PAGE 第 11 页 共 11 页 Unit 3 单元质量检测（三） Ⅰ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Taylor Richardson has her eyes on the universe. Ever since a young age, she knew she loved space and made her goal to go to Mars someday. In order to start achieving her goal, she did some reasearch and found out about Mars Generation. The Mars Generation was created so that those who love space and Mars would have a way to meet people with similar interests. In the organization, collaborative (合作的) energy and a supportive environment make sharing dreams exciting and easy. Now, Taylor is a student ambassador (大使) for the organization and it is her job to tell people about the program and its mission (任务). She once advertised a program called “Train like an Astronaut” and she hopes that her efforts will be able to excite young people and adults about space exploration.

B Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way.Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands off thinking in a high tech direction.Last October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming — from sowing and fertilizing to harvest — fully automatic.Th ... ...
