Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, "I must be able to run faster than the __16__ lion, or I will be killed." At the same time, a __17__ wakes from his dream. The first thing the lion thinks about is, "I must be able to __18__ the slowest antelope, or I will starve (挨饿) to death." So, almost at the same time, the antelope and the lion get up and start __19__ toward the rising sun.

This is life: full of chances and challenges (挑战). Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you __20__ go ahead when the sun rises. For __21__ it is just the same.

I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me __28__.

I'm a virus (病毒) for the common cold. It has been a long time since I infected (感染) humans last time. Today I tried to infect a boy in a primary school all day. His name is Sam. I waited on his desktop, and when he touched the desk, I jumped on his finger. Unluckily, Sam didn't touch his eyes, mouth or nose. Then, right after class, he washed his hands. Now I'm full of soap and sitting really far away from Sam!

Tuesday, January 22nd

This morning I jumped into the nose of Sam’s best friend, Bill. Unluckily, the mucus (粘液) in his nose caught me. I thought it was over for me, when suddenly Bill sneezed (打喷嚏) while he was talking to Sam. I knew that would send me right into Sam’s face! However,Sam quickly gave Bill a tissue, and Bill sneezed into that instead! Infecting people is harder than I imagined.

Wednesday, January 23rd

I'm feeling very unhappy today. Some scientists caught my friend Harry and put him under a microscope. Harry is a flu virus and he's a dangerous little guy. Besides, Sam ate all his vegetables today. He's exercising.and he's getting eight hours of sleep every night. His body is too strong for me!

Thursday, January 24th

I tried to infect Sam again today, but he washed his hands five times and never touched his face! He also gave tissues to every student in hie class who was sneezing. It's impossible to give him a cold! So I have to give up and I'm moving to another school.

34.According to the passage, life of the virus for the common cold could be __________.

A.easy           B.lucky        C.dangerous        D.difficult

35.The underlined word "his" in the passage refers to ___________.

A.Sam's      B.Bill's      C.Harry's     D.Bill's friend's

36.The passage is trying to tell us that ____________.

A.viruses feel happy,sad and angry just as people do

B.it's important to protect your own body against viruses

C.we should be friendly when other people around you are sick

D.many viruses around us like to infect boys in primary schools

                                 C

Space travel is nothing new. The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961. Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but many of them have also lived there in space stations for some time.

The Soviet Union sent the first space station into space in 1971. This space station was called Salyut I. Salyut I was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments (实验). They found the space was just like a magic box. The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days. The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab.

Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time. However, it wasn't until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.

_____________ One of them is food. All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans. The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. Astronauts also cat plenty of other food such as dried meat that do not need special care. Without the help of gravity (重力), sitting down to eat can be hard. Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating. They also have to be very careful so that food does not float away.

37.What docs the underlined word "observed" in Paragraph 2 mean in English?

A.discovered      B.checked      C.watched     D.heard

38.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A.Space travel has quite a long history of more than 60 years.

B.Astronauts could live in the Mir space station for no more than three weeks.

C.The Soviet Union sent a total of 9 space stations into space in the 1970s and 1980s.

D.Astronauts can never have a chance to eat fresh food when they live in space stations.

39.Which of the following is the best to fill in the“___________" in the passage?

A.Living in space stations seems to be fun.

B.Living in space stations seems to be colorful.

C.Living in space stations makes astronauts get more information.

D.Living in space stations makes astronauts face many problems.

40.What is the best title of this passage?

A.Exploring Space

B.Space Travel

C.Living in Space

D.Space Stations

Dear Mr. Li,

I'm very glad to hear that our school will have a basketball club. I'd like to join it. My name is Liu Hua, an outgoing boy. I'm interested in sports, especially basketball.

I fairly want to join the club. One of the main reasons is that I expect to make more friends. In addition, I also want to improve myself and make me better at basketball. Of course, I could learn teamwork from it, too.I'm looking forward to your reply!
