Is There Life on Earth?

    There was great excitement on the planet of Venus(金星) this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.

The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago).

Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian

scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer (碟) landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.

“We have come to the conclusion, based on last week’s satellite landing,” Prof. Zog said, “that there is no life on Earth.”

“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.

“For one thing, Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe the air and     survive.”

“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”

“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned.”

“Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?”

“Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering(盘旋) over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We don’t know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”

“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer.”

“Sir, what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?”

“We are not certain. They seem to be metal particles(粒子) that move along certain paths. They emit gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other. There are so many of these paths and so many metal particles that it is impossible to land a flying saucer without its being smashed by one”

“What are those stalagmite(石笋) projections sticking up?”

“They are some of granite formations that give off light at night. Prof. Glom has named them skyscrapers since they seem to be scraping the skies. ”

“If all you say is true, won’t this set back the flying saucer program several years?”

“Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.”

Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?

“Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere.”

12. According to Prof. Zog, the Venusians will have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because                        .

A. they need it on their way to the planet of earth.

B. the earth’s atmosphere is filled with deadly gases.

C. oxygen is far from enough in the area of Manhattan

D. there is no air on the planet of Earth

13. The” dark black cloud” in the 10^th paragraph indicates            .

A. the polluted air hovering over the surface of Earth

B. the mass of tiny drops of water floating above Earth

C. the mass of small things moving through the air

D. the dark clouds gathering before a storm breaks

14. The author wishes to call our attention to the fact that ____.

A. modern man has polluted his environment to such an extent that he may destroy himself if he carries on like this

B. there is no point in spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth

C. pollution has become so serious a problem on Earth that even Venusians find life there unbearable.

D. it is difficult, if not altogether impossible, to land a manned flying saucer on Earth.

15. The tone of this essay is            .

A. hopeless and objective                       B. serious and critical (批评的)

C. humorous and satirical (讽刺的)          D. sensitive and subjective

Last year,two days before Christmas,my friends called,telling me their kitchen caught fire, 41 　(destroy) everything in it. I drove to their house,taking all the food that I had.They were

so happy to see me,but felt　 42 　(embarrass) having nothing to give me in return. 

I went home,very upset.　  43  　(actual),I was also in a hard place financially and unable to do  44   (much) for them.I called a friend of  45   (I) about this, who responded, “These

people mean a lot to you and I want to help them.”  Since he had never met them, he requested 

me  46    (go) to the grocery store,all on him. At the check-out,I noticed him lacking money,so that I had to have some items taken back.

We were walking away    47 　I heard a voice behind me asking the clerk,“How much 

are those things? I decide to pay for them.” I turned around,  48  (thank) the kind man and told  him everything. He explained that he understood as he had lost his job the year before but now was working again.  49  tears in our eyes,all of us went away. It was such 50  wonderful 

feeling to see folks step up when someone needed help, even a total stranger.

After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first train that came along.

After a few minutes I asked in English of course a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he? Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage （车厢） subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.

In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.

All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.

This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into bad luck.

      Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported. Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑来), locking its jaws(下巴)on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.

He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent(费劲心血的) actions”.

When humans and nature go head to head, nature often ends up losing. Rivers get polluted. Trees are knocked down. Natural resources are used up. That’s what makes the Galapagos Islands（加拉帕格斯群岛） so special – it’s one of the few places on the Earth that nature can truly call its own.

A visit to the Galapagos is a real eye-opening experience. Over 1,600 km west of Ecuador（厄瓜多尔）, the islands are home to a unique variety of animals that have absolutely no fear of people. Visitors can play on the beach with sea lions and giant sea turtles, swim with dolphins and whales, and get close enough to the penguins to count the eggs in their nests.

The islands were declared a national park over 40 years ago, and the number of human visitors is tightly limited to avoid damaging the environment or putting stress on the animals. Tourists have to pay $100 for the daily fee, and can’t step off the boat unless accompanied by an official guide. Once on the islands, you have to stay on the special car. The animals are so curious about people that they’ll usually come up to say hello.

“It’s a little like being in a zoo,” said one traveler. “But instead of us looking at the animals, the animals are looking at us.”

Besides the wildlife, one of the islands’ more unusual features is its post office. You can send postcards for free, but the problem is that there’s no postman to collect them. Instead, travelers pick up mail addressed to people who live near them back home and then hand-deliver the postcards when their trip is finished.

21. The Galapagos Islands are _______.

A. terribly polluted        B.  in the Atlantic Ocean

C. near Ecuador            D. independent of Ecuador

22. Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage? _______.

A. Whales     B. Sea lions C. . Dolphins D.  Goats

23. On the Galapagos Islands the mail is delivered by _______.

A. the government      B. the post office     

 C. the tourists           D. the guides

24. What would be the best title for the passage? _______.

A. Human and Nature            B. A Special “Zoo”

C. Go Head to Head       D. Ecuador – An Island Country

25. What is one of the islands’ more unusual features? _______.

A. There are some postmen to collect letters   

B. There are only the wild animals on the islands

C. You need to buy stamps to send letters

D. Travelers deliver the letters by themselves

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other   21   , including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression she’s   22  anything.

Ever since I was born, the love for wildlife and wild places has been in my blood. I live in middle of Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, which means that every day brings me a new and different adventure. I have an incredible backyard and I am able to share it with visitors from around the world.

We are one big family here at the zoo, trying to inspire others to get involved and make a difference to our world. As a family, our heart has always been in wildlife conservation and because of this we have been to the far corners of the earth , to spread the message and make a difference.

Through lots of filming work and talking to many people along the way, we have the opportunity to hopefully influence others to make a difference and throw light on (使......清楚）the fact that all creatures need respect and protection. My mum and dad are truly the original Wildlife Warriors. They have changed many people’s minds all over the world about the conservation of not only the cute creatures, but the modern-day dinosaurs like the crocodile and other reptiles as well.

After my dad passed away, our determination to make a difference to the world and carry on his wishes stayed strong . As a family, we want to make sure that everything he worked so hard for continues. My dad was the first one to come up with the term “Wildlife Warrior”. A Wildlife Warrior is someone who stands up and speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves. A Wildlife Warrior protects our world for the generations to come. Being a Wildlife Warrior is not just a title; it describes who you are and your attitude.

    Recently, educators and parents become concerned about the poor performance of boys in school. The so-called “boy crisis” in education refers    1    both their academic performance and their behavior. In both areas boys’ results are much    2   (bad) than girls’.

    USA data shows that boys rank behind girls in almost all areas of schooling. They earn lower    3   (grade) overall in primary school and high school. They are behind girls in reading and writing, and 30 percent of   4    are in bottom quarter of standardized tests,    5  (compare) with 19 percent of girls. 

    Although the causes of the “boy crisis” are not   6   (full) understood, some experts believed that the same-sex classrooms and schools may help solve the problem. The idea is   7  (remove) some of the distractions(分心) caused by the opposite sex, in order to improve students’ concentration and hopefully their grades. The first Chinese school to experiment with this idea    8   (be) Shanghai No.8 Middle School,    9   began “boys-only” classes in September, 2012. Although it is too early to tell if the reform has made a difference, its supporters argue that the results are    10    ( promise).

This afternoon I was having a PE lesson while I fell down and hurt my foot. I was in greatly pain at that moment, but I tried to act as if nothing has happened until the class was over. Though I had difficulty walk back to my classroom, I still didn’t tell anyone but even refused the offer of help of my classmates. As result, the hurt in my foot became bad. Now I know I am wrong. We can tell others our need for help and accept his help. Some day we can help others in return for. In this way, we can get along to each other happily and peacefully.

   I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.

   I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories (卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food.

   But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight .“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D. , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
