A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water. The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth. “If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the studys lead author. “The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moons surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water. “The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said. Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth. On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water. “An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp said. 1. A new study indicates thaton the moon. A. there is plenty of water B. water is unlikely to exist C. water existed in the past D. there is a little water now2.

What does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph? A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon. B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon. C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon. D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth. 4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study. B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth. C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water. D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. There are enough water on the Earth. B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moons surface. C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen. D.

It is a pity that I did not feel so good as the scenery and housing along. The bus journey was truly beautiful but it is not humanly possible to enjoy such things when all you can think of is this Chinese bus going to get some of my carrots on its floors and seats? I was very relieved to arrive in Lijiangthe place seemed bigger than Dali and initially more pretty as a picture. However, after walking for a bit around the place, I got the feeling that the place seemed overly touristy. This traditional and old-looking town had a very new feeling to it as most of the old style buildings looked very new. This was hardly surprising as the town suffered a major earthquake in 1996, but all over the place even now, they were still building “old” style housing. Feeling rather let down by the place, Peter, Rashad and I headed out for a meal. There were lots of barbecue (烤肉) type places where you selected your food to eat. Peter spoke to the restaurant people who told him that the place was cheap. We then made the big mistake of staying in the place without seeing the menu. Amongst other things, such as meat, we had also some tree and normal looking mushrooms cooked. When the bill arrived, it felt like we were having our pants pulled down. We did not think that Lijiang could get any worse until we saw the nightlife. The music was loud in the clubs or bars along the streets. “Cool, this might be some sort of Chinese dance off.” I was thinking. Given my previous bad experiences of Lijiang, I should really have known better. However, the good things about the place are numberless, such as the attractive natural scenery, the ancient architecture, the century-old practices, and the hospitable locals. 1. From the first paragraph we can learn that. A. the bus journey was boring and uncomfortableB. the sides of the road were polluted seriouslyC. the scenery isnt beautiful as expectedD. the bus jogged along on the rough road 2. The underlined word “initially” means. A. indeedB. at firstC. in the endD. really3. The author had a very new feeling because. A. it was the first time that he had visited LijiangB. many tall buildings had sprung upC. the ancient town took a new lookD. the ancient town was man-made in a way4. How did they feel while they were in the restaurant? A. They thought they had appreciated good food. B. They believed the bill was wrongly calculated. C. They regretted having ordered mushrooms. D. They had a more expensive meal than expected. 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph? A. The author had a good impression of the music in the clubs. B. The author once visited the town and loved Chinese dance. C. Most of the people in Lijiang are warm-hearted. D. The natural scenery has been damaged by noises. 【参考答案】17.DBDDC 社会生活类-阅读理解。 Just over a quarter of American adults now read news on their cell phones, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. The survey results being released by the group Monday offer another sign of how people are changing the way they get information. Technology has been reshaping the news business and the way consumers relate to it for more than a decade. The latest shift is being driven by the exploding popularity of phones that can easily access the Internet. The new study found that 26 percent of Americans get news on their phones. Pew doesnt have comparable data for say, two or three years ago. But evidence of the shift in habits can be seen in this finding: About 43 percent of those under 50 said they are mobile news consumers, compared with 15 percent of older respondents. Still, some things dont change. Readers No. 1 concern when they look for news on their phones: the weather. Of the 37 percent of cell phone owners who said they use the Internet on their phone, 72 percent said they check weather reports. Current events came in second with 68 percent. Pews survey offered a wide range of statistics on peoples news habits. It showed people are not relying on one medium. Just shy of 60 percent of respondents get news from both online and offline sources. And 46 percent said they use four to six different types of media on a typical day. The Web is also helping to turn the news into more of a social experience: More than 80 percent of respondents get or receive news via e-mailed links. The results were based on telephone interviews with 2,259 people over the age of 18, conducted between Dec. 28 and Jan. 19. For questions to that entire group, the margin of error was 2.3 percentage points. On questions to just Internet users, the margin was 2.7 percentage points. 1.
