25、etter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.30 For more than thirty years after astronauts first set foot on the Moon, scientists have been unable to unravel the mystery of where the Earths only satellite came from. But now there is direct evidence that th
26、e Moon was born after a giant collision between the young Earth and another planet.Previous studies of rocks from the Earth and the Moon have been unable to distinguish between the two, suggesting that they formed from the same material. But this still left room for a number of theories explaining h
27、owfor example, that the Moon and Earth formed from the same material at the same time. It was even suggested that the early Earth spun so fast it formed a bulge that eventually broke off to form the Moon.Franck Poitrasson, and his colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have compared
28、 Moon rocks with rocks from Earth and discovered a surprising difference. They analysed the weight of the elements present in the rock using a highly accurate form of mass spectroscopy(光谱研究 ) that involves vaporising a sample by passing it through an argon (氩) flame. Although they appeared very simi
29、lar in most respects, the Moon rocks had a higher ratio of iron-57 to iron-54 isotopes(同位素)than the Earth rocks. “The only way we could explain this difference is that the Moon and the Earth were partly vaporised during their formation,“ says Poitrasson.Only the popular “giant planetary impact“ theo
30、ry could generate the temperatures of more than 1700 needed to vaporise iron. In this scenario, a Mars-sized planet known as Theia crashed into Earth 50 million years after the birth of the Solar System. This catastrophic collision would have released 100 million times more energy than the impact be
31、lieved to have wiped out the dinosaursenough to melt and vaporise a large portion of the Earth and completely destroy Theia. The debris from the collision would have been thrown into orbit around the Earth and eventually coalesced to form the Moon.When iron is vaporised, the lighter isotopes burn of
32、f first. And since the ejected debris that became the Moon would have been more thoroughly vaporised, it would have lost a greater proportion of its lighter iron isotopes than Earth did. This would explain the different ratios that Poitrasson has found.31 The main theme of the passage is _.（A）the di
33、fferences between the Earth and the Moon（B） how man manages to set foot onto the Moon（C） the collision between the Earth and the Moon（D）the origin of the Moon32 Previous studies could not distinguish between _.（A）the rocks from the Earth and the Moon（B） the Earth and the Moon（C） the Moon and the man
34、-made satellites（D）the young Earth and other planets33 Franck Poitrasson and his colleagues analyzed the weight of the elements present in the rock in order to _.（A）find out which rock contains more iron（B） see how hot it needs to vaporize irons（C） investigate how the Moon was formed（D）estimate whic
35、h rock is more valuable34 The passage tells us that the Theia crashed into the Earth _.（A）100 million years ago（B） leading to the rapid reproduction of the dinosaurs（C） vaporizing the iron on the Earth（D）producing enough energy to split the Earth into halves35 Which of the following statement is NOT
36、 TRUE according to the passage?（A）The Moon was born after a giant collision between the young Earth and another planet.（B） The Moon rocks had a higher ratio of iron 57 to iron 54 isotopes than the Earth rocks.（C） The Moon and the Earth have almost the same portion of iron.（D）This catastrophic collis
37、ion would have released much more energy than the impact believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs.36 What can we infer from the passage?（A）There are more lighter iron isotopes on the Moon than on the Earth.（B） There are fewer lighter iron isotopes on the Moon than on the Earth.（C） The Earth had been
38、 more thoroughly vaporized than the Moon.（D）Lighter iron isotopes and heavier iron isotopes have the same vaporizing point.36 Our brains could be hard-wired to be male or female long before we begin to grow testes(丸)or ovaries(卵巢)in the womb. This discovery might explain why some people feel trapped
39、 in a body thats the wrong sex, and could also lead to tests that reveal the true “brain sex“ of babies born with ambiguous genitalia(生殖器 ).Till now, the orthodoxy among developmental biologists has been that embryos develop ovaries and become female unless a gene called SRY on the Y chromosome is s
40、witched on. If this gene is active, it makes testes develop instead. This switch is seen as the key event in determining whether a baby is a girl or a boy. Only after the gonads(性腺) form and flood the body with the appropriate hormones, the theory goes, is the sex of our minds and bodies determined.
41、But in a study of mice, a team at the University of California, Los Angeles, has now found that males and females show differences in the expression of no fewer than 50 genes well before SRY switches on. “Its the first discovery of genes differentially expressed in the brain, “says Eric Vilain, who
42、led the UCLA team. “They may have an impact on the hard-wired development of the brain in terms of sexual differentiation independent of gonadal induction.“Vilain is presenting details of seven of the 50 genes to the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics in Baltimore this week. Th
43、ree of these genes are dominant in females and four are dominant in males. The next step for Vilain and his team will be to show that the genes in question really do influence brain sexualityand not just in mice. This is likely to be a much tougher proposition than merely showing there are differenc
44、es in expression.But if the findings are confirmed, they could one day yield blood tests that allow doctors to establish the brain sex of babies born with genitalia that share features of both sexes. At present doctors and parents have to guess which gender to assign for surgical “correction“.37 The
45、 first paragraph tells us that _.（A）whether we will be male or female is determined by the brain, not the genitalia（B） some people consider themselves to be male but are in fact female physiologically（C） our brain sex is formed long after our testes or ovaries begin to grow（D）some people feel trappe
46、d because they have ambiguous genitalia38 Which of the following word is closer to the word “hard-wired“ in the first paragraph?（A）temporary（B） adjustable（C） unchangeable（D）revisable39 According to the orthodoxy among developmental biologists, if SRY is active,_.（A）the baby can either be a boy or a
47、girl（B） the baby will surely be a girl（C） the baby will definitely come to be a boy（D）the baby will certainly develop ambiguous genitalia40 What has been found by the study at UCLA?（A）We human beings have fewer than fifty genes.（B） Males and females have similar expression genes.（C） Differences in t
48、he expression of genes appear before SRY switches on.（D）Sexual differentiation depends mainly on gonadal induction.41 From paragraph 4 we know that Vilain and his team are going to _.（A）continue to study the influence of genes on human brain sexuality（B） look for more dominant genes for males as wel
49、l as for females（C） continue their study about genes on mice（D）show that there are differences in expression of genes of males and females42 We can infer from the last paragraph that _.（A）all babies are born with genitalia that share features of both sexes（B） surgical correction operations at present are mainly based on guessing（C） in the future fewer babies will be born with ambiguous genitalia（D）in the future doctors may be
