Mars pulls us much less than the earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To stop this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to put on weight. What’s more, food will look like pills(药片) and will not be as delicious as it is today. Also, space travel may make many people feel ill.
( )16. What will the future spaceship be like?
A. It will be much slower. B. It will become much faster. C. It will be more expensive.
( )17. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?
A. Flying away into space. B. Becoming much heavier. C. Looking more beautiful.
( )18. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?
A. B. C.
( )19. Who may be interested in this passage?
A. Miss Xie, a traveller, who tries to fly around the world.
B. Ms Liang, a reporter, who loves reading history books.
C. Ann, a student, who wants to learn about the future life in space.
B
Do Animals Really Sleep for Winter?
For people who don’t like winter, animals that hibernate(冬眠) seem to have a great idea. But is hibernation the same as sleeping?
Well, in fact, animals that hibernate don’t “sleep” during the winter. Hibernation is very different from what happens when you sleep. During hibernation, metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down greatly. When lemurs(狐猴) hibernate, for example, they slow their heart rates(心率). An active lemur’s heart beats about 200 times a minute. During hibernation, it beats less than eight times a minute. Its breathing(呼吸) slows down too. Hibernating lemurs can go ten minutes without taking a breath. Their brain activity becomes very slow. During sleep, however, animals continue to breathe as usual.
According to scientists, hibernation is a way for animals to save energy. However, animals that live in cold areas are not the only ones to hibernate. Some animals hibernate to keep away from hot weather. For some, hibernation is not because of temperatures. Some animals hibernate when there is no food. Echidnas(针鼹), for example, will hibernate after fires. They won’t go back to usual activities until food grows back. Some animals hibernate to stay safe. Animals don’t smell or move much when they hibernate. This makes it hard for other animals to find them and eat them.
There are many mammals(哺乳动物) that hibernate. Most of them are small-weigh less than 90 grams. Little animals usually lose heat quickly. It is hard for them to stay warm in winter, so they need to save more energy than larger animals do.
We human beings(人类) don’t need hibernation. So, don’t be lazy and lie in bed all day long during the coming winter holiday!
( )20. What do animals do during hibernation according to the passage?
A. They stop breathing.
B. They become much thinner.
C. They slow their brain activity.
( )21. What does the writer show by using the example of echidnas?
A. Hibernation is different from sleeping
B. Hibernation isn’t always caused by temperatures.
C. Metabolism slows down during hibernation.
( )22. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To tell people more about hibernation.
B. To tell why human beings don’t need hibernation.
C. To tell young people how to save energy in winter.
三、任务型阅读
Nowadays many people want to have a more interesting experience when arriving in a new city or country. Here are some better ways to travel, both for you and the environment.
Way 1: Get out of the car and walk. It’s slower but it’s the greenest way to travel. It’s also the most rewarding way to see a city, but remember to wear comfortable shoes. You can walk slowly, enjoy fresh air and beautiful scenery along the way.
Way 2: Riding a bicycle is also a good choice. Many hotels now have free bikes. You don’t need to spend money on it. It is convenient for you to travel around the city. Some hotels also provide electric bikes that make it easier to go up hills and on longer trips. Some cities also have motorbikes, and you can pick up one easily. It’s not free but very cheap.
Way 3: If you have to take transportation in a city, try to take public transportation. Most cities now show lots of information and very clear maps about the public transportation on the city’s website. So find them on the city’s website when you arrive in a city.
Way 4: If possible, take trains or ships to travel from city to city. They are usually greener than private cars.
