24、Researchers said they had found out that there was once an ancient fresh water lake on Mars that might have been able to support life.
A team of researchers from the US Curiosity Rover Mission, analyzed (分析) some mudstone and fine-grained sediment (细粒沉积物) which can tell us that there was at least one lake around 3.6 billion years ago.
The team said their analysis showed that the lake was calm and likely had fresh water, including key biological elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur (硫磺). Theoretically, such a lake would provide perfect conditions for simple living things.
The findings were published in the US Journal Science and presented at the American Geophysical Union’s fall meeting in San Francisco. “It is important to note that we have not found signs of ancient life on Mars. What we have found is that there once existed a lake on its surface which might make it possible for some simple living things to live billions of years ago,” Professor Sanjeev Gupta said in a statement. Gupta described the new research as “a huge positive step” for the exploration of Mars.
In previous studies, scientists found evidence of water on Mars’ surface in other rocks. However, the new research provides the strongest evidence yet that Mars could have been habitable enough for life to continue.
【1】Researchers have found evidence that an ancient fresh water lake probably existed on ________.
A.the Earth
B.Venus
C.Mars
D.the Moon
【2】The following biological elements EXCEPT ________ have been found on Mars according to the analysis.

B.nitrogen
C.hydrogen
D.carbon dioxide
【3】The underlined word “habitable” in the last paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.
A.可居住的
B.无法生存的
C.习惯的
D.不可能的
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The researchers thought it impossible for a fresh water lake to exist on Mars.
B.Gupta thought of the new research as “a huge positive step” for the exploration of Mars.
C.Researchers have taken great efforts to find signs of ancient life on Mars.
D.The findings about the fresh water lake haven’t been published in the US Journal Science.
【5】On which column of a book can you find this passage?
A.Science.
B.Travelling.
C.Life.
D.Education.
【6】What is the passage mainly about?
A.How did the fresh water lake disappear on Mars?

25、
It’s been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid, which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time, The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound, not even the characters talking). The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”, played by Chaplin, and his adopted (领养的) child, played by Jackie Coogan. The pair develop a partnership where the six-year-old boy breaks windows and runs away, so that Chaplin’s character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy, it also has some tragedy, reflecting Chaplin’s own life. He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died. Chaplin was known for being hard to please, and it is said that if he could, he would have played every role in every one of his films. When Chaplin visited a theatre, a dancer brought his son, Jackie Coogan, on stage, and Chaplin knew he had his co-star (联袂主演者). Chaplin later wrote, “All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them. With Jackie it was easy.”
Like the Kid in the film, Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor. They lived in London and were raised by their mother. When Chaplin was 10 years old, his mum became too ill to look after her sons, so they had to take care of themselves. He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于) on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. “Perhaps that’s why the film had some truth,” he said.
【1】The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A.why The Kid was made
B.when The Kid was on
C.how The Kid got successful
D.what The Kid is about
【2】We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ________.
A.always visited the theatre alone
B.was possibly talented in acting
C.knew much about Chaplin before
D.played every role in Chaplin’s films
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin?
A.He had a poor childhood experience.
B.He was brought up by his father.
C.He looked after his mother very well.
D.He produced films with his brother.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A film about a dancer
B.A family in London
C.A place for film-making
D.A life on film

27、Thanksgiving Day
Almost every culture in the world has held celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest. The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a festival of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.
In 1620, a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World. Their first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow any crops, and without fresh food, half the colonists died from disease. The following spring Indians taught then how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists. They showed them other crops to grow in the unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish.
In the autumn of 1621, many crops of corn, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists and much to be thankful for, so a festival was planned. They invited the local Indian chief and 90 Indians. The Indians brought deer to roast with the turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists. To this first Thanksgiving, the Indians had even brought popcorn. In following years, many of the original colonists celebrated the autumn harvest with a festival of thanks.
Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, a different date every year. The Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion(重聚)at the house of an older relative. All give thanks together for the good things that they have.
