The first part of a new science-fiction series （系列剧）was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飞船）which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, we’ll find other life forms great tools which will make amazing things possible.
Let’s think about these predictions. If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent? I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don’t think we’ll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek’s idea of life in the future is ‘communicators’. And we will be ablt to have conversatins with people who are on because you’ll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won’t have to examine you – a machine will ‘read’ your body. The strangest manchine includes a ‘teleport’ which will take people to a different placein a second!
The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion there’s only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company （公司）will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn’t improve, Star Trek won’t last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can’t see into the future!What is Star Trek?
| A．A TV play. | B．A popular song. |
| C．A spacecraft. | D．An alien. |
What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean?
| A．Lucky and happy. | B．Hopeful and confident. |
| C．Helpful and creative. | D．Thankful and popular. |
What’s the writer’s opinion about Star Trek?
A. The life forms on other planets are stupid.
B. Interesting ideas make a new series popular.
C. The new series might not be successful without better actors.Which would be the best title for the passage?
| A．Aliens on Other Planets. | B．The Idea of Human Life. |
| C．A Science Fiction. | D．A New Series about Future. |
Bike﹣sharing has swept across China，with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving．The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it，and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public．Bike﹣sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily．

My 14﹣year﹣old son，John，and I saw the coat at the same time in a second﹣hand clothing store．It stood out among big and old coats．It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, ＄ 28．I looked at my son and we both said nothing，but John's eyes shone．Dark．woolen coats were popular with teenage boys，but new ones could cost several hundred dollars This coat was even better．John tried it on and turned from side to side，eyeing himself in the mirror．It fit him so well．
John wore the coat to school the next day．After he came home，I asked，"Did the kids like your coat？"

Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know？ How do we know， for example， that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away？ And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars， the Sun？
The key to these questions is "evidence"， which means the facts， signs or objects that make you believe something is true．
Sometimes evidence means actually（实际地） seeing（or hearing， feelings， smelling …） that something is true． Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round． Sometimes our eyes need help． The "evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky， but with a telescope（望远镜） you can see that it is a beautiful ball． Something that you learn by direct seeing（or hearing or feeling …） is called an observation．
Often evidence isn't just observation on its own， but observation always hides at the back of it． If there's been a murder， often nobody（except the murderer and the dead person!） actually observed it． But detectives can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect． If a person's fingerprints match those found on a knife， this is evidence that he touched it． It doesn't prove that he did the murder， but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence．
Prediction（预测） helps to look for evidence． Scientists make a guess about what might be true． For example， if the world is really round， we can predict that any of us， going on and on in the same direction， should eventually find ourselves back where we started．
People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside， but not all the inside feelings are real evidence．
What can we do about all this？ When somebody tells you something that sounds possible， think to yourself： "Is there any evidence for that？" And， next time somebody tells you that something is true， why not say to them： "What kind of evidence is there for that？" Remember， always think carefully before you believe a word．
32． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A： What you see directly is real evidence．
B： Prediction helps to prove something if it is true．
C： People should always believe their inside feelings．
D： Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope．
33． Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 4？
A： To explain what prediction is．
B： To tell what observation is called．
C： To introduce how detectives work．
D： To prove evidence is not just observation．
34． The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 5means ．
A： finally
B： probably
C： completely
D： luckily
35． What's the best title of the passage？
A： Evidence speaks
B： Scientists make predictions
C： Inside feelings help get ideas
D： Observation offers the facts
