Astronauts who are expected to go there in the next ten years may find plenty of water to get their thirst away. If there is water, it will be much more possible to find life on Mars. This is the view

20、 of 40 geologists who have been analysing(分析) thousands of pictures and other scientific information gained by robot explores(探测仪) in the 1960s and 1970s. At first scientists thought the red planet was as lifeless as the moon with dust storms blowing over the large sandy deserts. But now the picture

21、 is very different with mountains and valleys cut by glaciers(冰川) and rivers running deep underground. In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr. Michael Car of the US says, “I believe there is lots of water on Mars.” Water will be in the form of ice. But it could save explores from hav

22、ing to take water with them. The report says that Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages past, because of its axis(轴线) having been more titled(倾斜) towards the sun. No convincing signs of plant or animal life have been found by instruments soft landed on Mars although only nearby area of landing

23、instruments could be examined.59. It was once believed that . A. Mars was a dry old planet B. Mars was a warm old planet C. Mars was an icy old planet D. Mars was full of water60.

25、rms on Mars C. Mars has large sandy deserts D. Mars has a colder climateB Astronauts have already visited the Moon and lived on space stations. Theyve never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. Astronauts will spend about six months getting to the planet, then about two years on t

26、he planet and about six months travelling back to the Earth. Theyll be away from the Earth for about three years, so theyll need much food. Its very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120 000 dollars to carry something that weighs(重) one kilo(千克). So an apple on Mars could cost 20 000

27、 dollars! Of course, they will need to take much food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food cant stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy. At the moment, astronauts in space stations eat dried food. Its very lig

28、ht, so it doesnt cost much money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like carrots and lettuce(生菜). Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. Theyll use these machines to change b

29、eans(豆) into food that tastes like meat or cheese. They probably wont eat real meat or cheese because it wont be possible to keep animals in space.63.
