Astronauts who are 31 to go there in the next decade may find plenty 32 water to slake（消除）their thirst. And with water present the 33 of finding some sort of life of Mars are 34 brighter.This is the view of forty geologists 35 have been analyzing 36 of pictures and other scientific 37 obtained（获得）by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies.To begin with, scientists thought the Red planet was as 38 as the Moon 39 dust storms swirling over vast sandy 40 . But now the picture isvery different 41 mountains and valleys carved by 42 glaciers and rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground.In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr Michael Car of the U.S. Geological Survey comments:“I am convinced 43 lots of water on Mars.” Any surface water will be in the 44 of ice. But it could save explorers from 45 to take so much 46 with them.The report says 47 Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages 48 due to its axis（轴）having been more tilted（倾斜）towards the sun.49 signs of plant or animal life have been detected by instruments landed on Mars, 50 the landing vehicles have been sent there for a few years.31.

He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived. What’s more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the UnitedStates. In 1939, Einstein, who loved peace—afraid of a world in which only Hitler would had an atomic bomb（原子弹）—tried hard to persuade President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world.Although he wasn’t connected with any accepted religion（宗教）, Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order. He once said, “God may know everything, but he is not hateful.”51. From the passage we know that .A. no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this centuryB. Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his timeC. Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States of AmericaD. Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for political reasons52. If Einstein had known that Hitler had no atomic bomb and that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan, he would .A. have continued his scientific researchB. have won another Nobel Prize for physicsC. not have advised starting uranium research in the U. S. A.D. not have moved to the U. S. A.53. Einstein in 1933.A. visited England and the U. S. A.B. lost everythingC. became a man without a countryD. both A and C54. Einstein believed that everything in the universe .A. was kept in order by its own lawB. had nothing to do with each otherC. happened in an irregular wayD. was made by the personal GodB“That’s funny! These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.”Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London. He had been studying some germs（细菌）that he was growing on a plate. They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people. Dr Fleming found that a mould（霉菌）had floated in through the window landing on the plate. It had killed some of the germs it had touched.“This certainly looks promising.” Fleming said. “We must grow some ofthis mould to see if it will kill other germs.”He named the strange mould “penicillin”. It proved to be a killer of many germs. Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected（注射）with penicillin. The twenty-five untreated mice died, but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin. Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out. Hardly anybody took any notice of it.In 1938 Dr Howard Florey, an Australian working in London, read Dr Fleming’s report and was very interested. He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.When World War II broke out, it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England. Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made. It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.55. Dr Alexander Fleming .A. had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill peopleB. had been studying some of the germs on a plate which could cure illnessesC. had been making experiments on some germs that he was growing on a plateD. had been making experiments on different germs that could help sick people to get better56. Some of the germs on the plate .A. had been killed by a mould floating in through the windowB. had been killing one another, which was a surprise to FlemingC. had been killed by a mould that had been grown by Dr Alexander FlemingD. had been killed by a mould found by another doctor57. The reason why the twenty-five mice died was that .A. they had been given deadly germs and had been injected with penicillinB. they were almost dead ahead of the experimentC. they were easy to die in the experimentD. they had been given deadly germs and had not been injected with penicillin58. In 1938, an Australian working in London named Howard Florey read Dr F leming’s report and .A. left England for America, making the drugB. went to America to save the lives of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmenC. found penicillin effective in treating blood poisoning in human beingsD. went to America to make this drug for mice59. The word “enormous” means .A. 剩余的B. 恰当的C. 少许的D. 巨大的CEinstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.He had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts on—for fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.60. The conductor thought Einstein .A. wasn’t good at mathsB. had good memoryC. was either mad or strangeD. liked to make trouble61. Einstein meant that many people .A. knew his Theory of Relativity well because they could explain itB. had written to have grasped his theory correctlyC. pretended to have grasped his abstract theoryD. admired him very much62.

In 1854 Pasteur was made head of the department of science at the University of Lille, and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries. Lille was a major center for wine and beer-making, and some of the local wine-makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh. At that time, it was believed that food and drinks go “bad”due to a purely chemical process (变化过程). But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved that tiny living organisms (微生物) caused food and drinks to go bad. In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts (酵母) that caused the fermentation (发酵) process. Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after ithad fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer. He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air, and that they too would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers.The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous. It was named “pasteurization” in his honour, and by about 1900 it had been widely used for processing and bottling cows’ milk. The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle-fed babies dying from infant diarrhea (婴儿腹泻) and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products. This simple process has saved thousands, possibly millions, of lives worldwide.63. Pasteur became in 1854.A. the chairperson of the science department at the University of LilleB. the director of a chemical laboratory at the University of LilleC. the general manager of a large beer-making companyD. the president of the University of Lille64. According to the passage, Lille was a major center for in the mid-19th century.A. growing grain cropsB. making beer and wineC. doing chemical researchD. producing various kinds of yeasts65. In the last sentence of paragraph 1, the underlined word “they” ref ers to .A. wine and beerB. food and drinksC. the various yeastsD. other organisms66. We can infer from the passage that Pasteur’s discovery .A. is no longer widely used for treating milk and other food produtsB. did not bring much profit to the wine makers in LilleC. has done a lot of good to children in the worldD. has greatly reduced the number of wars in the worldEOn the first day of class, Mr Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else’s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer.Very simple, Mr Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of usnoticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?We should have guessed it out, Mr Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disapp eared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.67.
