In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers 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 travelling 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 “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems 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 (太阳能穹顶) 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. understood their language          B. knew so much about the earth

C. lived in so many underground cities  D. were ahead of them in space technology

2.What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph2) refer to?

A. Travelling to outer space.           B. Using the earth’s inner space.

C. Meeting the “moon people” again    D. Discovering the moon’s inner 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

下面是生活中的几条小建议,有5处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各条建议的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
【小题1】 You can try your hardest, you can do everything and say everything, but sometimes people just aren’t worth trying over anymore, and they aren’t worth worrying about. It’s important to know when to let go of someone who only brings you down. The moment someone tells you that you’re not good enough is the moment you know you’re better off than they are, and better off without them.
【小题2】Remember that the way you’ve always done it isn’t the only way. It’s unlikely that one of the things you’ll regret when you’re 70 is not having consumed enough beer in your 20s, or not having bought enough $6 lattes from Starbucks, or not having frequented the same night club for years. But the regret of missing out on opportunities is a real feeling. You’ve figured out drinking and going out. You’ve had enough lattes. It’s time to figure something else out. Every corner you turn or street you walk down has a new experience waiting for you. You just have to see the opportunity and be adventurous enough to run with it.
【小题3】Some of the great moments in your life won’t necessarily be the things you do; they’ll be things that happen to you. That doesn’t mean you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action, and you will. But don’t forget that on any day, you can step out the front door and your whole life can change in an instant – for better or worse. To an extent, the universe has a plan that’s always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings and it starts to rain – it’s a scary thought, but it’s part of life’s cycle. All these little parts of the machine, constantly working – sometimes forcing you to struggle, and sometimes making sure you end up exactly in the right place at the right time.
【小题4】Life is too short to wait. Every new day is another chance to change your life. Every great accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Trust that little voice inside your head that says, “What if…” and then GO DO IT. You would be surprised how often “what if” works. And no, you’re not obligated to win every time. You’re obligated to keep trying – to do the best you can do every day – to be better than you were yesterday.
【小题5】 Your ideas and choices don’t have to be on everyone’s list. Regardless of the opinions of others, at the end of the day the only reflection staring back at you in the mirror is your own. Make sure you’re proud of who that person is. Approach others with the belief that you’re a good person, whether they respond positively or not. It’s normal to want the people around you to like you, but it becomes a self-imposed burden when too much of your behavior is designed to constantly comfort others.

A.Always keep in mind that life is somewhat unpredictable.
B.Trust your instincts on new opportunities.
C.Introduce a little variety into your routine.
D.Accept some responsibility for the way others treat you.
E. Seek less approval from others. 
F. Let the wrong people go.
