I'm convinced that humans need to leave Earth. These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death.Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into (he future is to colonize(移民于)other planets. Thal way, if a terrible disease, nuclear war or some other disaster strikes Earth, civilization as we know i( would still have a chance. Mars is one of the most attractive destinations. NASA, the United Arab Emirates, (he private company SpaccX, and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there. "Either vc spread Earth to other planets, or we will be faced with extinction,“ SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.But not everyone agrees （hat colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan. The most common argument against going is that it's just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It?s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars. One of the biggest dangers is that there is deadly radiation that ruins （he planet.Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth, like dealing with poverty or climate change. Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid（小行星）strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.In addition, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there. Mars seems uninhabited, but it could possibly host micro-organism like. Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment. Some feel that's too much of a risk to take.28. Why did the author mention NASA, the United Arab Emirates, SpaceX and Mars One?A. To explain the advanced technology in astronomy.B. Tb show growing intention of moving to Mars.C. To provide evidence fbr Hawking's theory.D. To stress the risk of dying out on Earth.29. What can vve learn from the passage?A. It is costly and risky to colonize Mars.B. Civilization is difficult to maintain on Earth.C. Poverty is the most urgent problem to handle.D. All the time and money should be spent on Earth.30. What does the underlined word "uninhabited" mean in the last paragraph?A. not steady to keep.B. not fit to live on.C. not easy to approach.D. not safe to set foot on.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Mars, Our Future Planet.B. Moving to A New Planet.C. Should We Colonize Mars?D. Stay Home or Outer Space?DDWhen people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon, an ancient poem, Prelude to Water Melody,（水调歌头）is often read for this occasion. Critics say it's probably the best poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's just focus on its most famous five lines to make sonic analysis.In the first two lines of the five, the writer is comparing the life of a man with the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carrier of emotions like nostalgia （怀|日）ad longing for family reunion. A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity, while a gloomy night may remind people of their fortunes. When （he moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones, such moments can be even more heartbreaking.Before the comparison, the poet actually complains about the seemingly “ruthless” （无情的） moon and asks her: You should have no spite （怨恨）against man, but why, when people part, arc you often full and bright? However, he soon realizes （hat no one has an easy ride, just like the moon may not always be bright. The imperfections have been going on since the beginning of time. That's why he says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.”But should we gel bogged down（陷入）by the suffering of things with which we can'I change? The poet gives his answer: Change your attitude and stay positive. So we have his everlasting line, “The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they arc, as long as the ones they love and miss arc healthy and happy, they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.To this day, people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes fbr family members and friends who can't be with them, especially during major festivals.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How we can appreciate Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.B. When we must recite （朗诵）the best Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.C. What made a poet write the best ever Mid-Autumn Day Chinese poem.D. Why a poem is the best Chinese poetry about the Mid-Autumn Day.33. Why does the poet write “ There is nothing perfect since the olden days” in the poem?A. He doesn't understand why the moon hates humans.B. He knows eventually the moon will become full again.C. He realizes life is always accompanied by imperfections.D. He understands life is too ruthless and has lost his interest in it.34. Which of the following lines is the most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 4?A. How long will （he full moon appear? Wine cup in hand I ask the sky.B. May we all be blessed with a long life; miles apart, we'll share the beauty, of the moon together.C. In spring the river rises as high as the sea; with the river's tide uprises the moon bright.D. Looking up,I find the moon bright; bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.35. We can infer from this article that the author.A. believes a positive state of mind is a must to a good poet.B. appreciates the poet's optimism in the poem.C. likes the first two lines of the five most.D. is a very optimistic poet.第二节（共55小题;每小题25分,满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various.

However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 37 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 38 Also, sometimes pre-angcr docs not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporaiy state before a triggering event has occurred.39 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative（消极的）outlooks on situations can create anger.40 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to
