When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you cant get online with your computer.What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.A solar storm is caused by solar flares (太阳耀斑) :large explosions (爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems (卫星系统) that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentines Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what weve seen in the past. Were not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more, SolarStorm W, a US website about space weather, warned.Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm.

But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers（天文学家）. They believe intelligent life exists（存在） somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings（人生物）.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 size-the 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 the 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 planets-the size of Mars or the Earth-in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited the Earth? Probably not, says Shostak. Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as radio signals（信号）. In fact, 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） What is the best title for Paragraph 2? A . The Age and Size of the EarthB . Our Galaxy; The Milky WayC . Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD . The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life（3） Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A . Because there were not any smaller planets.B . Because there were not any powerful telescopes.C . Because the astronomers were not interested in them.D . Because the Milky Way didnt exist at that time.（4） Why havent beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? A . Because theyre afraid of us.B . Because its a long way away.C . Because they dont want to see us.D . Because they dont know how to use radio signals.（5） What does the underlined phrase life forms in the last paragraph mean? A . Messages.B . Tools.C . Intelligent beings.D . Radio signals.5. （4分） (2019深圳模拟) 阅读理解 Do you know anything about email?Email is a kind of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication experts. Email has helped the spread of careless writing habits, says Baron, a professor at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure in emails show the growing unconcern about the way we write. Baron argues that we shouldnt forgive and forget the poor writing in emails. The more we use the email, the more it becomes the normal way of writing, the professor says.Others say that though it has poor writing, email has done what several generations (代)of English teachers couldnt do. It has made writing fashionable again.Email is a new communication technology, says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. It fills the gap (缺口)between spoken language and the formal (正式的)methods of writing. It is the purest form of written speech.Lancashire says email can help people who are usually afraid of writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because email is close to speech. Its like a circle of four or five people around a campfire, he says. Still, he accepts that this freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. The number of emails sent in a day almost is the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content (内容）of a typical email message is not often exact.（1） What can we know according to Baron? A . Email changes the way people communicate in everyday life.B . People should check the email many times before sending it.C . More people dont take the mistakes seriously when writing an email.D . Email has become a normal way of writing.（2） What does the underlined word it refer to? A . Email.B . The poor writing.C . The good writing.D . The communication technology.（3） Ian Lancashire thinks . A . email makes writing become popular again B . it is helpful for people to use email to express themselvesC . emails are easier to write than lettersD . people should remember the mistakes in emails（4） Whats the main idea of this passage? A . People should stop using email to communicate.B . People have different opinions about email.C . People should learn to write email correctly.D . People have realized the importance of good writing.三、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)6. （5分） 选用方框里的词组并用其适当形式完成下列句子。get lost, have the flu, go by, lots of fun, get to, show you the way（1） If you dont have a map, you may _in a big city. （2） Luckily, a kind lady told me how _the theatre. （3） Jack went to see the doctor, because he _. （4） You will _a library when you come to my school. （5） Dont worry.
