题目内容
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers（探险者） landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the“moon people” they met. In turn, the“moon people” expressed their surprise.“Why,” they asked,“are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the“moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The“Channel”, a tunnel（遂道） connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Janpan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground system, called“Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome（太阳能）would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells'“moon people” would agree. Would you?
(1) The explorers in H.G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the“moon people”________.
[ ]
A．knew so much about the earth
B．understood their language
C．lived in so many underground cities

[ ]
A．Discovering the moon's inner space

C．Meeting the“moon people” again
D．Traveling to outer space
(3) What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
[ ]
A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C．Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D．Tunnels, gardens, offices.
(4) What would be the best title for the text? ________.
[ ]
A．Alice Cities--Cities of the Future
B．Space Travel with H.G. Wells
C．Enjoy Living Underground
D．Building Down, Not Up

(1) 该题是一个细节题。从第一段第二句中“When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.”能够间接得出“moon people lived in so many underground cities.”故选项C正确。A、B、D的内容文中没有提到。(2) 该题为推测词义题，主要考查考生根据上下文推测代词所指代内容的能力。由第二段可知“it”指“the question that the moon people asked”,而the question是指第一自然段中“moon people”asked“are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space？”从而得出it是指使用地球内部空间，所以选B。(3) 从第三段中，“Tunnels”,“car parks”,“shopping areas”都是属于“underground systems”。可以得出正确答案为B。(4) 该题是一个文章主旨题。在短文最后一段的第一句中，点明上本文的主旨“Supporters of underground development say that building down rather that building up is a good way to use the earth's space.”由此句可知正确答案为D。 |
