Image Martian Dust Particles
NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has taken its first-ever picture of a single particle of rusty Martian dust with one of its microscopes. The dust particles of dust was shown at a higher magnification than anything outside of the Earth that has been imaged before. The rounded particle measured only about one micrometer, or one millionth of a meter, across.
Taking this image required the highest resolution microscope operated off Earth and a specially designed device to hold the Martian dust,” said Tom Pike, a phoenix science team member from Imperial College London. “ We always knew it was going to be technically very challenging to image particles this small.”
The device that imaged the dust speck is called an atomic force microscope, which maps the shape of particles in three dimensions by scanning them with a sharp tip at the end of a spring. The atomic force microscope can detail the shape of particles as small as about 100 nanometers. And this won’t be the last dust particle that Phoenix will image. “After this first success, we’re now working on building up a portrait gallery of the dust on Mars.” Pike said.
Dust exists everywhere on Mars, coating the surface and giving it its rusty red color. Dust partials also color the Martian sky pink and feed storms that regularly envelope the planet. The ultra-fine dust is the medium that actively links gases in the Martian atmosphere to processes in Martian soil, so it is critically important to understanding Mars’ environment, the researchers said.
The $420-million phoenix mission is analyzing the dust and subsurface ice layers of Mars’ artic regions to look for signs of potential past habitability. The particle seen in the atomic force microscope image was part of a sample scooped by the robotic arm from the “Snow White” trench and delivered to Phoenix’s microscope station in early July.
16.The dust particle on Mars is the small particle that has been imaged outside of Earth.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. Using the same technology, we have also measured the size of particles on the moon and Jupiter.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. Scientists use the highest resolution microscope to watch and record the image of Martian particles on earth.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
19. Tom Pike said that they used to think it was no easy job to image such small particles.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
20. An electronic device has been developed to measure the weight of certain Martian particles.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
21. After collecting the last Martian dust particle, the scientists have started to build up a portrait gallery of it.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
22. The Phoenix’s robotic arm collected the Martian dust particles for analysis on Mars.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Heartbeat of America
1 New York—the Statue of Liberty,the skyscrapers,the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue and the many theaters on Broadway. This is America’s cultural capital. It is also her biggest city, with a population of nearly 8 million. In the summer it is hot,hot,hot and in the winter it Can be very cold. Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round.
2 Manhattan is the real center of the city. When people say “New York City,” they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops, buildings and museums are here. In addition, Manhattan is the scene of New York’s busy night life. In 1605 the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $26 today.
3 Wall Street in Manhattan is the financial heart of the USA. It is also the most important banking center in the world. It is a street of “skyscrapers”. These are those incredible,high buildings,which Americans invented,and built faster and higher than anyone else. Perhaps the two most spectacular skyscrapers in New York are the two towers of the New York World Trade Center. When the sun sets, their 110 floors shine like pure gold.
4 Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system(有自己旳交通设施). Traffic jams can be terrible. It’s usually quickest to go by subway. The New York subway is easy to use and quite cheap. The subway goes to almost every comer of Manhattan. But it is not safe to take the subway late at night because in some places you could get robbed. New York buses are also easy to use. You see more if you go by bus. There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs. Taxis do not go outside the city. However, they will go to the airports. In addition to the taxi fare, people give the taxi driver a tip of 15 percent of the fare’s value.
5 Central Park is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of New York’s concrete desert. It is surprisingly big, with lakes and woods,as well as organized recreation areas. New Yorkers love Central Park,and they use it all the time. In the winter, they go ice—skating,and in the summer roller—skating. They play ball,ride horses and have picnics. They go bicycling and boating. There is even a children’s zoo, with wild birds and animals.
6 Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue, once called “Millionaire’s Row(百万富翁营).” In the 19th century, the richest men in America built their magnificent homes here. It is still the most fashionable street in the city, with famous department stores.
7 Broadway is the street where you will find New York’s best-known theaters. But away from the bright lights and elegant clothes of Broadway are many smaller theaters. Their plays are called “off-Broad—way” and are often more unusual than the Broadway shows. As well as many theaters,New York has a famous opera house. This is the Metropolitan,where international stars sing from September until April. Carnegie Hall is the city’s more popular concert hall. But night life in New York offers more than classical music and theater. There are hundreds of nightclubs where people go to eat and dance.
23. Paragraph 3________
24. Paragraph 4________
25. Paragraph 5________
26. Paragraph 6________
A The Financial Center of USA(美国金融中心)

Cell Phones: Hang UP or Keep Talking
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phone? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say tha amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phone may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
31. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that..
A. they’re popular.
B. they’re cheap.
C. they’re useful.
D. they’re convenient.
32. The word “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by.
A. cured
B. removed.
C. discovered
D. caused
33. The salesman retired young because __________.
A. he disliked using mobile phones.
B. he was tired of talking on his mobile phone.
C. he couldn’t remember simple tasks
D. his employer’s doctor persuaded him to.
34. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies _______.
A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
B. develop new technology to reduce mobile radiation
C. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
D. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
35. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people _________.
A. to buy mobile phones

A Small but Mighty Telescope
ﻩOn December14,NASA blasted a small but mighty telescope into space. The telescope is called WISE and is about as wide around as a trashcan. Don’t let its small size fool you: WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some of the wildest objects in the unknown universe, including asteroids, faint stars, blazing galaxies and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born.
ﻩ“I’m very excited because we’re going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven’t seen before,” said Ned Wright, a scientist who directs the WISE project.
ﻩSince arriving in space, the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth, held by gravity in a polar orbit. Its camera is pointed outward, away from the Earth, and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes. After six months it will have taken pictures across the entire sky. The pictures taken by WISE won’t be like everyday digital photographs, however. WISE stands for “Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer.” As its name suggests, the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation.
Radiation is energy that travels as a wave. Visible light, including the familiar spectrum of light that becomes visible in a rainbow, is an example of radiation. When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree, it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens, they are processed by the camera, which then puts the image together.
ﻩWaves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light, so ordinary digital cameras don’t see them, and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye, longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin.
ﻩThat’s a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can’t. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids, for example, are giant rocks that float through space —— but they absorb most of the light that reaches them. They don’t reflect light, so they’re difficult to see. But they do give off infrared radiation, so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them. During its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.
ﻩBrown dwarfs are another kind of deep-spac
