27、   For centuries, humans have wondered whether there is life on Mars. Scientists have asked why Mars is losing its atmosphere. Last week, the question was answered with a song. “The answer is blowing in the wind,” said Michael Meyer, taking a line from a Bob Dylan song. Meyer is the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. It turns out that solar winds from the sun are slowly blowing away Mars’ atmosphere.

Today, Mars has a thin atmosphere. It is cold and dry, with a desert-like environment. Jakosky says it used to be much more different. “When we look at ancient Mars, we see a different type of surface. One that had valleys looked like they were carved by water, lakes that were standing for a long period of time. We see an environment that was much more able to support liquid water.”

Recently they found a kind of liquid water that flows with salt down a mountain area of the planet. But it is not always there. Scientist Michael Meyer describes what they found: “We’re seeing water, with the salt that’s able to flow down the sides of the cliff. Why is this important? That means there is water on Mars, on the surface of Mars today.”

Scientists already knew that ice exists on Mars. So why is it important to find liquid water? Meyer explains: “It means that we have a resource. And when we're looking at sending humans to Mars, water is one of the key things that we need to have, not only for astronauts to drink, but also to make oxygen, to make fuel.”

Sending humans to Mars is still in the distant future. NASA is aiming for the 2030s. Both US government and private industries are developing rockets and spacecraft to get people to Mars.

【1】Why is the atmosphere of Mars disappearing?

A.Because Mars doesn't have water to keep the atmosphere.

B.Because the atmosphere is affected by the earth.

C.Because the atmosphere is blown away by the solar wind.

D.Because Mars has no condition to make the atmosphere exist.

【2】Which of the following are the functions of the water on Mars?

①Taking shower. ②Drinking for astronauts. ③Making fuel.

④Watering plants.   ⑤Producing oxygen.   ⑥Washing clothes.

A.②④⑤ B.①③④⑤ C.②③④⑥ D.②③⑤

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Whether water exists on Mars or not isn’t important to humans.

B.Mars’ atmosphere has changed a lot since it existed.

C.We can successfully send humans to Mars from now on.

D.Water can not appear on Mars because of its thin atmosphere.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.Mars Has Conditions to Support Humans

B.Mars Is Strongly Influenced by the Solar Wind

C.Mars and Its Thin Atmosphere

D.Water Does Exist on Mars

28、Protected areas have mixed success in protecting wildlife, according to the largest study on the effects of reserves(保护区).

A team led by researchers from the U. K. examined water bird data from 1, 506 protected areas and analyzed more than 27, 000 bird populations across the world. The authors write that their study, published in Nature, is the first robust(强有力的), global assessment of protected area influence on bird populations. The scientists found that protected areas with management of water birds and their habitats were more likely to benefit those populations.

“Our study shows that, while many protected areas are working well, many others are failing to have positive effect, ” lead author Hannah Wauchope of the University of Exeter says in a statement. Rather than focusing only on the total global area protected, we need more focus on ensuring areas are well-managed to benefit biodiversity(生物多样性) . “The study compared water bird populations before and after the establishment of protected areas and also compared trends of similar populations within and outside of protected areas. Water birds respond quickly to changes in site quality, making them a good group to look at when studying the impact of protected areas.

“In the majority of places we looked at, wildlife populations were still stable or were increasing, but they weren’t doing any better than in unprotected areas, ” Wauchope says. “That’s disappointing, but not surprising. There seems to be this disconnect between people talking about how much land is protected and whether those areas are actually doing anything positive. ”

This research comes ahead of a United Nations meeting in China to discuss biodiversity goals for the next decade. Several countries have already devoted to protecting 30 percent of the planet by 2030, yet researchers say protection alone does not necessarily ensure positive outcomes for species.

“Efforts to reach a certain area-based goal such as 30 percent by 2030--without a focus on improving the condition of existing protected areas will achieve little, ” says co-author Julia Jones from Bangor University. “When world leaders gather in China later this year to set goals for the next decade, I really hope to see a focus on effectiveness of protected areas, rather than simply how much surface area is devoted to them.”

“We are not saying protected areas don’t work, ”Wauchope concludes in the statement. “The key point is that their effects vary hugely, and the biggest thing this depends on is whether they are managed with species in mind-we can’t just expect protected areas to work without effective management. ”

【1】What is the purpose of the UK’s study?

A．To see whether bird populations have increased in protected areas.

B．To test whether water birds can adapt to new environments.

C．To record the changes of water birds worldwide.

D．To help water birds survive in hard conditions.

【2】Why are water birds chosen as the study subject?

A．They are an endangered species

B．They can sense environmental changes.

C．They can help change the quality of waters.

D．They can hardly be found outside protected areas.

【3】What fact makes Wauchope feel disappointed?

A．Protected areas are not attractive to water birds.

B．There is a decline in the number of protected areas.

C．There is not enough protected land around the world.

D．Protected areas fail to work better than unprotected areas.

【4】What is Hannah Wauchope’s advice about protected areas?

A．They should occupy a large area.

B．They should host various animals.

C．They should be under good management.

D．They should give water birds more freedom.

29、   Art has always been a polarizing(分化的)subject.Some people like realism,others like abstract.But do you know why some people value art in the millions,while others see the same piece as little more than a child’s finger painting?

Many consider art to be quite random in terms of our likes and dislikes.But according to new research,there may actually be a scientific reason behind our fondness for certain works.The answer lies in how a person’s brain breaks down the visuals(视觉效果)of a painting combined with their judgment.

To prove their theory,neuroscientist(神经科学家)Kiyohito Iigaya and his team from the California Institute of Technology(Caltech)gathered more than 1,300 volunteers and asked them to rate 825 different paintings from four different art genres(类型).

After analyzing the data,scientists found that the same groups of people tended to prefer similar aspects of the same paintings.These characteristics were then grouped into“low-level”features like color and blending,and“high-level”features like the emotion behind the painting.

From this experiment,Caltech’s system was then able to predict an individual’s specific taste in art and organize different works into one group,according to the paintings’features and volunteers’preferences.

In a second test,researchers repeated the experiment on six volunteers,showing each 1,000 paintings while inside an MRI—a machine that scans a person’s brain activity.The test revealed(揭示)that the different features of a painting are sent to the part of the brain that deals with valuing items,allowing someone to form their overall opinion.

Finally,the team repeated the first test on new volunteers.Again,the algorithm(算法)was able to accurately predict individuals’art preferences.According to Iigaya,this shows that the factors that contribute to whether a person likes an image are universal,not random.

Lesley Fellows,a neurologist at McGill University who studies value judgments,stated,“We know a lot about‘how’the brain carries out actions,but‘why’is far less well understood.”

【1】What did the Caltech team try to discover?

A.What kinds of artwork appeal to people.

B.Why only some people value art.

C.Whether an individual’s preference for art is predictable.

D.Whether one’s mood influences their opinion of artwork.

【2】How did the Caltech team’s first experiment help their second test?

A.Some features of paintings were categorized（分类）.

B.It helped decide the types of paintings to be used.

C.Part of the brain to process paintings was identified.

D.Volunteers were grouped based on their response.

【3】What did the Caltech team find from their second test?

A.The brain reacted differently to different paintings.

B.MRIs influence people’s opinion of paintings.

C.Individuals have different valuing systems in their brain.

D.A certain part of the brain helps people judge paintings.

【4】Why does the author quote Lesley Fellows’words in the last paragraph?

A.To question the Caltech team’s research.

B.To approve of the research on why we make value judgments.

C.To show there is still a lot left to learn about the brain.

D.To point out the focus of the future brain research.

31、

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
