Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface.“If there is life on Mars, there is a good chance youd find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program.Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting.One photo taken at night by an infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm,suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out.“I said:Wow, thats a cave. ” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time;now we have found them.”He agreed such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold,radiation-soaked(充满辐射的),dry surface.“Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria. A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lava flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled,forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining lava to flow out, forming caves.”1. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How the caves were formed on Mars.B. How scientists found these caves on Mars.C. Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life.D. Scientists have completely recognized the surface of Mars.2. We can learn from the passage that.A. water has already been found on Mars B. the scientists found all the caves at nightC. it is certain that there is life in these cavesD. the surface of Mars is bitterly cold,radiation-soaked and dry3. According to the passage,Dr. Clarke was so excited because.A. such caves could provide energy for lifeB. they had finally found the caves on MarsC. such caves would be perfect places to hunt for lifeD. scientists had long been looking for these caves4. Necessary condition for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include.A. lava and energy B. water and radiation from spaceC. gases and lava D. water and protection from radiation【参考答案】1-4、CDBD【四川省2014“联测促改”活动模拟试题】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答落卡上将该项涂黑。Tuition fees for British students could reach as much as #20,000, a university vicc-president has warned.Prof. Nick Pctfon warned that universities will face additional economic pressures as student numbers increase, which could force them to increase home students fees.Student tuition is presently upped at #9,000 for British students.Speaking to the lines fligher Education, Prof. Petford, the vice-president of Northampton University,said that some universities with high brand value will be able to charge 17,000, 18,000 or 20,000 in the future. I am sure of that.The president of the National Union of Students Toni Pearce said: The suggestion that tuition fees should be charged at this level shows just how astonishingly out of touch some university vice-presidents can be.Prof. Petford argued there will be a change in how universities view home students - suggesting they will be treated more like international students.

The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it wont run into the street. So, they hire a company to set up an “invisible fence”, an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the “fence”, the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog “safe” (away from the street) and “at home” (contained inside the yard). The small word “BRAND” printed in blue means that “Invisible Fence” is registered as the companys brand name. Similarly, the “TM” printed after “your dog safe at home” stands for “trade mark”, a slogan registered specifically to one company. 1. The people set up an “invisible fence” _.
