“Life Form Found" on Saturn ' s Titan
Scientists say they have discovered hints of alien life on the Saturn'5 moon.The discovery of a sort of
life was announced after researchers at the US space agency,NASA,analyzed data from spacecraft Cassini,
which pointed to the existence of methane-based form of life on Saturn's biggest moon.
Scientists have reportedly discovered clues showing primitive alien beings are"breathing"in Titan's
dense atmosphere filled with hydrogen.
They argue that hydrogen gets absorbed before hitting Titan's planet-like surface covered with methane
lakes and rivers.This,they say,points to the existence of some"bugs"consuming the hydrogen at the surface
of the moon less than half the size of the Earth.
"We suggested hydrogen consumption because it's the obvious gas for life to consume on Titan,similar
to the way we consume oxygen on Earth,"says NASA scientist Chris McKay."If these signs do turn out to be
a sign of life,it would be doubly exciting because it would represent a second form of life independent from
water-based life on Earth."
To date,scientists have not yet detected this form of life anywhere,though there are liquid-water-based
microorganisms on Earth that grow well on methane or produce it as a waste product. On Titan,where
temperatures are around minus 17 Kelvin(minus 290 degrees Farenheit),a methane-based organism would
have to use a substance that is liquid as its medium for living processes,but not water itself. Water is frozen
solid on Titan'5 surface and much too cold to support life as we know it.
Scientists had expected the Sun'5 interactions with chemicals in the atmosphere to produce a coating of
acetylene on Titan'5 surface.But Cassini detected no acetylene on the surface.
The absence of detectable acetylene on the Titan's surface can very well have a non-biological explana-
tion,said Mark Allen,a principal investigator of the NASA Titan team.
"Scientific conservatism suggests that a biological explanation should be the last choice after all non-
biological explanations are addressed,"Allen said."We have a lot of work to do to rule out possible non-bio-
logical explanations.It is more likely that a chemical process,without biology,can explain these results."Which of the following can replace the title of this passage?
A:Different Life Form,a Possibility.
B:Earthlike Living Beings Found on Titan.
C:Finding of One More Moon of Saturn.
D:Titan,a New Satellite Discovered.答案：A解析：由文章第一段第二句话中“The discovery of...which pointed to the existence of methane- based form of life on Saturn' s biggest moon.”可知，科学家们的证据显示，土星的这个最大的卫 星上有甲烷基的生命形态存在，故选B。
由文章第二、三段的内容可知，科学家们发现有线索显示“土卫六”上原始的外星生物 在由氢气环绕的稠密大气层中“呼吸”，也就是说这个卫星上有氢气的消耗现象。故选D。
由文章前五段的内容可知，科学家在文章开头提出“土卫六”上可能有甲烷基的生命形 态，即methane-based life，接下来的内容给出了科学家们对此说法的一系列证据来进行论证，故 选C。
由文章的最后两段中Mark Allen的话，尤其是文章最后一句“It is more likely that a chemical process ,without biology , can explain these results.”可知，科学家们认为应该用化学过程 来解释为什么“土卫六”表面没有乙炔，故选B。
由文章内容可知，科学家们提出了土星的这个最大的行星上可能有一种不依赖于水的 生命形态，并从各方面进行了证明，故选A。第5部分：补全短文 -

问答题◆Topic 7: Living Alone Questions for Reference: 1. More and more people are living by themselves today. Explain the reason. 2. What’s the advantages and disadvantages of living alone? 3. Which is the best way to have a happy life according to your understanding?正确答案： 【参考答案】
You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed silence you hear -or echoing emptiness?
Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn’t have to.
When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone’ s noise or meet anyone’ s dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up their kitchen.
But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what they did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.
During the course of a lifetime, one may sometimes live with others and sometimes live alone.
Each way of life has its advantages. Learning to take advantage of them is one key to contentment.解析： 暂无解析 -

第20题：
问答题Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in as few words as possible (not more than 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage. If you were on a distant planet, and if you had instruments that could tell you the composition of Earth’s atmosphere, how would you know there was life on this planet?Water in the atmosphere would suggest there could be water on the surface, and as we all know water is considered crucial to life. But water would only suggest that life is possible. It wouldn’t prove it’s there. Carbon? That basic component of “life as we know it?” Not necessarily. A diamond is pure carbon, and it may be pretty, but it isn’t alive. What really sets Earth apart is nitrogen, which makes up 80 percent of the planet’s atmosphere. And it’s there only because there is abundant life on Earth, say scientists at the University of Southern California The report grew out of a class discussion two years ago in a course taught by Capone and Kenneth Nealson, professor of earth sciences. Students were asked to come up with different ideas about searching for life on other planets. What is a distinct “signature,” as Capone puts it, that would show there is life on another planet? That’s a question that has been kicked around in many quarters in recent decades, especially since all efforts to find some form of life, no matter whether on Mars or in the distant reaches of space, have failed. At least so far. The current effort to search for some evidence of life on Mars focuses primarily on the search for water, because it has long been believed that water, or at least some fluid, is necessary for the chemical processes that lead life to take place. But that’s probably the wrong approach, the USC group argues. “It’s hard to imagine life without water, but it’s easy to imagine water without life,” says Nealson, who was on the Mars team before moving to USC. But nitrogen would be a much clearer signature of life. Only about 2 percent to 3 percent of the Martian atmosphere is nitrogen. That’s just a trace, and it probably means there is no life on Mars today, and if there was in the past, it probably ended many, many years ago. But, the USC team adds quickly, that doesn’t mean there’s no life anywhere else in the universe. They don’t know where, of course, but they may have found a way to narrow down the search. Look first for nitrogen, then look for biological activity that should be there. So if life exists elsewhere, and is similar to life as we know it, there should be nitrogen, and that’s what we should be looking for first, the researchers say. If they don’t find nitrogen on Mars, Capone says, “that will probably bring us to the conclusion that there likely never was life on Mars.” But how about elsewhere? Could this technique be used to search for life in other solar systems? Maybe. It might be possible to detect a nitrogen-rich atmosphere around a planet orbiting another star, but not yet. Current instruments aren’t that sensitive. If they ever are, the search for life might be narrowed down to the most promising prospects, chiefly because of the presence of nitrogen. And won’t that be fun! Questions: 1．What can suggest life is possible but cannot be proved according to the author? 2．What is a clear “signature” of life on another planet according to Capone? 3．What is considered as a wrong way to search for evidence of life on Mars? 4．What can probably prove there is no life on Mars today based on the new theory? 5．Why is it impossible to use the new technique to search for life in other solar systems now?正确答案：
1.Water. 根据文中第二段,水只能表明生命存在的可能性,但不能证实。
2.Nitrogen. / The presence of nitrogen. 文中第九段第一句话很明确地告诉我们nitrogen would be a much clearer signature of life。
3.The search for water. 第七段最后一句话指出,在火星上通过搜索水来搜索生命的存在是不正确的。
4.The small amount (2% to 3%) of nitrogen in the Martian atmosphere . 文中第九段中提到火星上氮的含量很少可以表明目前火星上没有生命的存在。
5.Because current instruments aren’t very sensitive. 文中第十四段指出,由于现在的设备还不是那么敏感,所以不能够用来在太阳系的其他星球上探测生命。解析： 暂无解析 -

第23题：
单选题One Class Surveyor got onboard of a 45000 DWT new construction Chemical Tanker a week before delivery， he carried out the initial Safety Equipment survey in accordance with the Fire Fighting and Life-saving Control Plan.Surveyor noted that the vessel had two (2) 15 persons’ Life-rafts at each side， and One (1) 6 persons’ Life-raft on the forward main deck. The surveyor verified the Life-rafts’ certificate and found that the max storing height of one 15 person’s Life-raft at port side to be 18 meters as indicated on its certificate. But the surveyor checked the drawings and noted that actual storing position was 18.5 meters above the Lightweight water line of this vessel.Surveyor recommended shipyard to change the Life-raft or re-locate the life-raft in order to comply with the stowing height requirement as indicated on its certificate. Do you think the Surveyor’s recommendation is correct？（）AThe surveyor’s comment was not correct； because the Life-raft has the Hydra-Static Releaser， should not care the height of Storing Position
BThe surveyor’s comment was correct； because if the Storing height was over the Limit of the Life-raft， It may damage the Life-raft when throwing off to the water
CThe surveyor’s comment was not correct； the storing position was the same location as showing on the approved drawings
DThe surveyor’s comment was correct； as a surveyor， he can give any comment as he like
