A new study suggests that dark markings n the planet Mars represent sand — nt water. The research in 2015 suggested that lines n sme Martian hills were evidence f water. Yet American scientists nw say these lines appear mre like dry flws f sand. If water is present, it is likely t be a small amunt. Water in liquid frm wuld be necessary fr micrbial (微生物的) life.
NASA, the American space agency, said mre research is needed. Michael Meyer is the lead scientist fr NASA’s Mars explratin prgramme. He nted that the latest study des nt reject the presence f water. But he admitted, “It just may nt be as exciting as the idea f rivers ging dwn the sides f cliffs (悬崖).”
The new findings cme frm a team led by Clin Dundas f the United States Gelgical Survey. His team measured 151 f these lines in 10 areas. Mst f the lines end with slpes (倾斜) between 28 degrees and 35 degrees. These measurements are similar t active sand dunes (沙丘) n bth Mars and Earth. A small cvering f dust that mves and smetimes becmes lighter might help explain the markings. They usually appear in the Martian summertime, and then disappear until the next year. If these lines are dry, this suggests that recent Mars bas nt had large amunts f liquid water. Dundas and his research team say that many questins remain.
“I still think that Mars has great ptential fr having had life early n in its histry,” Meyer said. “As lng as that’s true, we als have a reasnable pssibility f life still being n Mars. It just happens t be cryptic r well hidden.”
NASA currently has n rbtic — either n Mars r in develpment — with the ability t climb steep slpes. The lack f such equipment has engineers cming up with ideas like Martian helicpters r planes withut pilts.
32. What d American scientists find n Mars nw accrding t their study?
A. A lt f little life.B. An amunt f water.
C. Sme Martian hills.D. Dark markings are sand.
33. When d the markings cme ut?
A. In Martian spring.B. In Martian summer.
C. In Martian autumn.D. In Martian winter.
34. What’s Meyer’s pinin abut having life n Mars?
A. Dubtful.B. Trustful.
C. UncncernedD. Objective.
35. What des the underlined wrd “cryptic” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Undiscvered.B. Strange.
C. Magical.D. Icy.
