What they found was that the average color of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form. Most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a “blue period” when young blue stars filled space. Now the universe is in a “green period”They believe it will finally enter a “red period” when the older，redder stars appear.“The reason for the color changing is that the rate of stars forming is changing，”said Ivan Baldry，an astronomer who worked to find the average color of light in the universe.Research presented by NASA scientists shows that the highest point of star forming may have occurred earlier than previously(以前)believed. It was probably very soon after the “Big Bang(宇宙大爆炸)”that many scientists believe gave birth to the universe.There is no way any human could actually see the green color. “The only way to see it is if you saw all the universe from the same distance away and it was not moving，” Baldry said. Baldry and his coworker，Karl Glazebrook，have both joked about possible marketing(营销)opportunities for the new color.Perhaps color of the universe T shirts or coffee cups could become popular. But Baldry allowed，“I dont know if you can patent(专利)a color，thats not our business. We havent actually been to a paint shop yet to see if they have a name for this.” 1The astronomers discovered the color of the universe_.Awhen they were researching on the age of the universeBwhen they attempted to test theories about the forming of stars and galaxiesCto prove that the universe is continuously changingDand showed that the stars and galaxies may have formed earlier than previously believed答案：B第二段第一句“The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.”说明了discovery是在理论检测过程当中作出的。2According to the astronomers，_.Athe universe is changing its color all the timeBall the heavenly bodies are green at presentCthe universe has changed its color several timesDthe universe will finally turn red答案：D第二段最后一句“They believe it will finally enter a red period when the older，redder stars appear.”为该选项提供了依据。从第二段可看出宇宙的颜色由蓝到绿，最终将变而还会变红，所以C选项中的已经变了几次不符合事实。而all the heavenly bodies远远大于文中的stars这一范围。A选项中的all the time表示的频率过高。3We can infer that the most popular color of T shirts would be_.Ared Bblue Cgreen Dlight green答案：D综合第一段第三句“What they found was that the average color of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)”和最后一段第一句“Perhaps color of the universe T shirts or coffee cups could become popular.”可看出答案。4Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？ANo human can see the real color of the universe. BThe theory of “Big Bang” is widely received by scientists.CThe rate of stars forming is causing the change of the universes color.DHumans can receive light from at least 200，000 galaxies.答案：AD选项来自于第一段第二句；C选项来自第三段第一句；B选项来自第四段最后一句。A选项与第六段有很大的差异。BUS researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently，increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.The lake，which dates back some 3.4 billion years，appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1，500 feet deep，said the team from the University of Colorado.“This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars，”said Boulder s research associate，Gaetano Di Achille，in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Rese arch Letters.“The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake，which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon(溪谷)in which it was found，which then opened out into a valley depositing(使淤积)sediment(沉积)which formed a delta(三角洲)“Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us，”said assistant professor Brian Hynek，adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch，about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years，according to the study.Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.5. The size of the lake found on Mars is_.A80 square milesB1，500 square milesC3.4 billion square milesD300 million square miles答案：A细节理解题。根据第二段中“The lake，which dates back some 3.4 billion years，appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles”一句，可推知答案。6. When the lake existed，the weather on Mars was _.Ahot and wet Bwet and warmCcold and dry Dcold and wet答案：C细节理解题。根据第六段中it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry知，答案为C。7. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars？A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.BBecause someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there CBecause past life has been found in other deltas on Mars DBecause some people are said to have already seen life marks there.答案：A 细节理解题。由原文最后一句可直接找到答案。8. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？ AThe Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.BThe lake might have existed 3 .4 billion years.CThe discovery can t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.DThe lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.答案：D 推理判断题。由第一段内容可知火星上湖岸线的发现只是增加了人们发现亿万年前火星上曾经存在生命证据的可能性，但并不能推出火星上现在有生命。.短文填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For someone who is such a successful investor，Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy.
