researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. she stares at it carefully. a researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. as the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus-until a third, with three black spots, is presented. her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? the same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. perhaps it is just the newness? when slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? no again. babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. the effect even crosses between senses. babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.1babies are sensitive to the change in _.a. the size of cards b. the colour of picturesc. the shape of patternsd. the number of objects2why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?a. to reduce the difficulty of the experiment b. to see how babies recognize soundsc. to carry their experiment further d. to keep the babes interest.3where does this text probably come from?a. science fiction b. childrens literaturec.

vapourizing (蒸汽化) from the red planets south pole, scientists announced today, calling it the most direct evidence yet of water in the form of ice on the martian surface.a picture taken by mars express, january 15, 2004 from a height of 273 km shows a channel (reull vallis) once formed by flowing water east of the hellas basin on mars. the search for water on mars which could be a sign of life has greatly interested scientists for centuries. mars watchers have long believed that the planets poles contain frozen water, but scientific findings in the past including nasas mars odyssey orbiters evidence of large amounts of ice were based more on inferences (推论), european space agency scientists said. while mars odyssey has been able to indirectly show the presence of water at the pole using temperature monitors, the european camera has for the first time been able to map the polar cap using infrared technology that shows where water molecules are present, said scientist jean-pierre bibring. if mars once had surface water, there were possibility for it to support life, although members of the european project have said that it remains too early to draw conclusions. nasas mars odyssey, which has orbited the planet for two years, previously turned up evidence of lots of ice mixed with the soil, as little as 40 centimetres from the surface. james garvin, lead scientist for nasas mars exploration program, told the associated press today that mars express had offered further confirmation of what scientists have long known: “mars is a water planet.”at a news conference earlier, he said the expresss results were “not unexpected.”“thats wonderful results, its instant science, and i think scientists are going to want some time to think about what that means in the context of what were learning.”as far back as 1940, scientists using telescopes saw vapours they believed indicated the presence of water. but in the 1960s the first mars mission showed the planet to be frozen, dry and covered with craters (陨石坑) and deep ravines (沟壑).1. which of the following statements is true according the the text?a. mars express is also called the red planet.b. mars

results were not unexpected because _.a. as far back as 1940 scientists already found water on marsb. in the 1960s scientists found in the first mars mission that mars was a dry planetc. it is well known to all that mars is a water planetd. scientists had got indirect evidence of the presence of water on mars long before4. which of the following is the best title for this text?a. scientists
