• 11．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
     Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water.Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球場） in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
     There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.
     Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be "green gyms".They are better replacements（代替物）for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all，it's free.
  
  （1）Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？

  
  A．Motor racing in the desert.

  A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.

• 12．Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2 D2 or the robot from Lost in Space，but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
     Robots make great explorers on planets，the moon，and other landing areas.Aside from the earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore.The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity.Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
     Robots are designed for collecting scientific data.Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently.Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
     The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.
     Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.
  
  （1）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Development of Robots
  B．The Discovery of Space Exploration
  C．No Robots，No Space Exploration
  D．Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
  （2）According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？

  
  A．The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
  B．It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
  C．Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
  D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
  （3）The underlined word "withstand" most probably means "

  ".
  A．remain
  B．bear
  C．defeat
  D．develop
  （4）What is the writer's attitude in this passage？

  
  A．Negative.
  B．Persuasive.
  C．Subjective.
  D．Objective.

• 13．Halloween is a holiday full of tricks and treats and all things frightening and fun.But what happens when you trade your sweets for a scare？The result is always healthier than candy.
     Being frightened can be good for you.Think about your favorite scary books or movies.You are scared but you just can't resist reading or watching them.Being frightened makes your brain flood with healthy chemical substances that excite your mood and release feelings of great excitement.
     When you're frightened，your body also produces a chemical called oxytocin，which helps people bond with one another.So，if you're at a haunted（鬧鬼的） house with some pals，that experience can help solidify your friendship. "Watch people walking out of a haunted house，and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives，" says Dr.Margee Kerr，a sociologist who studies fear.
     There is also some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play can make us fearful and anxious.But these experiences help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident."You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear，and so you're better able to work through it during tense situations，" Kerr explains.
     Though some haunting may be healthy，it's important to remember that people experience fear in different ways.What may be fun for one person could be too scary for another.And Kerr notes that kids younger than six and or seven can't separate real and make-believe，so seeing something frightening could have lasting，negative effects.
  
  （1）Why does the author mention "Halloween" in Paragraph 1？

  
  A．To make a suggestion.
  B．To present a report.
  C．To introduce a topic.
  D．To offer an instruction.
  （2）What does the underlined words " high fives" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Putting hands up to give in.
  B．Waving hands to say goodbye.
  C．Folding palms together to express thanks.
  D．Hitting palms together to show happiness.
  （3）How is the text developed？

  
  A．By analyzing reasons.
  B．By giving examples.
  C．By providing statistics.
  D．By making comparisons.
  （4）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．Fearfulness controls our confidence.
  B．We'll feel worried if we're scared.
  C．Being scared can be good for everyone.
  D．Being frightened helps people stay closer.

• 14．One of the many difficulties to humans freely exploring and inhabiting（居?。㎝ars is the planet's lack of oxygen.Luckily NASA's Perseverance Rover（"毅力"號火星探測器）can help.Using an instrument called MOXIE （short for Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utillzation Experiment），the rover successfully took carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere and turned it into oxygen.NASA said it plans to conduct more MOXIE tests.
     MOXIE ran its first test for roughly an hour，producing just under six grams of oxygen.That's enough to keep an astronaut going for about 10 minutes.It won't keep someone alive for long，but it's a key step forward in exploring Mars.Not only could that oxygen be used to allow people to breathe，but it would also lighten the load for return missions to Earth，or for trips to other parts of the solar system.Rockets need oxygen to burn fuel during liftoff.Being able to create it on Mars would mean spacecraft can bring less of it from Earth，significantly cutting down their weight.Less weight means less overall fuel needed to launch rockets.
     Oxygen is the heavier part of rocket fuel.If NASA wanted to get four astronauts of Mars，the spacecraft would need 27.5 tons of oxygen to do it.Keeping those four breathing for a year would require about one ton.At the rate MOXIE is going，producing 27.5 tons would take more than 475 years.But future devices（設備）could be larger and more efficient than the 38-pound MOXIE.One day，we will come up with a bigger plan for humans when we finally send them there to make enough oxygen.
  
  （1）What's the function of MOXIE？

  
  A．To conduct tests on Mars.
  B．To help send oxygen to Mars.
  C．To find new habitats for humans.
  D．To turn carbon dioxide into oxygen.
  （2）What remains to be improved in the MOXIE tests？

  
  A．Using less fuel to launch rockets.
  B．Sending more astronauts to space.
  C．Cutting down the weight of rockets.
  D．Producing enough oxygen for the mission.
  （3）What's the author's attitude towards MOXIE？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Positive.
  C．Indifferent.
  D．Unclear.
  （4）What's the writing style of this text？

  
  A．Argumentative.
  B．Narrative.
  C．Expository.
  D．Descriptive.

      During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade，she decided to try a new sport.Swim training was nearly over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group.She had always been the best.The neighborhood was offering a one-week tennis training course.Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join.
      On Saturday morning，Darla's mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good，used tennis racket. "If you girls stick to tennis，then we'll talk about a new racket.These will do for now." The girls were excited about their new purchases.On Monday morning，at 7：00 a.m.，Patty's mom woke her up. "It's time for tennis!" Patty covered her face. "Mom，it's too early!" She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table.Patty finished breakfast and ran to Darla's house，then they walked to the court.
      Mrs.Cane，the tennis coach，lined everyone up and started with the basics.After that，Mrs.Cane tirelessly taught them to practice their forehand and backhand.By the end of the week，Patty had made impressive progress.Mrs.Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential.Darla，on the other hand，was struggling.The other teenagers were having a tough time of it，too.Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
      Since then，Darla had always been out in the August heat，practicing her serves or hitting the ball.Patty wasn't really interested.She felt she was such a "natural" for tennis that she really didn't need to practice.By the end of the summer，Darla began to get the hang of it.She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team.There would be matches every Thursday.Patty wanted to join as well，but she didn't want to miss her favorite TV show.She told herself that she would join it when she got some free time.If Darla had fun，she would join the team in the spring.
