US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.
The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.
"This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars," said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.
"The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago."
Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲).
"Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us," said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.
Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.
The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.
Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.
1.The size of the lake found on Mars is ______.
A. 80 square miles
B. 1,500 square miles
C. 3.4 billion square miles
D. 300 million square miles
2.When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ____.
A. hot and wet B. wet and warm
C. cold and dry D. cold and wet
3.Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?
A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.
B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.
C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.
D. Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.
B. The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.
C. The discovery can’t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.
D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.

Recently, a painting of actress Elizabeth Taylor, which was drawn by American artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol, sold for US $63 million. Another simple black-and-white image of a Coca-Cola bottle sold for US $35 million. But the all-time record for a Warhol painting is $100 million for a piece titled “Eight Elvises”. What’s amazing is not that the pieces sold for so much, but the fact that they are not what you would call traditional art. They are “pop art”, art based on simple images of things and people from advertising, movies, music and day-to-day life.
Born in the 1920s, Warhol grew up mostly separated from other children due to (由于) health problems. He spent a lot of his time alone drawing and then went on to study art in college. He began his career as a commercial (商业的) artist, creating pictures for magazine articles and newspaper ads. That inspired him to experiment with pop art and he hosted America’s first pop art exhibition in the 1960s. The show met with a lot of discussion with some people saying that what he was doing was not art.
Warhol followed his first works with a series we are all familiar with — paintings of Coca-Cola bottles, Brillo soap pad boxes, and portraits (肖像) of famous people. Soon after, Warhol stopped creating his own artwork. Instead, he had assistants and other artists create them at his studio called “The Factory”. Warhol wanted to show the world that art doesn’t have to be complex or original; it can be created by anyone using ordinary things.
Today, Warhol’s work is unmistakable in its uniqueness. No matter how you may feel about his work, one thing cannot be argued. He introduced the world to a whole new art form, inspiring future generations of artists, and eventually becoming one of the most famous and successful pop art artists in the world.
1.During his childhood, Warhol _____.
A. drew pictures for magazines
B. always lived a lonely life
C. showed no interest in art
D. liked to paint and dance
2.Calling his studio “The Factory”, Warhol tried to show _____.
A. his studio was as big as a factory
B. pop art is different from traditional art
C. artists prefer to work in a factory
D. art should be simple and easy to produce
3.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Andy Warhol’s world of pop art
B. Women in the pop art movement
C. A fun pop-art self-portrait for kids
D. Popular paintings by Andy Warhol

There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of delydration（脱水）. His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe（探测器）, marking the start of its trip to the sun.
The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona（日冕）, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive?
According to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025. NBC added.
1.What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraph?
A. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe.
B. To lead to the topic of researching the sun.
C. To show the achievement of ancient China.
D. To show the difficulties of studying the sun.
2.How many challenges will the probe meet to reach the sun?
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
3.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. The probe will reach the sun in 2025.
B. The probe has been protected very well.
C. The probe is the fastest man-made object.
D. The probe has been prepared well for its aim.
4.What may be the best title of the passage?
A. Taking a Closer Look at the Sun
B. Discovering the Unknown Puzzles
C. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the Sun
D. The Scientific Value of Searching the Sun

It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.
During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.
“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”
One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou, the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素), won the Nobel Prize in 2015, TCM became even more famous internationally.
However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.
Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.
“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.
1.The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph to .
A.introduce the film to readers
B.show TCM is increasingly popular
C.arouse readers’ interest in Western medicine
D.prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries
2.We can learn from the passage that .
A.TCM is not exact in curing diseases
B.10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals
C.86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM
D.Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM
3.According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should .
A.combine western medicine B.face no challenge at all
C.give an exact description of its effects D.compete with western medicine
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.A report on TCM B.Opinions about TCM
C.TCM spreads D.TCM & Western Medicine
