D．Mars.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据Titan部分的第二句可知，这颗卫星有可能会孕育生命，但可能不是我们所想的那样。据此可知，泰坦中的生命体可能和我们想象的不一样，故B项正确。‎ ‎3．What do we know from the passage?‎ A．Europa is the most talkedabout potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.‎ B．TRAPPIST－1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.‎ C．All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.‎ D．There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据本文尾句可知，有证据表明，在这颗红色的小星球上曾经存在过或仍然存在着生命。据此可知，火星上有生命是有证据的，故D项正确。‎ B ‎(2020届高三·名校原创预测卷九)A team of scientists found a new planet in space by accident. It was a discovery that could change science. “We hit the jackpot here，” said scientist Guillem AngladaEscude about the discovery of the planet more or less like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri (半人马座比邻星), the star nearest to our solar system.‎ What do we know about this exciting new Earth? Well, Proxima b, or “Earth Ⅱ” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its revolution only takes 11 days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf star than Earth to the sun, the sky there is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect. But there are a lot of questions about life forms that could live on this new planet.‎ The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the US's space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spaceship, which were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. If there are aliens (外星人) on Proxima b, they would have found images showing the incredible diversity of Earth.‎ Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter：“This is a present from a small distant world ... We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (银河的) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”‎ It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet — even if it has an atmosphere — at first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900 km/h)．‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文。科学家在太空中发现一颗大小与地球有几分相似的行星。这颗类地行星绕着半人马座比邻星(距我们太阳系最近的恒星)进行轨道运动。‎ ‎4．What does the underlined phrase “hit the jackpot” probably mean?‎ A．Make a bet.　　　　　　 B．Take a risk.‎ C．Succeed by chance. D．Miss the boat.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的第一、二句及下文内容可知，科学家偶然发现了一颗类似地球的行星，这是一项能够改变科学的新发现。对于发现这颗行星的科学家来说，他们好像是中头奖了。hit the jackpot意为“中头奖”，在此可指“意外成功”。故选C。‎ ‎5．What does the author say about Proxima b?‎ A．It has a shorter period of revolution.‎ B．It is of the similar weight to Earth.‎ C．It is a newlyfound planet in the solar system.‎ D．Its sky looks orange for being closer to the sun.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“its revolution only takes 11 days”可知，比邻星b的公转周期仅有11天。相对于地球的公转周期(约365天)而言，比邻星b的公转周期要短得多。‎ ‎6．What do President Jimmy Carter's words suggest?‎ A．Humans' eagerness to meet creatures from outer space.‎ B．The great progress made in space exploration.‎ C．The best wishes for America's space program.‎ D．Humans' determination to explore outer space.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段的内容和其中的关键信息“we may live into yours”“to join”“our determination”可知，美国前总统Jimmy Carter给外星人的留言内容传递了人类探索外太空的决心。故选D。‎ ‎7．What seems to be the major problem for our visit to Proxima b?‎ A．The lack of air on the planet.‎ B．Too great a distance from us.‎ C．Uncertainty about life forms there.‎ D．The glaring sunlight all years.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“at first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900 km/h)”可知，如果人类想要探访比邻星b，需要寻找一种更快的抵达方式。人类以3.6万英里每小时(约5.79万千米/时)的速度需要7.8万年才能到达那里。由此可推知，人类探索比邻星b的最大问题是比邻星b距离我们太远。故选B。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2019·济南模拟)There was a little, but always strange girl. Everything was bad for her. She wished to meet an enchantress (女魔法师) that would turn her life a(n) 1 tale.‎ One day an enchantress came and said that one of her wishes would 2 . The gi rl became very happy at first, but then she started to think that she had a lot of wishes and all of them were 3 for her. She could not 4 just one. Then the 5 enchantress said that she would help her realize one wish every day.

But soon the little girl realized that 8 of the wishes did not give her joy and happiness which she 9 for. Many wishes brought her disappointment, and some 10 pains. Almost every dream was an empty little girl's caprice (任性). Though being 11 ， she suddenly found that she did not 12 this. Soon she started to 13 the dreams. She was afraid to 14 every day, waiting for the realization of another wish. Crying, she asked the enchantress to 15 only one dream — to live as she lived 16 and enjoy life.‎ The good enchantress had 17 upon the little girl. She waved her magic wand and disappeared. The girl was happy 18 she knew that now she would carefully seek for her one big 19 dream, not wasting time with shortterm, 20 ， quite unnecessary wishes.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇寓言故事，讲述了一个小女孩遇到了一位女魔法师，她答应每天实现小女孩一个愿望以及小女孩在这个过程中所明白的道理。‎ ‎1．A.funny　　　　　　　 B．outstanding C．fairy D．extraordinary 解析：选C　根据语境可知，小女孩的生活很糟糕，她希望遇到一位女魔法师，把她的生活变成童话。fairy tale“童话”。‎ ‎2．A.give out B．come true C．come out D．give off 解析：选B　根据下文中的“The girl became very happy at first”可知，此处为她的愿望中的一个会实现(come true)。‎ ‎3．A.mysterious B．humorous C．important D．private 解析：选C　根据上文可知，小女孩有很多愿望，下文提到“She could not just one”，所以此处应是指所有的愿望对她来说都很重要(important)，她无法只选择一个。‎ ‎4．A.remind B．choose C．change D．guess 解析：选B　参见上题解析。choose“选择”；remind“提醒”；guess“猜测”。‎ ‎5．A.kind B．strict C．magical D．optimistic 解析：选A　根据空后的“enchantress said that she would help her realize one wish every day”可知，女魔法师说她每天都会帮助小女孩实现一个愿望，因此她是善良的(kind)。最后一段中的“The good enchantress”也是提示。‎ ‎6．A.weaker B．prouder C．luckier D．happier 解析：选D　善良的女魔法师答应她每天都能实现一个愿望，所以这个小女孩变得更加高兴(happier)了。‎ ‎7．A.enthusiasm B．sorrow C．surprise D．doubt 解析：选A　从那天起，她每天早晨都怀着喜悦和热情(enthusiasm)等待着。sorrow“悲伤”；surprise“惊讶”；doubt“怀疑”。‎ ‎8．A.description B．wonder C．achievement D．expression 解析：选C　根据上文“Then as days passed, the dreams became real ones”可知，此处指梦想成了现实，但是愿望的实现(achievement)并没有给小女孩带来她所期望的快乐。‎ ‎9．A.hoped B．took C．thanked D．answered 解析：选A　参见上题解析。‎ ‎10．A.still B．ever C．indeed D．even 解析：选D　上文指出许多愿望使她感到失望，此处应指一些愿望甚至(even)给她带来了痛苦。此处用even表示递进关系。‎ ‎11．A.annoyed B．satisfied C．confused D．excited 解析：选B　上文说女魔法师实现了小女孩的愿望，所以此处表示小女孩是满足的(satisfied)。‎ ‎12．A.want B．do C．get D．decide 解析：选A　根据上文中的Though可知，小女孩虽然实现了愿望，但她突然发现这并不是她想要的。‎ ‎13．A.suspect B．hate C．fear D．enjoy 解析：选C　根据下文中的“She was afraid to every day, waiting for the realization of another wish”可知，此处为她开始害怕(fear)梦想。下文中的“was afraid to”为重要提示。‎ ‎14．A.stand up B．wake up C．go to sleep D．dress up 解析：选B　根据上文的“that she would help her realize one wish every day”“she was waiting every morning with joy and ”可知，此处表示她每天醒来(wake up)。‎ ‎15．A.understand B．remember C．accept D．realize 解析：选D　根据语境以及空后的“only one dream”可知，此处指实现一个愿望，故用realize。‎ ‎16．A.before B．alone C．later D．now 解析：选A　此处表示像她以前(before)那样生活，享受生活。‎ ‎17．A.effect B．envy C．mercy D．punishment 解析：选C　根据空前的“The good enchantress”和下文“The girl was happy”可知，此处应指这位善良的女魔法师对这个女孩是仁慈的(mercy)。‎ ‎18．A.so B．because C．as if D．even though 解析：选B　女孩很高兴，因为她知道现在她会认真地寻找一个有价值的梦想。根据语境可知空处前后为因果关系，且为前果后因，故选because。‎ ‎19．A.apparent B．delicate C．typical D．valuable 解析：选D　根据下文中的“not wasting time with shortterm, ， quite unnecessary wishes”可知，此处为有价值的(valuable)梦想。‎ ‎20．A.by all means B．by coincidence C．as a result D．in fact 解析：选D　根据语境可知，此处指不要把时间浪费在短期的愿望上，实际上，这些短期的愿望是没有必要的。in fact“事实上，实际上”。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 ‎(2019·长沙质检)Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Ch inese festivals.

Chinese New Year's Eve, a day when Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as Chú Xī.
