The answer is no .Venus （金星） is the one and only star that can be seen in the daytime. It shone at its brightest in the night sky on February 17th, 2017.Venus is the second planet from the sun in our solar system. It is the second brightest natural object, behind Earths moon, in the night sky. Why is it so bright?First of all, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is also covered by highly reflective （反射的）clouds, which can reflect about 70 percent of the sunlight striking（照射）it, almost twice as much asEarth does.Some called 2017 the year of Venus, because the planet is at its brightest when it goes further away from the sun, and nearer to Earth. The brightest moment happened once in February, and happened again, during daylight, on April 30th.If Venus is so bright and close to us, isnt it a better choice for human exploration than Mars? It is closer to Earth than Mars and its closer to Earth in size. The closer distance to the sun means solar power would be easier to generate （产生） as well.However, with a temperature of about 465on the surface, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system!But scientists never give up. Recently, a team of NASA and Russian scientists created new computer equipment that can stand the temperature of 480. It can work under Venus-like conditions for almost 22 days.The next step, according to the scientists, is to send a probe（探测器）to Venus by 2025.（1） Which of the following about Venus is NOT true? A . Its the only star that can be seen in the daytime.B . Its the second planet from the sun.C . Its the brightest natural object in the night sky.D .

A . it can reflect about 35 percent of the sunlightB . it goes further away from the sun and nearer to EarthC . it is closest to the sun and furthest from EarthD . the dates are February 17th and April 30th every year（3） What makes Venus a worse place for human exploration than Mars? A . The closer distance to Earth.B . The similar size to Earth.C . Too much solar power to use.D . The extremely high temperature.（4） According to the last two paragraphs, the new computer equipment . a. was created by some UK scientistsb. can stand the temperature of 480c. can work for about 22 days under Venus-like conditions d. will be sent to Venus by 2025A . abB . bcC . cdD . ad3. （6分） (2019温州模拟) 阅读理解 Youre chatting with friends on the phone, but you cant help looking through shopping websites in the meantime. Youre having lunch alone in the dining hall, but it only feels right when you start playing a show on your phone -as if its a necessary side dish. Were now living in a world that is filled with information. It seems unnatural to do only one thing at a time. Its as if were all suffering from a recent article called multitasking OCD.With news reduced to 140 characters and communication increasingly by emojis, we have developed the ability to focus our attention on several activities and devices at once, Sabry Otmani, founder of Pulpix website, once wrote. We need something exciting to keep us interested and to fight off boredom.But perhaps fighting off boredom is not the only reason.My own obsession with multitasking mainly comes from the fact that everyone around me seems to study all the time. Each minute Im not taking in something new feels like a waste of time. So I always have my headphones on, whether Im commuting, exercising or walking in the park. Im forever listening to something-a course on classical music, or on new media management, and heaven knows what else-just so I can keep up with the world.People who cant stay away from social media are known by FOMO (fear of missing out): They have to be updated about what their friends are doing and saying. But Id guess that FOFO better describes me fear of falling out.No matter what reason youre doing it for, multitasking is already a part of the modern lifestyle. Just make sure you make the most out of it.（1） In the first paragraph, the author wants to _. A . show how busy todays life isB . show that people today often feel lostC . explain what multitasking OCD is likeD . say people like to compare with each other（2） According to Sabry Otmani people today like multitasking because _. A . it can help them to communicate their ideasB . it can help them out of being boredC . they are impatient to finish one thing at a timeD . they are more able than the past generations（3） The underlined word obsession may mean _. A . interestB . knowledgeC . understandingD . worry（4） Which of the following is correct about the writer? A . She wants to stay ahead of her friends.B . She wants to have something to show off.C . She doesnt want to get left behind by others.D . She thinks it is boring to do one thing at a time.4. （6分） (2017八下厦门期中) 阅读理解(C)The government in China plans to end its one-child policy (政策) and let families have two children instead. The plan was meant to balance (平衡) population development and stop a falling birth rate (出生率).China started the one-child policy in the 1980s. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some families in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl. In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.Jiang Quanbao, a population expert, explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child, he said.At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two children policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.（1） Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy? A . Because we need a larger population.B .
