My belief began when I was just a kid.I __1__ becoming a doctor.My mother was a domestic.Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they __2__ watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programmes during the week.

Years later we realized her marks were a __4__. My mother was illiterate.When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to __5__ with the guys. I went from being an Astudent to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from __6__ her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I'll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy __7__ food and pay the bills. With money __8__,you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.”I was very __9__ with that arrangement but once I got through allocating money, there was __10__ left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, __11__ buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my __12__ and became an Astudent again, and eventually I __13__ my dream and I became a doctor.My story is really my mother's story—a woman with __14__ formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe.

I believe that the success of this __1__ loved concoction(混合物) lies not in the brand of peanut butter, but rather in the jelly. The right jelly __2__ the palate, and homemade is the only choice.My motherinlaw was the jelly maker in this family. This limited choice was a welcome __3__ in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. All I did was to __4__ baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would seal with wax(蜡) and __5__ back home with us. Whenever I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, all I had to do was reach for one of little jars. Jelly making was just a way of __6__ for my mother-in-law.

Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the __9__ canned goods.The other day I reached my pantry(储物间) for jelly for a quick sandwich. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly, whose lid was __10__ in places. Written on it was “GR” for grape and the year when the jelly was made.As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had __11__ to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from the patient, loving hands. We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at table without __12__ about those thousands of little jars she had filled.

We expect these hundreds of pictures and many more memories to __15__ the years and to pass on to ourchildren. The jar of jelly won't keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or thrown out…but not today.1.A.consequently B.mentallyC.universally D.absolutely2. A.frustrates B.excitesC.surprises D.delights3.

His hands tell the story of his life as a farmer,including all his struggles.One summer, I remember,a drought(旱灾) hit Ontario, turning it into a __1__ desert. On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my dad to fill the last __2__ from the grocery store. Fifty dozen was all we needed, which __3__ took twenty minutes. That morning,however, the process didn't __4__ quickly.After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field, we __5__ needed twenty dozen. I was completely frustrated and __6__.Dropping the basketheavily,I declared,“If the store wants its last twenty dozen,they can pick it themselves!” Dad __7__ ,“Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we're done.”Such is Dad—whatever problem he __8__ ,he never gives up.Unfortunately,the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our country. It was a challenging time for everyone, __9__ Dad remained optimistic.He continued to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plates.Only then did I truly begin to __10__ Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.Dad is also a living example of real __11__.From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to support our family.He always puts our happiness __12__ his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games __13__ his exhaustion after long days.His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic and __14__ , putting others first.Dad, the life __15__ I have learned from you will stay with me forever.You are my father, teacher, friend and,most importantly,my hero.1.A.stormy B.livelyC.disappearing D.burning2.A.order B.formC.gap D.position3.A.repeatedly B.normallyC.finally D.really4.A.go B.beginC.occur D.change5.A.yet B.stillC.even D.nearly6.A.surprised B.nervousC.angry D.frightened7.A.apologized B.criedC.complained D.laughed8.A.meets with B.brings upC.works out D.thinks about9.A.or B.forC.so D.but10.A.face B.appreciateC.examine D.question11.A.love B.prideC.friendship D.honesty12.A.after B.beforeC.beside D.under13.A.in spite of B.in terms ofC.in control of D.in place of14.A.careful B.regretfulC.considerate D.humorous15.A.history B.mottosC.patterns D.lessons专题限时训练(二)[夹叙夹议型完形填空](限时:每篇15分钟)AFor a long time I saw happiness as a huge banner (旗帜)across the finish line of a long race. I felt that only when I __1__ certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being slow and __2__ would win the race. At other times I would __3__ like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous speed hoping to reach that banner a little faster. __4__,I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it, the banner was never any __5__.I finally decided one day to sit down and take a break. It was then that I saw my __6__ sitting beside me.It had been with me as I __7__ hard to support my family, as I played with my children and heard their __8__ and even when I was sick with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didn't have the __9__ to see it. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Tension i s what you think you should be. __10__ is who you are.”Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the __11__ life we think we should have and __12__ the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found in your own heart, soul and mind. It will be found when you __13__ that others love you just as you do. Don't be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick of __14__ with you everywhere you go. __15__ yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes to love and happiness, you are already there.1.

The item she had __1__ was intended for her daughter, but she had already received a similar one.

[人物型阅读理解](限时:25分钟)APatti Page, the topselling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 2nd, 2013, when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the postwar era. Take her Tennessee Waltz for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15minute programme.At the age of 20, Page was discovered by bigband leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including: With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming, and Old Cape Cod.Her last hit was Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte, recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then, there was Doggie in the Window. The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical programme, The Big Record. The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, The Patti Page Show. She continued to record and perform into the 21st century, most recently releasing an album of songs for children, a Christmas record, and a new “best of” collection.Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She costarred with the Oscarwinning Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry, and also starred on stage in the musical play Annie Get Your Gun.1. According to the passage, Patti Page ________.A.wanted to be a singer as a childB.was born in a small town in 1927C.was known mainly for her acting skillsD.started her work as a TV programme hostess2. According to the passage, which one of her following recorded songs was criticized?A.Old Cape Cod.B.Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte.C.Doggie in the Window.D.With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming.3. Tennessee Waltz is mentioned in the passage in order to show that ________.A.Patti Page was a beloved singerB.Patti Page's songs were successfulC.Patti Page was the topselling female artistD.Patti Page was good at recording songs4. We can know from the passage that Patti Page ________.A.got to know Jack Rael in 1945B.left Mercury Records at the age of 35C.appeared in The Patti Page Show in 1957D.wrote many songs for children in her late life5. It is inferred from the passage that ________.A.Patti Page gave up singing in public in her late lifeB.Patti Page's gift in art began to be shown in her teensC.Patti Page's great success was due to her hard work and others' helpD.Patti Page was not only a successful singer but also a successful actressBAmerican actor Johnny Depp can best be described as unconventional. From his early life, his path into acting and even in his choice of movie roles, we can see that Depp has seldom taken the easy road. His willingness to take risks and do the unexpected has made Depp one of the few Hollywood actors able to achieve huge commercial success while maintaining his artistic reputation.Born in 1963, Depp was somewhat troublesome as a youth, occasionally turning to pettycrime and drugs. When his parents divorced in 1978, Depp dropped out of school against his mother's wishes and started a music band called the Kids. Although the band achieved some success, they were seldom able to make_ends_meet,_with Depp often unable to pay his rent, sleeping on friends' sofas and even in his car.In 1983, the everoptimistic Depp and his new wife, Lori Anderson, moved to Hollywood, California to further Depp's musical career. But life there continued to be a struggle and Depp was forced to take a job selling pens door to door to support his new family. His luck changed when Lori's exboyfriend, the famous actor Nicholas Cage, impressed by Depp's good looks and intelligence, suggested he become an actor and helped him get a small part in a movie. Several other minor movie roles—and a divorce from Lori—followed, before Depp got his big break three years later. He landed the leading role in the television series 21 Jump Street, playing a youthful undercover police officer. The hugely popular show turned Depp into a teenage heartthrob overnight. He appeared on the cover of countless magazines and was much sought after by movie producers, eager to exploit his popularity with teenage girls.But Depp left 21 Jump Street after three years, when it was at the height of its popularity, later admitting that he hated the show's unoriginal storylines and his “pretty boy” character. In the decade that followed, Depp rejected repeated offers of “pretty boy” roles in bigbudget Hollywood films. Instead he established himself as a serious, somewhat dark, peculiar performer, consistently selecting roles in smaller, independent films that surprise critics and audiences alike.Even in the movie that made Depp an international superstar, The Pirates of the Caribbean(2003), he was barely recognizable as Captain Jack Sparrow, the British, longhaired goldentoothed pirate. This and subsequent hit movies have placed Deppat the very top of the commercial film industry (with a paycheck of $20 million for each such movie), but he still continues to make the smaller, stranger films for which he is so greatly admired.1. As a youth, Depp could be described as a ________.A.serious criminalB.trouble makerC.drug addictD.successful musician2. The underlined expression “make ends meet” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.A.get together after a showB.meet their audienceC.play to the endD.earn enough to live3. In which order did the following events take place in Depp's life?a. met Nicholas Cageb. started a band called the Kidsc. played a British pirated. sold pens door to doore. got married to Lori Andersonf. starred in a TV showA.d, b, e, a, c, fB.b, e, d, a, f, cC.a, b, f, c, d, eD.e, d, a, c, f, b4. Why did Depp leave the TV show 21 Jump Street?A.The show was no longer popular.B.He wanted to perform in movies.C.He thought the show was terrible.D.He rejected planned changes to his role.5. Depp's choice of movie roles throughout most of his career suggests that ________.A.he valued interesting work over moneyB.he believed he couldn't play “pretty boy” roles wellC.he was very popular with Hollywood movie producersD.he was more interested in shocking audiences than entertainingCGreg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Shoes (S. O. S.) charity.A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with knee and hip injuries.“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and theconfidence I got from running, ” he says,“And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes. ”Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe d rive into a yearround endeavour.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the YMCA and the local sporting goods store and from doortodoor pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation centre. He has started accepting adult sizes and sandals(凉鞋). So far, S. O. S. has collected and donated more than 3, 000 pairs.Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the wor nout ones for recycling.To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world. Keven Baxter, founder and president, says, “We'd send kids balls and shoes. I've heard that for many of these kids, these old sneakers are the only shoes they had. They wear them to school and to do sports. So Greg's running shoes were a nice addition for us.”For many recipients(接受者), the shoes represent opportunity. Two young boys in Southern California attended school on alternate days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S. O. S., each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.1. What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?A.The benefits from playing sports.B.News about some poor children.C.His reflection on school life.D.The medical treatment he received.2. When collecting more sneakers than expected, Woodburn decided to________.A.include adult sizes and sandalsB.set up branches in different citiesC.collect shoes throughout the yearD.expand his endeavour in the whole city3. How did Woodburn manage to deliver the shoes collected?A.By sending them by mail.B.By working with Sports Gift.C.By advertising for those in need.D.By offering them from door to door.4. What can we learn from Keven Baxter's remarks?A.Sports Gift is popular around the world.B.Many children need Greg's old sneakers.C.Greg's running shoes are the best gifts for children.D.Children need more soccer and baseball equipment than shoes.5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.An organized activityB.Greg Woodburn's lifeC.How to collect sneakersD.Recycled sneakers fit for sharing专题限时训练(十三) [故事型阅读理解](限时:25分钟)AI still remember—my hands and my fingers still remember—what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “Now see that it's done pro perly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you'll have to answer for it!”So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small—nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don't know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating is completely foreign to our nature.1. Th e statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that “________”.A.the author's hands were severely injured in the cleaning upB.the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upC.the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning upD.the author's hands were his only tool for the cleaning2. The headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because________.A.he was too lazyB.there were many fallen leaves on the groundC.the school yard was covered with mudD.the students didn't finish their homework3. The headmaster asked the older boys to________.A.beat those who worked slowlyB.treat the small boys as peanutsC.take charge of the process of the cleaningD.do the cleaning all by themselves4. According to Para.3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably________.A.gave it to the big boys so as to please themB.gave it as a bribe to the headmasterC.spent it all on his midday mealD.spent it buying midday meals for the big boys5. When receiving complaints, the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means of ________.A.slight punishmentB.harsh criticismC.complete indifferenceD.good beatingBThe 30 miles of steep roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46yearold father of four, wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia, fouryearold son Baylor, and nineyearold n eighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.The weather was fine,but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upsidedown car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater,” remembers Andersen, a softspoken product development manager. “You're thinking, is this how it's all going to end?”Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn't find her. I thought,“If I don't get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout atthe father, “Who else is in the car?” Andersen says respec tfully, “It_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”1. What might be the main reason for the car accident?A.The sharp Uturn.B.The steep dam.C.The sudden brake.D.A truck hitting the car.2. Andersen didn't expect any trouble on the road because ________.A.he was familiar with the roadB.he was good at drivingC.his hands didn't have sweatD.the weather was fine3. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A.Andersen lost conciousness in the water.B.Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.C.Andersen liked Mia most among the children.D.Strangers teamed together to save the three children.4. The underlined sentence is to express Andersen's feeling of being________.A.tiredB.excitedC.doubtfulD.grateful5. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Stay calm when in troubleB.Drive rounding a UturnC.Miracle rescue from an icy riverD.Mystery of the Bear River MountainsCDetective Keeling took his client—a goodlooking lady into the back yard of the store together. The lady opened a door in the wall and they entered the small room behind the store. They crossed the room to a locked door.Mr Keeling took some special keys from his pocket. Moments later, one of the keys unlocked the door. The lady went into the store. She said she would hide under the table to keep watch on her husband. Mr Keeling did not follow her.The detective went quickly to the policeman's house. Then the two men hurried to the jewellery store. They looked through the window. The policeman was surprised. He spoke to Mr Keeling,“I don't understand. You told me, ‘Robbins took a young woman to a restaurant.’ Where is she?”“There she is!” said Mr Keeling. He pointed through the window.“Do you know the lady with Robbins?” asked the policeman.“That's his secret friend,” said Mr Keeling.“No! You're wrong! That's Robbins' wife,” said the policeman. “I've known her for fifteen years.”“What?” the detective shouted. His face became pale. “Who is under the table in the store?”He started to kick the door of the jewellery store.Mr Robbins came to the door and opened it. The policeman and the detective ran into the store.“Look under that table!” shouted the detective. “Be quick!”The policeman lifted the cloth and put his arm under the table. He pulled out a black dress, a black veil and a woman's wig(假发).“Is this young lady your wife?” Mr Keeling asked the jeweller. He pointed at the woman.“Yes! She is my wife!” said Mr Robbins angrily. “Why did you kick my door? Why are those clothes under my table?”“Please check all the jewellery in your store, Mr Robbins,” the policeman said. “Is anything missing?”Some diamond rings and some expensive necklaces were missing. The missing jewellery was worth $800.Later that night, Mr Keeling was sitting in his office. He was looking through a big book of photographs. They were photographs of criminals. The policeman had brought the book to the detective's office. Suddenly, Mr Keeling stopped turning the pages. He looked at a picture of a handsome young man with a familiar face.The next morning, Mr Keeling paid the jeweller $800, then closed his office.1. At the beginning, the lady was able to go into the jewellery store because ________.A.she went to the back yard and found the wayB.she was the owner of the store and had the keyC.two men helped her together to enter the storeD.Mr Keeling unlocked the back door to the store2. The young lady who stayed with Mr Robbins in the jewellery store was actually ________.A.Mr Robbins' sisterB.Mr Robbins' secret friendC.Mr Robbins' wifeD.a clever thief3.

But these stations are expensive and sparsely (稀疏地) distributed. Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings. However, recharging or replaci ng batteries by hand at very hardtoreach locations makes it impractical and costly.The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a selfsustaining power supply. Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly r echarged using electricity produced by the tree. “A single tree doesn't generate a lot of power, but over time the trickle (细流) charge adds up, just like ‘________’”, said Shuguang Zhang, one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT's Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBE).The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day, or immediately if there's a fire. Each signal spreads from one sensor to another, until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command centre in Boise, Idaho.Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity.

He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn't think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water.He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don't really think I'm a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”1.Why was Duret in New York?A.To meet his girlfriend.B.To spend his holiday.C.To work as an engineer.D.To visit the Andersons.2.What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A.He was interviewed by a newspaper.B.He went to the hospital in the ambulance.C.He disappeared from the spot quickly.D.He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.3.Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?A.David Anderson.B.A passerby.C.His girlfriend.D.A taxi driver.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.B.Duret dived into the water before the girl's father.C.The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D.Duret didn't think he was brave enough to be a hero.5.What is probably the headline of this news report?A.A Careless FatherB.A Poor GirlC.Warmhearted OnlookersD.Brave Frenchman FoundCScientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet's history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months. It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. It also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. Then it sends the information back to the earth.Curiosity's main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars, either now or in the past. On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth. Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water. Mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals. Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars. It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.1. Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?A.It landed on Mars in January 2012.B.It is small in size and has four arms.C.It took over eight months to arrive in Mars.D.It was sent to Mars by scientists from Russia.2. According to the information sent back by Curiosity, scientists believe that________.A.there's no air on MarsB.Mars is warm and wet nowC.the soil on Mars is richD.there used to be water on Mars3. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to“________”.A.smooth stonesB.riversC.robotic vehiclesD.volcanoes4. We know from the sixth paragraph that________.A.some tiny animals once lived on MarsB.there are no plants or animals on Mars nowC.the atmosphere around Mars is full of methaneD.Curiosity is designed to test the atmosphere around the earth5. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Humans benefit a lot by going to Mars.B.Scientists will stop the research on Mars soon.C.It is possible to build an earthlike environment on Mars.D.A robotic vehicle helps scientists get useful information from Mars.。
