for one thing, the earth has 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 so hot because their surfaces are baked(炙烤) in the sun.the farthest planets are cold balls.when the earth developedwhich scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years agomany gases covered the earth. the gases caused the earth to be hot. but something wonderful happened. the temperature was just right for thick clouds 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.another planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. that planet is mars. 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, as 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 sight on mars is driedup 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.语篇导读本文为说明文。地球适合人类生存在于它有足够的氧气、适宜的温度和水。科学家发现火星也存在适合人类生存的条件。1what is it on the earth that makes life possible?atemperature.bwater.coxygen.dtemperature, water and oxygen.解析 d细节理解题。根据第二段中the temperaturebreathe可知，温度、 水和氧气使地球上出现生命成为可能，故选d项。2what does the underlined phrase “the third planet” in the first paragraph refer to?athe sun. bthe moon.cthe earth. dthe mars.解析 c细节理解题。根据常识及画线词所在句后一分句均可知，距离太阳第三远的行星指的是地球，故选c项。3what should be the best title for the passage?aliving things on our earthbthe mooncliving things on the moondmars is most like the earth解析 d标题归纳题。本文先讲述的是地球适合人类生存的原因，后面对比火星和地球在环境方面的异同之处，从气温、水、空气等方面展开了具体说明，故选d项。bare humans the only animals who use the stars to navigate(导航)?humans have been looking to the heavens for thousands of years. they used the skies for help with directions. it turns out that all that time we were not alone in looking up. some birds and even seals have been shown to use the stars for navigation.new research has added one more animal to the group. wait for it! it is the dung beetle (粪金龟). dung piles are kind of like war zones. thousands of beetles are fighting for their share of the spoils. so it is pretty important that the african ballrolling species be able to quickly escape with its loot(战利品). during the day the beetles can use the sun to help them walk a straight line. and at night the moon comes in handy.but why？that is when the dung beetles turn to the stars for help. humans and birds use a single star.seals also use a single star. it is a lodestar(指路之星). it can show them the way. but the dung beetles eyes are not sensitive enough. instead they use the milky way, which helps them walk a straight line out of the dung piles. as sure as the night is dark, they move away from the competition.on a good day or night a single beetle can move about 250 times its own weight in dung. it recycles a lot of nutrients back into the soil.it kind of makes you wonder what will happen if all the stars become hidden by light pollution. dung beetles may start to lose their way. we will probably have difficulty in it, too.语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了粪金龟，即屎壳郎，是怎样利用银河系进行夜间导航的。4why is it important for dung beetles to be able to quickly escape with its loot?abecause they have to feed their young quickly.bbecause there are too many beetles competing for the same thing.cbecause if they are slow they might lose their way.dbecause if they are slow they might be killed.解析 b细节理解题。根据第三段第五、六句可知，数千只屎壳郎都在争抢同一件战利品，所以它们抢到了就要赶快逃走，故选b项。5in what way are dung beetles different from human beings in navigation?ahumans use the sun while dung beetles use the moon.bhumans use the star while dung beetles use the smell.cbeetles have more sensitive eyes than humans.dhumans use a single star while beetles use the milky way.解析 d细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，人类晚间利用单个的星星导航，而屎壳郎因为眼睛不够敏感而使用银河系导航，故选d项。6in what way does the milky way help dung beetles?ait helps them find their food quickly.bit helps them walk a straight line.cit helps them carry more dung.dit helps them win the competition.解析 b细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句可知，屎壳郎通过银河系的帮助沿着直线走出粪堆，故选b项。7what does the underlined word “spoils” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?athe dung beetles. bthe lodestar.cthe dung piles. dthe milky way.解析 c推理判断题。上文提到粪堆有点类似战场，因此屎壳郎争抢的东西指的是粪堆，故选c项。.语法填空we often think of future. we often wonder 1._the world will be like in a hundred years time.think 2._ space. perhaps a permanent station on the moon will have 3._(set) up. perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as 4._(visit). cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed, 5._(permit) long journeys through the solar system. when that time 6._(come), people will be taking holidays in space and visiting 7._ planets. great progress will have been made in medicine, too. 8._(pollute) will have been controlled in a hundred years time.all the world will have been developedeven the antarctic(南极地区). we will have used up most of the earths land to build our cities, so 9._(float) cities will have been built. the japanese have already had plans of this kind. what is more 10._(believe) is that there will be cities under the sea.语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了想象中一百年后世界的样子。1what解析 考查引
