It was first marked by NASAs Kepler telescope(望远镜) so its called Kepler-186f. It lies about 500 light years from Earth and goes around its star. The planet is the right distance from its star for water: not too close or not too far. Water is one important condition that scientists guess is necessary for life. So it could have water and possible life. Its called a true Earth cousin.This planet is an Earth cousin, not an Earth twin, said Barclay, who is among a team of scientists reporting on the discovery in the magazine Science this week.Its very exciting to find a planet similar to the Earth, Barclay said, Its not easy work because things change as we get more measurements.Scientists dont know anything about the air of Kepler-186f, but it will be a task for future telescopes which can study for chemicals that have something to do with life.Its possible for life to live in this planet, but that doesnt mean there is life in it, Barclay said.So far, scientists have found nearly 1,800 planets in the universe.The past year has seen a lot of progress in the search for Earth-like planets. Kepler-186f is very important because it is the first planet that is the same temperature and is almost the same size as Earth, scientist David Charbonneau wrote in an email.（1）Scientists have already found about _ planets now.A . 500B . 186C . 1,800D . 1,801（2）Which of the following about Kepler-186f is NOT true according to the passage?A . It could have water and possible life, so perhaps we might live there.B . Its almost as hot as and as large as Earth.C . In the future, scientists will study the chemicals of it by telescope.D . Its an Earth-like planet.（3）We can probably read this article in _.A . a story bookB . a newspaperC . a text bookD . a sport magazine（4）Which of the following is the best title?A . Space research.B . Journey to space.C . Is there water and possible life in Kepler-186f?D . Scientists discover the most Earthlike planet.13. （10分）阅读理解Do you have a nickname（呢称)?Most of us do by our looks, clothing, or personality. But for cities, the meaning of their nicknames has much more than that.Many big cities have nicknames, such as New York-The Big Apple, London-The Great Smog, and Rome-The Eternal(永恒的)City. Why do cities have such nicknames?In the 1920s, there were many races in New York. People called the prizes of these race apples. Writer John J.Fitz Gerald first called New York the Big Apple, because New York is the place that many people dreamed of going to for the biggest prize of all.For Rome, as the name suggests, the answer is simple, Romans believed that no matter what happened to the world, Rome would go on forever. Rome has been an important center of power for more than 2,000 years.As for London, in the Victorian period, it had problems with its air. Later in 1952, serious air pollution made 10,000 people fall ill. But now the air of London has become better.Does that sound interesting? Does your city have a nickname?（1）Most of us get our nicknames only by our looks. （2）The Great Smog is the nickname of London. （3）The nickname of New York was given by writer Johnl.Fitz Gerald. （4）Rome has been an important center of power for 2000 years. （5）Later in 1952,the air of London became better. 14. （10分）阅读B篇短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。BGreat changes have taken place in our lives in the last century. Here are some examples:Firstly, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast and comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane.Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, machines do most of the difficult and dangerous work.Thirdly, the living conditions in the past were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people couldnt buy the things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. And many families have computers, cars and so on.Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and quality of education was much poorer. Now people can also study on the Internet at home.The development of science and technology in the world is amazing(令人惊异的). Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating(创造) new things to make our lives better and easier.（1）The underlined word “they” refers to _.

He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesnt struggle (奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it cant fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we 1ok at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His fathers death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.（1）From the story we know that the butterfly cant fly because _. A . it gets out by itselfB . the man feels sorry for itC . it doesnt want to challenge itselfD . the man helps it come out（2）Dennis example shows that success people should _. A . overcome the difficultiesB . take up business earlyC . become the leaders of tomorrowD . sell clothes from door to door（3）Which statement is TRUE? A . Young people should face challenges because they are strong.B . Losing his father made Dennis mature in a slow way.C . Rock-climbing and camping can shape the strong will.D . The most successful people dont need to struggle.（4）What is the best title for this passage? A . God Helps Those Who Help ThemselvesB . Young People Must Deal With Difficulties AloneC . Nothing Is Impossible To A Willing HeartD . Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People四、 七选五。 (共1题；共5分)16. （5分）任务型阅读Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: _Here, we look at two examplesA recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a persons hearing ability._The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly._Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing._Why does this work? Schlaug isnt sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities._Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, its also good for us in many other ways.A. It can even help sick people get better.B Music helps people solve some hearing problems.C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.E Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.G. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.五、 选词填空。 (共1题；共5分)17. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。每题仅用一次, 每空限填一词。 far , against, good, twenty, bad（1）He lives the _from school in the class, so he takes the underground. （2）She speaks English _. （3）We are going to play _another school next week （4）All of us look forward to the coming of my sisters _birthday. （5）Im afraid shes getting even _you should take her to the doctor at once. 六、 单词拼写。 (共6题；共29分)18. （10分）根据短文内容和所给中文提示，在空白处写出正确的单词，每空限填一词。 Jack was careless and he was always having accidents.
