43、 than eight months.”可知答案。2D根据第五段的“Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water.”可直接得出答案。3A根据第五段可知，这些光滑的石头原先粗糙的边角会被磨平，就是因为水冲击的原因。石头不会被冲走，只有边角被磨平，所以在原地的是“光滑的石头”。4B根据第六段可知，如果有甲烷，就表示火星上有植物或动物存在的可能。但是“好奇号”到现在为止都没有在火星上找到甲烷，可见火星上至少现在是没有植物或动物的。5D根据文章的第一段可知答案。
