space suits should be almost like the ones astronauts use now, and except that they have to be warmer so that the astronauts can survive the cold temperatures. The space suits must also be able to withstand（承受） high pressure and potentially dangerous radiation that can kill.
The houses should be similar to our homes today with a slight difference. All of the houses and other buildings should be built inside a large dome（圆顶状物） or bubble. The
domes should be made out of glass, and would also be able to prevent radiation from affecting the people inside. The domes will be connected to a machine （like plants which turn carbon dioxide into oxygen）.
With Mars' population growing, how would the people on its surface get fresh food and water? Just like humans use domes, they can also use domes to grow plants. However, the domes where the plants are grown must be built to expand. Once we upgrade the domes to a larger size then we can grow more food by cultivating（种植） more plants. To get the food
or come in connect with other domes, there will be long narrow tunnels like roads that connect to each dome separating them by several doors so that the pressure in each dome can remain the same.
On Mars, so many other things are available to us. As humans, we can have access to rare and fairly expensive metals that aren ' t very easy to get hold of on Earth, and a colony on Mars enhances（提高） our chances of finding these metals. So when someone here on Earth says that going to Mars is impossible, please tell them that they 'll never know it until
they try and they may try very soon. After all it 's our future. Why not make it on Mars?
21.It is difficult for humans to live on Mars because of all the following EXCEPT

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (Xinhua)
— Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died
at the age of 95, according to media reports on Monday.
Lee, born in Stanley Lieber on Dec. 28, 1922, began his career in 1939 and joined the Marvel Comics in 1961.
Greg Cross, t he Chief Business Office r of Soul Machines, says, It 's well-documented that STEM teachers are in short supply in New Zealand schools. By using digital teachers, we are able to provide access to education to kids and communities
that might not have access to real teachers. ” Greg believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to have the attention of the next generation. He says, “The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. However, regardless of its popularity, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one thing, the avatar 's knowledge base is severely limited. For another, even the smartest digital avatars could never react to all the unexpected situations that educators have to deal with
He is considered as one of the most legendary names in the history of comic
books and the leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics. He co -created iconic fictional characters such as Spider-Man, X-Men, the Avengers, and many more.
Lee 's cha racters often have super powers, but they also have weaknesses. They we
humans, not gods. They not only struggled to save the world, but also to pay their bil make friends, and hold jobs. This made Marvel comic book heroes stand apart from its
competitor DC, which produced the seemingly perfect heroes like Superman and Wonder Wo
Those superheroes have been adapted into blockbuster films, most of which were made af Disney acquired Marvel in a 4-billion-dollar deal in 2009.
A. The human brain.
you're doing a good thing. ”
Praise from his Hollywood peers and colleagues was generous. President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige appreciated Lee 's unparalleled impact on the industry. “No one has had more of an impact on my career than Stan Lee,” Feige said. “Our thoughts are with his family and the millions of fans who have been forever touched by Stan's genius, charisma and heart. ”

Maths and Music
An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.
I'm partly referring here to the “Mozart effect ”, where children who have
been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all
like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.
Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination（协调）. That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.
Abstract s tructures don't exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we don 't
hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic（语
言
的） ability. Maybe this is beca use grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn 't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is
strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn't be any connection between the two.
Let's see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D ” kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart
'
s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik（小夜
曲).
The second phrase（小
节）is a clear answer to the
first
. The
listene
r
think
s: “The f irst phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和
弦）;
what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations
in the first place.
32.What does the author say about “Mozart effect ” ?
A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.
B.The findings from it gave people wrong information.
C.The interest people showed in it was unexpected.
D.The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.
33.The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that
.
A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.
B.certain skills may be developed through practice.
C.music and maths have something in common.
D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.
34.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that .
A. language seems more like maths than music does.
https://www.360docs.net/doc/6c810708.html,nguage is less appealing to learners.
C.mathematicians are good at music learning.
D.the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.
35.What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?
A. How music differs from maths.
B.Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.
C.Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.
D.How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
