16． An international team of researchers has revealed new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.
The researchers，led by the University of Cambridge，used spacecraft laser-altimeter （激光高度計(jì)） to measure the shape of the upper surface of the ice cap to identify its patterns in height.They then showed that these patterns match computer model predictions for how a body of water beneath the ice cap would affect the surface.
Their results agree with earlier ice-penetrating radar （穿冰雷達(dá)） measurements that were originally interpreted to show a potential area of liquid water beneath the ice.There has been debate among scientists over the liquid water interpretation from the radar data alone，with some studies suggesting the radar signal is not due to liquid water.
The results provide the first independent line of evidence，using data other than radar，that there is liquid water beneath Mars' south polar ice cap.
"The combination of the new evidence，our computer model results，and the radar data makes it much more likely that at least one area of liquid water beneath the ice cap exists on Mars today，and that Mars must still be geothermally （地?zé)幔?active in order to keep the water beneath the ice cap liquid." said Professor Neil Arnold，who led the research.
Like Earth.Mars has thick water ice caps at both poles，roughly equivalent in combined volume to the Greenland Ice Sheet.Unlike Earth's ice sheets，however，which are underlain by water-filled channels and even large lakes beneath the ice cap，the polar ice caps on Mars have until recently been thought to be frozen solid all the way to their beds due to the cold Martian climate.
The analysis revealed a 10～15 kilometre long，wave shaped surface comprising a depression and a corresponding raised area.This is similar in scale to surface areas over the lakes beneath the ice cap on Earth.
（1）What is spacecraft laser-altimeter aimed to do？
A．To test chemicals in water.
B．To adjust the computer model.
C．To map the surface of the ice cap.
D．To measure the size of Mars.
（2）How did scientists respond to the liquid water interpretation based on radar data？
A．They firmly believed it.
B．They held different views.
C．They reached a conclusion.
D．They ignored the practice.
（3）What can we know about the ice caps on Mars from the new study？
A．They are only found at the south pole.
B．They are frozen solid to their beds.
C．They are shaped by ground lakes.
D．They are similar to those on Earth.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．An Unexpected Field in Space Studies.
B．An Advanced Technique to Explore Mars.
C．New Evidence for Liquid Water on Mars.
D．Human Optional Home in the Near Future.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5 -

19． Is your glass of milk half-full or half-empty？This saying is often used to test people's outlook in a situation；do they focus on the positives（a half- full glass） or the negatives （a half- empty one）？ （1）
—and it's known to boost your well-being.
Why is thinking positively good for you？
Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life's challenges.People who are more pessimistic may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.Scientists have even found that thinking positively can make you live longer.According to Professor Tali Sharot，being optimistic about the future can make you happier and more successful.
（2）
Worrying is like a fire alarm.
Everybody can worry from time to time.Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out，you wouldn't recognize risks." （3）It's like a fire alarm，" says child psychotherapist RachelMelville-Thomas. "The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn't a huge danger to face." When this happens，you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.
（4）
Optimism is shaped by your genes，which carry characteristics inherited from your parents，and by what happens to you. （5）Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that's positive —for example，an image of you playing guitar，having passed your next grade.Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it，such as practicing every day after school.
A．Learn to think positively.
B．Sometimes worrying can do harm to our health.
C．The way you think positively or negatively largely depends on your genes.
D．Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.
E．However，no matter your starting point，everyone can learn to become more optimistic.

33．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
My heart beat wildly as I stared at my phone screen.I re-read the message from my friend，Jane.Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news：she had been refused by her dream school.Jane had shared the sad news with only a few people.She didn't know who let the word out，but she was really hurt and disappointed.
I felt so bad.I knew how the news had gotten out because I had been the one to tell someone beyond her closest friends.Honestly，I hadn't realized she meant to keep it so close to only a few in the first place，but at the same time I'd known it wasn't a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me？It would have been easy to admit what I had done and apologize if her message put the blame，specifically，on me.But it read as though it had been copied and sent to several people.Once again ignoring the right choice，I chose the coward's （懦夫） way out instead.
"I'm so sorry for what happened to you，" I typed. "How awful that your confidence was broken!"
I hoped that would work.Her reply came back within seconds： "Thank you."
"It would be okay for me to remain anonymous （匿名），wouldn't it？" I thought to myself.
But，deep down，I knew I'd been the one to break faith and hurt her.I was ashamed，not only of my original action，but also because I'd taken a further step in the wrong direction by covering it up.
I felt painful at church on Sunday，sitting in silence all the time.Later，the speaker asked us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way of holding on to our faith，and if so，not to let anything stop us until we cleared it away.Chancing it all — whatever we feared，whatever held us back — would be worth it to make it right.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
I knew what stood between me and the right thing：my image.
______
The next day，I went straight to Jane.
