21、   Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.

As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.

Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.

Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.

Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.

If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.

This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.

【1】The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT   .

A.the right amount of atmosphere B.our own solar system

C.steady heat and light D.the right distance from the sun

【2】Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A.The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.

B.Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.

C.Double stars can provide steady light and heat.

D.The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.

【3】What kind of planet might NOT support life?

A.Most of the planets of the stars. B.Stars similar to our sun.

C.Planets similar to the earth. D.Planets with proper conditions.

【4】At the end of the passage the author suggests that   .

A.it is impossible for life to exist on planets. B.earthlike life could only exist on a few planets.

C.life could exist on only one planet in a million. D.life could exist on a great number of planets.

22、I was parked in front of the mall wiping my car with a piece of cloth. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from was a bum(流浪汉). There are times when you feel willing to give money but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those “don't want to be bothered times”.

The man came and stood at the bus stop but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes, he said, “That 's a very pretty car.” He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him. I said, “Thanks,” and continued wiping my car. He sat there quietly as I worked . The expected request for money never came, which made me a little puzzled. As the silence between us widened, I asked, “Do you need any help ?” He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget. We often look for wisdom in great men and women. We expect it from those of higher learning and accomplishments. He spoke the three words that shook me.

“Don't we all?” he said.

I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a shotgun.

Don't we all? I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day.

Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have finished, you need help too. No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help.

【1】From the first paragraph, we know that the writer's wife________.

A．was doing shopping in the mall

B．was working in the mall

C．washed cars for drivers

D．was willing to help the poor

【2】Why did the writer feel a little puzzled?

A．The man answered him with only three words.

B．The man didn't ask him for money .

C．The man praised his beautiful car.

D．The man had an air of dignity around him.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph most probably mean?

A．Money.

B．Silence.

C．Help.

D．Wisdom.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Willing to Help the Poor

B．Never Ask for Money

C．Look up to the Poor

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It had been 5 years since Zahida’s husband passed away due to a heart attack. Every day, she buried herself in her embroidery (刺绣), feeling her waist ache due to the long hours of work. She would grow tired faster these days.

The doorbell rang. Her son Aamer returned from the office. Entering the house, Aamer threw his bag at a sofa. “I have told you again and again not to throw things everywhere!” Zahida complained. “Mom, why do you find fault with unimportant things every day? Boss at office, you at home... Oh so tiring!” Aamer slammed (砰地关上) the door to his room.

Such unpleasant exchanges always happened now. Zahida would often recall the days of Aamer’s childhood fondly, which would bring smile to her face. She could remember the days when the little Aamer had parted unwillingly on his first day to school or had shouted excitedly at spotting a sleepy bear during a visit to the zoo. Zahida wondered if Aamer too could recollect these memories or had piled them in a forgotten corner of his mind.

Following a quiet dinner that night, Zahida happened to pass Aamer’s room. She could hear Aamer’s voice floating out. “Yes, yes... you do understand that she is a picky woman. She cannot adjust easily anywhere. You must take care of that...”

Zahida was caught by a sudden sense of anxiety. A few days ago, a neighbor’s children sent her neighbor off to an old age home. They were too busy to have time for the old woman. What did Aamer talk of? Was she also...? No, surely Aamer couldn’t be doing that. Zahida retired to bed.

“Please be sure to deliver the tickets for our trip to Egypt as soon as possible,” Aamer continued.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

A few days later, a postman rang the doorbell when Aamer was away for work.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Mom, here... Look what I’ve got in the envelope!” Aamer shouted with joy like a child.
