1.

根据第二段“Itwouldtakeatleast21monthstoreachMars,learnaboutitssurface(表面)andreturntoEarth.SoitwouldbeabighelpifthespacemencouldgrowfreshfoodonMarsitself.”可知，到达火星、了解其表面并返回地球需要很长的时间，因此如果宇航员能在火星上种植新鲜食物，那将是一个很大的帮助。故选C。2.

根据第三段“FarmingonMars,however,willbeveryhard.There'splentyofwaterthatcouldbetakenfromicejustbelowthesurface,butthelandonMarsismissingthenutrients(养分)thatlivingthingsneed.”可知，火星上的土地缺少生物所需的营养物质，由此推知火星的土地很贫瘠。故选D。3.

1.

根据第二段“Weoftenfeelalittleuneasywhenreceiving,althoughitisnotverynoticeable.”可知，接受时我们常常会感到有点不安，虽然不是很明显；由此推知当我们被赞美时，我们可能会感觉不舒服。故选C。2.

根据“Weshouldpracticereceivingallthepleasuresthathappentouseveryday.（我们应该练习接受每天发生在我们身上的所有快乐。）”和“Butarewetrulyreceivingthemwhentheyhappentous,orarewebusywithothermatters,notnoticing?Weshouldlearntheartofreceiving:acceptthegiftslifeoffersusandshowourappreciation(感激)forthem.（但当它们发生在我们身上时，我们真的在接受它们吗，还是我们忙于其他事情而没有注意到呢？我们应该学习接受的艺术：接受生活给予我们的礼物，并表达我们对它们的感激之情。）”可推知，此处takethemforgranted表示“想当然地”，与D选项“不带感激地从中受益”语义相近。故选D。3.

根据最后一段“Wemustrememberitishardertoreceivethantogive,andtrytopracticereceiving.Thispracticewillbenefitusgreatly,makingusbecomegoodreceiversaswellasgoodgivers.”可知，我们必须记住，接受比给予更难，并努力练习接受。这种做法将使我们受益匪浅，使我们成为一个好的接受者和好的施与者。由此可推断人们可以通过接受好的事物来改善人际关系。故选D。4.

根据全文内容和“Thispracticewillbenefitusgreatly,makingusbecomegoodreceiversaswellasgoodgivers.”可知，本文讲了在生活中我们很容易成为一个给予者，而不善于接受；并介绍了如何学会接受的一些方法。选项A“做一个好的接受者和给予者”符合文意。故选A。25.【答案】【小题1】Heorshemaydosomethinguncoolonpurpose.【小题2】Becausethechildmaybeguidedinawrongway.【小题3】Bygivinghim/herchancestousehis/herabilitiestobehelpfultoclassprojects.【小题4】Anotherchildwithwhomtheirchildwantstobefriends.【小题5】Thepassageismainlyaboutwhyitisimportanttohelpanunpopularchildandhowhe/shecanbehelpedtogetonwellwithothers.【解析】1.

根据第二段“Helpingachildlikethishastobedonecarefully,becausethechildmaybeguidedinawrongway.”可知帮助这样的孩子必须要小心，是因为这个孩子可能会被误导。故答案为：Becausethechildmaybeguidedinawrongway.。3.

根据倒数第二段“Whenyouplanweekendtrips,picnics,movies,andothershows,inviteanotherchildwithwhomyourchildwantstobefriends.”可知父母在计划像周末旅行这样的家庭活动时可以邀请上他们的孩子想与其做朋友的小孩。故答案为：Anotherchildwithwhomtheirchildwantstobefriends.。5.

通读全文可知本文主要讲述了为什么帮助不受欢迎的孩子很重要以及如何帮助他们和同学友好相处。故答案为：Thepassageismainlyaboutwhyitisimportanttohelpanunpopularchildandhowhe/shecanbehelpedtogetonwellwithothers.。26~28.【答案】D、C、B【解析】1.
