The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio

12、and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to

13、“listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percen

14、t are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely tha

15、t one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to o

16、urs is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is li

17、kely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.1、According to the passage, how

18、 many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A5 billion B10 billion.C15 billion. D200 billion2、The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _ .Ahow scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsBwhy scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsCwhere scientists are

21、cks and soil samples from Mars before. But an ancient meteorite (陨石) found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I meteorite ever before discovered.Whats so wild about this wet discovery? It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flo

22、wing on the planets surface.It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen-the elements that make up water. But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much w

23、etter history than formerly thought.The meteorite, nicknamed Black Beauty, was found in Africas Sahara Desert in 2011. Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found. Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks fa

24、lling toward Earth long ago.Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old. Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock. Its also one of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the panels ancient surface.The samples water molecul

25、es were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it. Scientists think the meteorites hydrogen and oxygen molecules are so plentiful because water flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth, or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Marss crust.B

26、lack Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planets past. These discoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars thats being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet.1、People used to think that .Athere was little water on Mar

DIt has a history of 2.1 milli

28、on years.3、How did the scientists research Black Beauty?ABy cutting it into pieces. BBy dipping it into water.CBy burning it on a fire. DBy burying it into a desert.4、The passage is mainly about .Aa rock from the center of Mars. Ba major Martian meteorite discoveryCa new discovery on the Red Planet

29、Da number of meteorites from Red Plane23（8分） In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great wordsmith （语言大师）and playwright （剧作家）.But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting

30、influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered Chinas greatest playwright and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, and pursued a low-key career as an official until, in 1598 an

31、d aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeares large body of plays, poems and sonnets （十四行诗），Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin （紫钗记），Peony Pavilion （牡丹亭），A Dream under the Southern Bough （南柯记，and Dream of Handan（邯郸记. The Peony Pavilion is considered Tangs masterpie

32、ce. The latter three are constructed around a dream narrative, a device through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political restrictions of that time.Tang lived toward the end of the Ming Dynasty（13681644）and th

33、e popularity of his works had a good reason. Similar to Shakespeare, his success rode the wave of a renaissance （复兴）in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeares England, Tangs works became hugely popular in China too. During Tangs China, the way, in which playlets were enjoyed and performe

34、d, changed. Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tangs works benefited greatly from

35、the popularity of kunqu opera, and his playlets are considered classics of kunqu opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such as the humanity of their drama, their iconic and heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a

36、 lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1、How is the text developed?ABy analyzing data.BBy giving examples.CBy providing arguments.DBy making comparisons.2、Whats the most outstanding feature of Tangs works according to Paragraph 3 ?AThey are love stories based on

37、 real events.BThey reflect political environment at that time.CThey focus on discovering human emotions.DThey are mainly about dreams of females.3、What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 mean?ALed to.BCalled up.CSet off.DBenefited from.4、Whats the best title for the text?ATang XianzuThe Shake

38、speare of ChinaBKunqu OperaA Symbol of Chinese CultureCTang Xianzu and His WorkThe Peony PavilionDShakespeare and His Influence on Chinese Theater24（8分） In 1874 Francis Galton, a British professor, analysed a sample of English scientists and found the vast majority to be first-born sons. This led hi

39、m to theorise that first-born children enjoyed a special level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellectually. Half a century later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality. First-born children, he suggested, were more dilig

40、ent, while the later-born were more outgoing and emotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have been varied - some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often lim

41、ited to a few dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methods needed to analyse the data were simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects from those caused by family size complicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful re

42、sults.To overcome the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. Helmet Schmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain and Germany. These data sets, though collected for other purposes, included personality and intelligence tests on 20, 186 p

43、eople at different stages of their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between 29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran the whole span of adult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more,

44、 nor less, likely than their younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affect intelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more intelligent than the second 60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, this translated

45、 to a difference of 1.5 IQ points between first and second siblings. That figure agrees with previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small difference - and whether it is enough to account for Galtons original observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not d

46、eterministic. Galton was the youngest of nine.1、Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were _.Amore stableBmore sociableCmore intelligentDmore hardworking2、What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?AThe data.BThe analyses.CThe previous studies.DThe statistical methods.3、Why wa

47、s Schmukles study considered superior to previous research?AIt involved a wider age range.BIt had a much larger sample size.CIt included a larger number of countries.DIt was conducted over a longer period of time.4、Why does the author mention Galtons family background in the last paragraph?ATo confi

48、rm Galtons difficult upbringing.BTo suggest Galtons theory may not be correct.CTo compare his experience with Galtons parents.DTo explain why Galton was interested in birth order.25（10分） “Be afraid. Be very afraid,” says a character in The Fly, a horror film about a man who turns into an enormous in

49、sect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroaches, Zika-carrying mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the insect world as something to be frightened for, not frightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientifi

50、c studies have suggested that trillions of murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies and beetles are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote E.O.Wilson, a respectable entomologist, “the world would regenerate If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.”Most of

51、 the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of insect health. The immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (授粉), and are food for other animals, so a collapse in their numbers would be catastrophic.But a second look le

52、ads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a timely warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There are no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of the world. Reliable data are too scarce to declare a gl

53、obal emergency.Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapsein Europe and Americaagricultural and rural ecosystems are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect species die out, others seem to be moving into the niches (生态位) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although

54、 with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue that insect decline is yet causing significant economic damage.But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only measure of environmental health. Animals have value, independent of any direct economic contribution they may

55、 make. The more species make up an ecosystem, the more stable it is likely to be. The extinction of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference. The loss of hundreds of thousands would.And the scale of the observed decline raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain res

56、ilient (能复原的). An experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinators from fields found that plant diversity held up well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossible to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosys

57、tem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.1、What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply?AEcologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.BEcologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.CEcologists have already got ri

58、d of the prejudiced feeling about insects.DEcologists are respectful of the insects ability to regenerate themselves.2、What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 years?AThough there is a decline in the number of insects, we still have the reason to be optimistic.BBiodiversi

59、ty can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.CData collected from all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.DThe consequence of decreasing biodiversity may be more serious than we can imagine.3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo s

60、how the magical power of our mother nature.BTo analyze why insects are on the edge of extinction.CTo draw peoples attention to the decreasing insects.DTo urge the scientists to collect more data about insects.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分） A boy
