It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below-50 degrees and winds of 100 miles (161 kilometres) per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it at some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted. Although there is no life on Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life a long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes (火山); the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways Mars may have been similar to Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the suns heat in the planets atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）， simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make Mars fit to live on. It is judged that the whole process might take between 100, 000 and 200, 000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on Mars and the problems connected with living there.56.According to the passage, the planet Mars has no _ on it.A.windB. dustC. mountainsD. animals57.It is believed that on Mars now _.A.there is a large amount of ice at the polesB.there is a thicker and warmer atmosphereC.there are some kinds of simple plantsD.there are so many active volcanoes58.What is the topic discussed in the second paragraph?A.Certain gases should be used to warm Mars.B.Plants should be grown to make Mars fit to live on.C.Mars could support life on right conditions in the future.D.People could live on Mars in special closed environments.59.A most suitable title for the passage is _.A.No life on MarsB.A study of MarsC.The possibility of life on MarsD. The Future conditions on MarsBDecember 06 - Canada: For those of you who have been following this story, the third suspect (嫌疑犯) in the Canadian Cat Mutilation (残害) case has been caught. On March 8, after just under a year of searching, the Find Matt Campaign received information that would comfort many. Now known as Mattew Kaczorowski, 21 years old, this cat mutilator was picked up by the police from the streets of Vancouver.In May 2001, three young men took a young cat, named Kensington after the area of town from where she was taken, from the street to a house. They began to cruelly treat and mutilate her to death, videotaping the attack. Two of the suspects, recognized as 21-year-old Jesse Champlain Power and 24-year-old Anthony Ryan Wennekers, were arrested shortly after the incident. Neither helped the police in an effort to find the third suspect, at the time known only as Matt.In May 2002, Katie set up the Find Matt Campaign, with the goals of raising public awareness (意识) about animal cruelty and having as many eyes as possible look for Matt.I don t think Matt would have been caught had it not been for Katie Woodward s information, said Detective Gordon Scott, one of the arresting officers.Kaczorowski faces the charges of animal cruelty, theft under $ 5, 000 and possession of property taken by crime, but one charge remains absent: that of animal cruelty. According to Canadian law, this kind of crime must be charged within six months.The case is now before the Courts.While finding Matt is a big step in the right direction of this case, it is not over. It remains that Kensingtons guardian (监护人) has not yet come forward. It is important that her guardian speak out to lessen the possibility of the charges being dropped.60.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.A cat was killed cruelly in Canada.B.A Canadian cat mutilator was caught.C.People pay attention to animal protection.D.No crimes can escape from being charged.61.Which of the following is in correct order according to the time when the events happened?a.Matt was caught by the police.b.Find Matt Campaign was set up.c.Jesse and Anthony were soon arrested.d.Three young men mutilate a cat to death.e.Katie got the information about the third suspect.A.b, e, a, d, cB. e, a, d, c, bC.d, c, b, e, aD. a, d, b, e, c62.Which one of the charges does Matt certainly have to face?A.Stealing less than $ 5,000.B.His possession of property.C.The crime of animal cruelty.D.A six-month imprisonment.63.What can we infer from the passage?A.Catching Matt was easy for the police.B.Very few people care about Matts case.C.Katie started the Find Matt Campaign to protect animals.D.The final result of the case depends on the cats guardian.CMickeys GoalLast night was the last game for my eight-year-old sons soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my sons team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my sons teammate, Mickey O Donnel. With shouts of Kick it! echoing (回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted（沸腾）. O Donnel had scored!Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won! For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey! Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, It was a tie. Everybody won.64.What was the score of the soccer match?A.Two to two, equal to both the teams.B.Three to one in Mickeys teams favor.C.Two to one in the opposite teams favor.D.Everybody won because of Mickey s goal.65.The underlined word hush in paragraph 3 means _.A.cheerB. cryC. laughterD. silence66.What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?A.The result of the match would fail his son.B.His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.C.Mickey would again hug the opposing players.D.His son would understand Mickeys wrong goal.67. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.both teams liked and respected MickeyB.both teams were thankful to Mickey for his goalC.Mickey didnt mind though his goal was wrongD.Mickey was a kind-hearted boy and hoped everybody won 68. The purpose of the author in writing the passage is _.A.to tell a joke to make readers laughB.to suggest we should not mind losingC.to show enjoying a game is more than winning a gameD.to present his sons fine qualities of understanding othersDAll over the country these days, electronic mail messages are ending with this strange little mark :-) or one of its many variants （变体）like :-(.It was 20 years ago that Scott Fahlman taught the Net how to smile. The Carnegie Mellon computer scientist has devoted his life to man-made intelligence, the practice of teaching computers how to think like humans, but the bearded scientist is perhaps best known for a flash of inspiration (灵感) that helped to define (定义) Internet culture.By the early l980s the Computer Science group at Carnegie Mellon was making heavy use of online bulletin boards or bboards. A good many of the posts were humorous. The problem was that if someone made a humorous remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke. This problem caused some people to suggest (only half seriously) that maybe it would be a good idea to clearly mark posts that were not to be taken seriously. After all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or the tone of voice that communicates this information when we talk in person or on the phone.Soon Sept. 19, 1982, Fahlman typed :-) in an online message. I had no idea I was starting something that would soon pollute all the worlds communications channels, he wrote later. The smiley face has since become common in online communication, allowing 12-year-old girls and corporate lawyers alike to mark their messages with a quick symbol that says, Hey, Im only joking.This creation caught on quickly around Carnegie Mellon, and soon
