    There are millions of stars and planets in space. What's the difference between stars and planets? Stars can give out heat and light, but planets cannot.

    The sun is one of the stars. Some planets are balls of rock and some are balls of gas. We live on the planet earth. The earth spins around once every day to give us day and night. The earth goes around the sun once every year to give us different seasons.

    There are eight planets moving around the sun. We call the family of the sun and its planets the solar system. Mercury is the nearest to the sun, so it is very hot. It is the smallest planet. Venus is very bright and hot. It is the nearest to the earth. Mars is covered with orange-red desi and rocks, so it looks like a red star in the sky. It has seasons like the earth. Jupiter has more than 16 moons (卫星)and it is the biggest and heaviest planet. Saturn has more than 22 moons. The other planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, are all very far from the sun and very cold. We need a telescope(望远镜)to see them.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

①Does a lake on fire sound impossible ? If you think that water can't burn, you need to learn more about pollution.

②Let's go and see Bellandur Lake in the city of Bengaluru in India. Bengaluru is the center for many heavy industries. Electrical and electronic goods, computer parts and parts for planes and space rockets are produced there. Much of the waste from these and a large amount of the wastewater from local people run into the lake.

③These harmful mixed things have led the lake to become covered with a thick white foam(泡沫) that looks like snow when seen from far away. When the level of the water rises, the foam does too and covers nearby areas, even roads. When a fire breaks out on the lake, it is both frightening and dangerous. People who live or work near the lake also get seriously il l because of the pollution.

④The fire has drawn a great deal of attention recently, but burning lakes are nothing new. Pollution mainly happens in developing countries like India today. In the past, it mainly took place in Europe and America. Cuyahoga River, a river in America, had caught fire at least 13 times. The fire that caused the most attention was in 1969 when oil- covered areas on the river were set on fire by sparks(火花) from a passing train. The fire reached a height of over five floors and burned for about half an hour. By that time, people in America were more aware of its dangers and wanted to change.

⑤As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded in 1970 and the Clean Water Act (1972) was put into use. This Act required all rivers throughout America be clean enough to safely allow swimmers and fish to pass through by 1983. Due to these efforts, the Cuyahoga River has never had another fire and over 60 different species of fish live in the river.

⑥If history is a guide, will it be possible for people in India to bring an end to the pollution by changing the laws in their country, too? Like many nations, it's necessary to raise awareness of environmental protection among the general public. All of us must act!

 阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出各题的最佳选项。

The Tiaohua Festival is a main festival of the Miao people in Anshun City in Guizhou Province. Each year,the Tiaohua Festival attracts international tourists from all over the world. In 2008,it was included into the second batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List(第二批国家级非物质文化遗产名录). It is usually celebrated in the first lunar month every year. 

To decide the exact date of the festival,organizers have to think about many things,like lucky animal days(e. g. the tiger and dragon days are powerful,but the snake and pig days need to be avoided at all costs) and lucky numbers(e. g. "8" means rich but "4" means death). Organizers also need to make sure the date doesn't fall on the festival days of other communities. In this way,people from nearby villages can take part in the festival. 

Singing and dancing are the main activities of the Tiaohua Festival. During the festival,the Miao people wear their traditional clothes and silver accessories(配饰). The most important part of the festival is the chance for young people to meet possible marriage partners—men play a musical instrument and women dance to the music in the flower area. If a man plays well,listeners will cheer for him and he can win a woman's admiration. Then they may get married if everything goes well. Other activities include competitions of climbing a flower­decorated pole and the martial art.
