It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars pr
24、obes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planetat least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhereafter all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”. Think about itwhy should the seven billion
25、 people on this little planet be the only living beings in the universe? It would, in fact, seem logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life environments similar to the Earth.
26、The search is on for the evidence of the existence, or earlier existence of life: from very wise beings to simple organisms (有机物). So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As fo

Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar
28、planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing. There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581cand felt that its atmosphere was most suitable f

The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of w
30、ater. Gliese 581 is about 20.4 light years away from the Earth, so even if life does exist there, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely. Having said thiswho says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?27. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Life existing
31、outside of the Earth.B. The evidence of the existence of life.C. Other faraway planets in the universe.D. Creatures known from science fictions.28. What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?A. Modern scientific theories. B. Atmospheric conditions.C. Environments similar to the Earth.
32、D. Advanced technologies.29. From the passage, we know that _.A. the atmosphere of Gliese 581c was most suitable for lifeB. it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or notC. the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universeD. the distance of 20.4 light years makes it

However, there is nothing
52、 fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By1538, the
53、French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered tha
54、t, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out. Though the belief in the merit (好处) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18 century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand was
55、hing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far
56、? Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up
57、a strong immune system. And the latter (后者) position is gaining some ground._第二节 书面表达（满分25分）为了号召大家多读书，你校于7月25日组织了一次“亲子共读（parent-child reading）”活动。假设你是校英文报的记者，请根据以下要点用英语写一篇短文，报道此次活动。1. 地点：学校图书馆；2. 参加者：高二年级学生与家长；3. 活动内容：亲子共读一本书；分享读书体会；互相推荐优秀书籍；4. 简短评论。注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 连城一中20202021学年上期

The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help, and pretty soon youll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
