24、Are we humans alone in space? Scientists have been working on this question for a long time. And recently, new discoveries offer more hope that some form of life existed on Mars in the past, and perhaps is still there at present.

According to a new report in the book Science, the Mars Explorer Curiosity has found more methane (甲烷) in the Martian air. It might suggest the possibility of life.

During the last 20 months, Curiosity has found methane many times, and four of them, it tested at a level 10 times higher than usual. “It’s a great increase,” said Christopher Webster, the lead scientist.

This new finding has made a big change. In September 2013, Curiosity found almost no sign of methane on Mars. Just weeks later, however, the explorer picked up the gas.

Methane is also found in Earth’s air, and comes from animal and plant life, as well as from the environment itself. If there’s methane in Mars’ air, where is it coming from? Scientists aren’t sure.

“There are many possible sources, such as actions between water and rock,” guessed Sushil, a scientist of the Curiosity team.

But the scientists have left the possibility open that microbes (微生物) could be the methane’s source. Also, for the first time, Curiosity found other organisms (有机物) in the rocks of Mars. Organisms are thought to be the basis to form life. Scientists aren’t sure where these organisms come from. They could either have formed on Mars or landed on Mars by meteorites (陨石).

For the next three years, Curiosity will keep looking for more organisms in rocks and exploring Mars.

【1】Where did Curiosity recently find methane?

A．In the Martian air.

B．In the air on Earth.

C．In rocks on Mars.

D．In the water on Mars.

【2】Scientists predict that there might be life on Mars because ________.

A．methane is a sign of life

B．astronauts sent to Mars have seen signs of life

C．the Mars Explorer has taken some photos of animals

D．the environment on Mars is similar to that on Earth

【3】Scientists think ________ may be the basis to form life.

A．rocks

B．meteorites

C．methane

D．organisms

【4】From the last two paragraphs, we learn that ________.

A．scientists are sure to have found life on Mars

B．methane is the basis to form life

C．there is more to learn about Mars

D．there are no rocks and water on Mars

26、   Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo（柔道）though he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, but he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.

“Teacher, "the boy finally said, "shouldn't I be learning more moves?”

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know, "the teacher replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first competition.

Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent（对手）became impatient；the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match.

Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy seemed worried. The referee（裁判）was going to call a time out when the teacher said to him, “No, let him continue.”

Soon after the match restarted, his opponent made a big mistake. At once, the boy won the competition. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and the teacher talked about the competition. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

“Teacher, how did I win the final with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered.

“First, you've almost mastered (掌握) one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense（防御）for that move is to catch your left arm. Your opponent in the final tried and made that big mistake.”

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

A.the disabled may get success B.Judo’s history can influence us

C.weakness can become strength D.every dog has its day

【2】Though he didn't quite understand why he was asked to practise one move for three months, the boy ________.

C.wanted to be a champion D.took part in many competitions

【3】What serious mistake did the opponent make in the finals?

A.He fell down on the ground. B.He forgot to throw the boy to the ground.

C.He only remembered that he would win. D.He tried to catch the boy's left arm and failed.

27、Jessica Long, a 29-year-old American swimmer, won four medals at the Tokyo Paralympic Games（残奥会）. For years, the Games have given her the chance to compete at the highest level, and something to look forward to every four years. “Since 12, when I won my first gold in Athens, I’ve had a wish to let more people know what the Paralympic Games are,” says Jessica, who lost her lower legs when she was a baby because of illness.

Participation（参加）in the Paralympics is at an all-time high at the Tokyo games. But they are relatively new to most people.

As early as 1888, some deaf athletes created their own sports clubs in Berlin, Germany. But the idea of competitions for disabled athletes didn’t spread widely until World War Ⅱ, when it became a way to help the injured. Ludwig Guttmann, a doctor in Great Britain, was the leader of the movement. He believed that participating in sports would be a good form of mental and physical recovery（康复）.

In 1948, on the same day as the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games in London, Guttmann organized the first contest for disabled athletes, which he named the International Wheelchair Games. Sixteen people in wheelchairs competed in archery（射箭）during the games. Then the games became an annual event. And in 1952, the Netherlands sent a team, making the competition international.

In 1960, the games officially became the Paralympic Games. That year, more than 400 athletes with disabilities from 23 countries got together at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. They competed in archery, basketball, swimming and other events. Since then, the Paralympics have been held at once after the Olympics in the same host city. For people like Jessica, the Games are a gift. “I don’t know where life is going to take me,” Jessica says, “but the Paralympics have given me this wild, amazing journey.”

【1】What is Jessica Long’s long-time hope according to the passage?

A．To win more medals at the Paralympics.

B．To make the Paralympics known to the public.

C．To get all the disabled take part in the Paralympics.

D．To pay more attention to athletes at the Paralympics.

【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Jessica’s legs.

B．Deaf athletes.

C．The Olympics.

D．The Paralympics.

【3】What does the author mainly try to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．Jessica is going on a nice journey in Japan.

B．Life is really hard for all the disabled people.

C．Athletes will get some gifts in the Paralympics.

D．The Paralympics mean a lot to disabled athletes.
