It would be very exciting to be a reporter on a newspaper．As soon as a reporter’s boss gives him a story to write，the reporter is on the job．He keeps his mind on what he is going to do．He does not begin writing the story until he knows what he should find out．He must know why he should write the story．
At times a reporter must search hard to find all of the facts he needs for a story．The facts may not be right under his nose．To find the facts，he has to recognize important details．While gathering information for a story，he asks himself questions：Should I use this information? Is this an important fact?
A reporter writes the story as fast as he can，so it can go right away into the newspaper．The story also needs a headline，which tells very quickly what the news story is about and is printed bigger and blacker than the rest of the news story．

E
Could we "terraform" Mars —that is, change its frozen, thin-aired surface into something more friendly and Earthlike? Should we? The first question has a clear answer: Yes, we probably could．Spacecraft, including the ones now exploring Mars, have found evidence that it was warm in its youth, with rivers flowing into vast seas．And right here on Earth, we've learned how to warm a planet: just add greenhouse gases to its atmosphere．Much of the CO2 that once warmed Mars is probably still there, in frozen dirt and polar ice caps, and so is the water．
Most of the work in terraforming, says NASA scientist Chris Mackay, would be done by life itself． "You don't build Mars," Mackay says．"You just warm it up and throw some seeds．" Powerful greenhouse gases could be produced from elements in dirt and air on Mars and blown into the atmosphere; by warming the planet, they would release the frozen CO2, which would quicken the warming and increase atmospheric pressure to the point where liquid water could flow．Meanwhile, says botanist James Graham of the University of Wisconsin, human settlers could seed the red rock with a succession （系列） of ecosystems ?first bacteria and lichens （地衣）, which survive in Antarctica, later mosses （苔蘚）, and after one thousand years or so, redwoods．Getting breathable oxygen levels out of those forests, though, could take thousands of years．
However, Mars is in no immediate danger．Some space scientists recently recommended going to the moon or an asteroid （小行星） first, and pointed out the space agency lacks the funds to go anywhere．It didn't estimate the cost of gardening a dead planet．
72．What is the most essential to make Mars fit for living?
A．Turn ice into flowing water．          B．Clean the dirty atmosphere．
C．Make the atmosphere more suitable．    D．Go to the moon or an asteroid first．
73．What does the author think of the idea ofterraforming Mars?
A．We could do it．                            B．We couldn't do it．
C．We should do it．                           D．We shouldn't do it．
74．In the botanist's opinion, man needs to __________.
A．enable Mars to clean its atmosphere
B．build a greenhouse on Mars
C．send some people to settle on Mars
D．cultivate ecosystems from lower to higher life form
75．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Making Mars the New Earth．           B．A Good Way to Change the Universe
C．Humans' Great Power．                     D．Terrible Science and Technology．

Global emissions（排放）of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by the Global Carbon Project.
Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades.
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. In the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over 4 percent in 2010, the new analysis shows.
“Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of indecision,” said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research. “There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change.”
Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare at long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs.
The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed (超過) the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the production of cement (水泥) sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries.
On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries have simply exported some of them.
The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that has changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr. Peters said.
Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they have had little effect so far.
【小題1】Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because          .

A．it is not the best way to solve such problems
B．they don’t realize the risks of carbon emissions
C．it would probably harm human welfare in the long run
D．they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs
【小題2】According to Glen P. Peters, We can learn that          .
A．the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humans
B．rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissions
C．human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 years
D．some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Emissions in the United States dropped by about 7 percent in 2010.
B．Developing countries will produce less emissions with economic development.
C．There is a long way to go for many countries to limit the fast growth of emissions.
D．Over 50 percent of the growth in emissions resulted from the burning of fossil fuels.
【小題4】The text mainly talks about          .
A．a(chǎn)n analysis released by the Global Carbon Project
B．the record jump in carbon dioxide emissions
C．the possible climate change in future decades
D．the main harm of greenhouse gases
