　　“Billy! It is February 25, 2099, seven o'clock. Time to get up and go to school，” said the clock-robot in a mental voice. Then the kitchen-robot gave him toast and eggs. Billy was amazed. While he was eating, the whole wall became a TV screen and Billy thought that it was great having robots to do everything for him. Billy ate his meal, watching a TV show. When he finished eating, the clothes-robot gave him his clothes very fast and dressed him. Then Billy went off to school.

　　When Billy went outside, he saw a car with no driver waiting for him. The car said, “Hello, I will be driving you to school every day. Now would you please show your school ID card？” said the car. So Billy showed the car his school ID card and got in. The car began to talk to Billy about his school and his schoolwork. After that the car said, “I will check your homework today because you will have a very, very important lesson to learn in school today. Please put your homework on the blackboard.” Billy did so.

　　The car checked Billy's homework and then said, “Well done! You are a great student. All of your homework is correct.” When they got to school, Billy said to the car, “Goodbye. See you later.” The car said to Billy, “Good luck in your school.” Billy got into the classroom and took his seat at the front of the room. Then his teacher came in and said, “Welcome, children! Today we will have a hard but important lesson—‘How do robots help a human being？’…”

　　16．What's the best title of the passage?

　　The plan: turn Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields, and then fill it with creatures(生物) from the earth.This idea may sound like something from a science fiction (科幻小說), but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers.

　　This suggested future for the “red planet” will be the main topic for discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA (美國宇航局) this week.Leading researchers as well as science fiction writers will attend the event.It comes as NASA is preparing a multi-billion-dollar Mars research programme.“Turning Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction，”said Dr Michael Meyer, NASA's senior scientist for astrobiology (太空生物學)．“Now, with scientists exploring the reality, we can ask what are the real possibilities of changing Mars.”

　　Most scientists agree that Mars could be turned into a little earth, although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal.

　　But many experts are shocked by the idea.“We are destroying our own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining another planet，” said Paul Murdin, of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UK.Over the past months, scientists have become increasingly confident they will find Martian life forms.Europe and America's robot explorers have found proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large amounts on the planet.

　　In addition, two different groups of scientistsannounced on March 28 that they had found signs of methane (甲烷) in the Martian atmosphere (大氣)．The gas is a waste product of living creatures and could be produced by microbes (微生物) living in the red planet's soil.

　　But scientists such as Dr Lisa Pratt, a biologist at Indiana University, say that these microbes will be put in danger by the little earth project.“Before we have even discovered if there is life on Mars, we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all these native life forms, all the strange microbes that we hope to find buried in the soil，” said Dr Pratt.This view is shared by Monica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum, London.“We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the precious information we are looking for.” she said, “This is just wrong.”

　　20．The passage is about________.

　　A．a plan turning Mars into a little earth

　　B．the necessity of changing Mars

　　C．Mars supporting life

　　D．finding water in the Mars

　　21．We can infer from the passage that________.

　　A．water is a crucial factor for life

　　B．the project will have little effect on the native life forms supposed to live on the Mars

　　C．Monica Grady is in favour of carrying out the little earth project

　　D．the idea turning Mars into a little earth is nothing but a science fiction

　　22．Which of the following supports the conclusion of microbes living in the Mars soil?

　　A．Scientists found liquid water in the Mars.

　　B．Scientists found signs of methane in the Martian

　　atmosphere.

　　C．Scientists found a lot of good soil on the Mars.

　　D．Scientists found some creatures living on the Mars.

　　Ⅲ.短文改錯

　　假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文。文中共有10處語言錯誤，每句中最多有兩處。錯誤涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。

　　增加：在缺詞處加一個漏詞符號(∧)，并在其下面寫出該加的詞。

　　刪除：把多余的詞用斜線()劃掉。

　　修改：在錯的詞下劃一橫線(____)，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。

　　注意：1. 每處錯誤及修改均僅限一詞；

　　2. 只允許修改10處，多者(從第11處起)不計分。

　　Time and tide wait

　　no man. My mother is becoming a middle-age woman quietly. She had been busy running after us all the years. My father is very busy every day outside. But the heavy burden falls on my mother’s shoulder. Because my school is far from my home, I have to go to school by the train and my mother sees me off at the station every time. I often choose a seat where is close to the window, so I can see her.However, I always can’t help run tears from my eyes. All the buildings and people outside the window disappear. I wave gentle to my mother and I look at her till the view of her back disappears. Up to now, even if he is busy, she still does it as usual.The view of my mother’s back will never change in my heart.

　　課時作業(二十三)

　　Ⅰ.1.B　考查交際用語。句意：“好啦，親愛的，我得起程了。”“千萬小心點，愿上帝保佑你在利比亞平平安安。”此題很容易錯選送行時的常用語：have a nice trip。但要去的地方是利比亞，一個充滿動亂、很危險的地方，因此他(她)不可能是去游玩享樂的，因此A、C兩項都不恰當。后者在送行時最應該說的是祝前者在利比亞平平安安。

　　2．C　考查介詞短語搭配。句意：火車以每小時120公里的速度行駛。在表達“以……的速度”時候．應用at a/the speed of。

　　3．C　考查非謂語動詞。句意：要說出來真的很令人害羞，但是在會上受到老板責問時我說謊了。 “when＋分詞”作狀語，question為及物動詞，意為“對……提出疑問”，故應用過去分詞形式表示其與主語之間有被動含義。

　　4．D　考查狀語從句的省略。句意：當問到當今最大的問題之一時，許多人說正面臨能源危機，并且它也正威脅著人類的生存。D項在此處表被動，相當于when they are asked。

　　5．C　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：在醫科大學學習了五年后，簡在鄉村從事醫生的工作。take up意為“從事”，可根據as a doctor判斷。

　　6．D　考查名詞辨析。句意：他臉上的表情向我表明他生氣了。impression “印象，印記”；appearance “外貌，露面”；expression “神色，表情，表達”，此處是指他臉上的表情。

　　7．B　考查非謂語動詞。句意：托尼既驚訝又高興，站起來接受了這個獎項。分析句子結構以及and后的并列詞happy可以看出，此處是需要形容詞作狀語，說明主語托尼目前的心理狀態。

　　8．A　考查非謂語動詞。句意：大部分被邀請參加聚會的藝術家來自南非。此處是過去分詞作后置定語，表示完成和被動。這里藝術家是被邀請的，故用invited。

　　9．D　考查連詞。句意：格拉斯哥的生活花銷在英國是最低的，但是生活的質量可能是最高的之一。根據句中的among the lowest in Britain和probably one of the highest可知前后的意義存在對比，while用作并列連詞，可用于對比的情況，意為“而，但是”。

　　10．B　考查名詞性從句與強調句式。句意：不是你所說的而是你所做的讓我生氣。本文第一空為與not what you said并列的主語從句；第二空為強調句的that，強調并列的主語從句not what you said but what you did。

　　11．A　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：充足的蔬菜和水果會加快你的康復。speed up加快，加速；sweep up打掃；put up舉起，張貼，建起。

　　12．A　考查介詞短語搭配。句意：一瞬間，他想到了曾讓他傷心的愛。for an instant 瞬間。

　　13．C　考查consider的用法。句意：你知道是誰被認為發明了電話嗎？由于consider表示“考慮，打算”，其后接動名詞，本題易誤選A或B。但是這里的consider“認為”用作被動語態，其后應是補充說明who的。由于invent的動作在consider之前發生，故應用不定式的完成式。

　　14．A　考查動詞的時態。句意：我們很久未收到戴安娜的來信了。你認為她會發生什么事呢？ happen后接to，此題應用現在完成時態表示與現在有關的情況。本題是一特殊句型，為雙重疑問句，做題時也可把do you think看作插入成分。

　　15．C　考查冠詞用法。句意：從一萬米高的地方跳出飛機是一次非常令人興奮的經歷。前一空格中不定冠詞與可數名詞單數形式連用表示類別；因本題中experience被exciting修飾，表示“一次經歷”，其前應該用不定冠詞。

　　Ⅱ.A

　　未來的生活會是什么樣的呢？文章通過一個學生未來的生活，向我們展示了一個全自動化的未來世界。

　　16．C　主旨大意題。文章所敘述的是，在未來社會機器人幫助我們人類處理日常事務的故事。

　　17．C　事實細節題。由第一段的Then the kitchen-robot gave him toast and eggs.可知。

　　18．B　事實細節題。由第二段可知。

　　19．C　事實細節題。由最后一段可知，作者并沒有說上課的老師也是機器人，所以C項錯誤。

　　B

　　本文是議論文，描繪了把紅色火星改造成藍色的“生命天堂”的宏偉規劃，綜述了科學家對這個火星改造工程所持的不同觀點。

　　20．A　主旨大意題。根據第一段第一句The plan: turn Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields, and then fill it with creatures from the earth.可知這篇短文主要講的是火星改造計劃的設想。

　　21．A　推理判斷題。根據第四段…scientists have become increasingly confident they will find Martian life forms.Europe and America's robot explorers have found proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large amounts on the planet.的內容，我們知道科學家越來越相信火星上存在生命，因為有證據表明火星土壤中存在大量的水，故可斷定水是生命存在的關鍵要素。

　　22．B　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段…The gas is a waste product of living creatures and could be produced by microbes living in the red planet's soil.可知，火星大氣層中存在甲烷的跡象，而甲烷是活著的動物產生的廢物，據此科學家推斷這可能是生活在火星上的微生物產生的。故可得出結論：火星上可能存在微生物，主要證據是在火星大氣層中發現了甲烷的跡象。
