More than a hundred years ago, an American produced a game. He called it indoor tennis. The Americans were not interested in it at first so he sent it to his London friends and it became very popular in Britain. The game was then played across the dining room table or on the floor with the net hung between two chairs. The balls were made of cork or rubber. The bats were made of wood. A few years later a hollow(空心的) ball like the one we use today was invented. The game then quickly spread all over the world. An Englishman once made a bat covered with rubber.

As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（无情）.
The rose is a symbol（标志）of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.
（ ）56．“Every dog has its day.” means “_______”.
A. Everybody in the world is lucky. B. Each person lives his own way of life.
C. If one works hard, he’s sure to succeed. D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.
（ ）57．The underlined word “negative” means ________ in Chinese.
A. 正面的 B. 负面的 C. 中性的 D. 有趣的
（ ）58．From the passage, we can infer（推断）that the word “copycat” is most likely to describe a person who__________ in western countries.
A. likes following（效仿）others B. enjoys writing books
C. is good at copying notes D. loves drawing cats
（ ）59．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Words show differences in culture. B. Chinese people prefer dogs to cats.
C. Western people think cats to be good friends.
D. Rose is the national flower of all western countries.

At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet-Mars. Our own planet, the earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. 61
Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars-it takes months. However, by 2100,spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. 62
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. 63 There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear Special shoes to make themselves heavier
64 People will have more space. Living In a large building with 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
根据短文内容，从下面选项中选出能够填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余的。
A. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars ！
B. Life on Mars will be better than that on the earth in many ways
C. However, can these plants produce water for us?
D. We haven't found any life on Mars yet so far
E. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars
