【解析】【1】由于前面提到10,9,8……是火箭发射前倒计时的声音，所以用“听起来像”。

【2】根据engine“发动机”判断，此处为“点火”，所以用hire。fire“雇用”；break“打破”；rush“冲”，都不合语义。

【3】escape“逃脱；脱离”；根据前面的“给它所必需的能力”判断，此处为“火箭脱离地球的引力”。

【4】universe, world和stars前面都要加the。space“太空”，前面不加冠词。

【5】stay up“呆在上面”；put up“举起”；keep up“保持”；take up“占用”。根据下文的falling down判断要选A。

【6】might“或许”，表示“可能性”。此处表示“你或许会问”。dare“敢”；should/ought to“应该”，与语义不符。

【7】side“边上”，top“顶部”；middle“中间”；end“末端”，只能是把石头“绑在”绳子的末端。

【8】watch“观看”；notice“注意到”；examine“仔细检查”；observe“观察”。下文提到的是转动绳子时所“注意到”的情况。

【9】随着绳子的转动，绳子伸直，也就自然变得“紧”了。根据下文的tighten也可看出该答案。

【10】下文解释的绳子变紧的原因，所以用why。

【11】provide“提供”。provide an answer to...“给……提供了答案”。

【12】根据stay up(高高在上)看，后面的意思应该与此相反，所以填fall down“掉下来”。

【13】此处指“有两种力作用在石头上”。force“力”；power“能力；权力”；strength“力量”；energy“精力”。

【14】根据下文的take the stone away from you判断，另一种是把石头朝你这边“拉”的力。drag表示“拖”沉重的东西。

【15】while“当……的时候”，表示动作同时发性。

【16】therefore“因此”。根据语义上下文为顺接关系，“两种力平衡，因此石块持续转动”。

【17】根据下文的“绳子会飞走”，判断，此处应为“松开绳子”，所以用release。

【18】根据下文看，一种是把石块拉向你的力，一种是把石块拉走的力，所以这两种力是“相反的”。

【19】由于是两种力，两者中的“另一个”要用the other。another表示“三者或三者以上中的另一个”。

【20】rotation“旋转”，既然是旋转，所以要“围绕”着地球。

【题目】Australia’s koalas could be wiped out within 30 years unless urgent action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply.

The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest calculations suggest there could now be as few as 43,000.

The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.

The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them.

Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia’s east and south, are very fussy (爱挑剔的) about what types of the leaves they eat.

Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It’s really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don’t have any koalas.”

She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government’s Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala’s status as one of the country’s favourite animals would not be a factor. “There’s a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don’t consider that,” Mr Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency.

【1】The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.

A. the forests are being damaged heavily

B. the environment is being polluted seriously

C. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas

D. the number of koalas is dropping quickly

【2】Global warming is an important cause of koalas’ reduction because _____.

A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather

B. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value

C. koalas cannot get enough water to drink

D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather

【3】According to Bob Beeton, _____.

A. koalas are his favourite animals

B. a decision will be made to protect koalas

C. they needn’t pay special attention to koalas

D. koalas needn’t be protected at all

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

There are no signs of little green men on Mars. But new discoveries offer a bit more hope that some form of life existed there in the past --- and perhaps is still there in the present. Methane gas(甲烷) and water have been found on the Red Plane. The presence of both suggests at least the possibility of life.

According to a new report in the journal, Science, the Mars rover, Curiosity, has detected spikes of methane in the Martian atmosphere. This gas is also found in the Earth’s atmosphere, and comes from animal and plant life, as well as from the environment itself. If there’s methane in Mar’s atmosphere, where is it coming from? Scientists aren’t sure. But it marks a big change. In September 2013, Curiosity found almost no traces of methane in the Martian air. Just weeks later, however, the rover picked up a whiff of(一点点) the gas.

The scientists don’t know whether the methane spikes are caused by some form of biological matter or by the geology of the planet. Christopher Chyba, a professor of astrophysics and international affairs at Princeton, says it’s best not to be too hopeful about biology on the Red Planet. “Hopes for biology on Mars have had a way of disappearing once Martian chemistry has been better understood,” he says. “But figuring out what’s responsible for the methane is clearly a key astrobiological objective --- whatever the answer turns out to be.”

The discovery of water on Mars is nothing new. For decades, scientists have had evidence that it flowed across the surface of the planet billions of years ago. But according to another new report in Science, while the surface water on Mars seems to be long gone, there’s a lot more of it left than most of people realize.

This report is also based on findings from Curiosity. Paul Mahaffy, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, led the study. He says there is enough water on Mars “to cover the surface to a depth of about 165 feet.”

It is not easy to reach this water. Most of it is locked up in ice at the planet’s poles.

【1】Why do scientists think there might be life on Mars?

A. Because the Mars rover has detected water on the planet.

B. Because there is evidence that little green men exist on the planet.

C. Because the Mars rover has found some plants on the planet.

D. Because both methane and water have been found on the planet.

【2】What is the attitude of professor Christopher Chyba towards life on Mars?

A. Optimistic B. Negative

C. Neutral D. Indifferent

【3】The water on Mars _______________.

A. still flows on its surface

B. covers the whole planet

C. is locked up in ice at the planet’s poles

D. only existed on it billions of years ago

【4】In which column of a website can we read this text?

A. Culture B. Entertainment

C. Science D. Education
