Some higher graders said， "You？You're a small fry.You're not even pretty." Later，one popular girl said， "I can play better than you.And if you're not better than me，then how can you be an actor？Give.It.Up."
    Later，she entered the Volunteers of America shelter center.She learned there were more than 300 people living there and many children were even mistreated and lost their confidence.Nasya was stunned. "I was so blessed that I didn't realize how blessed I was!" she says. "I'm healthy，have wonderful parents，a great home.I couldn't believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard."

204593. （2023•高新一中•高二下期末） Anne Lacaton and Jean-Phippe Vassal，this year's Pritzker Prize winners，were as surprised as anyone else when the most famous award in architecture was made public yesterday.
   "Of course it's very pleasant，and we are very pleased，"Lacaton said at a conference with her partner，both smiling broadly from their black eyeglasses.ou
   Putting aside their eyeglasses，Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of Pritzker winners，known for their easily recognizable styles and grand work.Instead，the two apply their simple guideline to their work on old urban buildings for low-income families：Never destroy，never remove or replace，always add，transform，and reuse!
   When Lacaton and Vassal were asked to redesign a particularly large and over-crowded public housing block in Bordeaux in 2017，the residents（居民） told them they could not afford to move，even temporarily，but they wanted bigger units.Their solution was to replace the folding wooden front door with sliding glass door to each unit and painted the ugly walls with something bright.Suddenly，everyone had roomy outdoor space，some of which could be used during the winter as"winter gardens"
   "So，people can not only get sun and light and spend time with family，but it's also open to neighbors，" Columbia University architecture professor Mabel Wilson."I would love to live in one of the apartments t they've redesigned."
   Their approach of cheap and creative re-adaption could be a model for urban planning in the US，Wilson adds，where destruction has been seen as a solution to old public housing in such cities as Chicago and St.Louis
   There's a lot of violence in architecture and urbanism.We try to be precise.We try to work v kindness，" Lacaton once explained."Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them，when the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant，when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle，and when uses and sensations are unexpected，"
   Lacaton and Vassal started their firm in Paris in 1987.Together，they worked primarily in France.

（1）Why are Lacaton's and Vassal's eyeglasses mentioned in paragraph 3？
A．To draw readers attention to their unusual color.
B．To show that Pritzker Prize winners need eyeglasses.
C．To tell us how surprised and happy they are for the prize
D．To stress their only possible similarity with other Pritzker winners.
（2）What did Lacaton and Vassal do in the Bordeaux public housing project？
A．They built winter gardens in the outdoor space.
B．They destroyed the walls to provide more space.
C．They just changed the doors and repainted the walls.
D．They provided bigger temporary rooms for the residents.
（3）What have Lacaton and Vassal most probably done to win the Pritzker Prize？
A．They have built many public houses with unique styles.
B．They have designed various famous buildings in the world.
C．They have provided free services for poor families in the US.
D．They have tried to transform old urban buildings with kindness
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？
A．Architecture.
B．Environment.
C．Lifestyle.
D．Politics.

206054. （2016•七十中•高一下期末） It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia．EL Nino，referring to the Christ son in Spanish，was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas．EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．El Nino lasts about a year．
In normal weather conditions，warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean．The winds bring early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction．They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean．The storms no longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．El Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，El Nino was stronger than usual．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought was at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry，forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2，000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought cost the country over 3，000，000，000．It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives．

202728. （2020•西安中学•六模） Six Chinese survived the tragedy of the Royal Mail Ship Titanic，but disappeared soon after．Now a British documentarian，Arthur Jones，will uncover stories and histories of discrimination．
   There were eight Chinese between the ages of 24 and 37 on the Titanic，sharing one 59-pound third-class ticket，but only six survived from its sinking．When they arrived in the United States，they were not helped like the other 705 survivors．Instead they were forced to leave the country within 24 hours because of the Chinese Exclusion Act signed in 1882．
   Some westerners questioned the six Chinese survivors as stowaways and claimed that they survived because they secretly climbed on the lifeboat or dressed as women to board lifeboats．
   But after visiting foreign documents，museums and cooperating with American and Chinese historians，Jones believes they did not do anything disgraceful in order to survive the disaster． "This is not only a story about the survivors of Titanic，but also a story of a group of brave Chinese people exploring the outside world at that time，" he said．
   When the ship hit an iceberg，like other third-class passengers the eight Chinese were released from the locked gates at last，but not allowed to board the lifeboat．Luckily，four of them boarded a small broken boat，and one was rescued by another lifeboat．Another one，Fang Lang，floated on a piece of wooden board in the sea．The only returning lifeboat saved him from freezing．
   To restore their real stories，Jones and his team found Fang Lang's son in Wisconsin，US．Also，Jones will visit Taishan city in south China's Guangdong province，recorded as the survivors' hometown．The filmmakers also established a website，whoarethesix．com，for more clues．
   Ordinarily，people think of Titanic as a story of rich white people，but don't know there were people from all over the world，including Chinese． "Their stories are never told，" Jones said．
   The documentary The Six is expected to be released in China late this year．

（1）What can we learn about the Chinese Exclusion Act？
A．It put Chinese at disadvantage．

205426. （2020•西安中学•高二下期末） Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene is complete．Several years ago，it seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day when human being will be cloned is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument in terms of morality （道德） or religion．
   Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial，among many cases，it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning．Moreover，cloning would enable women who can't get pregnant to have children of their own．
   Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned，so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs．This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world who are expected to lose their lives due to organ problems．It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists．
   However，arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side．Primarily，I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life．There would be a large number of same genes，which reduce the chances of evolution，since it may be difficult for living creatures to naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment，which will result in ultimate disappearance．Furthermore，cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear．Thus，leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and，chances are that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society．
   Scientists couldn't surely guarantee that the first cloned humans will be normal．Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool"．
   Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent．We should try to look at all "shades" of it．I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs；not humans．Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life"．It is believed that cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．

（1）What's the author's opinion on cloning？
A．Cloning should be entirely banned．
B．Cloning should be used in creating life．
C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce．
D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs．
（2）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？
A． $德优题库$ B． $德优题库$
C． $德优题库$ D． $德优题库$
（3）Where is the text probably from？
A．A story book．
B．A magazine．
C．A science fiction．
D．A novel．

205453. （2020•西安中学•高二上期末） A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation （BBC） has caused a stir in China and in the UK．
   The documentary，titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough？focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire．
   The teachers instruct the students for a month．The pupils are then tested，and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system．The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance．
   The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students．A clip from the documentary online shows some problems，with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline，while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy．
   This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK，with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline．Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背） instead of independent thinking．For instance，Chinese language teacherould do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters．They should inspire students，helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature．This is a higher level of teaching．
  Yang Dongping，dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute，says， "The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority．Foreign teaching methods，however，are more natural and relaxing，and designed to inspire students' interest in learning．Education methods are based on culture．That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place．"
   Yang Dongping says， "The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods．Nobel prize winner，Yang Zhenning，gave a very fair comment on this issue．He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively，helping them reach high standards．However，it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students．"

（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens？
A．To test the intelligence of the UK teens．
B．To help the school improve their teaching efficiency．
C．To do some practical research into the UK education system．
D．To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods．
（2）What's the meaning of the underlined word "harsh" in the fourth paragraph？
A．Extremely strict
B．Quite friendly
C．Rather cold
D．Very attractive
（3）According to Yang Dongping，Chinese teaching methods        ．

203285. （2016•华清中学•二模） Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants，nurses，sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours．
Many of these wage-earners return in the end．In the meantime，they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines' case，over 10% of its GDP．Between January and November，the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005．Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting （劳务输出） countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars．As for those Asian countries that import （输入） labour，as in Europe，falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers．
On January 13^th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） signed an agreement to help migrant （流动的） workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries，but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher．
Of the ten ASEAN countries，the Philipines，Indonesia，Myanmar，Cambodia，Vietnam and Laos export labour，Singapore and Brunei import it，and Thailand and Malaysia do both．Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that，in the next ten years，the total labour force of the worker-exporting countrieould grow by about a third．It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control．
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs．Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers，and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore，just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates （犯罪率）．
（1）It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that        ．
A．the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers
B．labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D．the country both exports and imports labour force
（2）The flow of labour is a growing problem because        ．
A．there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B．more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C．some countries suffer from low birth rates
D．the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
（3）For the labour-importing countries，the flow of labour may lead to        ．
A．higher birth rates
B．lower crime rates
C．greater money inflows
D．stronger job competition
（4）The writer of the text seems to        ．
A．support the flow of labour between countries
B．report fairly on the question of labour flow
C．express his worries over the ASEAN's decision
D．regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem．

203283. （2016•华清中学•二模） When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam，he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake，President Clinton's advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that，in Korea，wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk．Therefore，she should be addressed （称谓） as Mrs．Sohn．
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture thinking patterns．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．
In addition to Koreans，some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil's parents．They become puzzled about the student's correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．
Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries，she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name，they generally write the father's family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don't always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures，the order of first and last names is reversed （颠倒）．Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce，admit it，and ask the person to help you say it correctly．
（1）The story of Bill Clinton is used to        ．
A．improve US-Korean relations
B．introduce the topic of the text
C．describe his visit to Korea
D．tell us how to address a person
（2）When a woman marries in Korea，she        ．
A．continues to use her family name
B．uses her husband's given name

203073. （2017•铁一中学•三模） Good news for giant panda lovers：The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction．
The International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） downgraded the species from"endangered"to"vulnerable"as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii．
$德优题库$
The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1，864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014-their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014．
Chinese conservation efforts，including forest protection and reforestation，are considered to be the driving force behind the animal's resurgence．
"It's all about restoring the habitats，"Craig Hilton-Taylor，head of the IUCN Red List，told the BBC．
The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67，from 13 in 1992．Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves，according to the World Wildlife Fund．
"Just by restoring the panda's habitat，that's given them back their space and made food available to them，"Hilton-Taylor said．
A loss of habitats，on the contrary，was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1，200 in the 1980s，Hilton-Taylor added．
Apart from giant pandas，the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from"endangered"to"near threatened"．According to a statement from IUCN，the animal's numbers dwindled severely-dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65，000-72，500 in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching．Rigorous（严格的） protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100，000 and 150，000．
Despite the improved statuses，wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges．The IUCN warned，for example，that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda's bamboo habitat in the next 80 years，which would reverse the species recent gains．

（1）What does the underlined word in pagagraph 1 mean？

A．dangerous and threatened

B．safe and sound

C．weak and easily hurt

D．normal and common

（2）Which of the following can account for pandas' living improvement？
A．Better climate．
B．More built reserves．
C．Well restored habitats．
D．Aroused public awareness．
（3）The passage is written in order to ．

B．inform

C．argue D advocate

（4）What does the last paragraph imply？
A．The climate will influence the threatened species．
B．We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species．
C．Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food．
D．Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply．

202768. （2020•西安中学•二模） Nobel prize-winners，legendary authors，and famous scientists - you might think all these people were born to be creative．However，that's not always the case．
   While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth，famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as "late bloomers" - people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life．
   This idea of "peaking" at different times inspired new research from the United States． "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth，but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about，" said Bruce Weinburg，a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study．
   According to the study，published earlier this month in the journal De Economist，there are two types of people：conceptual and experimental thinkers．
   To reach this conclusion，researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work，to identify their creative peaks．
   Some peaked from ages 25-29．Classified as conceptual thinkers，these people think outside of the box，coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things．
   The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s．These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time．This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes，before eventually finding new solutions．
   "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，" said Weinburg．He added that their study isn't limited to economics，saying it can apply to other creative disciplines （知识领域）．So if you're struggling to come up with new ideas，don't panic．Your creative peak may be yet to arrive．

（1）What did the study from the US find？
A．Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people．
B．Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking．
C．One's creative peak is related to their job type．
D．Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times．
（2）What does the underlined word "conventional" mean in context？
A．Easy．
B．Unusual．
C．Traditional．
D．Appropriate．
（3）What do we know about experimental thinkers？
A．Their talents usually bloom in their 20s．
B．They are good at doing experiments．
C．They work out new methods based on experience．
D．They are more successful than conceptual thinkers．
（4）What would Weinberg probably agree with？
A．It's difficult to find one's talent in later years．
B．More research needs to be done about creative peaks．
C．Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field．
D．Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s．

203205. （2016•西安中学•二模） At 2 pm on 5 December 1945，five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather．Shortly afterwards，the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning．Two hours after take-off，all contact with the planes was lost．A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes．Within 20 minutes，radio contact with it had also been lost．No trace of any of the planes was ever found．In all，six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air．
The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area：for years，navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported．The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle．The Cyclops，a 19，000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk，Virginia in March 1918，when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ever being found．
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation．The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language-the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend．The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils' Triangle，the Triangle of Death，the Graveyard of the Atlantic．It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1，000 people．Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean．

205508. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina，but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world．Denmark now gets 47% of its electricity from wind，and there will be more to come，thanks to a combination of history and policy．
   Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century．So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest．Since the 1970s，Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country．In the 1980s，due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants，Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it．
   Even back in 2002，Denmark took climate change warnings seriously．They drew up policies，aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%，which they did via renewable energy investment．Some of the world's largest companies in the field-including Vestas，which builds turbines（涡轮机），and Orsted，which specializes in offshore wind projects-are Danish，so the country has an impact beyond its borders．
   The huge impact of Denmark's wind industry is important．But Denmark is a small country，so while almost 50% of its electricity from wind is admirable，it's also minor in terms of entire global impact．
   While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5，758 megawatts （MW） of capacity，Spain's 23，000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it's a much bigger country．China is the leader in wind energy at 221，000 MW，and the U．S．is the second in the world at about 96，000 MW．
   At the end of 2019，lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal：increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%．

（1）What can we know about Denmark？
A．It is a leader in solar energy．
B．It is a pioneer in clean energy．
C．It is a victim of climate change．
D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy．
（2）What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects？
A．Indifferent．
B．Ambiguous．
C．Positive．
D．Opposed．
（3）Which country produces the most wind energy in the world？
A．Denmark．
B．China．
C．The U．S．
D．Spain．
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Almost Half of Denmark's Electricity Comes from Wind Power
B．Denmark's Government Pushes ahead with Fossil-fuel Projects
C．Denmark Has a Great Effect on World's Wind Power Equipment
D．Denmark Has a Long History of Developing Renewable Power

206027. （2016•长安区一中•高二下期末） On May 3，2002，archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC．Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior．There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat．He carried a copper knife on his breast．The most amazing find was two gold earrings．That would have made him a man of distinction．Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay，tools and materials to make arrows，a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second，smaller copper knife．Next to them lay a cushion stone，upon which the man could work metal．
His grave is the richest of any found from that period，because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）．Besides，he was buried three miles from Stonehenge．Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge．
Stonehenge was begun around 3，000 BC．In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built．The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons．But the smaller blue stones，still weighing 4 tons on average，came from west Wales．It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km．It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries．
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain．In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age．
（1）Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man？
A．Tools，a bone pin，a bow and a cushion stone．
B．A copper knife and two gold earrings．

（2）The man buried in the grave might be         at that time．
A．a poor man
B．a warm-hearted man
C．an ordinary man
D．a rich man
（3）Why is the man buried in the grave called the"King of Stonehenge"？
A．He was buried three miles from Stonehenge．
B．He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain．
C．He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge．
D．All of the above．
（4）We can infer that        ．

205842. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） WASHINGTON：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
   While scientists have speculated （推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
   This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

（1）What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
（2）Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa．
D．No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa．
（4）What type of writing does this passage belong to？
A．A term essay
B．A news report
C．An experiment report
D．An exploration review
