Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are the modernday explorers, Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking？First of all, astronomers look for a star. Thats because our own Earth moves around a star (the Sun). More importantly, it is the correct distance( 距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. Thats because there is often water under the rock.After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. Its Gliese 581g and its near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average(平均的) temperature is between -31 and -12.Thats cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example. Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 58Ig is twenty light years from the Earth.（1）What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to live？ A . new star.B . A new planet.C . Some heat.D . Some light.（2）What does the rock on a planet tell us？ A . The star is in a right position.B . We may discover water under it.C . The planet is too near to the Sun.D . There can be air around the rock.（3）What does the underlined word scrutinizing mean in the last paragraph？ A . discussing.B . waiting.C . looking.D . traveling.（4）Whats the main idea of the text？ A . Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.B . There are planets similar to our Earth.C . Water, air and rock are important.D . Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.13. （10分）阅读理解 Children laugh often and easily. But as we grow up, we laugh less and maybe feel unhappier. Try laughing for no reason at all.

They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.A dispatchers job is counted in seconds, says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live.Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.After many years hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller cant tell clearly where he is, but it doesnt matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.We are trying to be quicker than Death, says Liang.（1）Is Liang Ruimei a dispatcher in Emergency Center of Jinzhong? （2）When did Emergency Center of Jinzhong start? （3）To be quicker than Death, what do the dispatchers in Emergency Center of Jinzhong do? （4）Do you think it necessary for dispatchers to draw maps by hand when they have electronic maps? Why or why not? 17. （10分）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Small talkAmericans often have short conversations, called small talk, about unimportant things with strangers or people they know but not very well. They may have small talk at parties, while waiting in line at the store, at family events or work. Its a way to say hi and express friendliness.Small talk is very useful. It can avoid uncomfortable silences and build stronger relationships. For example, when you first meet someone or talk to someone you dont know well, you can break the ice by making small talk. Small talk with a colleague(同事) about his child may help you to understand more of his life outside the office.In 2013, researchers from the University of Essex asked some people to make small talk in a study. They found small talk can make people happier. People who talked briefly(短暂地) with a waiter in a coffee shop felt happier than those who simply went in, ordered and left.However some people are not good at small talk. Here are some tips to improve your small-talking ability.Firstly, find common ground. When you have something similar with your speaking partner, that means you have something to talk about.Secondly, ask open-ended questions. They are suitable(合适的) for small talk. For example, if you ask visitors whether they like your city, they may simply say Yes. But if you ask What do you think of our city, they will have more freedom in how they answer.Thirdly, become a student. Nobody knows everything. So, as someone is answering one of your open-ended questions, they bring up something about which you know nothing. So, tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. Its a win-win situation.Finally, practice makes perfect. Like anything, getting good at making small talk takes practice.If you make small talk in your native language, you might become happier. If you are making small talk using English, you will most surely improve your speaking and listening skills.（1）Do Americans often have small talk? （2）Why is small talk useful? （3）What did some researchers from the University of Essex find in 2013? （4）What kind of questions are suitable for small talk? （5）What does the writer tell us about small talk in the passage? 18. （15分）书面表达根据下列提示写一篇题为“Saving tigers” 的英语短文，词数80100词。1). 老虎是最受人们欢迎的动物之一。2). 现在世界上仅存老虎约3200只，并且数目日益减少。3). 老虎处境危险的原因。(没有足够的水，食物和居住地；人类的捕猎等)4). 保护老虎的建议。第 16 页 共 16 页参考答案一、 从A、B、C三个选项中选择最佳答案填空（共10小题，每小题1 (共10题；共10分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、二、 完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分） (共1题；共10分)11-1、三、 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，计40分） (共4题；共40分)12-1、12-2、12-3、12-4、13-1、13-2、13-3、13-4、14-1、15-1、四、 写作技能（共11小题，计35分） (共3题；共35分)16-1、16-2、16-3、16-4、17-1、17-2、17-3、17-4、17-5、18-1、
