With pleasure二、阅读理解For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive （善于接受的） to such messages. Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan (扫视) the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a puter, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy （银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life. However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent （有智力的） life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible （可理解的） messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence parable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family in only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billions years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilizations are much more advanced than ours. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.21According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might human beings live?A. 5 billion B. 10 billion C. 15 billion D. 200 billion22The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _. A. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsB. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsC. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets23 The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means “_”.A. find B. follow C. study D. form24 Which of the statements is TRUE based on the information in the passage?A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planet.C. Scientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets.D. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planet. 阅读理解。What looks like an angry old man and lives at the bottom of the ocean? Its the worlds ugliest animal-the blobfish(水滴鱼).Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the oceans surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive.Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldnt be able to serve its purpose.The blobfish dont have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy.The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to e by.Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen.Theres a purpose behind the blobfishs new title; it has bee the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals.“Weve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and Ive been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Societys Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight(风头) but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.25The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_ .A. cannot be eaten by peopleB. dont have a swim bladderC. only live at high sea levelsD. arent active in catching food26What makes the blobfish stay afloat?A. Their skin. B. Their tail.C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.27We can learn from what Simon Watt said that _ .A. most ugly animals are in dangerB. the population of the blobfish is increasingC. the blobfish have attracted the publics attentionD. people knew nothing about the blobfish in the past阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It was Thanksgiving morning.

I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“e in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my wornout slipcovers (椅套).

The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 65 In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in historya society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living. Britain was only the beginning. 66 The process of urbanizationthe migration of people from the countryside to the citywas the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities.Only about 2% live on farms. 67 Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 68 Until modern times, those living in cities were mainl
