Dear Earthmen(地球人),
I enjoy my stay on your interesting planet(星球).
I think I know the life on Earth now and I would like to tell you my ideas.
First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels(輪子). All these small boxes run around and around, and finally stop to rest. You leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.
After resting all day, you get back in your little boxes. There you sit and look at very small glowing boxes with moving pictures in them.
There is only one thing I don’t know. Some angry boys fought for a little round (圓的) ball. Everyone shouted(大聲喊) but they kept fighting. They were angry, because they had to stay in boxes all day, I think.
Thank you for this chance(機會) to get to know you.
Yours,
The man from Mars(火星)
【小題1】How many kinds of “boxes” does the man from Mars tell us?

A.TwoB.ThreeC.FourD.Five
【小題2】What do the boxes on wheels refer to(指的是)?
A.HousesB.BuildingsC.CarsD.TVs
【小題3】What does the word “glowing” mean in Chinese?
A.發(fā)光的B.開心的C.漂亮的D.黑暗的
【小題4】What’s the main(主要的) idea of the letter?
A.To say goodbye to the Earthmen
B.To tell the Earthmen what the Earth is like.
C.To tell the Earthmen he doesn’t like the Earth.
D.To tell the Earthmen he is leaving the Earth soon.


【小題1】C
【小題2】C
【小題3】A
【小題4】B

解析【小題1】本文提到4種boxes,分別為人們住的地方,人們工作的高樓大廈,人們所做的交通工具,人們所看的電視,這些事物在外星人看來都好像盒子一樣,故本題選C。
【小題2】在上班的過程中坐帶有輪子的盒子指的應該是我們坐的車子,故本題選C。
【小題3】看到帶有會動的圖片,是電視的盒子,電視應該是能發(fā)光的,故glowing是發(fā)光的意思更符合文意,故本題選A。
【小題4】本文主要是介紹4中盒子,這四種盒子恰好是地球人通常的生活習性,所以本文的主要內(nèi)容是外星人告訴地球人地球是怎樣的生活,故本題選B。

Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn't mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for(競選)President: Because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.
I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal.
I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.
Love,
Dad
