For centuries, humans have wondered whether there is life on Mars. Why is Mars losing its air? Last week, the question was answered.

“The answer, is blowing in the wind,” said Michael Meyer. He is the lead scientist for Mars Exploration Program.

It turns out solar winds from the sun are slowly stripping( 除掉) away Mars' air. That is what scientists explained at a press conference.

Bruce Jakosky is the principal investigator on the MAVEN team. It is a spacecraft that collects information from Mars as it circles around the planet.

Today, Mars has a thin atmosphere. It is cold and dry. ______

"When we look at ancient Mars, we see a different type of surface. One that had valleys that looked like they were carved by water, lakes that were standing for a long period of time. We see an environment that was much more able to support liquid water."

Recently scientists found a kind of liquid water that flows with salt down a mountain area of the planet. But, it is not always there. Scientists already knew that ice exists on Mars. So why is it important to find liquid water?

"It means that we have a resource. And when we're looking at sending humans to Mars, water is one of the key things that we need to have. Not only for the astronauts to drink, but also to make oxygen and fuel."

Sending humans to Mars will be in the 2030s. Those chosen might fly any number of space vehicles still in development.

Human beings are developing rockets and spacecraft to get people to Mars. Scientists want to know how the human body reacts to being in space for long period of time.

Whether there is life on Mars remains unanswered. But some scientists think there might be some kind of microbial life on the planet. Finding life on another planet would change the way we view the whole universe.

1.What was the surface of ancient Mars like?

A. It had thin air. B. It was dry.

C. It had valleys that looked like they were carved by water. D. It had no water.

2.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

C. People can not send humans to Mars forever.

When was the last time you used a phone booth on the street? With the rise of mobile phones, they have become something out of date. But Shanghai is trying to bring new life to the old phone booths by turning them into mini-libraries.

Shanghai plans to divide 263 phone booths in Xuhui District into six new types. One type will each offer 60 books for people to read or borrow. A second type will allow users to listen to audiobooks and even record their own voices. A third type will become “Celebrity Exhibition Halls (名人亭)”, showing old photos and works of famous artists like Ba Jin and Zhang Leping.

Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. The British care about them even more, since the red phone booths have long been a part of the country’s identity*. The world’s first phone booth was built in the 1880s in Germany. But in the 1930s the UK painted them red and made them a special attraction in cities.

In recent years the country has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens and free WiFi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports. The company also allows people to rent some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than 1,500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini-cafés, art museums and even shower rooms, according to the Sina News. Besides, the town has made it into a museum to show visitors the local history. Today the phone booths is filled with photographs, ancient jewelry, and paintings, which anyone can stop in to admire. Every three months, they will change for a new theme.

Maybe in the future phone booths will become city attractions once again, but in a more creative way.

1.How many books will each library booth in Shanghai offer?

A. 263. B. 60. C. 360. D. 1,500.

2.Among the six new types of phone booths in Shanghai, people can NOT_______.

A. read and borrow books B. listen to audiobooks

C. record their own voices D. play video games

3.What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A. British Telecom has new ways to reuse telephone booths.

B. The British can buy flowers from a telephone booth.

C. If you want to take a shower in the UK, just enter a booth.

D. The red phone booths in the UK have been useless for years.

4.What can we infer from the story?

A. No one wants to use the telephone booths now.

B. Britain’s red phone booths are losing their social identity.

C. Phone booths will attract people’s attention again.

D. Phone booths around the world are becoming popular.

When he was a little boy, his uncle called him “Sparky” after a comic-strip (連環(huán)畫) horse named Spark Plug. School was all but impossible for Sparky.

He failed every subject in the eighth grade. And though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he lost the only important match of the season straight away.

Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him. It was just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was surprised if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. Him, his classmates… everyone knew it. So he learned to live with it. He made up his mind that if things were meant to work out, they would.

One thing was important to Sparky, however-drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else enjoyed it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors refused to consider his ideas. Despite (即使；盡管) that, Sparky was sure about his ability. He even decided to become an artist.

So, after finishing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples (樣本) of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was refused. One more confirmation that he was a loser.

But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. The main character would be a little boy who symbolized the boy who always lost. You know him well. Because Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a kind of cultural phenomenon (現(xiàn)象). People readily identified with this “l(fā)ovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity.

The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was refused again and again, is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip Peanuts continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers.

1.The underlined part “he learned to live with it” in Paragraph 3 probably means that Sparky _______.

A. decided not to make an effort in school

B. learned to say no to being treated badly

C. didn’t care because no one called him a loser

D. came to accept not being cared about by other students

2.Before he started the Charlie Brown cartoon, _________.

A. Sparky doubted whether being an artist was in his future.

B. some yearbook editors encouraged Sparky to keep on drawing

C. no one valued Sparky’s artwork and it was refused again and again

D. samples of Sparky’s artwork were accepted by Walt Disney Studios

3.Why did Sparky’s cartoon character become so popular?

A. Because Sparky’s experience was so sad.

B. Because people felt they could have to do with it.

C. Because it was a kind of cultural phenomenon.

D. Because it inspired people to fight for their own lives.

4.What can we conclude (推斷) from the article?

A. Sparky never lost confidence in his ability.

B. Artists often have little chance of becoming successful.

C. The writer believes that others’ opinions don’t matter.

D. The writer believes that no loser will become successful in the end.
