The ringed planet Saturn has 53 known moons. And another one may be on the way. NASA’s Cassini-Huyens space probe has spotted（发现）a small shape in Saturn’s outermost ring. It suggests the existence of a new moon. The moon has not been directly spotted yet, but scientists have already given it a nickname---Peggy. The probe’s findings were published in the journal Icarus. Casssini has been observing the ringed planet and its surroundings since 2004. Saturn is a big and powerful world. With a diameter of 74, 732 miles, it is 9½ times the size of Earth. It spins very quickly, and take only 11 hours to spin fully on its axis(轴). The planet is located about 885.9 million miles from the sun and has an average temperature of -285 degrees Fahrenheit. Peggy will be joining a large community. Saturn has thousands of rings. The outermost ring, called the A Ring, is the largest and brightest. It measures 750 miles long and 6 miles wide. Saturn’s rings are made up of rock, dust and ice, and are constantly gathering space matter. As this material gathers and clumps together, moons are born. If Peggy is a new moon, it is also a tiny one, measuring only 0.5 miles in diameter. But there is no telling how big this baby will grow over time. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,” said astronomer Carl Murray in a statement . He is the lead author of the Icarus report. “We may be looking at an act of birth, where this object is leaving the rings and heading off to be a moon in its own right.” Once that happens, it will be given a formal name. However, this mini moon may be one of Saturn’s last. The formation of all its moons, new and old, big and small, has used up much of the rings’ raw material. After 4.5 billion years, Saturn may have finally revealed all its babies. 1.Which of the following is TRUE about Saturn? A.It has hundreds of rings. B.It is much bigger than Earth. C.It moves as quickly as Earth. D.Its 53rd known moon is called Peggy. 2.What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph3 refer to? A.Saturn’s biggest moon. B.Saturn’s innermost ring. C.Saturn’s outermost ring. D.Saturn’s new moon Peggy. 3.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that . A.Peggy may disappear soon B.Peggy may grow bigger and bigger C.Peggy will have its own moon soon D.Peggy is the new moon’s formal name 4.According to the last paragraph, . A.Saturn will have more and more moons B.Saturn’s rings will have more and more material C.Saturn’s rings may disappear in 4.5 billion years D.Saturn won’t have too many moons younger than Peggy 5.Which can be the best title for the text? A.Saturn’s baby moon B.The future of Saturn C.Saturn’s beautiful rings D.Interesting facts about Saturn

What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili(辣椒)in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it. Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds, too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported. “We have always assumed that liking drives intake--we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits（特点） with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study. But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster. In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given cups of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes chili burn, mixed into them. By comparing the answers to the questionnaires and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who were most inclined to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water. Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn,” Hayes explained. 1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph? A.dislike B.fear C.put up with D.adapt to 2.What Professor John Hayes said means_________. A.a love of chili is related to childhood experiences B.cultural influences affect our taste buds C.we eat what we like and we like what we eat D.we ignore eating chili is related to our personalities 3.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study? A.What we eat actually helps to develop our personalities. B.Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females. C.Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food. D.People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling. 4.Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study? A.Because their taste buds have become less sensitive. B.Because they love the burning sensation. C.Because they want to challenge themselves. D.Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns. 5.What’s the main idea of the passage? A.His or her parents’ diets decide on his or her personality. B.The latest study shows whether a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on his or her personality. C.His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality. D.His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality.

阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 In the last week, terrible floods have hit Prague, the beautiful old capital city of the Czech Republic. These are the worst floods for over 100 years, leaving thousands of people without homes. The floods rushed into Prague zoo as well, and hundreds of zoo animals had to swim for their lives. One of the monkeys drowned in two minutes, because the place where he lived was covered by water. An elephant, called Kadir, also drowned, but his death helped to save other animals. Kadir was famous because he had appeared on TV. When they heard the news of his death, hundreds of people phoned the zoo offering help. After the sad news of the elephant’s death, many volunteers came to the zoo to help the animals. This was not easy. They had to use the huge machines to lift things onto ships. Without these, it would have been impossible to lift the very large animals like elephants. Other animals swam out and were found in the rivers. One of the seals, Gaston, swam to Germany, 120 kilometers away. In the end, four hundred animals were salvaged. 1.Why do you think the elephant death helped to save other animals?(no more than 15 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 2.How did a seal survive the flood at last?
