There’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as Mars(火星)．‎ On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first ever Mars show home, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. Set in the notsodistant year of 2037, the iglooshaped structure could be the home of your future.‎ It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognisable—kitchen, bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are vital for human survival.‎ As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent shelter from the sun and society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.‎ Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double airlocked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.‎ ‎“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre，” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of scifi. “Ten to twenty years from now there will certainly be people on Mars，” Petranek says.‎ ‎“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will，” Petranek says. “But two main factors have completely swung public attitudes.”‎ The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要对人类未来在火星上居住作了相关介绍。‎ ‎1．What can we know about the show home from the text?‎ A．It has no windows or doors due to security concern.‎ B．Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.‎ C．It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.‎ D．Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的第一句可推知，‎ 火星样板房的设计采用了可回收的宇宙飞船上的一些部件，体现了环保意识，故选B。‎ ‎2．What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A．Put them off.　　　　　　 B．Give them away.‎ C．Carry them through.

If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。许多人因为喜欢冒险和探索，所以移居国外生活，但文化的差异和语言的不同又使得他们很沮丧，因此作者建议移居国外的人最好能够学好当地语言以适应当地生活。‎ ‎5．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?‎ A．They find foreign living much easier.‎ B．They have the necessary language skills.‎ C．They love the adventure and exploration.‎ D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。该题问的是移居海外的人最初感到兴奋的原因。根据The honeymoon period部分第一、二句可知，因为他们喜欢冒险和探索，所以会感到兴奋。故选C。‎ ‎6．According to the author，what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?‎ A．Homesickness.‎ B．Culture shock.‎ C．Health problems.‎ D．Lack of employment.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据Trouble in paradise部分第二句以及联系本段内容可知，许多移居海外的人面临的主要问题是文化冲击。故选B。‎ ‎7．What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?‎ A．Study the local language.‎ B．Go on holidays frequently.‎ C．Learn how to open a bank account.‎ D．Seek out people from their home country.‎ A　解析：推理判断题。根据The road to recovery部分第二句以及最后一段可知， 作者建议移居海外的人学习当地的语言，这样才能够适应海外的生活。故选A。‎ 完形填空 ‎(2018·南昌十校模拟)When I was young, like you, I had a dream.But my dream wasn’t like that of an __1__ kid.It was to be the best tennis player __2__ simply the best “female” one in the world.‎ ‎__3__， I had a family encouraging me to follow my dream.I learned how important it is to __4__ a dream and to dream big.My fight began when I was three and I haven’t taken a __5__ since.‎ But too often, most women are not supported or are __6__ from choosing their path.I hope it could be changed.For me, it was a __7__ of resilience(坚忍)．What others marked as __8__ about me—my race, my gender—I accepted as fuel for my success.I never let anything or anyone __9__ me.I controlled my future.‎ When it comes to equal pay, it frustrates me __10__ I know firsthand that gender differences exist.I would __11__ want my daughter to be paid less than my son for the same work.Women have to __12__ many barriers to success.One is that we are constantly __13__ we are not men.People call me one of the “world’s greatest female athletes”．Why don’t they say LeBron is one of the world’s best male athletes?
