    　　Scientists have found what look like caves on Mars(火星), and say they could be protecting life from the planet’s terrible environment．

    　　The first caves discovered beyond the Earth appear as seven anysterious black dots on the pictures sent back by NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter．Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian suface．

    　　“If there is life on Mars, there is a good chance you’d find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne,one of the reseachers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program．

    　　Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting．

    　　One photo taken at night by an infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusualy warm, suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out．

    　　“I said：‘Wow, that’s a cave’” Dr．Clarke said excitedly．“People have been looking for these for a long time; now we have found them．”

    He agreed such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold,radiatiion-soaked(充满辐射的), dry surface．

    　　“Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said．“If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria．A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation．”

    　　The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lave flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago．The outside of the tubes cooled, forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining have to flow out, forming caves．

    (1)

    What does the passage mainly talk about?

    [　　]

    A．

    How the caves were formed on Mars．

    B．

    How scientists found these caves on Mars．

    C．

    Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life．

    D．

    Scientiste have completely recognized the surface of Mars．

    (2)

    We can learn from the passage that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    water has already been found on Mars

    B．

    the scientists found all the caves at night

    C．

    it is certain that there is life in these caves

    D．

    the surface of Mars is bitterly cold, radiation-soaked and dry

    (3)

    According to the passage, Dr．Clarke was so excited because________．

    [　　]

    A．

    such caves could provide energy for life

    B．

    they had finally found the caves on Mars

    C．

    such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life

    D．

    scientists had long been looking for these caves

    (4)

    Necessary conditions for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    lava and energy

    B．

    water and radiation from space

    C．

    gases and lava

    D．

    water and protection from radiation

    　　Beijing;(13, July)China sent up a new data relay satellite, Tianlian I -02, on Monday at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in South-western Sichuan province．The new satellite will promote the country's satellite communication network for space docking(对接)．

    　　The satellite was launched on a Long-March-SC carrier rocket at 11∶41 p. m., sources at the centre told Xinhua News Agency．The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after its launch and was then successfully delivered into a geostationary transfer orbit(地球同步转移轨道)．

    　　Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country's second data relay satellite．The first, Tianlian I -01, was launched on April 25.2008．

    　　The two satellites will form a network to improve communications between China's spacecraft and bases on Earth, according to the centre．They will also be used to help the nation's first space docking, scheduled for the second half of this year．

    　　As planned, China will launch space module Tiangong-I, which was designed as a platform that will dock with an unmanned spaceship, Shenzhou, for the county's first space-docking mission this year．

    　　Two more Shenzhou spaceships will dock with Tiangong-I next year, and one will be manned by two or three astronauts, according to China Manned Space Engineering Office, which was the main user of the Tianlian I series data relay satellites．

    　　"The new satellite can cover a greater area to track and command the country's space vehicles in low-Earth orbits, such as manned spacecraft and remote sensing satellites, from a higher position m outer space．Only three satellites of this kind are needed to form a global communication network, and China has two now．" Pang Zhihao, a researcher and deputy editor-in-chief of Space International, said．

    　　The satellite could also equip astronauts with real-time communications, which will benefit the county s future manned space flights, he said．

    (1)

    What is the main purpose to send up Tianlian I -02?

    [　　]

    A．

    To test the function of a Long-March-SC carrier rocket．

    B．

    To carry some astronauts into space to do some research．

    C．

    To send more information and clearer pictures to mobile phones on the earth．

    D．

    To promote the country's satellite communication network for space docking'

    (2)

    [　　]

    A．

    one more such satellite is needed to form a global communication network．

    B．

    the satellite was developed by China Manned Space Engineering Office．

    C．

    it was less than three years since China launched its first date relay satellite of this kind．

    D．

    the satellite could help track and command space vehicles in orbits because it's lower in position．

    (3)

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the news report?

    [　　]

    A．

    Shenzhou Ⅷ is a manned spaceship．

    B．
