But if so, she had to wait forever.A photo of what looks like a female figure with her arm reaching out was among several taken on Mars and sent back to Earth by NASAs Mars explorer Spirit, Britains Daily Mail reported yesterday.Though no official confirmation has come from NASA on whether the figure is an alien (外星人) or an optical illusion (幻觉，视错觉) caused by landscape (特殊地形) on Mars, it has set off the Internet discussion whether really there is life on Mars.As one enthusiast (热心人) put it on the newspapers website, “These pictures are amazing. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw what appears to be a naked (裸体的) alien running around on Mars.”Another wrote,“If you show me another rock in another photo from Mars, which naturally looks like that, I will reconsider.” A third contributor, who came closer to the majority view, said, “Ah, the human eye can be tricked so easily.”The news of the mystery woman on Mars came just days after a team of French scientists claimed to have discovered proof that Mars has high thick clouds of dry ice, which floats across its orange sky, Indian newspaper Hindustan Times reported.Using data from the OMEGA spectrometer (光谱仪) on board European Space Agencys Mars Express, the team found the existence of ice clouds which some-times become so thick that they throw quite dark shadows on the dusty surface of the planet.36. The writer wrote the first paragraph to _.A. introduce a beautiful woman on MarsB. attract the readers attentionC. introduce his or her opinionD. introduce what he or she had found37. What does “it” refer to in the third paragraph?A. Official confirmation. B. NASA.C. The figure. D. The Internet discussion.38. How many opinions about the truth of the existence of a woman on Mars did the writer give?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.39. The writer tends to think the figure like a woman on Mars _.A. is an alienB. is a woman sent to Mars from the EarthC. is a stoneD. is a dark shadow thrown on the dusty surface of Mars by ice cloudsBIf you give something to someone for free, will that person value it and use it? Development experts have debated this question for decades. Some think the act of paying causes people to value something and use it more. Selling necessary health treatments, others argue, may deny them to the people who need them the most.Consider, for example, chemically treated bed nets, which kill mosquitoes and protect people against malaria (疟疾) while they are sleeping. William Easterly, an economist at New York University, believes this is one example of development having gone wrong. In a recent book, Professor Easterly suggests bed nets given freely in Africa are often used for the wrong purpose. Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends bed nets be given out freely and used by whole communities. The success of a large free bed net campaign in Kenya led the WHO to announce this recommendation.This debate will likely influence social programs in the developing world. Many non-governmental organizations support the creation of self-supporting programs in poor countries. Goods and services are sold for a price to help these programs survive.According to Rachel Glennerster, who runs a research lab doing development and poverty studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her several studies have proven that small price changes have a big influence on the number of people who use a product. A price change will reduce the total amount of use of the product as well, she says. She has also found no evidence that the very act of paying for something changes how people use it.As for a particular product among special populations, some development experts argue that pricing is useful. When it comes to bed nets, Miss Glennerster says research shows no evidence of this. People are just as likely to use a bed net if they paid for it or not.40. The debate among experts focuses on _.A. the use of assistance-related productsB. the importance of social programs for the poorC. a popular way to help the poorD. a special use of bed nets in Africa41. According to some experts, certain health treatments _.A. should necessarily be free B. are too expensiveC. cannot be received by the poor D. may only be sold to the rich42. From Easterly we can infer that _.A. people in some African countries should be charged some money for bed netsB. the WHOs advice may not be always practicalC. many Africans dont know the function of bed netsD. the case of Kenya is doubtful43. What may be the possible change in the social programs, according to the passage?A. Many of them will likely not be organized by the government.B. Many of them will support the development of poor countries.C. Some of them may teach the poor how to do business.D. Some of them may become financially independent.44. Whats Glennersters attitude towards bed nets?A. More studies should be done on their being given out for free.B. Theyre much influenced when their price changes happen.C. Its wrong to limit their use only within special populations.D. No obvious advantage can be found when they are sold.CIt will make unpleasant reading for dieters who have been hoping that light exercise was the key to weight loss. For it seems the most successful slimmers walk a marathon once a week, according to research.A study found that those who exercised for 60 to 90 minutes a daywalking the equal of a marathon each weektended to shed at least two stones and kept the weight off for six years. The data doesnt support the popular theory that gentle exercise is enough to stay slim.The American Association for Advancement of Sciences Conference on Sunday also heard fresh calls from a British expert for a more urgent global response to the obesity crisis. Professor Philip James, chairman of the International Obesity Task Force, believes the obesity epidemic (流行病) is now too serious to be treated as a “lifestyle choice”problem.“Just as the threat of climate change has begun to be taken seriously when it may be almost too late, the threat of an obesity-related health disaster around the world needs immediate action because, like climate change, its effects are very difficult to reverse (挽回),” he said. The professor wants governments and industry to work together to deal with the problem of obesity. And he warned the crisis would not be settled simply by telling people to exercise and eat less.Calling on world leaders to reach an agreement on fighting obesity, Professor James said major changes were needed in food production, advertising and town planning. Healthy food should be made cheaper, the advertising of junk food to children should be clearly forbidden and towns should not be built around roads and cars but around walking and public transport.“We can no longer afford to wait,” he said. “If we fail to act until we have the perfect solution, it will be too late.”45. That light exercise can stay slim is _.A. a past thoughtB. a correct opinionC. an opinion to be tested D. a popular wrong opinion46. Professor Philip James compared obesity crisis to _.A. a lifestyle choice B. the threat of climate changeC. a natural disaster D. an economic crisis47. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to deal with the problem of obesity.B. How to exercise and what to eat.C. How to sign an agreement.D. How to make healthy food.DWASHINGTONGood news for the nations babies: Nearly 90 percent of newborns are getting tested for a lot of rare but devastating (毁灭性的) genetic disorders. Three years ago, specialists began to urge that every U.S. newborn be checked for 29 conditions, to detect the few thousand who will need early treatment to avoid death or other serious problems.The federal government (联邦政府) doesnt have national screening guidelines, but more states are following the advice on their own. As of June 1, 40 states required testing for more than 20 of those disorders, says a March of Dimes report issued Wednesday.Topping the list, 13 states including Oklahoma and Montana plus Washington, D.C. required testing of every newborn for the entire list of 29 conditions, which range from sickle cell anemia (镰状细胞血症) to less known diseases such as the metabolic(代谢) disorder LCHAD.New Hampshire also began testing for all 29 conditions on July 1, after the reports deadline. The report marks steady progress: Just 38 percent of babies were born in states with intensive screening when the March of Dimes counted in 2020, and 64 percent last year. This year, that number rises to 87.5 percent of newborns, or about 3.6 million babies.Still, almost half a million infants are born in states that require testing for 12 or fewer of the conditions, the analysis found. They include Arkansas, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Washington. Another two statesKansas and West Virginiapassed laws this year requiring checks for all 29 disorders, but that expanded testing hasnt yet begun.48. Specialists originally urged that every U.S. newborn be checked for 29 conditions in _.A. 2020 B. 2020 C. 2020 D. 202049. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. early treatment can hardly avoid other serious problemsB. the public has little knowledge of the disease LCHADC. the expanded testing hasnt yet begun in West VirginiaD. many states were ordered to carry out the checks this year50. According to the passage, which of the following requires testing for less than 29 conditions?A. New Hampshire.B. Montana.C. New York. D. Oklahoma.51. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Newborns Tested for Genetic DisordersB. Rare but Devastating Genetic DisordersC. Specialists Urged Every Baby Be CheckedD. National Screening Guidelines in the U.S.AEThe Contemporary China Youth Population Development Studies Report was released in November 2020 by the China Teenagers Research Center and Chinas Population Development Studies Center at RenMin University.The report shows that, although urban birthrates are declining, the percentage of young Chinese living in cities and towns is rising faster than that of the rest of the population.Lu Yule, Dean of the Department of Youth Work at Beijing Youth Politics College says the trend benefits both the cities and the youth. The cities can draw on fresh blood for future growth; the youth have a better chance to develop themselves and be in touch with new ideas.However, there are also hidden difficulties. According to Lu, the urban youth who dont have a registered permanent residence might find it hard to ensure they are treated as equals alongside those who have.The high percentage of young migrants benefits the mutual interaction and communication of different regions, according to Xiao Julian, a sociology expert at Bei-jing University. However, it can cause cultural clashes or conflicts in lifestyles.Although the employment rate for both men and women has declined, the employment rate for women has declined by a larger margin. “Due to gender discrimination, women tend to stay in education and get higher degrees, including masters,” says Hour Jawed, a member of the research team.About 8.86 million people aged 16-29 belong to “the NEET group”. Experts say “the NEET group” cant be simply defined as those who “feed off the parents”. Xiao points out that in most cases people in “the NEET group”are undergoing a transitional（过度） stage in their lives, during which its fine for them to seek help. Their longer or final aim is always to find jobs or study abroad.52. According to a new survey, the report is written to explain that _.A. young Chinese are traveling more todayB. the employment rate of young people is decliningC. what the Chinese aged between 16 and 29 doD. young Chinese are tempted(吸引) by cities and urban life53. Besides benefiting both the cities and the youth, the trend of migration can also _.A. give the youth a better chance to develop themselvesB. ensure the urban youth who dont have a registered permanent residenceC. promote the mutual understanding and intercommunication of distinct regionsD. reduce cultural clashes or conflicts in lifestyles54. The underlined words “the NEET group” in the last paragraph most probably mean _.A. people aged 16-29B. young people not in the ranges of education, employment or trainingC. people seeking help to find jobs or study abroadD. people who “feed off the parents”55. Which of the following best describes the authors attitude towards “the NEET group”?A. Agreeable.B. Critical.C. Objective.D. Humorous.四、写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10 分)As we all know, we can learn about product when we
