I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece of news caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover （火星探測器）.Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind:Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached.“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...” Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m.,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me stories and point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there,yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple:because we’re curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 56.How did Clara get the news about the essay contest?（no more than 10 words） 57.Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?(no more than 10 words) 58.What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?(no more than 15 words) 59.What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean?(1 word) 60.In your opinion,why is curiosity important?(no more than 20 words) 答案： 56.By reading a TIME for Kids magazine./From a TIME for Kids magazine. 57.She won the essay contest held by NASA./She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”./“Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 58.She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about the stars./Her grandma told her stories about the stars./They sat together talking about the stars. 59.Stay/Remain/Live/Hide. 60.Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or invention./With curiosity,we keep asking questions and exploring the unknown world./Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 閱讀下面短文并回答問題（請注意題后的詞數(shù)要求）。 （2013·山東高考） [1]ean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis,Minnesota.He became a millionaire when he was only 24.His father was wealthy,but he did not help his son.Getty made his millions alone.He made his money from oil.He owned Getty Oil and over 100 other companies.The Fortune magazine once called Getty “the richest man in the world.” [2]But money .He married five times and divorced five times.He had five children but spent little time with them.None of Getty’s children had very happy lives.
