23、ed movie Mars Needs Moms, a young boy named Milo finds himself in this exact difficult situation. The aliens want to steal Milos mothers “momness” for their own young. Now its up to the 9-year-old to get his mom back before she is lost forever. Every good action movie has a bad guy. The villain (反派角
24、色 ) in this film is the Martian Supervisor, played by Mindy Sterling. The Supervisor has an icy cold heart. Remarkably, Sterling acted out almost all of her scenes in a special Martian language created just for the movie. “Learning Martian was a piece of cake,” Sterling said. “There wasnt too much t
25、o learn; sometimes, I just made it up!” Anyone who has a mother will be moved by this movie. In fact, anyone who loves someone will be moved by this movie. Maybe it is because the story was inspired by a real-life event. The movie is based on a novel by prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed. He
26、 wrote the book after a dinner-table incident between his wife and son, who was then 4 years old. That night, Breatheds son had thrown his broccoli into the air and rushed out of the room angrily, yelling at his mother on the way out. Breathed told his son, “You might think differently about your mo
27、m if she were kidnapped by Martians.” He wrote the novel that same evening. All kids get into arguments with their parents. The fights may be about homework, chores or eating vegetables. Mars Needs Moms tells us to look past these silly disagreements and to remember the importance of family and the
28、things that really matter. 【小题 1】 In the movie Mars Needs Moms the aliens want to _. A kill Milos mother B take Milo as their kid C make Milos mother their kids mom D send their kids to Milos family 【小题 2】 To Mindy Sterling, learning Martian language is _.

But for Michael Rampino, its all in a days wo
31、rk. Rampino is a volcanologist, a scientist who studies volcanoes and how they affect our planet. Rampino has been close to red-hot lava flows (熔岩流 ) in Hawaii and explosive volcanoes in Indonesia. He knows when to get close to an active volcano and when to back away. Rampino wasnt always a volcanol
32、ogist. He worked for NASA for seven years. He studied rocks until he began to research climate change and the effects that volcanoes have on climate. He became interested in the subject. “Once I started working with volcanoes,” Rampino said, “I was hooked.” Rampino is a professor at New York Univers
33、ity. As part of his job, he travels to areas where volcanoes have been active. “Active” means they have erupted within the past few centuries and probably will erupt again. Rampino studies the deposits (沉积物 ) of ash and other materials from the eruptions. The ash may hold clues to what happened to t
34、he Earth in the distant past. It may also help scientists predict what could happen to Earths climate in the future. Rampino doesnt work alone. He works with a team of scientists who use computers to stimulate (模拟 ) the effects volcanoes have on Earths atmosphere. Being a volcanologist may be hard w
35、ork, but its also fun. “Its cool traveling the world studying volcanoes,” Rampino says. When he talks to students about his work, he tells them that his goal is “to understand the events that have shaped Earths history.” 【小题 1】 To Rampino, being close to active volcanoes is _. A adventurous but mean

B History. C People. D Business. 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 C Today, over six billion
38、 people live on the planet. This means that there are very few places on Earth with no people. One place that has very few people is at the bottom of the Earth. In Antarctica, the icy continent surrounding the South Pole, you will not find anyone who lives there all the time. First, Antarctica is th
39、e coldest place on Earth. For example, it can be l30 in the winter. Humans cannot live in this kind of environment. Because it is so cold, very few plants or animals live there. This means there are no farms and no places to find wild plants or animals to eat. Second, Antarctica can be dangerous. Ma
40、ny people think that it is safe to travel to Antarctica in the summer months when it is warmer. However, Antarctica is mostly ice, so when its summer, the ice melts. When the ice melts, the ice can break. So, people cannot travel around Antarctica during the summer. If the ice breaks, they could fal
41、l into the water and die. Another serious problem in Antarctica is the sun. Because Antarctica is mostly ice, there are no trees so there is no shade. Also, the ground is mostly white ice so the sun bounces off (反射 ) it. The light from the sky and the light from the ground can burn peoples skin and
42、hurt their eyes. People must be very careful in this situation. For example, they must wear sunglasses to protect their eyes. They must also cover their hands and faces all the time. Although Antarctica is a tough place to live, explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believ
43、e that Antarctica at one time was a land of swam (沼泽 ) and forests. 【小题 1】 This text is mainly about _. A the discovery of Antarctica B how people travel around Antarctica C different animals found in Antarctica D why it is difficult to live in Antarctica 【小题 2】 We can learn from the text that _. A
44、Antarctica is a place with no animals B no people can survive in Antarctica C Antarctica is colder than any other continent on Earth D the temperature in Antarctica is below zero all the time 【小题 3】 When is the most dangerous time to travel around Antarctica A In spring. B In summer. C In autumn. D
45、In winter. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 B 短文改错 文中共有 10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（ ），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划 一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意： 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改 10处，多者（从第 l1 处起）不计分。 At the age of ten, I went on a school trip with my class to the zoo in Beijing.
