However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures range +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade. There is no air, and no water. Today there is considerable scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface is still not determined. But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters. These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the settlers themselves from the earth. Finally, settlements that are self-supporting will be founded.The main job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. They will have to plant crops under huge domes (圆顶屋) to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial (商业的) development and to make discoveries important to science. The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing . Operations requiring a vacuum (真空) or extreme cold are examples. Therefore, industrial diamonds might be produced on the moon.25. The area of the moon is _.A. about the same as that of North and South AmericaB. larger than that of North and South AmericaC. hardly equal to that of North and South AmericaD. far smaller than that of North and South America26. To stay alive on the moon, first of all the early settlers must be able to _.A. get enough food, oxygen and water B. develop commerceC. make discoveries important D. explore the possibilities of industrial development27. Though the environment on the moon is bad for human staying alive, it is very good for _.A. all kinds of manufactured goods B. commercial development C. making such things as industrial diamonds D. medical operationsCInterested In Childcare?Qualified person or preschool teacher needed for busy childcare center, south of the river.

A. 5 B. 10 C. 15D. 45DIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and theyre still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“Its a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students suggestions that they be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.32The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means_.A. perfection B. advantage C. pity D. fault33Since the new system has performed, _ of water can be saved.A. a quarter B. one third C. one half D. two thirds34It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. the new operation can solve the water crisis.B. The new operation can raise studentsenvironmental awareness.C. a similar operation has been set in other universities.D. The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.35In which column can you find this passage?A. People. B. Society C. Campus Life. D. Lifestyle.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。In 2004, the 410,000 residential(住宅的) fires in America caused more than 14,000 injuries and 3,000 deaths.
