A new study suggests that dark markings on the planet Mars represent sand—not water. The research in 2015 suggested that lines on some Martian hills were evidence of water. Yet American scientists now say these lines appear more like flows of dry sand. If water is present, it is likely to be a small amount. Water in liquid form would be necessary for microbial(微生物的) life.
NASA, the American space agency, says more research is needed. Michael Meyer is the lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration programme. He notes that the latest study does not reject the presence of water. But he admits, “It just may not be as exciting as the idea of rivers going down the sides of cliffs(悬崖). ”
The new findings come from a team led by Colin Dundas of the United States Geological Survey. His team measured 151 of these lines in 10 areas. Most of the lines end with slopes between 28 degrees and 35 degrees. These measurements are similar to active sand dunes(沙丘) on both Mars and Earth. A small covering of dust that moves and sometimes becomes lighter might help explain the markings. They usually appear in the Martian summertime, and then disappear until the next year. If these lines are dry, this suggests that recent Mars has not had large volumes of liquid water. Dundas and his research team say that many questions remain.
“I still think that Mars has great potential for having had life early on in its history,” Meyer says. “As long as that's true, we also have a reasonable possibility of life still being on Mars. It just happens to be cryptic or well hidden.”
NASA currently has no robotic vehicle—either on Mars or in development—with the ability to climb steep slopes. The lack of such equipment has engineers coming up with ideas like Martian helicopters or planes without pilots.
1.What do American scientists find on Mars now according to their study
A.A lot of little life. B.An amount of water.
C.Some Martian hills. D.Dark markings are sand.
2.When do the markings come out
A.In Martian spring. B.In Martian summer.
C.In Martian autumn. D.In Martian winter.
3.What's Meyer's opinion about having life on Mars
A.Doubtful. B.Trustful.
C.Indifferent. D.Objective.
4.What does the underlined word “cryptic” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Undiscovered. B.Strange.
C.Magical. D.Icy.

The universe has never failed to catch mankind's attention. The ancient humans came up with stories to explain the presence of the sun and other planets. As time went by, humans set their sights on exploring the vastness of space. In 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon's surface. 1
It allows people to know more about the universe.
Undoubtedly, space exploration has answered the question of whether the earth is round or not and proved that the earth does circle around the sun, and not the other way round. 2 It gives people a deeper understanding of the universe and provides more information about the world they live in for them.
It paves the way for advanced technology.
Scientists are always developing new technology for space programs, but the good news is that these new innovations(新方法) aren't just useful to astronauts or for space programs. 3 In fact they have already led to the development of modern products and devices that many people use, for example, the breast cancer test imaging.
4
Space exploration doesn't just involve scientists or astronauts; it also requires the skills and labor of many engineers, research assistants, technicians, mechanics, and other professionals. If space exploration were stopped today, these people would become jobless, and they wouldn't have the means to support themselves or their family.
It can offer solutions to many problems.
Aside from collecting information about outer space, many space exploration programs are used to solve some of the problems of our modern society. Some programs, for example, help scientists learn more about the earth's atmosphere and know how to better predict weather and natural disasters. 5 This may be the solution to the earth's growing population.
Space exploration is one of the biggest achievements of humans as a whole, and it has paved the way for greater scientific understanding and technological advancement over the years. There is no reason why we should stop our exploration.
A.It creates many jobs.
B.But it does much more than that.
C.It was a big step in space exploration.
D.They can also be used in other industries.
E.They also help scientists know more about the earth.
F.Others focus on looking for planets that can support human life.
G.Since then, space exploration has been going on and brought many benefits.

能力提升练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国科学家的一项新的研究发现:火星上黑色的斑点是沙子而不是水。
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“A new study suggests that dark markings on the planet Mars represent sand—not water.”可知,科学家发现火星上的黑色斑点是沙子而不是水。故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段倒数第三句“They usually appear in the Martian summertime, and then disappear until the next year.”可知,这样的斑点会在火星的夏季出现。故选B。
3.B 推理判断题。根据文章第四段Meyer说的话“我仍然认为,火星在其历史早期存在生命的可能性很大。”可推知,Meyer相信火星上有生命。故选B。
4.A 词义猜测题。此处是在说火星上存在生命的可能性,Meyer相信火星上是存在生命的,根据画线词后面的“or well hidden”可知,画线词所在句的意思为“它只是碰巧没被发现或者说隐藏得很好”。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.suggest v.表明;暗示 2.represent v.代表
3.evidence n.证据 4.note v.指出;特别提到 5.finding n.调查发现;调研结果 6.remain v.继续存在;遗留
7.potential n.可能性;潜力 8.reasonable adj.有理由的;合理的 9.equipment n.设备 e up with提出
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了探索太空对人类的益处。
1.G 过渡句。根据前文“As time went by...became the first person to walk on the moon’s surface.(随着时间的流逝,人类决心探索太空的浩瀚。1969年,宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗成为第一个在月球表面行走的人。)”和后文的几个小标题可知,此处承上启下,G项“从那以后,太空探索一直在进行,并带来了很多好处”符合语境。故选G。
2.B 过渡句。根据前文“space exploration has answered the question of...and proved that the earth...”可知,太空探索回答了人类的一些问题;后文谈到它让人们对宇宙有了更深的了解,并为人们提供了更多关于他们生活的世界的信息。这也是太空探索为人类所做的事情,B项“但它做的远不止那些”承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
3.D 过渡句。根据前文“but the good news is that these new innovations aren’t just useful to astronauts or for space programs(但好消息是,这些新方法不只是对宇航员或太空计划有用)”和后文的关键信息“modern products and devices”“breast cancer test imaging”可知,它们也会应用于其他行业。D项“它们也可以用于其他行业”承上启下,符合语境。故选D。
4.A 主旨句。 根据空格的位置可知此处为该段主旨句。该段主要讲的是太空探索不仅涉及科学家和宇航员,还需要工程师、研究助理、技师等其他专业人员,如果停止太空探索,这些人将失业。A项“它创造了许多工作”符合本段主旨,且与其他段的主旨句句式一致。故选A。
5.F 细节句。根据本段第一句中的“many space exploration programs are used to solve some of the problems of our modern society”可知,许多太空探索计划被用来解决我们现代社会的一些问题。后面举了例子“Some programs...help scientists...”,F项“另一些则专注于寻找能够维持人类生命的行星”也是一个例子,且和上文形成some...others...的结构,同时,设空处后面的“growing population”照应了选项中的“support human life”。故选F。
易错归因 本题容易受前面“help scientists”的影响而误选E项,因为E项中有“also help scientists”。
【高频词汇】 1.presence n.存在;出现 2.pave vt.铺(路)
3.professional n.专业人士;专家 4.achievement n.成绩,成就 5.as a whole作为一个整体;总体上

13.C 根据空格前后内容可知,随着“天和”核心舱进入太空,中国“开始”了一系列建设空间站的发射任务。故选C。A.离开;B.切断;D.推迟。
14.B 根据空格前后内容可知,所有这些成就极大地“促成”太空的和平使用。contribute to表示“促成”。故选B。appeal to呼吁,吸引;respond to回应;belong to属于。

长难句
原句 The landing was carried out exactly as planned, which has made China the latest member of the club of the world’s pioneering explorers, and shows that China has developed the technologies independently.
分析 本句为主从复合句。句中关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,在该定语从句中,and连接两个并列的谓语动词;第二个谓语动词shows后的that引导宾语从句。
译文 这次登陆完全按照计划实行,这使中国成为世界先锋探索者行列的最新成员,也表明中国已经自主研发了这些技术。
