26、 Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits with Loeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.
Astronomers in Hawaii found the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”
“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.
Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence that contradicts his beliefs, he will immediately give in.
Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.
【1】What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?
A.It is an icy comet.
B.It looks like a long photo.
C.It is actually some sort of rock.
D.It may come from another alien civilization.
【2】What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Goes against.
B.Relies on.
C.Turns to.
D.Searches for.
【3】What do you think of Loeb?
A.He is foolish.
B.He is unsatisfied with his titles.
C.He is a firm believer in scientific truth.
D.He is uncertain about his career future.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A.Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?
B.Do We Really Know about Space Theory?
C.Scientists Are Working on High Technology
D.Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel
27、Many smokers aren't finding the cost of cigarettes a laughing matter. The federal tax(联邦税) on a pack jumped Wednesday -- April Fools' Day -- from 39 cents to $1.01. The tax increase is so big, it's being called "historic."Higher federal taxes apply to(适用于) other tobacco products, so even those smokers who have taken to rolling their own to save money can't escape them. The tax is expected to cause about 1 million smokers to quit.
New York leads the pack, so to speak, with a combined $3.76. Any smokers planning to visit New York City should bring cigarettes from home. A pack there now costs more than $9.
Some tobacco companies raised their prices several weeks ago. For example, the price of a pack of Marlboros jumped 71 cents. Where the price settles depends on the company. Some may absorb part of the tax and others will make smokers carry the entire weight and more.
However, some people think the tax unfair. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only one in five Americans smokes, and over half of all smokers are low income, and one of four is officially classified as poor.
What do you think? Is the tax unfair? We think cancer sticks should have been taxed into disappearance years ago, combined with a very strong public and private effort to help smokers quit.
【1】Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?
A. Cigarettes as well as other tobacco products are affected by the tax increase.
B. More and more smokers have to stop smoking as a result of tax increase on tobacco.
C. Cigarettes in New York must be very expensive.
D. smokers will carry all the tax increase on tobacco.
【2】 The author’s attitude toward the tax increase is ________.
A. showing agreement with the tax
B. showing disagreement with the tax
C. could not be seen
D. keeping his own ideas
【3】 Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. The Federal Tax
B. New Cigarette Tax Is No April Fools’ joke
C. Stop Smoking Immediately!
D. Unfair Tax on Tobacco
28、How to Make Friends with Someone You’ve Never Spoken to Before
Friendship is an important aspect of life. Perhaps there are new persons in your school who seem cool or fun, and you’d like to get to know them. But sometimes making friends can seem tough. 【1】
Smile.
When you see them, greet them with a kind smile. 【2】. You may have never smiled at them before, so they may have no idea that you want to be friends with them. Smiling will plant a seed in their mind that you have some level of interest.
Greet them with a “hello.”
If you see them in the mornings, greet them with a “hello”. This will likely begin to spark an interest in them to know more about you and to talk to you. This will also guarantee that they notice you.
【3】
This is the most basic first step in making friends. Take a moment to approach them when you have some downtime and introduce yourself by name. You might say “Hi, my name is Henry Locklear. I’m a junior. What’s your name?”
Ask your mutual (互相的) friends to introduce you.
If you have mutual friends with this person, a great way to make their acquaintance (熟人) is to have your friends introduce you to them.【4】.If the two of you have mutual friends, it is all the more likely that you will hit it off as well.
Ask a favor.
One way to begin having small conversations with them is to ask for a small favor. This is good way to guarantee (确保) that you are noticed.【5】 Probably, you will be friends after that.
A.Introduce yourself.
B.Tell them something interesting.
C.Smiles show friendliness and warmth.
D.Fortunately, there are many options available to you.
E.This is perhaps the easiest and most effective way to break the ice.
F.For instance, you might ask them something like, “Can you lend a pencil to me?”
G.You might want to shake their hand, especially if you are in a professional setting.
29、In a tiny, lab-grown garden, the first seeds ever sown in lunar dirt have come up. This small crop, planted in samples (样本) returned by Apollo tasks, offers hope that astronauts could someday grow their own food on the moon.
But plants planted in lunar dirt grew more slowly and were thinner than others grown in volcanic(火山的) material from Earth, researchers report 12 May in Communications Biology. That finding suggests that farming on the moon would take a lot more than a gardening skills.
“Ah! It’s so cool!” says a botanist (植物学家) Richard Barker. “Ever since these samples came, back, there’s been botanists that wanted to know what would happen if you grew plants in them,” says Barker, who wasn’t involved in the study. “But everyone knows those precious samples are priceless, and so you can understand why NASA was unwilling to publish them.”
The team planted seeds in tiny pots that each held about a gram of dirt. Four pots were filled with samples returned by Apollo 11, another four with Apollo 12 samples and a final four with dirt from Apollo 17. Another 16 pots were filled with earthly volcanic material used in past experiments to copy moon dirt. All were grown under LED lights in the lab and watered with nutrients.
“Nothing really compared to when we first saw the seedlings as they were coming up in the lunar dirt,” says Anna-Lisa Paul, a plant biologist. “That was a moving experience. We could not speak when we watched the very first plants growing in unique materials.”
Plants grew in all the pots of lunar dirt, but none grew as well as those planted in earthly material. “The healthiest ones were just smaller,” Paul says. The moon-grown plants were tiny. Faced with that, explorers need to do more research to let plants grow strongly on the moon. I believe we will succeed in time.
【1】What does the research on plants grown in the lunar dirt show?
A.Growing foods on the moon is necessary.
B.Skills are the key to farming on the moon.
C.Farming’ on the moon needs many factors.
D.Astronauts want to grow food on their own.
【2】What can we learn from what Barker said?
A.Some plants need planting in special soils.
B.Botanists are interested in studying new things.
C.It is a selfish action for NASA to keep the secret.
D.The samples brought from the moon are valuable.
【3】What does the author think of planting on the moon?
A.It is practical.
B.It is hopeful.
C.It only attracts astronauts.
D.It challenges most experts.
【4】What is the best title for this text?
A.The First Plant Has Been Grown in Moon Dirt
B.Astronauts Have Brought Things Worth Spreading
C.Botanists Have Found a New Kind of Plant Lately
D.Farming on the Moon Has Been Accepted by People

31、课本原文填空
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change 【1】 time.

Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its 【7】 origins.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with business 【8】 advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and 【9】 media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their 【10】 ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialized, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
