第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
“It’s really a breakthrough,” said British scientist Guillem about the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar system.
Proxima b, or “Earth II”as you could call it , is a lttle bigger than our Earth, and its years only take 11days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf (矮小的) star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.
There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote: “Do you have poetry? Superheroes? Television? Diets? Mean bosses? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list. ”
The discovery of the planet made us wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the space postcards from Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11space probes (探测器), sent up into space in 1972 and the next year. Together with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. Gold records were sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens (外星人) on Proxima b had played the record , they would have found human voices and pictures that showed the rich diversity of Earth.
It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet—even if it has an atmosphere—as first , we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph. “Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet. ” the Chicago Tribune wrote.
1、What do we know about Proxima b?
A．It has an orange sky.
B．It is closer to the sun.
C．It has no sunrise.
D．It is as large as Earth.
2、What could be found on the gold records sent up by Voyager probes in 1977?
A．Pictures of a couple.
B．Maps of the solar system.
C．Recorded sounds.
D．Several postcards.
3、What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Earth moves to the south.
B．Proxima b gets closer to Earth.
C．Situation changes favorably.
D．Conditions on Earth get worse.
4、What was the attitude of the Chicago Tribune towards the discovery of the planet?
A．Excited.
B．Worried.
C．Uninterested.
D．Proud.

When I became an amputee(被截肢者) at the age of 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became 1 as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and 2 .
Too busy 3 physical pain and obvious limitation of movement. I was not aware of this 4 at first. There were so many difficulties before me. But I was determined to manage my work and life as well as before, feeling inspired about the progress I had 5 .
6 , as I made my first journey outside the hospital, society had already regarded me as a new status. Happy to be free of my 7 in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall as a 8 survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I got a rude 9 as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 10 my eyes forced me to realize they only saw my missing legs. Mothers 11 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying “God Bless You!” with 12 in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 13 at the empty trousers. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a 14 look, and childishly asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”
I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 15 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’?”
That incident made me think about how 16 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, a new appearance is an interesting curiosity and a learning experience, 17 adults often observe the same thing with horror. I began to realize that I also had been guilty of the same unsuitable reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye 18 , and speak in a 19 manner. By using a positive approach, I attempt to make society know the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a 20 quality of life. We disabled people also enjoy a colorful life.
