B

The earth is the only planet that scientists think has life. Why does the earth have life while the other planets (行星) don't? For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. As the_third_planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake (烘烤) in the sun. The farthest planets are cold balls.

When the earth developed — which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago — many gases covered the earth. The gases caused the earth to be hot. But something wonderful happened. The temperature was just right for thick clou ds to form. It rained very hard for a very long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made it possible for plants to grow. The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.

Only one other planet in the solar system seems to  be something like the earth. That planet is Mars (火星). Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States. If you wore a special space suit, you could walk around on Mars. You would have to  bring your own air to breathe, the  air on Mars is too thin to breathe.

Mars has the largest volcano (火山) in the solar system. It is  sixteen miles high. The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. The most unexpected (未预测到的) sight on Mars is dried up river beds. Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now. Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so  far.

40.Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has  life?

A. The earth is just the right temperature.

B. The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars.

C. There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.

D. The earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.

答案与解析　B　细节理解题。文中提到地球是可证实的唯一有生命存在的太阳系行星，其原因包括地球合适的温度、距太阳距离适中和大气里含有氧气等。B项火山与此无关。

41.The underlined phrase “the third planet” in the first paragraph  refers to ________.

A. the Sun               B. the Moon

C. the Earth             D. the Mars

答案与解析　C　词义猜测题。根据第一段中内容可知距离太阳第三远的行星指的是地球。

42.Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true?

A. There could have been living things on Mars.

B. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.

C. There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.

D. Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler.

答案与解析　A　细节理解题。文章最后一段提到火星上有干涸的河床的迹象，但这一点并不能证实火星上存在生命，因为还没有生命迹象，故A项不正确。其他三项都与文章相符。

C

Family activities

范文

Recently,_a_survey_has_been_carried_out_in_our_school_whether_the_freshmen_have_become_used_to_the_life_in_senior_high_school.

As can be seen from the result of the survey, opinions are divided. About 60% of the students in Senior 1 hold the opinion that life in senior high school is far from relaxing. The reasons are as follows: First of all, the subject they are learning now are obviously more different. Besides, they have to do endless homework after class, which leaves them little time for exercise and other activities.

On the contrary, others say they have become  used to the new life and have begun to enjoy it. They say that they find the courses are more interesting and the activities are more colorful, which surely benefit them a lot.

As far as I'm concerned, we should balance our study and other activities and do everything effectively. Only in this way can we learn more and enjoy our life.
