26、   NASA is studying ways to build human habitations on the Red Planet. In 2016, SpaceX publicly announced a plan to begin building settlements Mars. This mission (任务)could put people on Mars by 2026. This is why astrobiology students at Villanova began their Mars Gardens project, investigating which plants and vegetables can grow in iron oxide-rich Martian soil simulant (模拟物).

A few billion years ago, Mars had a better environment, complete with oceans, a mild climate and quite possibly —life. It has since lost most of its atmosphere and water and there's currently no water on its surface. Water (or ice) is present beneath the surface, however, as well as in the planet's icy polar areas. The tough conditions on Mars make it necessary for all plants to be grown in heated, pressurized greenhouses with significant compensations (补充)made for atmosphere, wetness and water.

In their greenhouse experiments, the Villanova students took measures to create an environment that's both plant-friendly and similar to what would be found in greenhouses on Mars. They made sure, for example that plants received roughly the same amount of sunlight as they would on Mars. The students found that their success rates improve by using multiwavelength LEDs and adding potting soil or earthworm feces.

The students were able to get certain vegetables from consideration. For example, the low light on Mars does not lend itself well to growing plants that require full sun, which include favorites like tomatoes, beans, corn or many root plants. Carrots also don't make the cut. Potatoes largely don't thrive in the simulant soil and low light conditions, but sweet potatoes do a little better.

The students found that dandelions (蒲公英)would grow well on Mars and have significant benefits: they grow quickly, every part of the plant is eatable, and they have high nutritional value. Other thriving plants include microgreens, lettuce, peas and so on.

【1】What do the students at Villanova intend to do with their project?

A.Design space crafts for the Mars mission.

B.Choose possible plants to be grown on Mars.

C.Study reasons for environmental changes on Mars.

D.Test models of human settlements to be set up on Mars.

【2】What is the environment on Mars like?

A.The air pressure is low. B.The temperature is high.

C.The soil is plant-friendly, D.The sunlight is abundant.

【3】What does the underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Have high nutrition. B.Require full sun.

C.Grow well. D.Adjust to the conditions.

【4】Which is likely to grow best on Mars?

A.Tomatoes. B.Carrots. C.Potatoes. D.Dandelions.

27、Car registration plates (车牌) are just a series of numbers and letters, right? Well, yes… but not for everyone.

Amazingly, number plates existed before cars. The city of Victoria in Canada gave horse-drawn carriages number plates as early as 1884. And France was the first country to introduce plates in 1893. Early number plates were different shapes and sizes, and made of lots of different materials. In fact, it was not until 1957 that car manufacturers and governments agreed on standardized plates, and even today there are three different sizes.

The first car registration number in the UK was A1. This was sold to Earl Russell by the London County Council in 1903. The letter “A” showed the number was from London, while the number “1” showed it was the first number issued. However, since then, the system has changed many times. At the moment, number plates in the UK consist of letters and numbers. Let’s look at the registration number plate “LK51 FTN”. First of all, “LK” shows which registration office has issued the registration number (in this case, it’s London Stanmore). The numbers 51 show the age of the car (51 means the car was licensed in the second half of 2001). And the last three letters are random.

Different EU countries use different arrangements of numbers and letters. For example, Spain uses four numbers and three letters, while Sweden uses three numbers and three letters, and Norway and Denmark use two letters and five digits. The system has changed many times because the letter-number combinations keep running out. UK number plates don’t have to include the European Union symbol although most EU countries use the symbol.

Some number plates have become extremely valuable, particularly those that spell out words. Basically, numbers on the plates can be used to represent words or parts of words. For example, “8” can mean “ate”; “4” can be “four” or “for”; and “2” can symbolize “to”, “two” or “too”. For example, “NVERLA8” means “Never late”.

Plates that represent words or phrases are commonly known as “vanity plates”. And they can be extremely expensive. Russian businessman Roman Abramovich is supposed to have paid over £250,000 for the plate “VIP 1”. Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has bought the plate “LEW 1S” and the most expensive number plate ever was “M1” which an anonymous buyer has acquired for £331,000.

So, what’s your number plate? It might be worth a fortune.

【1】What can we learn from the development of car plates?

A．Canada, France and UK have invented three different plate sizes.

B．In terms of giving car plates, Canada acted much earlier than France.

C．UK has always been consistent in its system for car registration numbers.

D．Car producers and governments cooperated to form standards for plates.

【2】Why have EU countries had to change their systems of arranging numbers and letters?

A．No such agreement has been reached among different EU countries.

B．Much confusion has arisen from different digits adopted by EU countries.

C．Old letter-number arrangements were not adequate for increasing needs.

D．The British design of number plates differs from that of most EU countries.

【3】“LEW 1S” has fetched a high priced mainly because __________.

A．it can be read out just the way of its master’s name

B．Lewis Hamilton believes that it can bring luck to him

C．the public consider it as a symbol of higher social classes

D．it has a long history and is different from current EU plates

28、Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88,000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.

Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.

Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.

The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One teachers’ union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.

The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government’s delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.

Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress.

【1】If a private company wants to operate a charter school, it must .

A．try new methods of teaching

B．prove its management ability

C．obey the local and state laws

D．get the government’s permission

【2】Charter schools are independent because .

A．they make greater progress

B．their class size is smaller

C．they enjoy more freedom

D．they oppose traditional ways

【3】What’s the government’s attitude toward charter schools?

A．Doubtful.

B．Supportive.

C．Subjective.

D．Optimistic.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．More students choose to attend charter schools.

B．Charter schools are better than traditional schools.

C．Students in charter schools are well educated.

D．People have different opinions about charter schools.

【5】It can be inferred from the text that .

A．charter schools are part of the education system

B．one-on-one attention should be paid to students

C．the number of charter schools will be limited

D．charter schools are all privately financed

29、   Everyone judge the film through a different angle. If you a doctor, you may think:”That character would not have survived that fall.” If you’re a physicist : That’s not how black holes work.” And if you’re me, it’s more like: “What a dumb concept of future personal technology!”

It makes me crazy when sci-fi movie makers dream up stuff with no basis in science.Human teleporters(传送器)? Sorry, Star Trek. A bed that detects and cures cancer in seconds? No, Elysium.

On the other hand, some technologies in some movies are so practical that people invest them in the real world. Star Trek’s self opening doors are now a standard feature of grocery store entrances, and the driver less cars from Total Recall(and many other films )are already on American roads.

Lately it’s clear that Hollywood’s production designers have been putting serious thought into the tech we’ll someday crazy. Her , for example, is about a man who falls in love with his siri-like voice assistant. He talks to her through a single earbud(耳机），through which he gets a surprising amount done: processing e-mail, flipping through news stories, sending messages. When an image is essential to the communication, he flips open his phone, where the pictures appears.

The solution makes a lot of sense-----more than , for example, Google Glass, a now dis continued headband that place a miniature screen above your eyebrow. It’s not the technical ones but the social missteps(失策) that make the Glass’s plan fail. Glass’s camera frightened others and made you look like a monster.

You can see why people went nuts over the concept: imagine having all the power of a smart phone without actually needing a smart phone. We won’t see this in the real world, though. Even a projector, battery and processor could be squeezed into a thin band, there remains a lot of challenges. How would the projector attain sharp focus on an irregular , moving palm? How would it project on sunny day? How would it work on very light or very dark skin?

The robots in HBO’s westwood----so perfectly designed that we can’t tell the robots from humans----might be a little untrue. Yet the personal tech in that series makes a lot of sense: the characters carry cardboard-thin, trifold phones. When you need a quick check, you glance at it’s “cover”; when you need the bigger picture, you unfold it into a tablet.（平板）

Most of these shows, however, continue to get one thing wrong: obviously,in the future, our computers make little sounds as their text and images appear. Why do movie makers think that adding silly sound effects make their machines more realistic? In the real world, a room full of burbling screens makes us crazy.

Well, I suppose I should let that part go. They’re just movies, right? They’re not a description of the future----at least not yet.

【1】Which of the following best describe the technologies in the movies?

A.They are too unrealistic to become true.

B.They are making a lot of sense .

C.They are not favoured by viewers.

D.They are appearing mostly in scientific movies.

【2】What does the underlined word “went nuts over” in paragraph 6 most probably mean？

A.not interested in

B.be crazy about

C.be disappointed about

D.be worried about

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.We will live in future where the film predict

B.The movies give a right description of our future.

C.The advanced technology contributes to the popularity of the films.

D.Some technology in films might be not welcome in the real world.

【4】What can we infer from paragraph 7?

A.The design of the robots are the same with human.

B.The tech applied in the movie are far from reality.

C.The phones created in the movie can be real in our life one day.

D.The film is well-received for its advanced technology.

【5】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.How well do movies predict our future?

B.The future of the science films。

C.The more technology, the better.

D.The imagination of future movies.

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.

"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.

"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

35、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly.

By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.
