阅读下面的短文,根据所给语境,按要求完成下列各题。
After Pluto (冥王星) was found in 1930, people took it as the ninth planet in our solar system(太阳系). But it isn’t like other planets. It is smaller and has an strange orbit(轨道). On August 24,2006, scientists said,“Pluto is not a planet.”
About 2,500 scientists met in Prague(布拉格,捷克首都). At first, some of them said that there would be 12 planets in our solar system. In the end, the scientists said that only Mercury(水), Venus(金), Earth, Mars(火), Jupiter(木), Saturn(土), Uranus(天王)and Neptune(海王)are the planets in the solar system. ②Each of these planets has its own orbit, and of the planets is big enough to be a planet. Pluto’s orbit overlaps (重叠) Neptune’s and it is smaller than the other planets. ③So Pluto is classified(划归/分类) as a dwarf planet (矮行星), but no longer a planet in the solar system.
Students at school will have new schoolbooks to learn the new solar system!
小题1:根据①处完成下面的句子(每空一词)
Before people _______ Pluto in 1930, there were _______ planets in our solar system.
小题2:根据②出完成下面的句子(每空一词)。
Every planet not only has its own _______ , but also is ______ enough.
小题3:将③处译成汉语。
—————————————————————————————
答案

小题1:found, eight
小题2:orbit, big(large)
小题3:所以(因此/因而)冥王星被划归到(划分为)矮行星,而不再是太阳系的(一颗)行星。
解析

试题分析:本文介绍了冥王星在1930年被人们认为是太阳系的第九大行星。但是,在2006年8月24日,科学家又说冥王星不是一颗行星。因为每一颗行星都有自己的轨道,而且自己足够大能成为一颗行星。所以冥王星被划归到矮行星,而不再是太阳系的一颗行星。
小题1:根据After Pluto (冥王星) was found in 1930, people took it as the ninth planet in our solar system(太阳系)可知在1930年,冥王星被发现之后,人认为它是太阳系中第九大行星,也就是说在人们发现冥王星之前,人们认为太阳系里有八颗行星。故第一空为found, 第二空为eight。
小题2:根据②Each of these planets has its own orbit, and of the planets is big enough to be a planet. 可知每一颗行星都有自己的轨道,而且自己足够大能成为一颗行星。故第一空为orbit, 第二空为big或large。
小题3:根据is classified(划归/分类) as a dwarf planet (矮行星)的意思是被划归为矮行星。no longer的意思是不再是。in the solar system.的意思是在太阳系。故这句话的意思是:所以(因此/因而)冥王星被划归到(划分为)矮行星,而不再是太阳系的(一颗)行星。

举一反三
Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldn"t see any sign that food was once grown there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official(官员)at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部).
"Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the country"s ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.
Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China"s farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares(公顷) of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.
小题1:The article seems to tell us that_____________.
A.farmland is in danger
B.countryside is turned into towns
C.farmland has been sold
D.Chinese cities are growing fast
小题2:From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about ____________.
A.China"s development is too slow
B.the population of China is growing fast
C.Chinese people have worse life than before
D.the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland
小题3:What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?
A.120 million hectares.
B.121.8 million hectares.
C.2.67 million square kilometers.
D.Millions of square kilometers.
小题4:Which statement of the following is NOT true?
A.Yang Nan"s new home is in a northern area of Beijing.
B.The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.
C.Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.
D.Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in China"s farmland.
小题5:What will the government do with the problem of the drop in China"s farmland?
A.Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.
B.Government will order not to build new towns any more.
C.Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.
D.Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert.

任务型阅读 阅读短文,按要求完成各题。(5分)
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars suck us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

North American back bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usuallyrun away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learnabout these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and usedrugs to help them go to sleep.

Smartphone ,poor sight
Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier . But have you ever thought about what they mean to you eyes?
According to a study ,half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them . There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance ,your eyes automatically blink a certain number of times. However ,when you look at things closer  to your face ,the blinking slows down . This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using  smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep . If you look at a bright screen while your pupils become larger ,too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma.
While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smartphone,there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold  your phone at least 30 continues away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following :look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

There are many kinds of pollution around us,          air pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution and light pollution. They are bad         our health in many ways.
Burning gas, oil and coal creates air pollution. It can cause sore eyes and          problems.
With the increase of pollution and the development of industry, litter is everywhere. It makes our environment dirty. People put lots of rubbish in the land. Farmers use too many         in the fields. They destroy the soil. So soil pollution has become serious.
Noise pollution can make people        . For example, people may lose their hearing if they work in a         place for a long time. Too much noise can cause high blood pressure         .
Working for a long time in strong, changeable light        cause some kinds of illnesses. It makes people feel         and is especially bad for the eyes.
With        pollution, our planet will become greener and our health will be better. Let’s be greener people.
