20、hats going on in the martian soil,” said steve squyres, principal investigator from connell university, describing the soil analysis that the rover conducted on monday. the six-wheeled robot turned its attention tuesday to the large, sharply angled rock scientists have dubbed “adirondack.” results o

21、f that testing were expected on wednesday. the spirit rover is being used to examine its surroundings in the gusey crater as scientists search for evidence that the planets surface once had liquid water. “we dont know that this soil came from the gusey crater. the stuff could have come from somewher

22、e else. its going to be very interesting. to dig some holes and see if it looks the same deeper down”, squyres said. one instrument told scientists the soil contained a mixture of materials that included a mineral called olivine. scientists were surprised to find olivine, which is usually associated

23、 with volcanic eruptions, said squyres. mission members now believe the soil could be a layer of finely ground lava, he said. “that would be a surprise to me,” he said. “i think were going to learn wonderful things by using the wheels to scrape and push” the soil away to see whats underneath. anothe

24、r tool detected the elements iron, argon, sulfur, chlorine, nickel and zinc in the soil, said johannes brueckner of germanys max planck institute for chemistry. most of the minerals had been noted during previous mars expeditions, but this is the first time scientists have detected nickel and zincs,

25、 he said. spirit extended its robotic arm tuesday and placed a drilling tool against the surface of the “adirondack” rock to test the drills position, said jennifer trosper, mission manager for nasas jet propulsion laboratory. mission members were still deciding whether to use the tool to drill into

26、 the rock to see if its inner composition matches readings they were collecting from its exterior using other instruments. scientists believe the rock is made of a volcanic rock called basalt. “you can think of it as a time capsule that contains a history of its formation,” said dave des marais of n

27、asas ames research center. trosper said the rover was doing remarkably well and was transmitting an “incredible amount of data. its like we got an internet upgrade overnight.” spirits twin, opportunity, is due to land saturday on meridiani planum, which lies halfway around the planet from spirits ja

28、n. 3 landing site in gusev crater.36. when nasa scientists said the examination revealed as many questions as answers, they probably imply _. a the examination revealed many questions as well as many answers b the examination has already provided ready answers to all the many questions c that while

29、tile examination revealed the questions scientists would quickly find answers to them d that corresponding hypotheses were formulated as to all the questions the rovers analysis revealed37. the verb phrase “have dubbed” is best used to mean _ a have doubted b have named c have honored d have doubled

30、38. the main idea of paragraph three can best be _. a the examination has not only found soil from the gusey crater or from somewhere else, but also has determined its content b its very interesting to dig some holes and see what is inside c nasa scientists now feel sure that the soil contained a mi

33、ould have grown by 254 per cent during a period when the economy has been sliding into deeper recession. optimists, or those given to speedy assumptions might think it marvelous to have such a resource of business school graduates ready for the recovery. unfortunately, there is now much doubt about

34、the value of the degreenot least among mba graduates themselves, suffering as they are from the effects of recession and facing the prospect of shrinking management structures. what was taken some years ago as a ticket of certain admission to success is now being exposed to the scrutiny（审查）of cost-c

35、onscious employers who seek “can-dos” rather than “might- dos”, and who feel that academia has not been sufficiently appreciative of the needs of industry or of the employers possible requirements. perhaps companies that made large investments would have been wiser to invest in already existing mana

36、gers, resting anxiously on their own internal ladders. the institute of managements 1992 survey, which revealed that eighty-one percent of managers thought they would be more effective if they received more training, suggests that this might be the case. there is, too, the fact that training alone d

37、oes not make successful managers. they need the inherent qualifications of character, a degree of self-control, and, above all, the ability to communicate and lead. one can easily think of people, some comparatively unlettered, who are now praised captains of industry. we may, therefore not need to

38、be too concerned about the fall in applications for business school places or even the doubt about mbas. the increase and subsequent questioning may have been an inevitable evolution. if the management charter initiative now exploring the introduction of a senior management qualification is successf

39、ul, there will be a powerful corrective. we believe now that management is all about change. one hopes there will be some of that in the relationship between management and science within industry, currently causing concern and which is overdue for attention. no one doubts that we need more scientis

40、ts and innovation to give us an edge in an increasingly competitive world. if scientists feel themselves undervalued and under-used, working in industrial is not a promising signal for the future. it seems we have to resolve these misunderstandings between science and industry. above all, we have to

41、 make sure that management is not itself proud of its status and that it does not issue mission statements about communication without realizing that the essence of it is a dialogue.41. according to the passage, the author believed that _ a there are too many mbas b the degree is over-valued c stand

42、ards are inconsistent d the degree has doubtful value42. according to the passage, employers _ a feel that they have not been consulted sufficiently about their needs . b consider that cost-consciousness is the most important qualification c are more concerned about the value of the degree than grad

43、uates themselves d feel that mbas will be not necessary because of shrinking management structures43. it can be learned from the passage that _. a managers need the ability to communicate to a degree b training needs to be done in groups to be successful c managers today must have good communication

44、 and leadership skills d industrial managers do not need to write letters44. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _ a science increases competition b scientists are undervalued c management of science needs reassessment d management feels proud of its status45. which of the following is t

45、rue according to the passage? a employers today are looking for proven experience rather than potential ability. b companies would have benefited more from investing in their own staff rather than recruiting mbas. c most managers interviewed felt that their colleagues needed more training. d the man

46、agement charter initiative is an attempt to standardize mbaspassage 3 we have less in common with our nearest animal relative than we thought, at least if our dna is anything to go by. new comparisons of human and chimpanzee（黑猩猩）dna show there are more differences than we realized. for years, one ve

47、ry special number has helped shape both our sense of self and our sense of kinship with our closest relative, pan troglodytes. were told that we share 98.5 per cent of our dna with chimps, a figure boasted so widely it has almost become a manta (圣歌). now it seems that number is wrong. we actually sh

48、are less than 95 per cent of our genetic material, so the difference is three times as great as was thought. the new figure came to light when roy britten of the california institute of technology became suspicious about the reliability of the 98.5 per cent figure. it was originally derived from a t

49、echnique that britten himself developed decades ago at caltech with his colleague dave kohne. by measuring the temperature at which corresponding stretches of dna from two species comes apart, you can work out how different they are. but the technique only picks up one type of variation, called a si

50、ngle base substitution (单基因替代). this is when a single “letter” of the genetic code differs in corresponding strands of dna from the two species. but there are two other major types of variation which the previous analyses ignored. insertions add a whole section of dna to one species but not to the c

51、orresponding strand of the other. likewise, deletions mean that a piece of dna has been lost from one species but not from the other. together, theyre termed “indels”. so britten looked for the true variation between the two species by analyzing five stretches of chimp dna just published on the inte

52、rnet. when he compared these to corresponding pieces of human dna, he found that single base substitutions accounted for a difference of 1.4 per cent, very close to the expected figure. but he also found that the dna of both species was littered with indels that add around 4 per cent to the genetic

53、differences between us and chimps. the result is only based on about 1 million dna bases out of the 3 billion which make up the human and chimp genomes, says britten. “its just a glance.” but the differences appear to be evenly distributed across “junk” regions of dna and regions that contain genes.

54、46. the first paragraph of this passage implies but does not clearly state that _. a we should have confidence in conventional beliefs b chimpanzees are not our nearest animal relatives c dna is not such a reliable source for determination in this area d the dna of chimpanzees has very little in common with that of humans47. roy britt
