It is a planet that could support life.This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century - in time for people alive today to see it.An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called Proxima Centauri. The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B. It moves around its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11 days.American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013, scientists best guess was that there are about one billion (1,000 million) earths in space.Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms (确认) the discovery of a planet, but also increases the number of other possible“earths” greatly.Boss said it is possible, even likely, that most stars have at least one earth-like planet, which he considers surprising.So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy (银河系). That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion earths.This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. I am 65, he said, but I expect to still be alive when it happens.31 . When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B?AIn about eighty years.BIn about 4. 2 years.CIn about eleven days.DIn about one billion years.32 . In the fourth paragraph, the writer thinks that _ is necessary for life.AwaterBlightCairDwind33 . What does the underlined word This stand for in the last paragraph?AScientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.BThere are far more earth-like planets than people thought.CProxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.DThe Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.34 . What does Alan Boss mean by saying but I expect to still be alive when it happens?AHis health is in good state and hes sure he will live a long life.BScience is developing much faster than ever in recent years.CScientists may soon find fact that theres life on other planets.DAmerica is far ahead of other countries in space research.You like rats? You must be kidding. Everyone hates rats. But rats may soon be mans new good friend.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue (营救，救援) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).35 . Where do you think you can find this passage.AIn a magazine about toys. BIn a history book.CIn a newspaper about science.DIn an advertisement.36 . In the writers opinion, rats may become mans new friend because _.Athey can be food for peopleBthey are lovelyCthey can completely replace mans rescue jobsDthey can help rescue people after an earthquake37 . Which of the following is NOT true?ARats dont need electricity.BRats are better than robots when smelling.CRats are as clever as radios.DRats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.38 . Which is the best title of this passage?AWays of saving peopleBRatsCRescue dogsDRats for rescue四、根据首字母、中文提示填空单词拼写根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。39 . The house is always empty.
