NASA’s Mars detector (探測器), Opportunity, succeeded in finding signs that water once existed on the planet. Opportunity landed on Mars in January. Scientists now believe that the planet could once have supported life.
This discovery was chosen by Science, one of the world’s leading magazines, as the most important scientific achievement of 2004 last Friday.
“This little, wheeled, one-armed box went around another planet and has done something no human has ever managed,” according to Science. “It has discovered another place in the universe where life could once have existed.”
“Although we still can’t say that life could have existed in this environment, it is now certain that there was water on Mars,” said Steve Squyres, one of the scientists working on the Mars mission. The evidence comes from pictures and chemical readings taken by Opportunity. It includes marks on rocks like those caused by flowing water on Earth and salty chemicals like those found in dried-out sea-beds. Scientists said the new evidence proved beyond doubt that water has existed on Mars. But it is still unknown whether the water on Mars was like an ocean or just ice.
While Opportunity has not found any signs of life, the presence of water means life is possible. “In everything we know about life on Earth, there is no example without liquid water,” Squyres said. “So water is important for the search for life on Mars.”
Researchers agree that a future mission (任務(wù)) should bring back physical samples (樣品). But some scientists worry about the risk that this could introduce dangerous foreign creatures to Earth. “The problem here is how to get the samples back,” Squyres replied. “I think it is our responsibility to limit any risk.”
1.________ prove that water existed on Mars.
|
A．The physical samples with salty chemicals |
|
B．The marks on rocks and salty chemicals |
|
C．Scientific achievements of 2004 |
|
D．Creatures from Mars |
2.Which of the following is TURE according to the text?
|
A．It is now certain that there was water on Mars. |
|
B．The water on Mars was like an ocean. |
|
C．Evidence of life on Mars has been found. |
|
D．Search for life on Mars is a great risk to humans. |
3.How did scientists draw the conclusion that there was water on Mars?
|
A．The world’s leading magazine has announced the fact. |
|
B．Scientists have taken many pictures and chemical readings on the Mars. |
|
C．Astronauts have got some rocks from Mars. |
|
D．Scientists have made a study of the pictures and readings sent back by Mars detector. |
4.It can be inferred that, if the creatures from Mars came to Earth, ________.
|
A．they would be kind to humans |
|
B．they would be cruel to humans |
|
C．they would be a great danger to Earth |
|
D．it would be hard to say whether it would be a good news or bad new |

A young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情況) to the way his father died five years ago．
The dinghy(救生橡皮船), used to take Richard Smith, 21, to his yacht(快艇), was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island. An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered.
Richard’s mother, Bicknell, said from her home in Hampshire, “It’s so much coincidence(意外). Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem, which included the date of his disappearance.”
“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy. We need to know this time what has happened one way or another. If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的過程).”
In November 1996, Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie, was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife. They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again, and their disappearance remains a mystery.
Richard is described as a talented and experienced sailor. He had sailed to the Caribbean in November to help a yacht race for entertainment. He ended the evening drinking in the Abracbabra bar but left after local police closed it for being too noisy.
About 2 am the following day Richard headed back for his dinghy. He started its motor before giving an elderly woman a lift to her yacht after her dinghy had gone missing. It was the last time he was seen.
65. 1.Richard Smith was ____ in 2000.
A. ten B. fifteen C. twenty D. eighteen
66. 2.People searched for Richard using ____ .
A. ship only B. ship and radio C. ship and plane D. yacht and car

Everyone makes mistakes in life, but for whales and dolphins, the “mistake” of landing on the shore costs the highest price---their lives.
People living along the coast of Australia and New Zealand have been shocked and saddened by the number of whales and dolphins that they have found on their beaches recently. Since November 28th, 96 whales and dolphins have died in Australia and 53 whales died in New Zealand. Although 20 whales were saved, some of these were not expected to live, as they were too weak to swim with the others back to sea.
Bob Brown, leader of Australia’s Green party, said the mass beaching was caused by the recent “sound bombing” of the ocean floor between the two countries. This is a method of testing for oil and gas reserves (儲藏量).
But mass beaching of whales has long puzzled scientists. Typically most members of the stranded (擱淺) group will appear to be perfectly healthy. “Some researchers believe that close relationship within the group causes the problem, if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave” said Shery Gibney, a leading biologist in New Zealand. “Some will come in and try and assist it; if they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”
Another common theory is that the whales’ navigation (導航) system are thought to break down in some way. It has been said that whales follow electromagnetic (電磁的) patterns in the sea-bed. The whales can get confused because these patterns sometimes change. That would be a bit like a new roundabout (環(huán)狀交叉路) being built on a road you were used to driving on. You might be confused for a minute when you come to it for the first time, and you might even take a wrong turning before getting back on your route.
A different idea is that when whales chase fish for food they end up in shallow waters because they are not paying attention to where they are going.
And yet, from time to time a group will swim on purpose into shallow waters and end up on the beach, where they die. If returned to the sea, some whales often show great determination in restraining themselves.
1.________ whales and dolphins would probably die in this mass beaching along the coast of Australia and New Zealand.
A. Less than 100 B. Less than 150 C. More than 150 D. 149
2.Which of the following can be used to explain the term “sound bombing”?
A. The terrible sound that is caused in the war between two countries.
B. Human activities that aim to explore the ocean floor.
C. The loud sound that whales and dolphins make.
D. The earthquakes that happen on the ocean floor.
3.Which of the following couldn’t probably lead to the mass beaching of whales?
A. A change in the electromagnetic patterns that whales follow.
B. New roundabout being built on a road.
C. Their full attention to the search for food.
D. Exploiting natural resources in oceans.
4.The passage is mainly about _______.
A. that whales and dolphins may make mistakes as well as human beings
B. how scientists have found the reasons for the mass beaching of whales
C. how human beings make use of the ocean resources
D. why the mass beaching of whales happens

Twenty-five years ago if you made a trip to the local library and searched for articles on globing warming, you’d probably come up with a few from the leading magazines in the world. As an Internet search on global warming now shows, the subject has become as rooted in people’s mind as Madonna or microwave cooking.
With the possible exception of another world war, a giant planet, or an incurable disease, global warming may be the largest danger to our planet. For decades human factories and cars have sent billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming. If steps are not taken soon to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere, the result could terribly affect human life. We have already seen growing destruction, such as drought and death in Sudan, flooding in Asia, bush fires in Indonesia, and fierce winter storms in central Europe.
The Republic of Maldives is barely above sea level. Its 250, 000 citizens are scattered across 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean. A strong typhoon could spell the end for the entire country, as sea levels could continue rising. The entire population would have to be moved away as the country disappears under the sea.
The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon that keeps our planet at a comfortable temperature averaging 60°F. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased nearly 30% because of the increased use of fossil fuels to run cars, heat homes and power factories. Without controlling, the amount of carbon-dioxide by 2100 may increase by 30%-150% and could lift the average global temperature by up to 2.5° F the next 50 years.
1..
With the first paragraph, the author intends to .
A. scold people for not paying enough attention to global warming
B. draw people’s attention to global warming
C. how to search for the articles on global warming
D. point out the serious effect of global warming
2..
Global warming could affect human life in the following ways EXCEPT .
A. producing more greenhouse gases B. causing more floods
C. making winter storms fiercer D. starting more bush fires
3..
The Republic of Maldives .
A. has moved away their citizens
B. will be more likely to be destroyed by a strong typhoon than by the rising sea level
C. is mostly likely to be destroyed by the rising sea level
D. will have to move away most of their population
4..
. Why is the Republic of Maldives especially mentioned in the passage?
A. Because smaller countries are easier to be affected by global warming.
B. Because seaside countries are in danger of disappearing.
C. Because it’s necessary to rescue a country before the sea level rises.
D. Because the serious result of global warming could end a whole country.
5..
. From the last paragraph, we can infer that greenhouse effect .
A. can only affect the earth in an unfavorable way
B. is something easy to control
C. is caused by human act
D. will be good to us if it remains at a proper level

Ears are for hearing — everyone knows that. But for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat (喉嚨), a new study found.
The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar (聲吶). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects.
The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 meters under the sea, where it is totally dark.
To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales. The whales had died and washed up on the beach.
Ted Cranford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head. Then, they modeled the process of sound traveling through the head.
The researchers knew that some sounds get to the ears of a toothed whale through a structure (構(gòu)造) called “the window for sound”. Found on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and has a large pad (墊) of fat on the inside.
When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale’s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the back of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears.
1.
Toothed whales look for food under the sea by ______.
A. watching the shape and size of their objects B. diving deep into the sea
C. sending and receiving sounds D. making lots of noises
2.
Researchers took X rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales in order to ______.
A. find out why they had died and washed up on the beach
B. make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head
C. make sure that sound travels through the head
D. know more about the way the whale hears
3.
Which of the following describes the way taken by sound waves through a Cuvier’s beaked whale?
A. A hole in the back of the jaw → the ears → the jaw → the throat.
B. The jaw → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the ears.
C. The throat → the jaw → the ears → a hole in the back of the jaw.
D. The ears → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the jaw.
4.
Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A. The throat is important to the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s hearing.
B. Ships send out sound waves like a Cuvier’s beaked whale.
C. The ears are actually useless to the Cuvier’s beaked whale.
D. The researchers haven’t found how the whales hear.
