　　[2015·山东师大附中一模] Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can really say, but for the two of us,

　　going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

　　On April 22, 2011,

　　we decided to go green every single day for an entireW1 year.

　　This meant doing 365 different green things,

　　and it also meant challengingW2 ourselves to go green beyond easy things.

　　Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think ofP 365 different green

　　things to do and this was no easy task.

　　With the idea of going green every single day for a year. Our Green Year started.

　　My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.

　　We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

　　Over the course of our Green Year, we completelyW3 changed our lifestyle.

　　We now shop at organic stores. We consumeW4 less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home－made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punishedW5.

　　Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.

　　We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others.S We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

　　[2016·河北保定摸底考试]Mars (火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. “It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars，” NASA's science mission chief, John Grunsfeld,

　　said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.

　　The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. “What

　　we're dealing withP1 is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water，” said Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tucson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high－resolution imaging experiment.

　　Because liquid water is essentialW1 to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life existsW2 on the planet.

　　The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.S

　　The evidenceW3 of flowing water consists largely ofP2 dark, narrow streaks (条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.

　　Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezingW4 point of water and melt ice.

　　The source (源头) of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere. Or it may be a combination.

　　Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysisW5 on Earth—something a US

　　lander set for lift－off in 2020 will do.

　　在火星上发现了水的痕迹，这是否意味着会有生命存在呢？是否适合人类居住呢？

　　5．What would be the best title for the text?

　　A．Streams of Water Spotted on Mars

　　B．Astronauts will Land on Mars

　　C．NASA's

　　Mars Exploration Program

　　D．A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars

　　答案：A　主旨大意题。从文中第一段即可归纳出题目。

　　6．According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be________on Mars.

　　A．salty water

　　B．standing water

　　C．rocket fuel

　　D．human beings

　　答案：A　事实细节题。从文中第一段的第一句可看出。

　　7．Scientists are uncertain about the________of the water on Mars.

　　A．state

　　B．source

　　C．temperature

　　D．taste

　　答案：B　事实细节题。从文中倒数第二段“The source of the water is a mystery”可选出B项。

　　8．What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?

　　A．The distance from the sun.

　　B．The favorable climate.

　　C．The gravity of the earth.

　　D．The salt in it.

　　答案：D　事实细节题。从倒数第三段的“salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice”可知盐对液态水的存在有重要作用。

　　Ⅱ.七选五(建议用时8′)

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　[2016·惠州二调]As the saying goes, you can not change the environment, but can change yourself. __1__ You can not change the past, but can change now.

　　__2__ Winners will put setbacks and difficulties down to the imperfection of personal ability and experience, to emphasize the inherent factors, and they are willing to continuously improve and develop the right direction. However, the losers are always emphasizing external and uncontrollable factors that have created the position of their life.__3__ They always complain, wait and give up!

　　In many cases, it is a humble person who looks down upon his own. A priori condition, such as one's appearance and family, can't be changed, but at least the inner state and the spirit of the will are entirely under their own control. __4__ There is nothing absolutely bad, but the mentality of the absolutely poor people. If even the state of mind will not be adjusted, how they deal with things more complicated than the mentality of it!

　　__5__ Passion put to work and numbness to work are completely different. Failure is seldom because we do not have the strength, but always because we are susceptible to all around us, and get used to going along with the lack of assertive, unstable attitude, and easily frustrated reason. As long as we change our attitude and face a number of disappointments in life bravely, we can feel the power of attitude, which decides the height of the final decision.

　　A．Only when we are the masters of our own, can we do everything well.

　　B．They will blame on injustice of the opportunity and the environment.

　　C．Mentality is the final decision of life high.

　　D．You can't change the facts, but can change attitudes.

　　E．As long as we try our best, we can be successful.

　　F．No matter what the situation, a person's attitude is very important.

　　G．The difference between successful people and the losers lies in their mind.

　　我们不能改变环境，但却可以改变自己的态度与观念，去努力创造新生活。

　　1．D　根据本段内容及句式结构的并列，不难选出D选项。

　　2．G　句首设空为本段的一个中心句，概括成功者与失败者各自的生活态度与处事方法。

　　3．B　本段中“However”后为失败者常有的生活态度及处事方法，故B项最贴切。

　　4．C　本段关键词“mentality”的作用，故选C。

　　5．F　本段句末“we can feel the power of attitude, which decides the height of the final decision.”故F项与此相呼应。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空(建议用时8′)

　　阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　One possible version：

　　April_18th,_Saturday

　　It_was_fine_today. We gathered at the school gate at 7 a．m. and then we set out to go on a hike. Our destination was to reach the top of Mount Wolong.

　　We had to walk for about 3 hours before we got there. When arriving at the top finally, we could see the breathtaking view. Though the hike was exhausting, it was well worth the extra effort. We not only got relaxed by enjoying the beauty of nature but also learned how to smooth away difficulties, and help each other as well as build our bodies.

　　In the future, we each will have our own mountain to climb in our life. We believe we'll reach the top and see much more beautiful view.
