二、完形填空(10分)
Have you ever imagined life in 2100? A recent science fiction novel describes a world where technology has changed everything.
In 2100, most people start their day with a “smart breakfast”. It’s not just food—each meal is 11 to match your health needs. A small device in your home checks your body and 12 the best menu for you. If you’re tired, it might give you food with more energy; if you need to lose weight, it will suggest low-fat dishes.
Transportation is another big change. Cars no longer run on oil. Instead, they use clean energy and can fly. Yes, fly! They’re called “sky cars” and can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in 30 minutes. There are no traffic jams because computers control the 13 of all cars.
Schools are different too. Students don’t need to 14 books or pens. They wear special glasses that show virtual textbooks. Teachers are sometimes robots, but they’re very friendly. They can tell stories and even joke with students. If you don’t understand a lesson, the robot teacher will 15 it again in a fun way.
One of the most exciting things is “time tourism”. People can take short trips to the past or future, but there are 16 . You can’t change history or take things back with you. Many people visit the past to see famous events, like the building of the Great Wall. Others go to the future to 17 what their lives will be like.
However, not everyone is 18 about the future. Some people worry that technology will make us too lazy. They say we might forget how to do simple things, like cooking or writing by hand. Others are afraid that robots will become too powerful and 19 humans.
But most experts believe we can 20 these problems. They say the key is to use technology wisely. We should let it help us, not control us.
In the end, the future is what we make it. If we work together and plan carefully, life in 2100 could be amazing.

三、阅读理解(50分)
第一节、阅读选择(30分)
A
Miles and his dad were camping in the mountains. It was a warm, clear night. They lay outside, looking up at the sea of stars.
Miles was watching a round object with bright green lights when suddenly it changed direction. It seemed to be leaving the sky and moving right toward them!
“Look at that,” his dad said.
“I’m looking,” said Miles.
As they watched, the object sank behind the nearest hill.
Without another word, both of them left their sleeping bags and climbed the hill. When they reached the top, they looked down the other side. They saw a spaceship, its green lights still glowing.
Soon a hatch (舱口) opened. Two aliens came out!
“What’s that…” breathed Miles's dad.
“What should we do?” Miles whispered.
“I’ll go talk to them,” said his dad. “You stay here.”
One alien was tall and one was short. Miles’s dad held out his right hand and walked toward the tall one. Before he got close, though, the short alien pulled out something like a stick and zapped him.
Miles watched in shock as his dad fell to the ground. The tall alien walked to Miles’s dad and poked (用手指戳) at him with happy curiosity. Then, although Miles hid in the shadows, the short alien walked straight toward him. It spoke in his head.
“Earthling (地球人), your child will soon get better.” It turned back and pointed to Miles’s dad, who was already sitting up and looking around.
“When it does,” the short alien continued, “you will be good to control your child. I will also control mine.”
It pointed again, this time at the tall alien. “They can play together while you and I discuss important matters.”
21. What’s the correct order of the following events?
①Miles and his dad climbed to the top of the hill.
②Two aliens appeared.
③A round object landed.
④Miles and his dad discussed what to do.
A. ①③②④ B. ①③④② C. ③④①② D. ③①②④
22. What does the underlined word “zapped” mean?
A. hit B. guided C. warned D. greeted
23. Why did the short alien choose to discuss important matters with Miles?
A. Because Miles’s dad couldn’t understand him.
B. Because he thought Miles was the adult.
C. Because he wanted Miles’s dad to play with his child.
D. Because he didn’t like Miles’s dad at all.
24. What does the author want to tell us?
A. Too much curiosity can bring trouble to you.
B. Nothing is more important than family.
C. Things aren’t always what they seem.
D. Making friends with aliens can be fun.
【答案】 21. D 22. A 23. B 24. C
【解析】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了Miles和他的爸爸在山里露营时,发现一个带有绿灯的圆形物体,随后跟随物体找到宇宙飞船并遇到外星人的奇妙经历。
21. 细节理解题。通读全文,梳理事件顺序:首先Miles和爸爸看到一个圆形物体改变方向并落在最近的小山后面(③一个圆形物体着陆);接着他们离开睡袋爬上小山顶部(①Miles和他的爸爸爬上山顶);然后他们看到宇宙飞船,舱口打开后两个外星人出现(②两个外星人出现);最后看到外星人后,Miles和爸爸小声讨论该做什么(④Miles和他的爸爸讨论该做什么)。因此正确顺序是③①②④。故选D。
22. 词句猜测题。根据“Miles watched in shock as his dad fell to the ground.”可知,爸爸被这个像棍子一样的东西击中后倒在了地上,结合语境可推测“zapped”意为“击中”。A选项hit(击打)符合题意。故选A。
23. 细节理解题。根据外星人所说的“you will be good to control your child. I will also control mine.”以及“They can play together while you and I discuss important matters.”,可知短外星人选择和Miles讨论重要事情,是因为他误以为Miles是成年人。故选B。
24. 主旨大意题。通读全文,Miles和爸爸一开始看到圆形物体时可能感到害怕,看到外星人电击爸爸时更是震惊,但后来发现外星人并没有恶意,只是存在误解(误将Miles当作成年人),由此可推断作者想告诉我们“事情并不总是像看上去的那样”。故选C。
B
In March 2026, Tencent officially announced that The Three-Body Problem 2 would start filming within the year. The exciting news has once more drawn the world’s attention to Liu Cixin’s famous Chinese science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem. The book shares creative and exciting ideas about space, time and the universe, making readers wonder whether time travel can be real one day. Many ideas in the book, like space shortcuts and the intelligent particle (质子), actually come from real physics.
First, let’s talk about space shortcuts. According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, a wormhole is a special shortcut through space-time. It has two openings like mouths and a narrow bridge in the middle like a throat (喉咙). For a wormhole to stay open, scientists believe we need negative energy, a force that works against gravity and stops the throat from closing. A very large amount of energy can also make space-time turn, creating a possible path for space-time shortcuts.
Second, let’s look at the intelligent particle. In the book, this tiny particle can do amazing things. It is related to an important idea in physics named quantum tunneling (量子隧穿). It allows very small particles to pass through hard objects directly, instead of going around or over them. Scientists have studied this idea for many years and have proved it in tests. This has also encouraged them to explore more possibilities in modern physics. For example, in 2018, scientists from Australia and Switzerland created a real flux capacitor (通量电容器) using superconductors. This machine could control the way of waves by moving energy in a cycle. Yet, it could not help people travel through time. Some scientists also believe that there might be a tiny particle that can move faster than light, but no one has found it yet.
From storybooks to real studies, people keep learning about the secrets of the universe. Though time travel is still not possible today, the ideas in The Three-Body Problem make people want to know more about the secret world of science.
25. Why does the writer mention The Three-Body Problem at the beginning?
A. To introduce the writer of a popular novel.
B. To show the importance of Chinese culture.
C. To lead in the topic of time and real physics.
D. To explain how to write great science fiction.
26. Which picture correctly shows the structure of a wormhole?
A. B. C. D.
27. What is TRUE of the flux capacitor made in 2018?
A. It was invented by scientists from China.
B. It could control the way of waves in a cycle.
C. It was the first real time machine in the world.
D. It could help humans travel through time freely.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The writer explains how to make real time machines with the help of new technology.
B. The Three-Body Problem is the most popular Chinese science fiction novel in the world.
C. Scientists have discovered many new ways to travel through time and space in recent years.
D. The ideas about time and space in The Three-Body Problem are connected with real physics.
【答案】25. C 26. A 27. B 28. D
【解析】本文介绍的是《三体》中关于时间和空间的想法与现实物理学是相关联的。
25. 文章开篇提到《三体2》即将开拍这一消息,引出了刘慈欣的著名科幻小说《三体》,接着围绕书中关于空间、时间和宇宙的创意想法展开,如空间捷径和智子等与现实物理学的关联等内容,所以作者在开头提及《三体》是为了引入时间和现实物理学这一话题。
26. 根据第二段“ According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, a wormhole is a special shortcut through space-time. It has two openings like mouths and a narrow bridge in the middle like a throat (喉咙).”可知,虫洞是时空的特殊捷径,有两个像嘴巴一样的开口,中间有像喉咙一样的狭窄桥梁。
27. 根据第四段“For example, in 2018, scientists from Australia and Switzerland created a real flux capacitor (通量电容器) using superconductors. This machine could control the way of waves by moving energy in a cycle.”可知,2018年澳大利亚和瑞士的科学家制造的通量电容器可以在一个循环中通过移动能量来控制波的方式。
28. 文章开篇由《三体》引出话题,接着分别介绍了书中空间捷径(虫洞)以及智子等概念与现实物理学的联系,最后总结虽然时间旅行目前还不可能,但《三体》中的想法让人们想更多地了解科学的神秘世界,所以文章主要讲的是《三体》中关于时间和空间的想法与现实物理学是相关联的。
C
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book about a trip to the Moon. When the explorers(探索者) landed on the Moon, they found that the Moon was full of underground cities. They showed their surprise to the “Moon people”. The “Moon people” also showed their surprise. “Why are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?” They asked.
H. G. Wells could only think of traveling to the Moon. In 1969,human beings did Land on the Moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the Moon. However, the question that “why are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?” is still an interesting one. More and more scientists are thinking about it.
Underground systems(系统) are already here with us. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, people can find large underground shopping areas. Tunnels(隧道),like the one called Chunnel between England and France, is now in use.
But what about underground cities? A Japanese company is building a kind of underground city, called “Alice Cities”. The builders are thinking about using outer space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices and so on.
Some people say that building down under the ground but not building up in the outer space is a good way to use the Earth’s space. We may use outer space for farms, parks and gardens in the future. H.G. Wells’s “Moon people” would agree. Would you?
29. The “Moon people” were surprised because ________.
A. the explorers knew about the outer space a lot. B. the explorers were new to them.
C. the explorers didn’t use inner space on Earth. D. the explorers could travel to outer space.
30. What kind of underground systems do we have now?
A. Tunnels,offices and gardens. B. Car parks,shopping areas and tunnels.
C. Car parks,farms and gardens. D. Flats,gardens and shopping areas.
31. Why do people want to build down under the ground?Because they probably________.
A. don’t like living in outer space. B. like to make use of the Earth’s space.
C. can have more underground shopping parks. D. want to find out what is in the inner space.
32. The writer wrote the article to talk about ________.
A. a book about a trip to the Moon. B. the way to explore outer space.
C. an idea of building down on Earth. D. the underground cities on the Moon.
【答案】29. C 30. B 31. B 32. C

D
It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits(潜水服)that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.
(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea)

Science fiction is a popular kind of writing. Many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction.
He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer (律师). 36 At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories, such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865).
In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. 37 As a result, they were very popular. Verne’s writing included many predictions for the 20th century and many of them came true. 38 These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.
39 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. 40 The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time!
A. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne’s books.
B. But when he was about twenty years old, Verne decided to become a writer.
C. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories.
D. Jules Verne’s books have been the subjects for many movies.
E. Jules Verne has been one of the most famous writers in the world.
F. He described space flights, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared.

Margie was eleven years old, and she hated school more than ever. Every weekday, she sat alone in her bedroom, facing her AI teacher. The screen lit up at exactly nine o’clock.
“Today’s lesson: Math,” the machine said in a flat voice.
Margie sighed and pressed the start button. Later that afternoon, Tommy rushed into her room, holding something in his hands.
“Look! I’ve found something!” He said excitedly.
Margie stared at it. “What is it?”
“A real book,” Tommy replied. “It belonged to my grandfather.”
Margie turned the pages slowly. “The words don’t move,” she said in surprise. “That’s strange.”
“They had schools long ago,” Tommy said. “Kids learned together in a building. A human teacher taught them.”
Margie laughed. “A man can’t know as much as a machine.”
“Maybe,” Tommy said. “But it sounds fun.”
Just then, Margie’s mother appeared at the door. “School time,” she said gently.
Margie looked at the book again. “Mother,” she asked, “why do I have to study alone?”
“That’s just the way it is,” her mother replied. “The machine knows exactly what you need.”
“__________________________________________________” Margie said.
Margie walked towards her AI teacher. As the screen lit up, Margie wondered whether the old schools were better than her own.
(Adapted from The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov)
51. Where did Margie usually have her lessons?
52. What did Tommy find in his house?
53. Why did Margie feel strange when she saw the words didn’t move on the book?
54. How did Tommy think about the “old” school?

Because she was used to electronic texts on screens./Because the real books were unfamiliar to her. 54. He thought it was fun. 55. No, she didn’t. “Mom, I know the machine teaches me well, but I really wish I could study with other kids in a real classroom and share ideas together.”
【解析】本文是一篇科幻短文,改编自Isaac Asimov的作品,讲述了Margie在未来独自接受AI教学的生活。
51. 根据“Every weekday, she sat alone in her bedroom, facing her AI teacher.”可知,Margie通常在自己的卧室里上课。故填She had her lessons alone in her bedroom.
52. 根据“‘A real book,’ Tommy replied. ‘It belonged to my grandfather.’”可知,Tommy找到了一本属于他祖父的真正的书。故填He found a real book that belonged to his grandfather.
53. 根据“‘The words don’t move,’ she said in surprise. ‘That’s strange.’”并结合Margie日常使用AI屏幕学习的背景可知,她习惯了屏幕上移动的文字,因此书本上固定不动的文字让她感到奇怪。故填Because she was used to electronic texts on screens./Because the real books were unfamiliar to her.
54. 根据“‘But it sounds fun.’”可知,Tommy认为过去的学校听起来很有趣。故填He thought it was fun.

第三节、语法填空(5分)
Tina woke up at midnight and saw a yellow light in the sky from her window. It suddenly dove towards the ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light.
The next morning, Tina told her brother Tom 56 this. She thought something had landed in the forest near the hills because of the loud noise last night. They decided 57 (explore) after school.
At 6 p.m., they reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, and saw an alien standing next to a spaceship, which 58 (damage) by a crash. Suddenly, another alien discovered them and the aliens made a 59 (frighten) noise! The children ran away in fear.
The next morning, Tina and Tom told their parents about the aliens. And Tom drew some lines on a piece of paper. But Dad refused to believe and 60 (ask) them to go to school. Then the children fled together and Dad looked at the paper with the word “EARTH” on it.
【答案】56. about 57. to explore 58. was damaged 59. frightening 60. asked
【解析】本文主要介绍了蒂娜和汤姆发现不明飞行物及外星人的经历。
56. 句意:第二天早上,蒂娜把这件事告诉了她的弟弟汤姆。tell sb. about sth.意思是“告诉某人关于某事”,所以此处填about。
57. 句意:他们决定放学后去探索一番。decide to do sth.表示“决定做某事”,故填to explore。
58. 句意:他们听到一些说着奇怪语言的声音,还看到一个外星人站在一艘宇宙飞船旁边,这艘宇宙飞船因坠毁而受损。此处表示“宇宙飞船被碰撞损坏”,spaceship和damage之间是被动关系,且文章整体是一般过去时,所以用一般过去时的被动语态was damaged。
59. 句意:突然,另一个外星人发现了他们,这些外星人发出了一声可怕的噪音!这里需要一个形容词修饰名词noise,frightening意思是“令人恐惧的”,用来修饰物,符合语境,所以填frightening。
60. 句意:但爸爸拒绝相信,让他们去上学。此句中and连接两个并列的动作,refused是过去式,所以ask也用过去式asked。

Have you ever imagined life in 2100? A recent science fiction novel describes a world where technology has changed everything.
In 2100, most people start their day with a “smart breakfast”. It’s not just food—each meal is 11 to match your health needs. A small device in your home checks your body and 12 the best menu for you. If you’re tired, it might give you food with more energy; if you need to lose weight, it will suggest low-fat dishes.
Transportation is another big change. Cars no longer run on oil. Instead, they use clean energy and can fly. Yes, fly! They’re called “sky cars” and can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in 30 minutes. There are no traffic jams because computers control the 13 of all cars.
Schools are different too. Students don’t need to 14 books or pens. They wear special glasses that show virtual textbooks. Teachers are sometimes robots, but they’re very friendly. They can tell stories and even joke with students. If you don’t understand a lesson, the robot teacher will 15 it again in a fun way.
One of the most exciting things is “time tourism”. People can take short trips to the past or future, but there are 16 . You can’t change history or take things back with you. Many people visit the past to see famous events, like the building of the Great Wall. Others go to the future to 17 what their lives will be like.

Miles and his dad were camping in the mountains. It was a warm, clear night. They lay outside, looking up at the sea of stars.
Miles was watching a round object with bright green lights when suddenly it changed direction. It seemed to be leaving the sky and moving right toward them!
“Look at that,” his dad said.
“I’m looking,” said Miles.
As they watched, the object sank behind the nearest hill.
Without another word, both of them left their sleeping bags and climbed the hill. When they reached the top, they looked down the other side. They saw a spaceship, its green lights still glowing.
Soon a hatch (舱口) opened. Two aliens came out!
“What’s that…” breathed Miles's dad.
“What should we do?” Miles whispered.
“I’ll go talk to them,” said his dad. “You stay here.”
One alien was tall and one was short. Miles’s dad held out his right hand and walked toward the tall one. Before he got close, though, the short alien pulled out something like a stick and zapped him.
Miles watched in shock as his dad fell to the ground. The tall alien walked to Miles’s dad and poked (用手指戳) at him with happy curiosity. Then, although Miles hid in the shadows, the short alien walked straight toward him. It spoke in his head.
“Earthling (地球人), your child will soon get better.” It turned back and pointed to Miles’s dad, who was already sitting up and looking around.
“When it does,” the short alien continued, “you will be good to control your child. I will also control mine.”
It pointed again, this time at the tall alien. “They can play together while you and I discuss important matters.”
21. What’s the correct order of the following events?
①Miles and his dad climbed to the top of the hill.
②Two aliens appeared.
③A round object landed.
④Miles and his dad discussed what to do.
A. ①③②④ B. ①③④② C. ③④①② D. ③①②④
22. What does the underlined word “zapped” mean?
A. hit B. guided C. warned D. greeted
23. Why did the short alien choose to discuss important matters with Miles?
A. Because Miles’s dad couldn’t understand him.
B. Because he thought Miles was the adult.
C. Because he wanted Miles’s dad to play with his child.
D. Because he didn’t like Miles’s dad at all.
24. What does the author want to tell us?
A. Too much curiosity can bring trouble to you.
B. Nothing is more important than family.
C. Things aren’t always what they seem.
D. Making friends with aliens can be fun.

In March 2026, Tencent officially announced that The Three-Body Problem 2 would start filming within the year. The exciting news has once more drawn the world’s attention to Liu Cixin’s famous Chinese science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem. The book shares creative and exciting ideas about space, time and the universe, making readers wonder whether time travel can be real one day. Many ideas in the book, like space shortcuts and the intelligent particle (质子), actually come from real physics.
First, let’s talk about space shortcuts. According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, a wormhole is a special shortcut through space-time. It has two openings like mouths and a narrow bridge in the middle like a throat (喉咙). For a wormhole to stay open, scientists believe we need negative energy, a force that works against gravity and stops the throat from closing. A very large amount of energy can also make space-time turn, creating a possible path for space-time shortcuts.
Second, let’s look at the intelligent particle. In the book, this tiny particle can do amazing things. It is related to an important idea in physics named quantum tunneling (量子隧穿). It allows very small particles to pass through hard objects directly, instead of going around or over them. Scientists have studied this idea for many years and have proved it in tests. This has also encouraged them to explore more possibilities in modern physics. For example, in 2018, scientists from Australia and Switzerland created a real flux capacitor (通量电容器) using superconductors. This machine could control the way of waves by moving energy in a cycle. Yet, it could not help people travel through time. Some scientists also believe that there might be a tiny particle that can move faster than light, but no one has found it yet.
From storybooks to real studies, people keep learning about the secrets of the universe. Though time travel is still not possible today, the ideas in The Three-Body Problem make people want to know more about the secret world of science.
25. Why does the writer mention The Three-Body Problem at the beginning?
A. To introduce the writer of a popular novel.
B. To show the importance of Chinese culture.
C. To lead in the topic of time and real physics.
D. To explain how to write great science fiction.
26. Which picture correctly shows the structure of a wormhole?
A. B. C. D.
27. What is TRUE of the flux capacitor made in 2018?
A. It was invented by scientists from China.
B. It could control the way of waves in a cycle.
C. It was the first real time machine in the world.
D. It could help humans travel through time freely.
28. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The writer explains how to make real time machines with the help of new technology.
B. The Three-Body Problem is the most popular Chinese science fiction novel in the world.
C. Scientists have discovered many new ways to travel through time and space in recent years.
D. The ideas about time and space in The Three-Body Problem are connected with real physics.
C
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book about a trip to the Moon. When the explorers(探索者) landed on the Moon, they found that the Moon was full of underground cities. They showed their surprise to the “Moon people”. The “Moon people” also showed their surprise. “Why are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?” They asked.
H. G. Wells could only think of traveling to the Moon. In 1969,human beings did Land on the Moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the Moon. However, the question that “why are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?” is still an interesting one. More and more scientists are thinking about it.
Underground systems(系统) are already here with us. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, people can find large underground shopping areas. Tunnels(隧道),like the one called Chunnel between England and France, is now in use.
But what about underground cities? A Japanese company is building a kind of underground city, called “Alice Cities”. The builders are thinking about using outer space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices and so on.
Some people say that building down under the ground but not building up in the outer space is a good way to use the Earth’s space. We may use outer space for farms, parks and gardens in the future. H.G. Wells’s “Moon people” would agree. Would you?
29. The “Moon people” were surprised because ________.
A. the explorers knew about the outer space a lot. B. the explorers were new to them.
C. the explorers didn’t use inner space on Earth. D. the explorers could travel to outer space.
30. What kind of underground systems do we have now?
A. Tunnels,offices and gardens. B. Car parks,shopping areas and tunnels.
C. Car parks,farms and gardens. D. Flats,gardens and shopping areas.
31. Why do people want to build down under the ground?Because they probably________.
A. don’t like living in outer space. B. like to make use of the Earth’s space.
C. can have more underground shopping parks. D. want to find out what is in the inner space.
32. The writer wrote the article to talk about ________.
A. a book about a trip to the Moon. B. the way to explore outer space.
C. an idea of building down on Earth. D. the underground cities on the Moon.
D
It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits(潜水服)that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.
(Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea)
