三、阅读理解(每小题3分, 共15分)

It’s 2050. The Earth is dying, and moving to Mars seems to be the only way out for humans. A team of American astronauts(宇航员) begin to search on Mars. This is what the movie Red Planet begins with. Known as the Red Planet, Mars is the favourite of writers and filmmakers.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the next planet beyond the Earth. Mars is the only planet whose surface can be seen from the Earth. It is about half size of our planet.

The surface of Mars is more like the Earth than any other planet. But it is further from the Sun than the Earth, so temperatures on Mars are much lower. Plants and animals can not live now on Mars. But many scientists still believe that such life may have been on Mars since long ago.

On 6th August, 1996, scientists discovered a piece of rock from Mars, which fell to the Earth 13, 000 years ago. 10 years later, some scientists still didn’t accept that there was life on Mars. People may not be sure about life on Mars until a sample(样本) of life is brought back. Some further researches are being done in many countries.

Xinxing was a panda. She died at the age of 38. She was the world’s oldest panda in captivity (圈养) . She was more than 114 years old in terms of human years.

Xinxing was brought to the Chongqing Zoo when she was just one year old. There, she spent the rest of her life. She ate seven meals a day!

Xinxing had made several achievements in her life. Fewer than 30 captive pandas have lived beyond the age of 30. Wild pandas have even shorter lifespans (寿命) —14 to 20 years on average. Xinxing, however, lived for over 38 years.

What’s more, breeding is not easy for female pandas in captivity. They can get pregnant(怀孕) for only around one to three days a year in the spring.

Xinxing had given birth to at least 10 babies. She is also the ancestor of over 150 pandas. They are now living throughout the world.

How to Protect Our Environment

The environment is important for everyone. As students, we should try our best to protect our environment.

Now pollution is becoming more and more serious ① . Too many buses and cars can be seen on the road and they cause too much air pollution, so we should go to school by bike or on foot. We should reuse water. For example ② , when I finish washing the clothes, I use the water to clean the floor and water the flowers. At the same time② , I never use plastic bags. And I advise my parents to plant some trees behind our house.

It’s important for us to live a low-carbon life to protect the environment ③ .

点评: “一引二论三表法”写保护环境类作文

一引: 引出保护环境的意义(The environment is important for everyone.) 。

二论: 论述保护环境的具体措施(...so we should go to school by bike or on foot. We should reuse water. ...I use the water to...I never use ...And I advise my parents to...) 。

三表: 发表保护环境的感想(It’s important for us to live a low-carbon life to protect the environment.) 。

添彩点: ①比较级“more and more serious”突出了保护环境的迫切性。②恰当使用所学的短语: for example, at the same time 来列举现状。③句型“It’s important for us to live a low-carbon life to protect the environment.”的使用, 使得句式多样化。
