36、then fill it with creatures from the earth.”可知这篇短文主要讲的是关于改造火星计划的设想。2.B 解析：细节理解题。根据短文所述，科学家反对这个设想的理由有：第四段第二句中“We are destroying our own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining another planet.”和第五段第二句中“.that would destroy all these native life forms.”以及第五段最后两句。B 项没有提到。3.A 解
37、析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“.scientists have become increasingly confident that they will find Martian life forms.Europe and Americas robot explorers have found proof that water，mixed with soil，exists in large amounts on the planet.”可推知科学家越来越相信火星上存在生命，因为有证据表明火星土壤中存在大量的水，故可断定水是生命存在的关键因素。4.B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“In
38、addition.living in the red planets soil.”可知，火星大气层中存在甲烷的迹象，而甲烷是活着的生物产生的废物并且可能是生活在火星土壤里的微生物产生的。故可得出结论：火星上可能存在微生物。第二节5.F 解析：由下文“Problems seem smaller when you talk about them with the right person.”可知，有一个对的人对你来说很重要。6.B 解析：由下文“Other times you need advice on things.”可知，有时你只是想听到鼓励的话。7.A 解析：由下文“Friends hel

40、候求助于专业人士。第二部分第一节文章大意：一个小男孩由于腿部残疾整天意志消沉，父亲为了帮助他树立自信心，让兄弟姐妹们一起种树，之后父亲偷偷地帮助他，结果他的树长得最好。小男孩找回了自信，长大后他没有成为植物学家而是当选为美国总统，他就是富兰克林罗斯福。10.B 解析：由上文的“thought himself as the most unfortunate child in the world”可知，他“很少”和同学玩耍。11.C 解析：根据上下文的内容可知，因为残疾，他缺少自信，所以当老师提问他的时候，他总是“低”着头不说话。12.A 解析：根据常识可知应该是在“春天”种树。13.C 解析：下
41、文的“Seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees”可知，父亲让“孩子们”在房子前面一人种一棵树。14.C 解析：父亲对孩子们说，谁种的树苗长得最好，就给他/她买一个“礼物”。下文的“favorite gift”是线索提示。15.A 解析：因为他的兄弟姐妹们都给树苗浇水，而他行动不便，于是他想出了一个主意：希望他的树苗赶快“死”去。16.B 解析：所以浇了一两次水后，他就不再“照料”树苗了。17.D 解析：他本以为树苗会枯萎，结果却看到它长得很好，所以他感到“吃惊”。18.A 解析：他是通过“比较”得到的结果：他种的树比兄弟姐高考资源网（
42、）您身边的高考专家高考资源网版权所有，侵权必究！妹的更绿。19.C 解析：由空后的“bought the little boy his favorite gift”可知，父亲遵守了他的“承诺”。20.B 解析：按照常理，树种得好应该有希望成为“植物学家”。后文的“become a botanist”是线索提示。21.C 解析：从那以后，小男孩慢慢变得“乐观”了。22.B 解析：他起床来到“院子”里，让他吃惊的是他看到“父亲”正给他的树喷洒什么东西。23.C 解析：他“父亲”正给树喷洒东西。故选 C。24.A 解析：父亲的行为让他“突然”明白他的树苗之所以长得好，是因为父亲一直在“秘密地”给它施
43、肥。25.D 解析：因为不知道父亲的行为，故用“秘密地”。26.B 解析：他回到了自己的房间，感动得“落泪”了。27.C 解析：一个人的一生应该是几十年时间。decades 数十年，符合语境。28.D 解析：爱是人的一生中“最好的”营养品。29.A 解析：“即使”是一滴清水也能帮助树木茁壮成长。第二节30.optimistic 31.previous 32.constantly 33.surrounding 34.lack 35.press36.guided 37.instant 38.impression39.settlement第三节40.capsule pleted 42.surroun
