)A．Topredictthefuture.B．Toshowhisconcern.C．Tointroducethetopic.D．Toadvertisespaceliving.答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据第一段可推知，此处引用史蒂芬·霍金的话来引出人类需要将领地延伸至太空以确保将来的安全，引入了本文的话题。故选C项。29．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“terraform”inParagraph2probablymean？(

)A．Thebudgetoftheprojectiscost-effective.B．GreenhousegasesareamustforlivingonMars.C．HawaiiisaplacewithMars-likeenvironment.D．HumanslivingonMarswillbearealityinthenot-too-distantfuture.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“OneideaforwarmingMarsistobuildfactoriestherethatproducegreenhousegases.Thiscouldtakemanycenturies.However,itshouldleadtorainfallandthegrowthofplants,resultinginmoreairthatpeoplecanbreathe.”可知，在火星上生活必须要有温室气体。故选B。31．Whatcouldbeasuitabletitleforthetext？(

)A．LifeonMars?B．HomesonMars?C．MarsExplorationD．EscapefromPlanetEarth答案：B解析：标题归纳题。根据文章大意可知，本文主要讲述了人类为了开拓生存空间，提出移民火星的计划，并为此做出的一些准备。从原文第一段中“Someoftheworld'smostimportantscientiststhinktheideaofpeoplelivingonMarswillcometrueoneday.”以及第二、三段首句均提到科学家为人类能够在火星上建立家园所作出的努力和尝试，以及对人类未来居住在火星上问题的推测。综合判断，选项B“在火星上安家？”为最佳标题。故选B。DIn2019,tinygreenplantsspouted（发芽）

)A．Lowtemperature.B．Unfamiliarsurroundings.C．Toomuchsunlight.D．Notenoughwater.答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，月球夜晚的低温是导致植物死亡的原因，因为航天器上的加热系统无法长时间维持温度，导致植物被冻死。故选A。33．Howcanaplantblossominspace？(

)A．Letitgrowinnaturalenvironment.B．Markitsgrowtheveryday.C．Provideitwithartificiallights.D．Equipitwithawaterpump.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Plantsareplantedinsidespecialroomsequippedwithartificiallightspretendingtobethesun.Seedsareplantedinnutrient-richsubstancewithfertilizers（化肥）.”可知，植物被种植在配备有人造光源的特殊房间内，这些光源模拟了太阳的光照。由此可知，太空中，由于缺乏自然光照，植物需要在配备有人造光源的特殊房间内生长，以模拟太阳的光照条件，从而促进植物的生长和开花。故选C。34．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“soothing”inthelastparagraphmean？(

)A．Boring. B．Relaxing.C．Disappointing. D．Satisfying.答案：B解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文“canbebeneficialforgoodmentalhealth”可知，上下文表明，园艺被描述为对人们的心理健康有镇静或放松的作用。因此“soothing”被用来描述那些能够带来安慰并帮助减轻压力或焦虑的活动。故选B。35．WhatcanweinferfromRobinson'swords？(

)A．Plantingisahardworkingtaskforastronauts.B．Onlyproducingaflowerbringsastronautsjoy.C．Itisapitythatsomeplantsarenotcultivated.D．Bothdelightandsadnessexistinplanting.答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘There'sagreatdealofjoyingrowingandwateringtheplantsandproducingaflower，’Robinson,theISS(InternationalSpaceStation)scientistsays.‘Therecanalsobesomerealsadnessifplantsyou'vebeencultivatingarenotsuccessfulandaredying.’”可知，这句话直接表明了在种植和照顾植物的过程中，既有快乐也有悲伤。因此，我们可以推断出种植中既存在喜悦也存在悲伤。故选D。阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Asweallknow,theuniverseincludestheSunandEarth,theplanetsandmoons,thegalaxies,starsandotherformsofmatterandenergy.36(

提到一个尚未得到解答的问题。后文“Othersbelievethat...discovered.”提到了另一些人的看法。因此G选项“有些人认为地球是宇宙中唯一有智慧生命的行星。”符合语境，G选项中“Some”与下文构成“some...others...”，表示“一些……另一些……”。故选G。40．答案：F解析：空处是本段的主旨句。根据后文可知，本段主要是关于对未来宇宙的样子的预测，故F选项“科学家也在试图确定宇宙的未来可能会是什么样子。”符合语境。故选F。阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。SalmanNawazDhair,anexperiencedengineeratLarsenandToubro,quithisjobtobecomeanordinarytaxidriverforpeopleinemergencies.Heproudlyclaimsthatover500peoplehave
