16、o Mars ended successfully on February 18,2021,with a picture-perfect landing inside the Jezero Crater.The car-sized,six-wheeled rover,nicknamed Percy,is the US space agency s biggest and most advanced explorer to date.Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial（微生物的）life on Mars.

17、Landing on Mars is extremely tricky.The Red Planet s gravitational（弓I 力的）pull causes approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds,while its thin atmosphere-just 1 percent that of Earth s-does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.The scientists had to reduce Percy s 12,000 m

18、ph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph一in just six and a half minutes.The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees一any steeper,and the spacecraft would burn up;any flatter,and it would get lost in space.lt is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the

19、 “seven minutes of terror”.Upon attaining a manageable speed,尸briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot.Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.The NASA scientists will spend the next

20、two months testing Percy, s scientific instruments.Once ready,the rover will begin to carry out its mission.Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made,but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof J said Lori Glaze,director of NASA s Planetary Science D

21、ivision/While we 11 learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover,it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples （樣本）carry evidence that Mars once harbored life.” 8.What is the extraordinar

22、y challenge for the rover to land on Mars?A.The speed reduction.B.The atmosphere analysis.C.The location search.D.The time management.9.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Ways to find the precise entry angle.B.Consequences of wrong entry degree. C.Factors to survive the seven minutes”. D.Reasons fo

23、r the necessity of speed reducing. lO.What does it refer to in Paragraph 4?A.The spot.B.The area.C.The system.D.The surface. What can be inferred from Lori Glaze? s words?A.Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed. C.Man still has a l

24、ong way to go to prove life was on Mars. D.Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on the Earth.DAnyone who commutes（通勤）by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life.But humans are not alone in facing potential jams.Ants also commute一between their nests and sources of food

25、.The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.When humans commute,there? s a point at which cars become dense （稠密的）enough to slow down the flow of traffic,causing a jam.Researchers wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck.So they regulated traffic density by constr

26、ucting bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food.Then they waited and watched,trying to find out at what point they were going to have a traffic jam.But it appeared that that never happened.They always managed to avoid a traffic jam.The flow of ants did increa

27、se in the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high density.But it never slowed down or stopped,even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole.And they found

28、that when ants sense overcrowding,they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high- density areas,which prevents jams.Their behaviour may be promoted by pheromones,chemicals that can tell other ants where a trail is.The ants also manage to avoid colliding（碰撞）with each other at high density,which cou

29、ld really slow them down.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems?Not likely.That1 s because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible,human drivers put their own goals first.Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony.But the research co

30、uld be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars,which can be designed to be less like selfish humansand more like ants. What does the underlined wordthis in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Surviving.B.Commuting.C.Finding food.D. Avoiding jams.How did the researchers control the traffic density

31、of the commuting ants?A.Through closer observation.B.By regulating their numbers.C.By finding out the dense points.D.By controlling the widths of their path.How can ants avoid traffic jams according to the research?A.They follow a special route.B.They make their flow steady at high density.C.They ne

33、ant skills to possess is good communication. 1 ;it means they are able to listen to others,as well as successfully convey their own ideas and opinions.While listening and speaking are important in effective communication,there are other skills that are vital to good communication in the workplace.2

34、.This means not only listening with your ears but also being able to comprehend what the person is saying.Giving co-workers your full attention when they are conveying an idea can go a long way in building relationships and furthering progress.Having empathy （同情）is very useful in communication. 3 .P

35、ut yourself in the other person s position instead of judging or criticizing based on your own beliefs.While this may be difficult for some,empathizing with others can be very helpful in keeping in tune with your own emotions and ideas.Encouraging others will heighten confidence and appreciation in

36、the workplace. 4 ,you help others feel they are wanted,welcomed and respected by co-workers.People are much more likely to spare no effort if they know they are valued.Body language can greatly impact how others treat you in the workplace.Being extroverted （夕卜向的） and friendly lets co-workers know yo
