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. The author would like to tell usthrough the sixth paragraph. A. why there is no water on the Moon B. how the Moon was formed C. when the Earth struck the Moon D. where the Moon orbited 3. 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. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts. 【参考答案】14、BBCBC黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习科普环保类For as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to AntarcticaThis winter，they each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation(NSF)Bm they didnt go as scientistsMartin is a poet and Surgent is an artistThey went to Antarctica as participantsin the NSFs Artists and Writers programThe NSF is thegovernment agency that funds scientific research in AntarcticaBut it also makes it possible for artists，including filmmakers and musicians，to experience Antarctica and contribute their own points of view to our understanding of the continent.

They say development, climate change and bushfires have all related to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest figures suggest there could now be as few as 43,000. The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching. The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional(营养的)value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australias east and south
