32、15、Now， it may be difficult to predict(預言) the future， but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet， Earth， is becoming more and more crowded and polluted.

33、e much better. At present， humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However， by 2100， spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there!Secondly， humans need food， water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown

34、on Mars. These plants will produce the food， water and air that we need. However， there is no answer for all the problems now.There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly aw

35、ay into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.In some ways， life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today.

39、cientists want us to do that.D16、Only humans speak using words. But all kinds in the animal world can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings, to be friendly or to

40、be playful. But did you know about infrasonic communication used by elephants? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling in the sky. But we dont hear sounds lower than this. However, animals such as elephants and hippos can hear much lower sounds than humans can. And whats mo

41、re, they can make those low sounds as well, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound. The amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometers. Higher-level sounds like the one people can hear, dont travel well through walls, leaves, trees an

42、d so on, which is why we cant hear sounds from more than 100 meters away. But infrasound is much stronger and things like grass and trees have no influence on it. Therefore, it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometers away!There have been reports of people wa

43、tching groups of elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all stopped what they were doing for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didnt hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals,

44、 it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo, you may notice a slight rumbling in the air every few minutesnot loud or strong, but clearly noticed. This is infrasonic communicationthe mother elephants “talking” to their

45、 babies.1Why does the writer mention bees and dogs in Paragraph1?ABecause they use infrasonic communication.BBecause they communicate like the elephants.CBecause they are examples of animal communication.DBecause people want to learn how they communicate.2Which of the following is TRUE about infraso

53、s that wresting is probably the sport that has the least luck. There are only two people out on the mat(墊子), so you cannot blame(指責) it on your teammates or your coach(教練). And guess what? There is no weather because we do the whole thing indoors, so you cant say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing

54、.” So we should say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.On our team there were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We also had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy by the name of John.John had never been beaten in any high school wr

55、estling competition that I could remember, as he was a national champion. There was nobody local who could touch him.One day, we went for a match with our biggest opponent（對手）. John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a special move. He rolled over,

56、 and his opponent caught him halfway through his roll. He was pinned(壓住)! The match was over.I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to comfort John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” And John said, “Thats so silly. The opportunity presented itself, and he just took advantage it.”We

57、used to have this big sign in our wrestling room that the coach had put there. “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation.”Johns opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not strong and he knew it. But he waited for the right opportunity

58、, and he defeated and pinned a national champion.In other words, the real message is “Be prepared!” Its not just finding the opportunity, you have to be prepared to take it.1The author thinks that if you want to win in the wrestling, _Ayou must have the best luckByou must prepare for it wellCyou should know your oppone
