55、. But the moon that scientists are most interested in is Europa. The conditions on Europa make it the most likely place beyond Earth to have life in our solar system. It is covered in a layer of ice. and some scientists believe a liquid （流動(dòng)的）ocean lies under the icy surface. If this is （rue. Europa

56、 may have simple fbrms of life in these oceans. The creatures on Europa would probably be loo small to see without a microscope （顯微鏡）.But the idea of anything at all living on Europa is very exciting. Right now, we cannot explore Europa because it is too cold and too far away to send people there.

57、The spacecrafts and robots we have arc not dependable enough to land on the surface. But scientists have big plans. In the future, they hope to send one robot to melt （融化）some of the ice on Europa's surface, and another robot to swim through its oceans. The information that these robots gather could

58、 help find out whether there is life in Europa's oceans. If we eventually find some form of life on Europa, then it is almost certain that life formed independently in two places around the same star. If so. i（ would be reasonable to believe （hat life springs up in the universe quite easily once th

59、ere are the necessary ingredients, and that life might be found throughout our galaxy （車艮河系）,and the universe. If life were found on Europa, how might it change your view of the universe and our place in it? 16. What is the passage mostly about? A. Life on Europa.B. Jupiter's many moons. C. Scient

A. cool and dryB. icy and mysteriousC. warm and full of lifeD. cold and uninteresting 18. Which of these explains why scient

61、ists think life could exist on Europa? A. Europa is one of Jupiter5s 79 moons. B. Jupiter is the solar system's largest planet. C. Europa has a layer of ice that may have liquid below it. D. The creatures would be too small to see without a microscope. 19. What can we infer from the passage? 1

62、 . Scientists are most interested in Europa because of its size. 8 . Scientists will not be able to explore Europa until people are sent there. 9 . If creatures found on Europa were too small, scientists would be disappointed. 10 If life were found on Europa, it might change man's view of his pla

63、ce in the universe. 【答案】16-20. CDBCD 【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了木星其中的一顆衛(wèi)星，科學(xué)家推測(cè)也許會(huì)有生命存在。 16 .主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，主要介紹了木星其中的一顆衛(wèi)星，科學(xué)家推測(cè)也許會(huì)有生命存在。應(yīng)選Co.詞義猜想題。根據(jù)“And it has 79 moons.”可知,木星有79顆衛(wèi)星,因此“moon”意為“衛(wèi)星”。應(yīng)選D。 17 .細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Right now, we cannot explore Europa because it is too cold and too far away to send people

64、 there”可知，目前，我們還無(wú)法探索Europa,因?yàn)樗洌b遠(yuǎn)，無(wú)法將人類送到那里，因此Europa無(wú) 法探測(cè)，所以顯得很神秘。應(yīng)選B。 18 .細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"It is covered in a layer of icc, and some scientists believe a liquid （流動(dòng)的）ocean lies under the icy surface. If this is true, Europa may have simple forms of life in these oceans.“可知，它被一層冰覆蓋著， 一些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為在冰的外表下有一個(gè)液態(tài)海

65、洋。如果這是真的，Europa可能在這些海洋中有簡(jiǎn)單的生命形 式。應(yīng)選C。 19 .推理判斷題。根據(jù)"If life were found on Europa, how might it change your view of the universe and our place inil?”可知，如果在Europa上發(fā)現(xiàn)了生命，它會(huì)如何改變你對(duì)宇宙的看法以及我們?cè)谄渲械奈恢?？?yīng)選D。 B Slowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world.

66、ing cars, all the internet-connected devices （裝置）in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U.S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit （千兆）speeds. “5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence （人工智能），of this coining data age." said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. The self-driving vehicle is a gre
