三、阅读理解(共12小题，每小题2分，满分24分)
A
Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years，scientists said "no" or "We don't know". But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists(存在)somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，" say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望远镜)have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，" says Shostak. "And our galaxy，the Milk Way，has at least 100 billion stars. Some
planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."
In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now，powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜)allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth? "Probably not，" says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways，such as radio signs. In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025，we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. "
26. What is the best title for Paragraph Two?
A. The Age and Size of Earth
B. Our Galaxy: The Milk Way
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist
D. Earth: The Only Planet With Intelligent Life
27. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?
A. There were not any smaller planets.
B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them.
D. The Milk Way didn't exist at that time.
28. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?
A. They are afraid of us.
B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us.
D. They don't know how to use radio signs.
29. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Messages.
B. Tools.
C. Intelligent beings.
D. Radio signs.

If you love reading books，you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history，it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言).Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book，an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).
The book tells the story of a pilot，called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film，the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older.

China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a
beautiful way.
Huang Lei，who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

By the year 2400，the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet，so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.
So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

My junior school life is coming to an end. I had a lot of sweet memories. Of them, I’d like to share with you my favorite story about a basketball game. Our team got a good start by beating two strong teams. However, our captain hurt his finger during the third game. He is the brain of our team. When thinking of losing of the center, we were all down and couldn’t concentrate on the next match. Our captain found this and encouraged us to fight on and cheered us up. With the help of our captain, we played as well as the first two games. Seeing our captains waving his injured finger, we made our biggest efforts in the following games. With the cheers of our students ,we w on the champion. During the celebrations, we threw our captain into the air. I would never forget it because I understood the importance of teamwork for the first time.。
