37、 researchers in Mars-like soil back in March have been analyzed and the results are excellent: at least four of the crops do not contain harmful heavy metal levels and are perfectly safe to eat, the University researchers report.If youve seen The Martian, you can remember how much Matt Damon got don

38、e living off of his poo-powered crop of potatoes. It just goes to show how important it is for a long-term colony to be able to grow their own food locally. Weve taken one step closer to that goal in March, when Netherlands Wageningen University reported that theyve managed to grow ten different cro

39、ps in Mars-like soil.However, growing food doesnt do us much good if eating it kills us, and researchers were worried that these crops contained dangerous heavy metals like lead or cadmium(鎘) from the martian soil. But future colonists are delighted, as lab analysis of the crops determined that at l

40、east four of them are safe to eat.Led by ecologist Wieger Wamelink, the team tested radishes, tomatoes, rye, and peas. They looked at cadmium, lead, aluminium(鋁), nickel(鎳), copper, chrome(鉻), iron, arsenic(砷), manganese(錳), and zinc(鋅) contents in the plants, and didnt find any in dangerous levels.

41、 In fact, some of these vegetables have lower levels of heavy metals than those grown in regular potting soil. The plants were also tested for vitamins, alkaloids(生物堿), and flavonoids(類(lèi)黃酮), with good results. While there are six more crops to test, Wamelink himself said that the results up to now ar

42、e “very promising.”“Growing food locally is especially important to our mission of permanent settlement, as we have to ensure sustainable food production on Mars. The results of Dr. Wamelink and his team at Wageningen University & Research are significant progress towards that goal,” said Mars O

43、ne co-founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp in a press release.A crowdfunding campaign is underway (and will be until the end of August) to fund the test of the remaining crops, potatoes included. If all the crops test out safe, with concentrations of heavy metal the FDA and the Dutch Food Agency consider as

44、 safe, Wamelinks team will host a “Martian dinner” at the Wageningen greenhouse.But Ive seen the movie. Stay clear of the potatoes.53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Four crops grown in martian soil have been tested safe to eat, with no heavy metals in.B. The ability to g

The author writes the passage in order to _.A. prove that it is practical to grow crops on Mars in the futureB. show crops grown in martian soil are safe for people to eatC. point out the importance of growing food locally for long-term settlementD. report the recent rese

47、arch findings of the possibility of growing food on MarsCA biologist from the National Park Service discovered a rare and unusual mammoth(猛犸) skull(顱骨) buried in a 13,000-year-old rock layer on the Santa Rosa Island, the second largest landmass in the Channel Islands, California. The fossil of the e

48、xtinct giant animal is leaving many paleontologists(古生物學(xué)家) scratching their heads. Despite the fact that its possibly the best preserved mammoth skull ever found and of high scientific importance, the species of the individual it belonged to cant seem to be identified yetits too big to be a pygmy(特別

49、矮小的) mammoth and too small to have come from a Columbian mammoth. Some say its a new species while others believe the truth lies somewhere in between.The first mammoths showed up in North America around two million years ago, but it was only during the last two ice ages that the Columbian species, w

50、hich could grow to be up to 14 feet tall, made its way to the Channel Islands 100 miles west of Los Angeles. Once the ice melted, many populations became trapped on the island and evolved into pygmy mammoths, an endemic species(地方種) to the Channel Islands which grew only to six feet tall.Judging fro

51、m its size, the newly found mammoth skull doesnt seem to fit any of the two species, Columbian or pygmy. To make things even more confusing, one of its two tusks(象牙) is nearly five feet long and coiled in a manner that resembles those of fully grown mammoths but the left tusk is shorter and sloped,

52、more like a juvenile(青少年).This has caused some scientists to say the Santa Rose skull may belong to a transitional species. Whatevers the case, a following examination of the mammoths teeth should put the matter to rest. The analysis will also tell us how old the mammoth was when it died, so we can

53、tell for sure whether it was an adult or juvenile.More interesting than the mammoths lineage, however, might be its story. The giant mammal lived 13,000 years ago or roughly the same timeline of the “Arlington Man”, a 13,000-year-old human skeleton also found on Santa Rosa. Some 3,000 years later hu

54、mans were already spread throughout the continent and the Channel Islands mammoth went extinct. The present finding might help reveal a link between the two.The remains also seem to confirm a long-held assumption that there were two mammoth migrations to the Channel Islands. “The discovery of this m

55、ammoth skull increases the probability that there were at least two migrations of Columbian mammoths to the island: during the most recent ice age 10,000 to 30,000 years ago, as well as the previous ice age that occurred about 150,000 years ago,” said USGS geologist Dan Muhs.56. The underlined part

56、in the first paragraph means the paleontologists feel _.A. excitedB. confusedC. anxiousD. frustrated57. Which of the following is not among the reasons why the newly found skull is special?A. It is possibly the best preserved mammoth skulls.B. Its size fits neither the Columbian mammoth nor the pygmy mammoth.C. It was found on the Santa Rose Island, Califoria.D. Its two tusks give
