Question

【題目】Answer the questions. (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題)：

Hey! The people of the earth. Can you hear this radio message? Do not be afraid! We come in peace from another planet— and why not? We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. We have been here before.

You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太陽系) almost as fast as this radio message. Your sun is already in sight. Our ancestors (祖先) and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.

Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save the beasts. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.

They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.

For millions of summers — there were no winters in those ancient days — the Earth had rapid (飛速的) development. It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space. But they never felt lonely. They kept in touch with their relatives and friends on other planets. Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.

But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. Those who had called the Earth their home believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.

【解析】

本文是一個來自宇宙中其他星球人發(fā)來的信息，其中介紹了他們的祖先以及以前的地球。

【1】根據(jù)“We come in peace from another planet…”可知這個信息是來自于宇宙的其他星球的。此問句是一個反意疑問句，回答應(yīng)該是否定的，因此用No, it isn’t.故答案為No, it isn’t.

【2】根據(jù)“You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now.”可知幾個小時后，地球人會看到一個巨大的宇宙飛船。故答案為A few hours from now.

【3】根據(jù)“It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space.”可知從一個星球到另一個星球要花費(fèi)大約30年時間，因此他們的祖先很少太空旅行。故答案為Because travelling in space took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another.

【4】根據(jù)“Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.”可知一個世紀(jì)兩到三次，星際飛船會呼叫并給他們帶回宇宙新聞。因此他們是通過星際飛船與他們的親戚和朋友保持聯(lián)系。故答案為By starships.

【5】根據(jù)“But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice.”可知兩百萬年前，地球發(fā)生改變，溫度降低，地面覆蓋冰和雪。故答案為The temperatures fell quickly and he ground was covered with snow and ice on the earth.

【6】本題是一個開放性試題，考生可根據(jù)自己的想法回答，并敘述理由。故參考答案為I will feel amazing. Because I didn’t know that there are people on other planets.
