21、Researchers said they had found out that there was once an ancient fresh water lake on Mars that might have been able to support life.

A team of researchers from the US Curiosity Rover Mission, analyzed (分析) some mudstone and fine-grained sediment (细粒沉积物) which can tell us that there was at least one lake around 3.6 billion years ago.

The team said their analysis showed that the lake was calm and likely had fresh water, including key biological elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur (硫磺). Theoretically, such a lake would provide perfect conditions for simple living things.

The findings were published in the US Journal Science and presented at the American Geophysical Union’s fall meeting in San Francisco. “It is important to note that we have not found signs of ancient life on Mars. What we have found is that there once existed a lake on its surface which might make it possible for some simple living things to live billions of years ago,” Professor Sanjeev Gupta said in a statement. Gupta described the new research as “a huge positive step” for the exploration of Mars.

In previous studies, scientists found evidence of water on Mars’ surface in other rocks. However, the new research provides the strongest evidence yet that Mars could have been habitable enough for life to continue.

【1】Researchers have found evidence that an ancient fresh water lake probably existed on ________.

A．the Earth

B．Venus

D．the Moon

【2】The following biological elements EXCEPT ________ have been found on Mars according to the analysis.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

D．The findings about the fresh water lake haven’t been published in the US Journal Science.

【5】On which column of a book can you find this passage?

22、   One day, the old smart Socrates walked down the streets. A man ran up to him, “Socrates, I have to tell you something about your friend…”

“Hold up!” Socrates said. “About the story, did you put it through the three sieves（筛子）?”

23、   "I'm a big fan of the NBA." "The PM2.5 level is high today." "What's the Wi-Fi password for this restaurant?"

Do you often say or hear such sentences? Just to be clear: NBA is short for National Basketball Association. PM stands for particulate matter, and some say Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity.

Many of you will already know the meaning of these abbreviations(缩写词). Young people often mix them with Chinese language in their conversations. "I knew what the NBA was long before I heard its Chinese name," said Zhang Hangyu, 14, from Hunan. "The English word is easy to remember."

There has been some criticism(批评) of these words. Some people think they harm the purity (纯洁) of the Chinese language. "Some people worship(崇拜) the West crazily and use foreign words to show off," language expert Xia Jixuan told People's Daily.

Should we close the door to foreign words? "We can bring in foreign words and localize(将……本土化) them. That gives the Chinese language new life," said Yao Xishuang, a language official from the Ministry of Education.

Now, experts are working on official translations of popular foreign words. For example, PM2.5. is“细颗粒物”in Chinese.

【1】Abbreviations like "NBA" come from ________.

B.the effects of using English abbreviations

C.what we can do to stop the mixed use of languages

D.why Chinese people like using English while speaking

【4】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.We should spread Chinese throughout the world.

B.Learning English is necessary for most people.

C.We don't need to use any foreign words.

D.China is trying to localize foreign words.

25、Just how well do you read? You may find this question difficult to answer. If a friend asks how tall you are, you may hand him a r【1】 and tell him to measure you. But you can’t measure your reading ability with a ruler.

Here is one way to j【2】 your reading ability. Take from your desk the book you are using this year — the textbooks needed for English, math and science. Read a few paragraphs from each textbook. Then ask y【3】 these questions. Do I read these books easily? Is it difficult for me to get the information from these books? Am I struggling (挣扎) through each book — looking at each word again and again, but still not able to understand w【4】 the words mean? Most people like you need to make their reading b【5】. The fifth grade pupil knows that the textbooks for the sixth grade will be more difficult than those he is using now. The middle school student knows that he must prepare to read books written for high school boys and girls.

The high school student knows that he must prepare to read c【6】 texts. And so it goes. Most people say, “I want to help myself.”

There is always one good rule that you should follow. You should keep your mind on all you are doing. A car may run through a stop light because the c【7】 driver is thinking of something other than his driving. The same is true with reading. If you think of nothing else while you are reading, you will become a better reader.
