21、The surface of Mars is etched (蚀刻) with ancient river valleys and lake basins,Some re searchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. Today, Mars is too cold for much, if any,liquid water to exist, And 3.8 billion years ago,when the flowing water formed, the sun was fainter than it is today, making it even harder to imagine a warm Martian climate, That’s why many researchers think Mars may have gone in and out of deep freezes,
Some researchers have suggested that early Mars only melt when large asteroid (小行星) impacts or volcanic eruptions temporarily warmed the planet.But Kasting, a geologist at Pennsylvania State University thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast valleys that exist on Mars .Now, Kasting and his colleagues have come up with an alternative explanation: They think Mars may have experienced a series of climate cycles caused by changes in the strength of the greenhouse effect.
The idea goes like this: When Mars was cold and frozen volcanoes continued to erupt the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere.There, the gas blanket trapped heat and warmed the planet up until liquid water began to flow,forming Mars rivers and lakes. However, warm temperatures and abundant water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide,mitigating the greenhouse effect and cooling the planet back down again.Then the cycle would repeat.
Kasting shared his theory with other astronomers at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, and in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. So far, Kasting’s team has only shown that such an explanation is possible.But the researchers say field trips could help test the idea by looking for evidence of multiple warm events, and their duration.
【1】What made researchers believe that liquid water once existed on Mars?
A．The color of the planet,
B．The natural climate of Mars
C．The temperatures of the sun.
D．The geological features of Mars
【2】What is Kasting’s theory based on?
A．Large asteroids had no impact on Mars.
B．Volcanic eruptions were very frequent on Mars
C．Vast valleys couldn’t be formed in a short period of time.
D．Carbon dioxide and hydrogen were abundant in the atmosphere
【3】What does the underlined word “mitigating” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Imitating.
B．Reducing.
C．Predicting.
D．Enhancing.
【4】Which of the following might confirm Kasting’s theory?
A．The future Mars missions.
B．The publication of the journal.
C．The design of the climate model.
D．The cooperation with astronomers.

23、Fifteen volunteers have emerged from a cave in the southwest of France after spending 40 days without clocks, phones, or sunlight for a human isolation experiment.
The group of eight men and seven women lived in a cave as part of a $1.4 million project called Deep Time, which set out to explore the limits of human adaptability to isolation.
During their time in the cave, the volunteers slept in tents and made their own electricity with a pedal bike since there was no natural light. They also drew water from a well 146 feet below the earth. Since there was no sunlight, the team had to follow their biological clocks to know when to sleep, eat, or do daily tasks. To no one's surprise, they quickly lost their sense of time.
The group had no communication with the outside world and was not able to use phones or other electronic devices. One volunteer, Johan Francois, said he ran 10-kilometer circles in the cave to stay fit. He told reporters he had "instinct urges" to leave the cave.
But other volunteers felt differently, with two-thirds saying they wanted to stay in the cave for longer. "For once in our lives, it was as if we could press pause," said Marina Lançon, one of seven women in the experiment. However, she admitted it was also great to be outdoors and hear birdsong again.
Scientists monitored the volunteers closely during their time in the cave. They would regularly check the team's sleeping patterns, social interactions, and cognitive functions via sensors. The volunteers' brain activity was also collected before and after they entered the cave.
【1】What’s the purpose of the project “Deep Time”?
A．To explore how people can adapt to complete isolation.
B．To analyse the change of people’s sleeping pattern.
C．To encourage people to chase after natural life.
D．To inform readers of an amusing story.
【2】Which statement about the volunteers is true according to the text?
A．They had no communication with one another.
B．They used water to make electricity in the cave.
C．They performed daily tasks based on the sense of time.
D．They couldn’t use phones or other electronic devices for relaxation.
【3】What’s Marina Lançon’s attitude to this experience?
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive
C．Dissatisfied.
D．Critical.
24、Printing images is easy. Just select an image of a purple robot on your PC, for example, and press print. Your home printer exactly shoots drops of ink onto a flat piece of paper, creating the robot’s 2-D image. “Printing” 3-D objects is different. Take the purple robot. First select a file of the 3-D printer. Immediately, the printer begins making noise, and a nozzle (喷嘴) releases plastic material in thin layers. In two or three hours, a 3-D purple robot is standing before you.
3-D printing has developed to the point where printers can now create high-quality objects using a variety of materials, including metals. That means 3-D printers can now make final products that meet high industrial standards. 3-D printers are already being used to make parts for racecars and jets as well as man-made limbs and hearing aids.
So far, few homes have 3-D printers. That’s because 3-D printing is not only new to most people but also quite expensive. To bring 3-D printing to the masses, some retail stores (零售商店) plan to offer the service. For example, the Staples chain of office supply stores has announced that it will offer 3-D printing in Europe beginning in 2013. Customers will be able to submit their own 3-D designs to Staples website for printing. After the job is done, they’ll pick up their item at a nearby Staples store or have it mailed to their homes. This service is sure to encourage many more people to try out 3-D printing.
【1】According to this article, who are 3-D printed parts already helping?
A. People with physical disabilities.
B. People in the solar energy field
C. People who lack suitable housing
D. People in need of computer skills
【2】What will customers need in order to submit their designs to Staples?
A. A credit card account
B. Its local phone number
C. Professional experience
D. Access to the Internet
【3】What does the writer of this article imply about 3-D printing?
A. Its inventor is famous
B. Its future looks bright.
C. It is still quite cheap.
D. It will be of little use.
【4】What do we learn about the 3-D purple robot?
A. How long it can usually last
B. How it can darken its own color
C. How it gradually takes shape
D. How much it costs to produce
25、I find it interesting sometimes that even the most ordinary _________can have an impact on our awareness.
My wife, my daughter and I moved into our home nine years ago and we _________a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it does today.
We live on a corner, higher than street level. There is a rock wall _________our yard. But at the edge of the yard some rocks were thrown up onto the ground as if someone was in a hurry to _________. We called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we planted flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out to bring some _________ to the area.
Last summer I reached the end of the garden and found a tiny little _________ that I could not instantly identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could _________what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my back to the _________plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It was weak, with a tall skinny stalk and only one head on it. I decided to _________it and weed around it. As I moved away the rocks from the area, I noticed something __________. The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the __________.
That’s when I realized that __________a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we should have the __________of doing the same thing, too. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we are able to __________ our dreams. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the abilities to get out of the difficulty because it trusted the Universal Truth and believed that it would succeed.
Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to __________you. You will find a way to go under or around.
