Salty water just below the surface of Mars could hold enough oxygen to support the kind of microbial （微生物的） life that existed and developed quickly on Earth billions of years ago， researchers reported on Monday.
In some locations， the amount of oxygen available could even keep alive a primitive， multicellular （多细胞的） animal such as a sponge （海绵动物）， they reported in the journal Nature Geosciences. "We discovered that brines-water with high concentrations of salt - on Mars can contain enough oxygen for microbes to breathe，" said lead author Vlada Stamenkovic， a theoretical physicist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. "This fully revolutionizes our understanding of the potential for life on Mars， today and in the past. "
Up to now， it had been assumed that the trace （微量） amounts of oxygen on the Red Planet were insufficient to sustain even microbial life. "We never thought that oxygen could play a role for life on Mars due to its rarity in the atmosphere， about 0.14 percent，" Stamenkovic said. By comparison， the life-giving gas makes up 21 percent of the air we breathe.
On Earth， aerobic-that is， oxygen breathing -life-forms evolved （净化） together with photosynthesis （光合作用）， which converts CO2 into O2. The gas played a critical role in the existence of complex life， known after the so-called Great Oxygenation Event some 2.35 billion years ago.
But our planet also holds microbes -at the bottom of the ocean， in boiling hot springs -that live in environments lack of oxygen. "That's why -whenever we thought of life on Mars -we studied the potential for anaerobic （无氧的）life，" Stamenkovic said.
1.The underlined word "insufficient" in Para. 3 means " ______ ".
A.enough B.not enough
C.wrong D.right
2.Vlada Stamenkovic may agree that ______ .
A.this research changes people's understanding of the potential for life on Mars
B.the life-giving gas makes up 31 percent of the air people breathe on earth
C.Great Oxygenation Event happened some 2.35 million years ago
D.earth holds microbial life at the bottom of the desert
3.The main idea of the passage is ______ .
A.Mars is fit for living
B.multicellular animals are living on Mars
C.oxygen plays a role for life on earth
D.Mars is likely to have enough oxygen to support life
Several years ago, the Woburn Safari Park in England admitted to killing many monkeys. The park said that it cost too much to continue to feed the monkeys, so the animals were shot and left to die. This is just one of the many cases in which animals are mistreated and murdered by humans.
Animals should be able to live life in natural environments without any negative influences by humans. The first reason zoos should be banned is that tyrannizing and murder are becoming more and more popular in zoos worldwide. In 2007, the IDA(In Defense of Animals) came out with a top ten list of the worst places for an elephant to go. All ten of the American zoos have had elephants die there, because of mistreatment, such as improper diet, lack of exercise, and unsuitable living conditions.
Another example of mistreatment in zoos is illegal products made from animals. A tiger bone wine, banned in 1993, has been sold on the Chinese black market for several years now. Illegal trades like this are very easy because of the zoos. The third reason zoos should be illegal is that they can give visitors the wrong idea about animals. Animals will behave differently in the wild from how they will in a closed area. So, if someone came across an animal in the wild, they may think it is safe to approach the animal when it is not. People could easily get hurt.
Humans are animals too. What if animals got smart and decided to capture humans and put them in zoos? So in order to keep the circle of life and continue to have animals be a part of the world, humans must take basic steps to maintain the delicate balance between man and beast.
1.Why did the Woburn Safari Park kill many monkeys？
A.Because they got seriously ill. B.Because it took much money to keep them.
C.Because they behaved badly. D.Because they couldn't get on well with people.
2.The underlined word “tyrannizing” in Para. 2 means ______.
A.abuse B.kindness
C.influences D.cases
3.The passage is mainly developed by ______ .
A.following the order of time B.making comparison
C.analyzing the reasons D.providing statistics
4.What will be most probably talked about next？
A.What if animals decided to capture humans. B.How to protect animals effectively.
C.More example of mistreatment. D.How to create natural environments.
