Aidan McManus’ trubles began at the age f 17, when he was in his final year f high schl. At first, he lst feeling in his feet. He went t the hspital, where dctrs gave him sme medicine, but that didn’t help his cnditin at all. Things nly gt wrse frm there, as the simple act f walking felt like stepping n sharp nails, and he was diagnsed(诊断)with a pst-viral irritable bwel syndrme(IBS), which cmplicated his cnditin even mre. Despite his failing health, Aidan managed t graduate frm high schl, but then he began experiencing a strange feeling in his hands as well.

Dctrs have been trying t decipher Aidan’s cnditin fr years; they have run dzens f tests, but they culdn’t cme up with an answer. Eventually, a dctr cnfirmed the 22-year-ld had a generalized nerve disrder. Unfrtunately, Australia’ s Natinal Disability Insurance Agency rejected Aidan’ s request fr supprt, claiming that he hadn’t “examined all pssible treatment ptins”. Hwever, his dctr clarified that he was suffering frm a prgressive neurlgical cnditin, fr which there is n knwn treatment. “I think yu shuld recnsider yur decisin as he has an incurable disability that will cntinue t wrsen,” the dctr’s letter t the agency read.

Data btained frm China’s Zhurng rver (探测器) indicate that the cean — knwn as Deuternilus — wuld have existed rughly 3.5 t 4 billin years ag, a time when Mars had a thicker atmsphere and warmer climate. Accrding t scientists, hidden underneath the red planet is evidence that there were nce sandy beaches and a sizeable cean n it.
The rver, which perated frm May 2021 t May 2022, travelled abut 1.9 km n the planet, and detected materials with prperties similar t sand arund 10 m — 35 m belw the surface. The sand-like material all slped (倾斜) in the same directin and at an angle, similar t beaches n Earth, and spanned abut 1.5 km, researchers said. These Earth-like features led researchers t investigate whether they were truly frmed by ancient waves.
The study, published in the jurnal Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences n Mnday, said these beaches wuld have been the result f lng-term impacts f waves and tides, similar t hw such frces shaped Earth’s landscapes. The discvery culd be crucial in finding ut if Mars’s surface supprted living rganisms. “Shrelines are great lcatins t lk fr evidence f past life,” c-authr f the study, Michael Manga f the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, said. “It’s thught that the earliest life n Earth began at lcatins like this, near the interface f air and shallw water.”
T cnfirm this hypthesis, the team systematically ruled ut alternative explanatins. Accrding t Benjamin Cardenas, fellw c-authr and Penn State gescientist, researchers were able t rule ut that the structures detected by the rver were ancient rivers r sand dunes (沙丘). “Beaches simply fit the bservatins best,” he said. “Dunes tend t cme in grups, and these grups prduce characteristic patterns nt present in these depsits (沉积物)… We als cnsidered ancient rivers, but we rejected that thery fr similar reasns based n the patterns we saw in the depsits.”
8．What did the Zhurng rver’s data reveal abut Mars?
A．Its surface was nce cvered with sand.
B．It witnessed ups and dwns in life frms.
C．It had a large cean billins f years ag.
D．Its atmsphere experienced significant changes.
9．What can be inferred abut Martian beaches?
A．They slped at varied angles.
B．They were fund n the surface f Mars.
C．They must have held rich rganisms at a certain perid.
D．They might have experienced similar prcesses t thse n Earth.
10．What des the underlined wrd “hypthesis” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A．Discvery.B．Assumptin.C．Apprach.D．Principle.
11．What’s the researchers’ attitude twards the “ancient rivers” explanatin?
A．Negative.B．Supprtive.C．Tlerant.D．Mixed.

Agrivltaics (农业光伏) is the practice f using the same land fr farming and prducing slar energy. This practice ften invlves placing slar panels (太阳能板) ver farmland. The wrd “agrivltaics” is a cmbinatin f “agriculture” and “phtvltaics”. Agriculture refers t farming while phtvltaics describes technlgy that makes electricity frm sunlight. Slar panels are ne example.
Slar farms use slar panels t create clean energy. But these farms take up a lt f land. Farms that grw crps and raise livestck, such as sheep and cws, ccupy a lt f land as well. Agrivltaics saves space by allwing farmers t get electricity and fd frm the same land.
Research has shwn that adding slar panels t farms can actually help crps. Leafy crps, such as lettuces and sme herbs, grw well in the shade f the slar panels. The plants can als benefit frm the increased sil misture (水分) in partially shaded grund. Agrivltaics may benefit livestck, t. Fr example, farmers might allw sheep t eat grass under slar panels. This wuld give them relief frm the ht sun in the summer.
Other agrivltaics prjects fcus n appealing t pllinatrs (传粉昆虫). Fr example, planting wildflwers under slar panels can attract butterflies, bees and ther insects. These tiny helpers can then pllinate nearby crps.
N single agrivltaics technique wrks everywhere. Squash (a kind f vegetable), fr example, generally need direct sunlight. S they dn’t grw well under slar panels. Even lwer light crps may have truble grwing well in agrivltaics setups. Fr example, the shade frm slar panels helps keep the sil misture. On sme farms, this cmes as a benefit. But it may als increase the risk f sme plant diseases. And water puring ff the panels during a rainstrm may verwater sme plants.
Researchers tday are explring hw t minimize these and ther challenges. They are als finding ways t help farmers imprve the harvest f their crps t the greatest degree and prduce as much electricity as pssible frm the same land.
12．What is a functin f agrivltaics?
A．Sparing enugh land t feed livestck.
B．Reducing the cst f slar energy prductin.
C．Imprving traditinal farming methds with slar panels.
D．Maximizing land use fr bth farming and energy prductin.
13．What des paragraph 3 fcus n?
A．The benefits f agrivltaics fr crps and animals.
B．The challenges f grwing crps under slar panels.
C．The types f crps that grw best under slar panels.
D．The cmparisns between traditinal farming and agrivltaics.
14．Why are squash mentined in the text?
A．T explain that agrivltaics has limitatins.
B．T display that plants shuld have enugh sunlight.
C．T emphasize the rle f sil misture in crp selectin.
D．T shw that agrivltaics is beneficial t vegetable grwth.
15．What are researchers currently ding regarding agrivltaics?
A．They are building slar panels that take up less space.
B．They are imprving crps suitable t grw under slar panels.
C．They are trying t maximize the prductin f crps and energy.
D．They are teaching farmers hw t make prper use f slar panels.
