A
Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed it to be. Astronauts who are expected to go there in the next ten years may find plenty of water to get their thirst away. If there is water, it will be much more possible to find life on Mars.
This is the view of 40 geologists who have been analysing(分析) thousands of pictures and other scientific information gained by robot explores(探测仪) in the 1960s and 1970s.
At first scientists thought the red planet was as lifeless as the moon with dust storms blowing over the large sandy deserts. But now the picture is very different with mountains and valleys cut by glaciers(冰川) and rivers running deep underground.
In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr. Michael Car of the US says, “I believe there is lots of water on Mars.” Water will be in the form of ice. But it could save explores from having to take water with them.
The report says that Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages past, because of its axis(轴线) having been more titled(倾斜) towards the sun.
No convincing signs of plant or animal life have been found by instruments soft landed on Mars although only nearby area of landing instruments could be examined. A. Mars was a dry old planet B. Mars was a warm old planet
C. Mars was an icy old planet
D. Mars was full of water
A. by the astronauts B. by the scientists
C. by robot explorers
D. by the geologists
A. Mars is the same as the moon
B. Mars has a warmer climate now C. there are glaciers and underground rivers on Mars D. there are signs of plant and animal life on Mars B. there are dust storms on Mars
D. Mars has a colder climate A. the weather on Mars is hot C. Mars has large sandy deserts
B
Astronauts have already visited the Moon and lived on space stations. They've never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. Astronauts will spend about six months getting to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months travelling back to the Earth. They'll be away from the Earth for about three years, so they'll need much food.
It's very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120 000 dollars to carry something that weighs(重) one kilo(千克). So an apple on Mars could cost 20 000 dollars! Of course, they will need to take much food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can't stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy.
At the moment, astronauts in space stations eat dried food. It's very light, so it doesn't cost much money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like carrots and lettuce(生菜).
Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They'll use these machines to change beans(豆) into food that tastes like meat or cheese. They probably won't eat real meat or cheese because it won't be possible to keep animals in space.
63. Which planet do the astronauts plan to go to next?
A. Mars. B. Space.
64. How long will it take to get to Mars?
A. About three years. B. About two years.
65. Why do the astronauts eat dried food?
A. Because it is cheap to carry.
B. Because it is cheap to buy. C. Because it is very healthy. C. The Moon. C. About six months.
66. What may astronauts do in the future?
A. Eat only dried food.
B. Grow some fresh vegetables on Mars. C. Grow food in their spacecraft.
67. What will they get from beans?
A. Apples.
B. Food that tastes like meat or cheese. C. Real meat and cheese.
C
In many stories on TV and in science fiction, humans can travel to stars far away. But so far, people have only been able to get to the moon.
What if a person wants to get to a star far away? It would take a lifetime to travel. People should have to move at least at the speed(速度) of light. But in fact, nothing can move faster than light.
Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second(秒), or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels about 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles. That great distance is called a light-year (光年). It is used to measure(测量) distance in space.
Strange things happen to an object(物体) when it moves very fast. If an object moves at 86% of the speed of light, it will be twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more Alpha Centauri is the closest star to the sun. It is over four light-years away. So if a human traveled at the speed of light, it would take him nine years to go to Alpha Centauri and come back.
68. About the speed of light, which of the following is true?
A. Light travels about 11 million miles a second.
B. Light travels more than 186,000 miles a minute. C. Light travels about 11 million miles an hour. D. Light travels about 6 trillion miles a year. A. Alpha Centauri B. the sun
C. the moon A. 老年 B. 变老 D. the earth C. 年龄 D. 时代 A. more than 4 years B. less than 2 years
C. about 9 years D. about 11 years 72. What's the best title(标题) of this article? A. The Distance Between the Sun and Other Stars B. How to Travel to Alpha Centauri C. Nothing Can Move Faster Than Light D. Life Is Too Short
