26、, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. Passage One After flexing its mechanical arm and finding some puzzling chemistry in a patch of Martian soil, the robotic rover Spirit began investiga

27、ting the composition of a rock named Adirondack yesterday with two science instruments and a microscopic camera.Following programmed instructions from flight controllers, the six-wheel rover made several short turns and moved forward about six feet. It stopped within inches of the pyramid-shaped roc

28、k, about the size of a football. It was the vehicles second maneuver on the Martian surface since landing there on Jan. 3.Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. , said they did not expect results of the first rock examination until early today. But they were already both ple

29、ased and puzzled over the soil test results.“Were starting to put together a picture of what the soil at Gusev is really like,” Dr. Steven W. Squyres of Cornell, the principal scientist of the mission, said at a news conference in Pasadena. He was referring to the Spirits landing site in Gusev crate

30、r, near the Martian equator. Two of the Spirits main science instruments, the Mossbauer spectrometer and the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, made a close examination of soil near the landing base.German scientists in charge of the studies reported that X-rays emitted by the surface soil indicated

31、 a chemical composition mainly of silicon and iron, with smaller amounts of sulfur, chlorine and argon. Argon is a noble gas that is part of the Martian atmosphere. Previous Martian sites visited by landing craft also contained significant amounts of sulfur and chlorine.Other members of the projects

32、 science team said the Mossbauer spectrometer found considerable amounts of the mineral olivine in the soil. Olivine, which contains oxygen, iron and magnesium, is often found in volcanic rocks. The Martian soil may resemble the volcanic soil of Hawaii.“One possibility is that this soil is simply gr

33、ound-up lava,” Dr. Squyres said. “That would surprise me, but its entirely possible that beneath those grains there is solid rock and we are detecting some of that solid rock, not the soil.”Another property of the soil perplexed geologists. The fine grains of the Gusev surface seem to stick together

34、 in dry clumps. Geologists suspected static electricity as the clinging force. If so, they said, the soil should collapse and flatten out when the Mossbauer spectrometer pressed against the ground. Nothing collapsed, leading Dr. Squyres to ask what force was responsible for holding them together.31.

35、 How many pieces of equipment is the robotic rover Spirit armed with and what are their names?A. Two. They are the mechanical arm and the microscopic camera.B. Three. They are the two science instruments and a microscopic camera.C. Four. They are the two science instruments, a microscopic camera and

36、 the flight controller.D. Five. They are the two science instruments, the two flight controllers and a microscopic camera and the flight controller.32. “But they were already both pleased and puzzled over the soil test results” in Para. 3 can best be used to mean _.A. they felt both happy and satisf

37、actory over the test resultsB. they didnt expect to find the wonderful resultsC. they wanted very much to do more research over the rocksD. they were glad to see the results but they cant explain them33. From the context, it can be concluded that olivine must be_. A. a kind of volcanic soil containi

38、ng lava and mineral rock B. a kind of volcanic rock with its main content of lava and magnesium C. a kind of rock mainly consisting of oxygen, iron and magnesium D. a kind of oxygen with iron and magnesium34. German scientists in charge of the studies_.A. thought that the surface soil of Mars is mai

39、nly composed of silicon and iron, with a bit of sulfur, chlorine and argon B. doubted if there is any content of silicon and iron, with a bit more of sulfur, chlorine and argonC. confirmed that the Martian surface emitted X-rays, which indicated the main composition of the Martian soilD. indicated t

40、hat the surface soil of Mars has a main chemical composition of silicon and iron35.

41、 on the existence of the static force on the MarsD. introducing the main points of view on the static force on the Mars36. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A Brief Introduction to the Research Work of the Science TeamB. The Difference of the Geologists on the Compositio

42、n of a Rock on Mars C. What Force Stick Together the fine grains of the Gusev SurfaceD. The Spirit Began to Study the Composition of a Rock on Mars Passage TwoFor over 30 years, Donald Kroodsma has worked to disclose such mysteries of bird communication. Through field studies and laboratory experime

43、nts, hes studied the ecological and social forces that may have contributed to the evolution of vocal learning.Kroodsma has paid particular attention to local variation in song types, known as dialects. The Black-capped Chickadees (Parus atricapillus) on Marthas Vineyard, for example, have an entire

44、ly different song than their counterparts on the Massachusetts mainland, he says. Birds that live on the boundary between two dialects or that spend time in different areas can become “bilingual,” learning the songs of more than one group of neighbors. Recently, Kroodsma discovered that the Three-wa

45、ttled Bellbird (Procnias tricarunculata) is constantly changing its song, creating what he calls a “rapid cultural evolution within each generation. “ This kind of song evolution is found in whales but, up until now, rarely in birds.A professor of biology at the University of Massachusetts at Amhers

46、t, Kroodsma is also co-editor of the book Ecology and Evolution of Acoustic Communication in Birds (Cornell University Press, 1996). Though he plans to continue his field studies, he says that one of his most important goals now is to help people understand how to listen to birdsong. “Many people ca

47、n identify a Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina)when they hear it. Its one of the most beautiful songs in the world,” he says. “Little do they realize they could hear the things that Wood Thrush is communicating if they just knew how to listen. “ Next is an interview made between an amateur of bird s

48、ongs (SA)and Donald Kroodsma. SA: Can you make any comparison between how a baby bird learns to sing and how a young human learns to speak? DK: On the surface, its remarkably similar. I often play a tape of my daughter, recorded when she was about a year and a half old. She is taking all the sounds

49、she knows, “bow-wow, kitty, no, down “and randomly piecing them together in a nonsensical babbling sequence.Then I play a tape of a young bird and dissect what its doing in what we call its “subsong,” and its exactly the same thing. Its taking all the sounds it has memorized, all the sounds it has b

50、een exposed to, and singing them in a random sequence. It looks like what the baby human and the baby bird are doing is identical. Some might say thats a crass comparison, but its very intriguing. SA: Why do the song repertoires(全部技能)and dialects of some birds vary from place to place? DK: For the s

51、pecies of birds that do not learn their songs, I like to think of it simplistically as the song being encoded right in their DNA. With these birds, if we find differences in their songs from place to place, it means that the DNA has changed too, that the populations are genetically different. But th

52、ere are species in which the songs are not encoded in the DNA. Then we have some thing very similar to humans, in which speech is learned and varies from place to place. If you were raised in Germany, for example, youd be speaking German rather than English with no change in your genes. So with the

53、birds that learn their songs, you get these striking differences from place to place because the birds have learned the local dialect.SA: How is this affected by whether a bird is nomadic? DK: If you know the rest of your life youre going to be speaking English, you work hard at learning English. Bu

54、t what if you know that youll be repeatedly thrown in with people speaking different languages from all over the world? You start to see the enormous challenge it would be to learn the language or dialect of all these different locations. So I think for nomadic birds like Sedge WrensCistothorus plat

55、ensis, because they are thrown together with different birds every few months from all over the geographic range; they dont bother to imitate the songs of their immediate neighbors. They make up some kind of generalized song, or rather the instructions in their DNA allow them to improvise this very

56、Sedge Wren-ysong. Why should they imitate each other and all have the same songs? I wish I knew the answer to that.37. Birds that live on the boundary between two dialects or that spend time in different areas, according to Donald Kroodsma, can become “bilingual,” _.I. if they are living on the boundary between two dialectsII. when they move or stay in different areasIII. on the condition that they are thrown together and forced to learn the songs of their neighbors songsA. I and IIB. II and III C. I and III D. Ill only38. Accor
