【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 The pla was found by an international team of scientists. The new world named LHS 1140b, is ten times closer to its parent star than the Earth. But because its parent star is far cooler than the Earth, the pla still sits in the habitable zone. For life as we know it to exist, a pla must have liquid surface water and keep an atmosphere. In this case, the pla’s large size and closeness to its sun means that a magma(巖漿） ocean could have existed on its surface for millions of years, which fed steam into the atmosphere, filling the pla with water. Astronomers estimate the age of the pla to be at least five billion years, just a little older than Earth. They also evaluated that it has a diameter(直徑） times larger than the Earth. But the exopla is probably made of rock. 28. What makes the pla a “habitable zone”? A. It is near the Earth. B. It is near the sun. C. It is neither too hot nor too cold. D. It is neither too big nor too small. 29. Why is the pla suitable for life in spite of being very near to its parent star? A. It has more water. B. Its temperature is lower. C. It is made of rock. D. Its parent star is cooler. 30. What is the best title of the passage? A. A Newlydiscovered Sun B. A New Super Earth C. A Newlyfound Rule D. The Farreaching discovery 31. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the third paragraph? A. Exploration. B. Invention. C. Imagination. D. Ambition. D A cab pany in one of Japan’s major cities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based in Kyoto, shows the new idea in March. The business is currently operating five “Silence Taxis” acr oss the city. The cars look like an ordinary taxi, but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat will inform passengers that they have entered one of the new silent taxis. Drivers will offer a greeting when their passenger enters the car, and aside from confirming the route they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can talk only if they are spoken to first, and they are also allowed to municate in emergency situations. Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said, “This service is currently i n a trial stage, with the goal of creating an incar atmosphere that provides the most fortable ride for passengers through limiting the driver’s speaking.” According to Japan Today, they made the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up being forced to chat with their drivers. The pany will assess the popularity of the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across more of their drivers. Language and speaking is at the heart of another issue facing Uber drivers, after they lost a High Court Battle to block written tests in London. Drivers applying for a minicab license in the capital will now have to pass the written exam following Uber’s failed challenger against Transport for London (TFL). The pany argue d it could see up to 33,000 existing drivers lost their licences under the new rules. The pany’s London head, Tom Elvidge, determined to challenge the ruling, said, “We’ve always supported spoken English skills, but writing an essay has nothing to do with municating with passengers or getting them safely from A to B.” 32. According to the passage, the “Silence Taxis” . A. has gained wide popularity in Japan B. has not operated yet C. looks like an ordinary taxi D. is not safe enough for passengers 33. When we are in the “Silence Taxis”, . A. no one can say anything during the driving B. drivers are allowed to speak in emergency situations C. greeting is not allowed as well D. the fare is free if we say nothing during the driving 34. What is the purpose of the “Silence Taxis” according to the passage? A. Creating a more fortable atmosphere in the taxi for passengers. B. Ensuring a safer atmosphere in the taxi for passengers. C. Attracting more passengers to take taxis. D. Changing the impression of the taxi drivers in Japan. 35. What is the attitude of Tom Elvidge to the “Silence Taxis”? A. Indifferent. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. 第二節(jié) (共 5小題 。每小題 2分，滿(mǎn)分 10分 ) 根 據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填人空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 How do you write a short story?
