25、Scientists have long been looking for life in outer space. They recently found something exciting on Venus (金星), the planet closest to ours.

British scientists have discovered phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’ atmosphere (大气层). Phosphine is a hopeful sign of life. On Earth, phosphine is produced when organic (有机的) matter breaks down. The same thing could be happening on Venus. Still, scientists need to send a probe to Venus to see whether life exists (存在) there.

In fact, Venus has long been ignored (忽视) in the search for life because of its high temperatures and atmospheric pressure. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system—the surface temperature is 470℃. The pressure there is 92 times greater than that on Earth. Even if humans could bear the heat, they would be crushed (粉碎) by the pressure.

However, it’s possible that life could exist in the planet’s atmosphere. Temperatures there are about - 1℃ to 93℃, which is far more suitable for life. The pressure there is similar to that of the Earth as well. The phosphine was found in Venus’ cloudy atmosphere—around 60 kilometers above its surface.

Phosphine is known as an indirect sign of life. So are gases like methane (甲烷) and ozone. Scientists focus on such signs when they look for life outside of the Earth. These gases can exist in the atmospheres of planets for a long time, allowing scientists to find them with the help of probes. However, it is liquid (液体) water that is considered to be the most important sign of life.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【1】Which planet is the nearest to Earth?

A．The moon.

B．The sun.

C．Mars.

D．Venus.

【2】Why could life exist in Venus’ atmosphere?

A．Because Venus’ surface temperature is too high.

B．Because there is phosphine in Venus’ cloudy atmosphere.

C．Because the pressure there is 92 times greater than the Earth’s.

D．Surface.

【4】What’s the most important sign of life?

26、Long long ago, there lived two girls named Emily and Tina. Both of them had long black hair and blue eyes. One day while they were playing in the back yard (庭院), Emily heard a tinkling (叮当) sound. She jumped up. “Listen,” she told her twin. They listened. The noise came again.

This time Tina heard it. She sat up. “It came from over there,” She whispered, looking at the zinnias (鱼尾菊) far away. They came near to find it out. Then something flew out, making the same tinkling sound they had heard before. The children looked at one another. “Was it a bee?” asked Tina. “I don’t think so,” replied Emily. “Do bees make a sound like bells?” “Let’s call it the Tinkle Bee anyway,” said Tina. Emily nodded, listening with a little difficulty. What had made that noise?

The next day, Emily and Tina brought their cookies outside. Tina took her plate by the zinnias. Suddenly she caught something. “Emily!” she called. “I’ve got the Tinkle Bee!” Emily rushed over. They sat down on the grass. Tina opened her hand very carefully. There was that sound! Something was shining in Tina’s hand. They smiled. Then Emily cried, “It’s a fairy (仙女)!” Tina looked down at it in her hand. It looked like a girl. A tiny girl with wings! Tina dropped it before she noticed that a wing was torn (撕裂). The little fairy could not fly away so she took a piece of grass out of the ground and sat on it.

Emily and Tina were surprised at what they saw. The fairy turned to Emily and said, “Hello, I am Marabella.” Then she said again, “Marabella the Fairy.” Emily smiled. “I’m Emily,” she said. Tina said, “I’m Tina. Are you really a fairy?” “Oh, yes!” replied Marabella. “I’ve always been a fairy.”

28、阅读下面短文，根据提示在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Last year I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so 【1】 (quick) that I did not understand 【2】 (she) most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.

Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I 【3】 (fall) in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I begin to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language 【4】 the expressions on their faces helped me get the meaning. I also learned to use 【5】 (句子) like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.”

Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.
