21、 welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below 50 and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enoug
22、h ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact
23、, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists. Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun“s heat in the planet“s atmosphere
24、. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in specia

They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.（分数：10.00）(1).Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because _.（分数：2.00）A.there is no life there nowB.there is a large amoun

Being a good youth, one should have those factors:
36、 the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people aro
37、und us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those peopl
38、e you don“t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one“s country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots“ by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact
39、, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage really wants to tell us that _.（分数：2.00）A.what the meaning of “patriots“ isB.the qualities a good youth should

42、need them to doD.protect their family and country八、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or
43、crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is shown i
44、n much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English i
45、t means surprise. In Chinese “surprise“ can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!“ Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in
46、 America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people“s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, _.（分数：2.00）
47、A.we can hardly understand what people“s gestures meanB.we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC.words can be better understood by older peopleD.gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not(2).People“s facial expression
48、s may be misunderstood because _.（分数：2.00）A.people of different ages may have different understandingB.people have different culturesC.people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different wayD.people of different countries speak different languages(3).In the same culture, _.（分数：2.00）A.peo
49、ple have different ability to understand and express feelingsB.people have the same understanding of somethingC.people never fail to understand each otherD.people are equally intelligent(4).From this passage, we can conclude that _.（分数：2.00）A.words are used as frequently as gesturesB.words are often found difficult to understandC.words and gestur
