American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.Finally, when its time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.（1）What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?A . Something for cutting applesB . A person who likes to please others.C . A person who is dealing with fruitsD . A machine for cleaning apples quickly（2）“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about _.A . cookingB . medicineC . shoppingD . health（3）Which of the following is TRUE with apples?A . Apples are medicine.B . Apples are the most important foodC . New York is famous for its big apples.D . The Bible says Adam was given an apple.（4）The passage is mainly about_.A . stories about the appleB . apples in American cultureC . some famous sayings of the appleD . big cities that is famous for apples27. （2分）Every child has his own dreamEvery child hopes to be an adultHowever, is it truly like what they imagine?

But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists 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 sizethe 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 Milky 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 planetsthe size of Mars or Earthin other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited Earth? Probably not, says Shostak. Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as radio signals. They may be trying to communicate with us now, but we dont 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.（1）Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are _. A . astronomersB . farmersC . singersD . drivers（2）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 Milky Way didnt exist at that time.（3）Why havent beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? A . Theyre afraid of us.B . Its a long way away.C . They dont want to see us.D . They dont know how to use radio signals.（4）What does the underlined phrase life forms in the last paragraph mean? A . Messages.B . Tools.C . Intelligent beings.D . Radio signals.29. （6分）阅读理解As summer ends and fall begins, you can still enjoy spring flowers inside!
