One Christmas in town, I saw a funny 45 in the store window and asked Mama, “Who’s that?”

“Nothing,” she said.

Not a good answer. Every time we’d pass that store, I’d ask Mama, but she didn’t 46 . One Christmas, I 47 wore her down. The mining town filled with pictures of that mysterious old man, I could barely contain my 48 . So the answer was:

One day, I was alone at home; Jimmy ran over and yelled, “Santa Claus is on the train!” I had to give him 50 , if he wanted revenge (复仇) for that mud-throwing incident. But Jimmy went running down the hillside 51 .

Year after year, as the train approached, the air was filled with what would become the 52 shout: “Santa’s coming!”

A

What was the most delicious meal you ever had? As I thought about it, only one answer came to my mind: ramen noodles (速食拉面).

It happened years ago during Hurricane Sandy when 3 feet of heavy snow hit the mountains of my home. Power lines were down. We had no heat, no lights, no television, no telephone, and no Internet. My children and I were stuck in the house, trembling in the cold. The meat in the freezer had already gone bad and any food that wasn’t spoiled had already been eaten. All the stores were closed due to the storm too. I felt weak from not eating and when I looked in my youngest son’s eyes, I could see how hungry he was as well.

Thankfully, though, I still had several bags of ramen noodles. Taking them and an old pot, I walked over to my dad’s house. He had his propane grill (丙烷烤架）to cook with. I put the noodles in the pot and watched them slowly boil. Struggling against the snow back home, I held the pot gingerly. Then I poured myself, my daughter and sons each a big bowl of noodles. We ate and ate until our hunger faded and then sat around the table and smiled at each other. It was the meal I ever had. We all felt so happy at that moment and our joy only grew greater when the power came back on later that night.

I learned something special too from that meal. I learned that the greatest happiness comes from a grateful heart. Since then I have been more and more thankful to everything we have in life.

56. During Hurricane Sandy, _______

A. The author’s family suffered starvation

B. The author didn’t have any stocked food in the freezer C. The author lost contact with the outside world completely. D. The author’s house was destroyed by the heavy snow.

57. What does the underlined word “gingerly” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Carelessly B. Casually C. Specially D. Cautiously 58. What’s the best title for the text?

A. The best meal I ever had B. The hardest time I experienced C. Why I love ramen noodles most D. How I survived Hurricane Sandy

The plan: turn Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields, and then fill it with creatures from the earth.

This idea may sound like something from a science fiction, but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers.

This suggests the future for the “red planet” will be the main topic for discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA this Week. Leading researchers as well as science fiction writers will attend the event. It comes as NASA(美国宇航局) is preparing a multi-billion-dollar Mars research programme.

“Turning Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction,” said Dr. Michael Meyer, NASA’s senior scientist. “Now, with scientists exploring the reality, we can ask what the real possibilities of changing Mars are.”

Most scientists agree that Mars could be turned into a little earth, although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal. But many experts are shocked by the idea.

“We are destroying our own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining another planet,” said Paul Murdin from the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UK.

Over the past months, scientists have become increasingly confident they will find Martian life forms. Europe and America’s robot explorers have found the proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large amounts on the planet.

In addition, two different groups of scientists announced on March 28 that they had found signs of methane(甲烷) in the Martian atmosphere, the gas is a waste product of living creatures and could be produced by microbes(微生物) living in the red planet’s soil.

But scientists such as Dr. Lisa Pratt, a biologist at Indiana University, say that these microbes will be put in danger by the little earth project.

“Before we have even discovered if there is life on Mars, we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all these native life forms, all the strange microbes that we hope to find buried in the soil,” said Dr. Pratt.

11

Monica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum, London, shares this view. “We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the precious information we are looking for,” she said. “This is just wrong”.

1. A plan for changing the present state of Mars_________.

A. has been made B. will be put into practice C. has been given up D. is being argued about

2. The signs of methane in the Martian atmosphere greatly support the view that ___ ____ on Mars.

A. microbes may exist B. there may be aliens C. water exists 3. The author took Paul Murdin as an example to show he ___________.

A. is for the idea of exploring Mars. B. is active in saving the earth.

C. is against the idea of turning Mars into a little earth. D. cares about environment protection.

4. Those who are against the plan are worried that it will ________________.

A. turn Mars into a little earth B. not be carried out

C. bring destruction to the planet just as what has happened on the earth D. cost too much time and money

5. Which of the headlines is the fittest for the passage?

A. Mars Programme-a Disastrous Plan

B. Mars Programme- Each Scientist Has His Own Way C. Mars Programme-Rising Before Us

D. Mars Programme-Challenge to Mankind

12

D. there is soil
