22、How the Grand Canyon (大峡谷) was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.
Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤坝) bursts.
Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔岩) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.
Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.
The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.
The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.

A. there are great lakes on Mars

23、 I was enjoying this afternoon more than I had expected. Often, the tryouts for the spring musical tested the limits of my patience and nerves, with one hopeful girl after another taking turns walking onto the wooden stage, delivering an adequate but uninspired version of some Rodgers & Hammerstein number, and then being politely excused by Mrs. Dominguez as the next name on the list was called.
However, this was to be my third straight year in the musical, and the confidence that my seniority afforded me around the more nervous newcomers allowed me to take pleasure in radiance (光辉)of my own balance.
I had already sung my audition (试唱)song an hour ago, starting the day's ceremonies. This year, I used "God Bless the Child", a choice I found to be quite sophisticated since Billie Holiday's version of it was familiar mostly to adults, and even then, mostly to adults of the previous generation. More importantly, it required a reserved performance, which I felt showcased my maturity, especially because most of the other auditioners chose songs that would show their enthusiasm, even if it meant their technical mastery would not be on full display.
Normally, the first audition was feared by most. Mrs. Dominguez would ask if anyone wanted to volunteer to "get it over with,” but no one would make a sound. Then, she would call the first name off her list and the room would drop into an uncomfortably serious silence as the first student walked nervously up to the stage. I often imagined during those moments that I was witness to a death-house resident taking his march toward a quick curtain.
But not this year. I had decided to make a show of my own self-confidence by volunteering to go first. Such a fearless act, I had figured, would probably instill (灌输)even more fear into my competition because they would realize that I had something they clearly lacked. Mrs. Dominguez had seemed neither surprised nor charmed by my decision to go first. Although she was annoyed by my escalating (增加)pride, I also acknowledged that I was one of the more talented actors and was probably correct in assuming myself a winner.
At this late stage of the afternoon, I felt like a queen, sitting in the back of the auditorium with my royal court of friends and admirers. They took care to sit far enough away from Mrs. Dominguez that they would not be caught in the act of belittling (贬低)the other students’ auditions.
To me, the endless parade of the ambitious who sang their hearts out for three minutes each was like clowns performing for my amusement. As Mrs. Dominguez read another name off her list, I prepared myself for a special treat.
【1】What did the writer do one afternoon?
A.She enjoyed her time watching the audition.
B.She performed in the school spring musical.
C.She attended the selective trial of the school musical.
D.She helped Mrs. Dominguez to select musical talent.
【2】The writer believed the song she chose for her audition .
A.was the most sophisticated song by Billie Holiday's version
B.would allow her to more effectively showcase her enthusiasm
C.would be the most inspiring Rodgers and Hammerstein number
D.would likely be more recognizable to her parents than to her friends
【3】The main purpose of the underlined statement in paragraph 5 is .
A.offer a contrast created by the writer's decision to go first
B.present reasons why this year's audition was the strangest
C.suggest that the writer's imagination no longer involved the same imagery
D.inform the reader that students' fears of going first were something of the past
【4】Why did the writer volunteer to perform the first audition of that day?
A.To guarantee her role in the play.
B.To break the uncomfortable silence.
C.To show the competitors her advantages.
D.To leave a good impression on the audience.
【5】The passage portrays the writer as .
A.concerned and nervous
B.proud and indifferent (漠不关心的)
C.friendly and generous
D.confused and surprised
24、Do you know the big rock experiment? You get a bucket (桶) and fill it half full of small stones. You then try to put several big rocks in the bucket, on top of the small stones. 【1】 So you empty the bucket and start over. This time you put the big rocks in the bucket first, followed by the small stones. The small stones neatly fill in the spaces around the big rocks.
【2】 If you put the small stones in first, the big rocks don’t all fit. But if you put the big rocks in first, everything fits, big rocks and small stones. Big rocks refer to your most important things. Small stones represent all the little everyday things that take up your time, such as housework, texting, and interruptions, etc. The lesson of the story? 【3】
During your weekly planning, arrange time for your big rocks by putting them in your calendar. For example, you might decide that the best time to get started on your history report is Tuesday night and the best time to call your grandma is Sunday afternoon. 【4】 It’s like making a reservation (预定).
If your big rock doesn’t have a specific time, write it somewhere in your planner where it can be seen. If you arrange time for your big rocks first, the other everyday activities will fit in as well. And if they don’t, who cares? 【5】 Take care of them next week.
A．But they don’t all fit.
B．Now make a plan of those times.
C．Then try your best to follow your plan.
D．Don’t put big rocks and small stones in one bucket.
E．You’d rather push aside small stones than big rocks.
F．If you don’t schedule your big rocks first, they won’t get done.
G．The difference is the order where big rocks and small stones were placed.
