 阅读下面材料, 从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 An international team of scientists says it has discovered two new"super-Earth" type planets about 100 light-years away, one of which may be suitable for life. 

 Unlike any of the planets in our solar system, the nearly 1, 600 known super-Earths are larger than Earth, but lighter than icy planets like Uranus and Neptune. 

 Researchers at Belgium's University of Liège said that they found another one while using Earth-based telescopes to check the existence(存在) of a different planet first discovered by a NASA satellite in the same solar system. 

NASA's satellite found planet LP 890-9b, which is about 30% larger than Earth and orbits its sun in just 2. 7 days. ULi ège researchers used their telescopes in Spain to take a closer look at the planet. That's when the stargazers(天文学家) discovered another planet, LP890-9c, which is 40% larger than Earth and takes 8. 5 days to orbit its sun. 

 Francisco Pozuelos, a researcher, said that the planet could be suitable to life though being a 3. 7 million miles from its sun. Earth, by comparison, is located over 93 million miles away from our sun. "Although this planet orbits very close to its star, at a distance about 10 times shorter than that of Mercury around our Sun, the amount of stellar irradiation(照射) it receives is still low, and could allow the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface, if it has enough air, " Pozuelos said. "This is because the star LP 890-9 is about 6. 5 times smaller than the Sun and has a surface temperature half that of our star. "

(1)、How did ULi ège researchers discover LP 890-9b?
A、They discovered it by accident. B、They discovered it with NASA's help. C、They discovered it with Pozuelos' advice. D、They discovered it with telescopes in Belguim.
(2)、What do we know about super-Earths?
A、They are all suitable for life. B、They are much bigger than Earth. C、They are heavier than Neptune. D、They are 100 light-years away from Earth.
(3)、What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A、How the planet was discovered. B、Why the planet may be the suitable to life. C、Pozuelos' role in the discovery of the planet. D、Comparison's role between LP 80-9 and earth.

    Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活) if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.

    Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.

    There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath (在……之下) a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing--very, very slowly--as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.

    Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted (适应) to life in the desert. During the heat of the day a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.

HERE comes good news for travelers who often find themselves travelling to and from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport during the late hours—the Airport Express now operates around the clock,according to the city's transportation authority

"Convenient and efficient ground transportation services are essential for a world-class international airport.The new service will enhance the travel experience of late-night arriving passengers and ensure reliable public transportation during nighttime travel,reflecting the warmth of Shenzhen,"the spokesman of Shenzhen Bus Group has said.

Ms.Lan,who arrived in Shenzhen from Phnom Penh,Cambodia,early Saturday, noticed that there were still staff members from the Airport Express on duty although it was already 3:30 a.m.

"They told me they now offer overnight operations,making it convenient for late-night arrivals to reach their homes.This is great!"Lan,who lives in Guangming District,said.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The next day, Peter came, feeling very angry at the changes. Heidi was always busy with the strange new child. All summer long Heidi hadn't played with him. And today she was coming at last. But again, she would come with this stranger.

Then, Peter saw the wheelchair. He carefully looked around. Then he pushed it down the mountain. He felt a little worried and afraid so he ran away and hid himself in a bush.

Just then, Heidi came out of the house. Her grandfather and Clara came next. Not seeing the wheelchair, Heidi's grandfather decided to carry Clara to the top. As he was getting ready, he wondered why Peter was late.

To their surprise, when they arrived at the top, they saw Peter lying on the ground.

Grandfather put Clara down on the grassland and then went home. The three stayed there. Heidi remembered the place with many flowers. She wanted to take Clara there. She called Peter to help. Peter went to Clara unwillingly. Heidi asked him to help raise Clara from the ground on one side. Heidi helped on the other.

With the encouragement of Heidi, Clara tried a step and soon another. "Oh, Heidi,I can do it! Oh, I really can! Just look! I can take steps!" she said happily.

Heidi cried happily, "Oh, Clara, can you really? Can you walk? Now you can walk, Clara,"

Peter arrived home late that day. He saw many people talking around the wheelchair. What if they found out the truth? A policeman might arrive. They might take him away to prison. Peter's hair stood on end at this thought.

The next morning, Peter admitted his mistake. Clara's family forgave him. What Peter had done turned out to be the greatest good for Clara.
