B.Native.C.Foreign. D.Intelligent.解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中的“...thenterraformingshouldbeanon-issue;itsimplyshouldnotbedone.”可知,這樣的話,我們就不應(yīng)該使火星地球化。又結(jié)合該段第一句可以推知,這樣做的前提是火星上有原始生命;故畫線詞與B項詞義相近。故選B。答案:B3.Howdoestheauthordevelophisideasinthetext?A.Byreferringtoothers’research.B.Byevaluatingdifferentplanets.C.Byjustifyingthebenefitsofterraforming.D.Byarguinginsupportofoneviewpoint.解析:寫作手法題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Butthebiggerquestionis,shouldwe?”和第三段以及第四段的內(nèi)容可知,作者先提出一個問題,然后通過討論兩種情況來論述自己的觀點。故選D。答案:D4.Whichofthefollowingisasuitabletitleforthetext?A.IsThereLifeonMars?B.CanWeAdapttoMars?C.ShouldWeTerraformMars?D.AreMarsandEarthSoDifferent?解析:標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知,本文是圍繞第二段結(jié)尾句“Butthebiggerquestionis,shouldwe?”提出的問題展開討論的,又結(jié)合下文論述的不應(yīng)該以犧牲火星上的原始生命為代價而去改變火星上的環(huán)境以適應(yīng)人類的生存,以及即使火星上無生命我們也應(yīng)讓它保持原狀以便我們了解到更多東西可知,C項最適合做本文的標(biāo)題。故選C。答案:CⅤ.閱讀七選五Gardening380KilometresAboveEarthAstronautshavetogothroughphysical,psychological,andtechnicaltraining.Theyalsogothroughtraininginhowtocareforplants.These“astronautgardeners”sharetheirworkandlivingspacewithplants.Takingseedsandplantsalongonatripisn’tanewidea.Asspacetripsbecomelonger,itwillbenecessarytogrowfoodinspace.1.______Becauseofthis,it’snotpracticaltosendeverythingneededforalongjourney,onlytobeusedonceandthrownaway.
