Question

任務(wù)型閱讀  閱讀短文，按照要求完成各題。（5分）
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars.

First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars suck（吸力） us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

小題4:目前，我們的宇宙飛船太慢以至于不能運載大批人去火星，那通常要花幾個月的時間。
小題5:the advantages and disadvantages about living on Mars

試題分析：這篇短文主要給我們講述的是在未來，人們也許會去火星上居住，因為地球上的人口越來越多，而污染也越來越嚴(yán)重。去火星居住有很多優(yōu)點，如人們的居住空間會更大，人們都用機(jī)器人工作等。當(dāng)然，在火星居住也有它的缺點。如火星上的引力很小，食物不會像地球上那么好吃等。
小題1:根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，到2100年，人們將會去火星居住。這是因為地球變得越來越擁擠，污染也越來越嚴(yán)重。所以在這一段中，作者告訴了我們?nèi)藗兪裁磿r候，為什么去火星居住。故填when, why。
小題2:根據(jù)短文第二段中的第一句話可知，現(xiàn)在我們的宇宙飛船太慢了，不能攜帶很多人去火星，所以我們需要速度更快的宇宙飛船。另外，這一段話中還提到Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars，即我們還需要能在火星種植的植物。
小題3:這個題目要求我們給出一個在火星居住的缺點的例子，在文章的最后一段提到的是在火星居住的問題。如火星上的食物跟地球上是不一樣的，也許不像地球上的食物那么好吃；宇宙飛船速度太快，可能會讓人得病等。我們可以任意舉一個例子來回答。
小題4:at present 是一個固定的短語，意思是現(xiàn)在，目前；這個句子使用的結(jié)構(gòu)是too…to…，意思是太…以致不能…，表達(dá)否定的意思；it takes months這個句子中take的意思是花費。
小題5:這篇短文主要給我們講述的是在未來，人們也許會去火星上居住，因為地球上的人口越來越多，而污染也越來越嚴(yán)重。作者還講述了在火星上居住的優(yōu)點和缺點。故用一句話來概括本文的大意，我們可以說the advantages and the disadvantages about living on Mars，即住在火星上的優(yōu)點和缺點。
