21、NASA on September 28, 2015 announced the strongest evidence yet for liquid water on the red planet, increasing the possibility that astronauts journeying to Mars could someday rely on the planet's own water for their drinking needs.

  You may feel like you've heard about the hunt for liquid water on Mars before—and the researchers involved know it may seem played out. But science has yet to truly prove that water flows on Mars once and for all, and doing so could completely change the way we view the planet. This new data is a big step in the right direction.

"Liquid water is an attractive topic, and we like the thousandth time someone has discovered water on Mars," Lujendra Ojha, the Georgia Tech PhD candidate who led the research announced Monday, told The Post. But there's a good reason that liquid water is so "attractive": Mars is now the only planet in our solar system to show evidence of the stuff on its surface, other than our own. Other worlds have it in subsurface oceans, or scattered around as vapor in the atmosphere. But Mars is the only place where we have solid evidence for liquid that sits right there in the open air. While it would be a major leap to suggest that Mars might harbor life—even microbial life—liquid water at least makes it possible that parts of the planet are habitable.

The study builds on research from April, when scientists using data from the Curiosity rover noted that the planet had the seasonal potential for liquid water. We know that because of the extremely low pressure on Mars, water has a boiling point of just a few degrees Celsius, after which it evaporates. The April study noted the presence of perchlorates (高氯酸盐) —a kind of salt—which could make the boiling point of Mars' water much higher, theoretically allowing it to remain liquid. They affirmed that the planet's temperature would be right for liquid, perchlorate-filled water to form every day during winter and spring.

【1】What does the Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A. The significance of the discovery.

B. The doubt of the discovery. 

C. The difficulty of the discovery.

D. The expense of the discovery.

【2】The underlined words "our own" in Paragraph 3 refer to ________.

A. Mars

B. the earth

C. liquid water

D. the solar system

【3】 What plays an important role in making Mars' water in the state of liquid?

A. The thick atmosphere around Mars.

B. The physical structure of Mars.

C. The extremely low pressure on Mars.

D. Perchlorates in Mar's water.

【4】 The best title for the passage can be "________".

A. Water on Mars could be used for dringking

B. There might be some kinds of life on Mars

C. NASA would send astronauts to journey to Mars

D. NASA confirms the best-ever evidence for water on Mars

22、Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: He knew everything. This was our relationship, in sum: I asked him questions and he told me the answers. When I moved out on my own, I called him at least once a week, usually when something broke in my apartment and I needed to know how to fix it: the toilet, the air-conditioning…

But then, eventually, I needed him less. I got married, and my husband had most of the knowledge I lacked about water heaters and nondestructive insect removal. For everything else, we had the Internet. I don’t know when it happened, but our conversations when I called declined to six words. Me: “Hi, Dad.” Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know.

Then, this past summer, my husband, our four kids, and I moved in with my parents for three weeks while our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead at their dock (码头的舱壁). It was hard labor. But as we put the new bulkhead together piece by piece, my dad knowing exactly what went where, I looked at him. “How do you know how to build a bulkhead?”

The heavy mallet (木槌) he was swinging paused in midair. “I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey Shore.” “You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad—all his random jobs. I knew about the apple farm, the summer at the hot sauce manufacturing plant, and even the diner line-cook position, where he learned how to make the best omelet in the world. But I never knew this.

“Yep. Now let me teach you how to use this saw.”

As he explained the importance of not bending too low, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions.

A few weeks later, after my family and I moved back into our renovated house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Here’s Mom.” “Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you?” We ended up talking about the consulting job he was working on, a new battery he’d bought for his sailboat, a refinance my husband and I were looking into to relieve our home loan. Nothing life-changing. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter.

But to me, it was novel. A new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.

【1】Why did the author’s conversations with her dad become shorter over time?

A．She got married and didn’t have time to talk.

B．Her dad became less talkative as he got older.

C．She realized that her dad didn’t know everything.

D．She felt that she needed less help from her father.

【2】What did the author find while living with her parents this past summer?

A．Her father was quite talkative.

B．Her father was keen on making things by himself.

C．She didn’t know as much about her father as she had thought.

D．She didn’t notice her father was aged and needed her assistance.

【3】Why did the author call her dad after she moved back into her renovated house?

A．To learn more about her father’s past experiences.

B．To catch up and try to have a normal conversation.

C．To ask for help with more household repairing tips.

D．To thank him for letting her and her family stay with him.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．DIY with my dad: Learning to be independent

B．From fixing toilets to building bulkheads: Changing my lifestyle

C．Reconnecting with my father: A lesson in asking the right questions

D．Lessons in self-sufficiency: How Google replaced my dad’s knowledge

23、   When Barbra Streisand said that she'd had her dog cloned for $50,000, many people learned for the first time that copying pets and other animals was a real business.

The story that gave people cause for concern, though, came out a few days later. It was about Monni Must, a Michigan photographer who paid to have Billy Bean cloned, a Labrador that had belonged to her oldest daughter, Miya. Miya died 10 years earlier. To Must, cloning the elderly dog was a way to keep her daughter's memory alive.

Alarm bells went off in my head. Must wasn't just cloning a pet. She was trying to preserve a lost child. It seemed awfully close to a real human cloning scenario, one in which a heartbroken parent tries to replace a son or daughter who dies early.

I shot a question at Jose Cibelli, an animal cloning scientist at Michigan State University: is it time to worry about human cloning again? Cibelli quickly emailed back: “Yes.”

I met Cibelli 15 years ago, when I was among a group of journalists covering cloning nonstop. Back then, it seemed possible that someone might try to copy a human being at any moment. There was an Italian doctor named Antinori who said he was trying.

But human cloning never happened. The reason is clear. In many animals, only one in 100 cloned embryos ever leads to a live birth. Of those that are born, a few suffer from abnormalities (畸形) and quickly die. Creating a human clone isn't only a question of technology. You'd also need a reason to do it, experts willing to help, and someone to fund it all.

I finally asked Must if she would have cloned Miya if she'd had the chance? She said it's not a question she has an answer to. “When you have a child who dies, you are not in a place to make a rational (理智的) decision,” she says.

【1】How did the author feel after knowing Must's story?

A.Worried. B.Relieved.

C.Sympathetic. D.Admiring.

【2】What do we know about human cloning 15 years ago?

A.It was supported by Jose Cibelli. B.It was seldom covered by reporters.

C.It received the public's attention. D.It was first tried by an Italian doctor.

【3】What does Paragraph 6 mainly focus on?

A.How animals are cloned.

B.Why human cloning is challenging.

C.How the technology of cloning is developed.

D.Why cloned embryos are difficult to preserve.

【4】What is Must's attitude toward cloning her dead daughter?

A.She is uninterested. B.She is looking forward to it.

C.She thinks it is irrational. D.She has no idea.

24、How to get a good letter of recommendation

Your professors are often asked to write hundreds of letters of recommendation during teaching in colleges. 【1】, they do play a key role in helping employers get an idea of an applicant’s personality, persistence, and passion. Here are four points to keep in mind when it comes to asking for letters of recommendation.

【2】. Ideally, the letter writer will know you well and have plenty of positive things to say without much make-up. But it never hurts to share your personal statement that includes your accomplishments and passions. After all, it’s you that know how to let your highlights stand out.

Don’t tell your professor what to say. This one is a little tricky, because it seems to contradict the tip above. 【3】, but avoid telling him exactly what to write. Professors know how to pen an effective letter of recommendation well.

Don’t ask for a letter at the last minute. Rule of thumb: Give the professor at least a few months’ notice. Remember, your professor will spend quite a while composing the letter of recommendation, so express your request in a respectful, appreciative and thoughtful way. A last minute request will annoy the professor, and it may also lead to a sub- standard letter. 【4】.

Express your gratitude. A thoughtful letter of recommendation takes time. 【5】. Most professors write dozens of recommendations, if not more. Be sure to let them know that you appreciate their time and effort. Don’t risk ending up with a regret by forgetting to send a handwritten note with a sincere thank you.

A．Nobody wins in such a hurry

B．Expose a real yourself accordingly

C．Maintain a good relationship with them

D．And chances are you aren’t the only one asking

E．Give the professor a broad outline about your request

F．While these letters may not be as important as test scores

G．Because the employers care much about the recommendation
