It’s 2050. The Earth is dying, and moving to Mars seems to be the only way out for humans. A team of American astronauts (宇航员) begin to search on Mars.This is what the movie Red Planet begins with. Known as Red Planet, Mars is the favorite of writers and filmmakers.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the next planet beyond the Earth. Mars is the only planet whose surface can be seen from the Earth. It is about half size of our planet.

The surface of Mars is more like the Earth than any other planet. But it is further from the Sun than the Earth, so temperatures on Mars are much lower. Plants and animals cannot live now on Mars. But many scientists still believe that such life may have been on Mars long ago.

On 6th August, 1996, scientists discovered a piece of rock from Mars, which fell to the Earth 13,000 years ago. 10 years later, some scientists still didn’t accept that there was life on Mars. People may not be sure about life on Mars until a sample (样本) of life is brought back. Some further researches are being done in many countries. If you want to know more information, please click (点击) www.spaceexploration.com.

4．Why is the movie Red Planet mentioned?

A．To introduce the topic. B．To advise readers to go to Mars.

C．To compare Mars with the Earth. D．To tell stories about American astronauts.

5．What do we know about Mars?

A．it is too soft B．it is too far C．it is too small D．it is too cold

7．The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A．a notice B．a website C．a diary D．a tour guide

A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by chains (铁链). All that was holding them back from running away from the camp was a small piece of rope (绳索) —it was just tied to one of their legs.

As the man looked at the elephants, he couldn’t understand it. Why didn’t the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and run away from the camp? They could easily make it, but instead, they didn’t try at all. Then, he asked a trainer nearby why it was so.

“When they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size of rope to tie them and at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they still believed that they couldn’t break away. They believed the rope could still hold them, so they never tried to break free.” the trainer answered.

The man was in silence. These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted, but it was just because over time, they had the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed in it once or some times before?

Failure is part of learning. If we failed once or a few times, it doesn’t mean. We can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.

8．What did the man discover in the elephant camp?

A．The elephants were kept in cages. B．The elephants were tied by small ropes.

C．The elephants were tied by chains. D．The elephants were very old and weak.

9．Why didn’t he elephants try to run away from the camp?

A．Because there was no need to run away. B．Because they were scared of the trainers.

C．Because they didn’t believe they could break free. D．Because the ropes were too hard to break.

10．How did the man feel after he heard the trainer’s words?

A．Angry. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Relaxed.

11．What lesson can we learn from the story?

A．You don’t need to question your old opinions. B．You should try to live the easiest life you can.

C．It’s OK to give up when challenges are too hard. D．You need to try again even though you failed once.

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace.

Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

12．What does the expression “at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．According to their own timetable. B．Without their teachers’ help.

C．Because of their wonderful goals. D．Against their parents’ hope.

13．From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．students with iPads have less discussion in class B．students get more fun from learning with iPads

C．iPads help students save time waiting for buses D．iPads prevent students from cheating in the exam

14．Many adults think that technologies such as iPads are ________ to students.

A．creative B．enjoyable C．harmful D．wonderful

15．The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．teachers can take control of students’ learning

B．exam results depend a lot on new technology

C．technology in education has a bright future

D．note-taking is as helpful as video-watching

56．范文：

Dear Bob,

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far or how busy we are, we will try to come home for celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time when we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as traveling and visiting our relatives or friends.

Yours,

Li Ping
