In the future, people may travel to Mars by water-powered spaceship! Today’s spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at travelling long distances． These spaceships burn chemical fuels, and they are very expensive． Scientists say that a water-powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper． The idea is just in the planning stage now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon．

The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine． Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel． The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels that heat water to a high temperature． Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars． Today’s spaceships could not carry that much water． But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to．

One company has already developed a spaceship like this． These spaceships are made of a strong material． Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air． “Balloon” spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip． With the “Balloon” spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip． And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!

Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost． The “Balloon” spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship． Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines． If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water．

24． Which sentence best describes the main idea of the passage above?

A． The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine．

B． One company has already developed a spaceship like this．

C． Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost．

D． In the future, people may travel to Mars by water-powered spaceship．

25． What do you think is omitted (省略) at the end of the underlined sentence?

A． use steam                                                            B． carry that much water

C． heat water                                                           D． push spaceships

26． Besides growing food, what else might astronauts do with the rest of the water?

A． Take a hot bath．                                                 B． Freeze dangerous things．

C． Blow up a balloon．                                            D． Change the surface of Mars．

C

In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts (炸面圈) and coffee． Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus．

Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop． Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on． But I didn’t mind if the children waited for their bus inside． Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare (车费) when a ticket went missing —always repaid the next day． On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts． I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived．

I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives—until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o’clock． He named himself as the father of two of my favorites．

“I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children． I worry about them taking two buses to get home． It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them． When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe．” I told him it wasn’t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids．

So I was the Doughnut Lady． I not only received a title, but became a landmark．

Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children． They become, well, Doughnut Ladies． Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰场) who let my boys ring home; or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn’t leave until I arrived to pick her up; or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work—even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors． “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”

That wasn’t a police car． That was a Doughnut Lady．

27． According to the passage, the author sometimes _______．

A． sold bus tickets to the children

B． did business with the children’s help

C． called the children’s parents to pick them up

D． provided schoolchildren with warm shelters

A． she hadn’t done anything very important

B． she hadn’t spent plenty of time with the children

C． she hadn’t made a lot of money from the children

D． she hadn’t found it hard to get along with the children

29． According to the author, who are Doughnut Ladies?

A． Those who are always ready to help others．

B． Those who provide free doughnuts for the poor．

C． Those who are curious about the happenings around．

D． Those who work in the doughnut store for a while

30． The passage suggests that _______．

A． taking responsibility is a virtue                              B． devotion co-exists(并存) with reward

C． acts of kindness are never too small                        D． running a business requires skills

D

32． What did Edmund think of the old man when he first met him?

A． Funny．                    B． Kind．                       C． Terrible．                   D． Ugly．

33． Why did Lucy feel even more frightened in paragraph 3?

A．Because she saw an owl in the large house．

B． Because someone unknown was walking on the steps．

D． Because she heard a terrible sound and thought of the house．
