15、文化也正在消失，整个世界正在缩减成一个小村庄。.阅读理解In 2004, NASAs Opportunity rover found evidence in Martian (火星的) soils that water had once flowed across the surface there, arousing hopes that the red planet may once have supported primitive life.But a new study throws_some_cold_water,_and a big pinch of salt, on those
16、hopes. “Liquid water is required by all species on Earth and weve assumed that water is the very least that would be necessary for life on Mars，” said study team member Nicholas J. Tosca, a Harvard University postdoctoral researcher. “However, to really assess Mars habitability we need to consider t
17、he properties of its water. Not all of Earths waters are able to support life, and the limits of terrestrial (地球上的) life are sharply defined by waters temperature, acidity and salinity.”Tosca and his team analyzed salt deposits in the 4billionyearold Martian rock investigated by Opportunity. The new
18、 analysis shows that the water that would have flowed across these ancient Martian rocks may have been very salty. “Our sense has been that while Mars is a bad environment for supporting life today, long ago it might have more closely resembled Earth，” said Andrew HKnoll, also of Harvard and on the
19、study team. “But this result suggests quite strongly that even as long as four billion years ago, the surface of Mars would have been challenging for life. No matter how far back we peer into Mars history, we may never see a point at which the planet really looked like Earth.”The research was presen
20、ted in February at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston. Halophiles, or organisms that can tolerate highsalinity waters, are known to exist in places on Earth，but they likely evolved from organisms that lived in purer waters, scientists think, makin
21、g it unlikely that life would actually arise initially in extremely briny (多盐分的) waters.The high salinity, however, “doesnt rule out life forms of a type weve never encountered，” Knoll added, “but life that could originate and persist in such a salty setting would require biochemistry distinct from
22、any known among even the most robust halophiles on Earth.” Knoll and Tosca also say the finding doesnt rule out the possibility that less salty waters once flowed on the planet. The best title of the passage is_. A. Mars Perhaps Too Salty for Life B. Salt Water on Mars C. Life on Mars D. Research Ab
23、out Life on Mars答案与解析：A主旨大意题。本篇文章主要说明“机遇号”探测器在火星土壤中发现有水流过火星表面之后，一个研究组织发现这些水的含盐量很高，可能不适合生命的存在。所以选A项。 2. What does the author mean by saying “throws some cold water” in the second paragraph? A. A new study let the researchers down. B. A new study proves the former hope does not work. C. It proved that
24、 there exists life. D. We should analyze the hope calmly.答案与解析：D词义猜测题。前面说到人们对火星上曾存在生命充满着希望，后面说到可能水含盐量太高不适合生命的存在。这里的意思是这个研究给这个希望浇了冷水，意思是要冷静分析，不要太乐观。3. According to Andrew H. Knoll, the study suggests that_. A. the surface of Mars was not suitable for life even long ago B. the surface of Mars was not
25、like the surface of the Earth C. long ago the surface of Mars looked like the surface of the Earth D. the surface of the Earth is bad for life答案与解析：A细节理解题。文章第五段说到even as long as four billion years ago，the surface of Mars would have been challenging for life。故应选A项。4. From the passage we can know that
26、_. A. there is possibility that there once exist less salty waters on the Mars B. no life existed on the surface of the Mars C. life on the Mars disappeared 40 billion years ago D. high salty water on the Mars stops life coming into being答案与解析：A推理判断题。文章最后一句表明这个发现并不能排除火星上曾经有淡水流过。故推断选A项。.七选五根据短文内容，从短文

Unfortunately, a British stud
28、y has found that this practice could have negative long term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood. Between 1993 and 1995，Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 fullterm newborns, each of whom weighed very little for their age. The babies moms had
29、 decided not to breastfeed(用母乳喂养). _2_ The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for the
30、ir first 9 months. _3_ They found 83 babies from the normalformula group, 70 babies from the extraformula group, and 95 babies from the breast fed group. _4_ According to the latest data, children who had received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressures than those in the other two
31、 groups. Seven human test have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding, they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters. No matter how big a child is at birth, he or she will probably reach the same adult height no matter how quickly the baby grow
32、s. But reaching ones adult size at a slowtomoderate speed may have a lot of benefits, as Singhal says. _5_A. Half of these children were given a normal infant(幼儿)formula for 9 months.B.

Six to eight years later, the researchers gave the children a series of measurements and tests. E. The results were quite surprising. F.
