They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you dont even use your inner space?” H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France, is now completed.But what about underground cities? Japans Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solardome(太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city. Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earths space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells “moon people” would agree. Would you?1. The explorers in H. G. Wells story were surprised to find that the “moon people”_.A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Discovering the moons inner space. B. Using the earths inner space.C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Traveling to outer space.3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Citiescities of the future B. Space travel with H. G. WellsC. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up四、阅读表达The earliest observance of thanksgiving on this continent was with special services in Virginia as early as 1607. The first Thanksgiving Festival began on December 13th in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. It started as a harvest festival with the people thanking God for giving them sufficient crops. That first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days with the people enthusiastically participating.On June 20, 1676 the town of Charlestown, Massachusetts issued the First Thanksgiving Proclamation. By unanimous vote the governing council instructed the clerk, Edward Rawson, to proclaim June 29th as a day of thanksgiving.George Washington issued the first national Thanksgiving proclamation in 1789, the year of his inauguration as President of the United States of America. He called for another thanksgiving Day in 1795. With other presidents and state governors proclaiming days of thanksgiving at various times there was no effort to organize a yearly Thanksgiving Day until Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale struggled in 1827. It took thirty-six years to achieve victory when, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln made his Thanksgiving Day Proclamation. _.Today Thanksgiving Day is a legal holiday with most government and private employees being given the day off. Some companies and most schools also shut down the following Friday. Yes, the United Sates of America, for most purposes, observes Thanksgiving Day.But, it appears that Thanksgiving Day, like most other national and religious holidays, has been highly commercialized, to the point that many people forget what we are supposed to be celebrating. If we were to survey people on the street and ask, “What stands out in your mind when you think of Thanksgiving Day?” We would probably get answers like: turkey, dinner, pilgrims, fall, pumpkins, corn stalks. etc.But, how many people on Thanksgiving Day actually pause and do what the name of the event suggests? What portion of the celebrators do stop to thank God for our nation and for all we have?A psalm commands us, “ Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.”As we approach Thanksgiving Day, lets not focus on the food, which are gifts. Lets focus on the giver. Lets thank God for all he has provided. Lets call on his name and invite him to be present at our table. Lets celebrate Thanksgiving Day with grateful hearts.1What is the best title of the passage?
