So he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in different ways. For example, he didn't like the doctors' white coats.

Our once lively house became quiet and lonely. I missed and worried him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning.One of my messages says, "So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you'll wake up and find yourself lost."I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry.They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the white board when he was at home."I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!""Money is running short because I've bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!"Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles (文章). Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven't got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well- my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher!So I write back, "I've read all those articles, I'll take them as a loving son's hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makesme feel proud. We parents can't learn quickly and change in both body and mind. Thank you, my son."In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm.（1）From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that the son often wrote about ____________ in the past.A. studyB. hobbiesC. moneyD. future（2）The following EXCEPT ____________ are the reasons (原因) why Eric sends his mother all kinds of articles.A. giving his mother some things to doB. asking his mother for some more moneyC. helping his mother keep up with the timesD. helping his mother understand young men better（3）The writer's feelings about her son after leaving for university can be described as ____________.A. proud →angry →worriedB. proud →worried →angryC. angry →worried →pr oudD. worried-→angry →proud（4）Which part of a magazine may the article come from?A.

Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring?First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star— the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31°C and -12°C. That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.（1）How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order.a. Astronomers look for three key things.b. Astronomers look for and find a right star.c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star.A. a-b-c.B. b-a-c.C. b-c-a.D. c-a-b.（2）According to paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important?A. Water.B. Air.C. Rock.D. Food.（3）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. the EarthB. Gliese 581gC. the SunD. Gliese（4）What's the main idea of the text?A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.B. There are some planets like our Earth.C. Water, air and rock are important.D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.答案：10.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B【考点】日常生活类，说明文【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍了四个动画工作室，包括他们的位置、基本情况以及代表的动画电影等信息。
