Ⅱ.阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D项中选出最佳选项。

Is there intelligent(有智力的)life on other planets？For years，scientists said “no” or “we don't know”．But today this is changing.Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家)．They believe intelligent life exists(存在)somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings(人；生物)．

Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planet s？The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old.“This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，”say Shostak and Barnett.The second reason is size—the uni verse is huge.“Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，”says Shostak.“And our galaxy，the Milky Way，has at least 100 billion stars.Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”

In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe.But now，powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.

Have beings from space already visited Earth？“Probably not，”says Shostak.“It's a long way away.However，intelligent beings may contact us in other ways，such as radio signals(信号)．In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages.However，this is changing.By 2025，we could make contact with other life_forms in our universe and we might help each other.”

The more books you read，the better your life will be.If you don't believe me，please consider the following reasons to read more books.

You will have strong brain power.Studies sugge st reading makes you smart.Unlike watching television，which requires no thought process(过程)，reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp(even in old age)．You will travel to a new world.Sometimes our daily life can start to get boring.At times like this，I like to dive into a good fiction book, where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out.I'll come back refreshed after my

mini-vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words.

You will improve your vocabulary.The more words you're able to use，the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings.I couldn't imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn't actively aim to improve my vocabulary，because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry.

You will entertain yourself at a low price.If you're looking for entertainment without much money，reading is your best choice.Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices(设备)，it's never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time，for the low cost of a few dollars.

You will discover surprising new ideas.Reading introduced me to concepts(概念)like mindful eating, relaxation exercises，and the importance of loving yourself.If I didn't read，I wouldn't realize these ideas.If you don't read, you will miss many surprising new ideas.

You will become an expert(专家)in your field.Don' t you think reading articles and books by experts in your field might make you better at what you do？If you don't learn more about your profession，then your lack of passion could be a sign that you're in the wrong field.

I firmly believe that reading has changed my life.I hope these reasons can encourage you to read more books.

Everyone dreams of changing the world.But can teenagers really make a difference? And how should we go about it?

Michael N orton's book “365 Ways to Change the World” is a good starting point.The book gives an inspiring idea or task to do for every single day of the year.The tasks include volunteering at a local homeless shelter and planting a tree.

The book says that one simple act，no matter how small，can help someone in need.It may even influence other teens to do something.

Enochs High School junior Nathan Anthony agrees.“It is impossible to achieve anything in life without giving something to someone or making an effort at school or work，” Nathan said.

Another Enochs junior，Ariane Mota，has the same opinion.“Giving is our way

of repaying those who help us，” she said.“Whether it is a helping hand or a donation，we should help others to improve their day or life.”

But how often do teens see their peers(同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone? According to Nathan，not a lot.He and Ariane both believe this needs to be changed.

“I help my friends by reminding them that their lives are better than those less fortunate people，”Nathan said.“Humor is also a great tool.”

So whether you're helping to find a cure for cancer or simply smiling at a stranger，do something every day to help change the world for the better.

13．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Everyone should dream of changing the world.

B．Everyone is responsible for making the world better.

C．We should help others to improve their lives.

D．Humor is a great tool to help people.

16．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 probably refers to________．A．repaying those who help us

B．improving their day or life

解析：词义猜测题。根据划线单词后面的needs to be changed可知，this指的是前面的“But how of ten do teens see their peers(同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone? According to Nathan，not a lot.”故C为正确答案。

答案：C

People from all over the world have different wedding traditions and marriage customs.The one thing that all wedding ceremonies commonly seem to have is the commitment(承诺) of love for all time during a public ceremony.
