For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER
30、SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 As NASA prepares to set twin robots loose on the Martian surface and makes plans to send another in 2007, the agencys long term goal is clear: determine whether the red planet does or ever did harbor life. But the current search for life is necessarily
31、 limited to life as we know it, organisms dependent on liquid water. A SPACE, com reader recently suggested that “We as humans are arrogant, simply believing that any other form of life will be just like us. “ Researchers devoted to the search for extraterrestrial(ET)have a similar view. “Scientists
32、 approach to finding life is very Earth-centric,“ says Kenneth Nealson, a geobiologist at the University of Southern California. “Based on what we know about life on Earth, we set the limits for where we might look on other planets,“ Nealson said. Within that framework, however, there are extreme ca
33、ses of life on Earth that suggest the range of places to look on frigid Mars. Nealson and his colleagues recently found the most extreme sort of organism in a salty liquid lake under the permafrost of Siberia. The organism, named cryopegella, can exist at colder temperatures than any previously disc
34、overed. Nealsons team figures that if the ice at the polar caps of Mars warmed to liquid water, organisms like cryopegella could have awakened and repaired any damage that might have occurred to their various cellular components. That does not mean there are necessarily dormant microbes within the i
35、ce caps of Mars. But it does suggest a broader range of potential cradles for life. Other researchers agree, and a host of so-called “extremophile“ discoveries on Earth in recent years indicate the polar regions of Mars might be prime hunting grounds. As on Earth, organisms there might be slathered
36、in natural antifreeze or be able to go dormant for tens of thousands of years, waiting for a brief thaw, their moment in the Sun. Meanwhile, scientists recognize that there could indeed be life elsewhere in the universe that does not require water. And some astrobiologists are trying to explore the
37、possibilities. But it is a tough problem to approach. In looking for “life as we dont know it,“ its hard to even imagine what to expect. Life might or might not exist on Mars. If there are critters there, they might or might not be like bacteria on Earth. In laboratory conditions, scientists in 2001
38、 were able to get one-celled organisms to incorporate an amino acida fundamental building block of lifethat no other known life uses. The discovery borders on the creation of artificial life, experts said. It also suggests that ET might operate by entirely different rules than those were used to. If
39、 life on Mars is fundamentally different from what scientists understand life to be, then current spacecraft and others in the works may well not recognize whats right under their mechanical noses. 31 According to the passage, we human beings are arrogant because_. （ A） we can send robots to Mars （
40、B） we are searching ET in the outer space （ C） we assume that life is all humanlike （ D） we believe we are the most intelligent life 32 According to Kenneth Nealson, scientists current approach to finding life is_. （ A） limited （ B） costly （ C） centralized （ D） earthly 33 Nealsons teams discovery of
41、 extreme cases of life on Earth suggests that_. （ A） there might be life on Mars that still remains dormant （ B） there might be ET in the universe that is like human beings （ C） there might be life that is beyond the range of our current search （ D） there might be ET elsewhere in the universe that d
42、oes not require water 34 The purpose of the author mentioning scientists laboratory creation in 2001 is to emphasize the idea that . （ A） it is hard to imagine what ET is really like （ B） life might or might not exist on Mars （ C） it is possible to create artificial life （ D） Martians may live by en
43、tirely different rules 35 What is the best title of the passage? （ A） Does Mars Harbor Life? （ B） If We Find ET, Will We Know It? （ C） Will the Twin Robots Live Up to Us? （ D） Why Search ET As We Dont Know It? 35 For good or ill, globalization has become the economic buzz-word of the 1990s. National
44、 economies are undoubtedly becoming steadily more integrated as cross-border flows of trade, investment and financial capital increase. Consumers are buying more foreign goods, a growing number of firms now operate across national borders, and savers are investing more than ever before in far-flung
45、places. Whether all of this is for good or ill is a topic of heated debate. One positive view is that globalization is an unmixed blessing, with the potential to boost productivity and living standards everywhere. This is because a globally integrated economy can lead to a better division of labor b
46、etween countries, allowing low-wage countries to specialize in labor-intensive tasks while high-wage countries use workers in more productive ways. It will allow firms to exploit bigger economies of scale. And with globalization, capital can be shifted to whatever country offers the most productive
47、investment opportunities, not trapped at home financing projects with poor returns. Critics of globalization take a gloomier view. They predict that increased competition from low-wage developing countries will destroy jobs and push down wages in todays rich economies. There will be a race to the bo
48、ttom as countries reduce wages, taxes, welfare benefits and environmental controls to make themselves more competitive. Pressure to compete will erode the ability of governments to set their own economic policies. The critic also worry about the increased power of financial markets to cause economic
49、 havoc, as in the European currency crises of 1992 and 1993, Mexico in 19941995 and South-East Asia in 1997. 36 National economies are becoming more integrated as a result of_. （ A） increasing flows of cross-border trade, investment and financial capital （ B） more and more consumers going abroad to buy goods （ C） many companies establishing new businesses （ D） savers investing more in developed areas than i
