The question whether there is life on Mars (火星) has made the public think a lot for more than a century. The closest look showed Mars to be a dusty, cold world, covered by air too thin to breathe. A British spaceship and Europe's Mars spaceship plan to land on Mars or enter orbit (轨道) around it. One of the NASA’s (美国宇航局) spaceships is expected to land on January 3, the other is going to land on the opposite side of Mars on January 24. Since 1960, over twenty spaceships sent to Mars have failed. Most have been lost on flying up or landing because those are the most difficult times of any flights. Scientists wanted to find out whether there was water in Mars. In October, a team of scientists reported that Mars had been a dry wasteland. But weeks later, a second team reported differently that they had found some marks showed clearly that they were made by the rivers. Such marks told us that Mars was a warmer place billions of years ago — just as life first appeared here on Earth. Scientists at once raise a question: if what they said is true, what happened on Mars? Then what about the earth? 1.Which is right about Mars? A．It’s cold without dust. B．There is no water or air. C．It’s warm with some thin air. D．It’s a dusty, cold world almost without air. 2.Two NASA’s spaceships _______________. A．will land on the different sides of Mars B．will land on the same day C．will enter orbit around Mars D．will land with a man 3.The most difficult times of a flight are _______________. A．taking off B．flying up and arriving C．entering the orbit and landing D．leaving the earth and entering the orbit 4.A team of scientists reported that there might be_____________ in Mars. A．nothing but air B．nothing C．water billions of years ago D．thick air and lakes 5.What are scientists worried about when they raise the question? A．Life disappeared on Mars. B．Spaceships can’t land on Mars. C．The air on the earth gets less and less. D．The earth might be changed like Mars

At one time or another we have all stopped to think about the weather. Some days the weather is good. Some days the weather is bad. Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds. No two clouds are ever alike. We can see the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather. To forecast the weather, there are three things about clouds. you should look for: movement, colour, and change. As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. Fair-weather cumulus clouds* are another sign of good weather. These are clouds we often see on warm summer days. Clouds can tell you if a storm is on the way. If the thick, fluffy cumulus clouds get bigger early in the day, then you know it will rain. If there is a sudden, cool and dark thunder* cloud appears, then a storm is about to break out. Colours in the sky tell us about the weather, too. A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near. The rainbow* has a message, too. The colours of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you. 1. According to this article, one way to understand the weather is to . A．study the clouds B．monitor the temperature every hour C．watch the signs of the wind D．note the changes in wet 2. High clouds usually suggest . A．bad weather B．fine weather C．rainy weather D．windy weather 3. The colours of the rainbow come from . A．sun rays shining through falling rain B．dark thunder clouds in the sky C．a golden ring around the moon D．fair-weather cumulus clouds 4. Which of the following would be a good title for this article? A．The Story of Weather Forecast B．Fine Weather and Bad Weather C．Weather Changes D．Different Kinds of Clouds 5.We may say, take the article as a whole knowledge, . A．none of the clouds is the same B．a storm is to come on soon after a sudden, cool and dark thunder cloud C．the higher and cumulus clouds may be signs of warm weather D．all of the above

I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业)company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job —I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma(精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her present high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn’t probe(彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受)my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had —a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need. 1.The author took part in the interview because _______. A．he had lost his job and wanted to find a new one B．he had to support his family in Boston C．his wife had recently died of a heart attack D．his daughter needed money for schooling 2. The underlined word "empathetic “in the second paragraph means _____. A．kind B．easy-going C．smart D．understanding 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．Bruce invited the author to lunch later. B．Bruce shared his life experience with the author. C．Bruce was willing to help the author. D．Bruce finally gave the job to the author. 4. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A．Bruce and the author saw each other often B．the author got little help from Bruce C．the author learned much from the job interview D．the author had a better life afterwards 5. What is the best title for the passage? A．An act of kindness B．A pleasant interview C．The same experience D．An important lesson

任务型阅读(注意：每空1个单词)。 Future and Today It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is ? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well. There is an old English saying: "Gain time, gain life." Then what's time? Time is something that we can't see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say "Time is money", but time is even more precious(珍贵的)than money, because when money is spent , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的). We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow. As we all know , "Time and tide wait for no man." If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter .Remember: "No pains, no gains." Today's hard work is the cause of tomorrow's harvest. Title: Future and Today
