New data from NASA's Curiosity rover indicate Mars Crater once held an enormous lake. This discovery suggests that the red planet may have been much wetter than scientists thought and raises the possibility that the planet was once habitable.
“The size of the lake and the length of time and series that water was showing up implies that there may have been sufficient time for life to develop.” NASA's Mars Exploration Program scientist Dr. Michael Meyer told Reuters.
Curiosity collected the new data on its five-mile drive to Mount Sharp, the prime destination on its mission to study Mars' climate and geography. The rover landed in Gale Crater in August 2012.
After reaching Mount Sharp in September, the rover spent two months studying rocks at the base of the three-mile-high mountain, discovering fine layers of mudstone--which tend to collect at the bottom of lakes. This shows how a mountain inside a Mars' Gale Crater might have formed.
"If our assumption for Mount Sharp holds up, it challenges the idea that warm and wet conditions were passing, local, or only underground on Mars,” Dr. Ashwin Vasavada said in a written statement. “A more radical explanation is that Mars' ancient, thicker atmosphere raised temperatures above freezing globally, but so far we don't know how the atmosphere did that."
Vasavada said curiosity will continue to study changes in the rock formation as it climbs Mount Sharp in the next few months, which should test the team's hypothesis..
"We'll also look at the chemistry of the rocks to see if the water that was once present would've been of the kind that could support microbial life, if it ever was present," he said in a video released by NASA. "With only 30 vertical feet of the mountain behind us, we're sure there's a lot more to discover."
33. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. How scientists explored Mars.
B. The ways Curiosity used to explore Mount Sharp.
C. Some data about Gale Crater.
D. The discovery of Curiosity rover on Mars.
34. The discovery of the lake proves that _____.
A. early Mars was ripe and ready for life
B. the climate on early Mars was hot
C. life once existed on Mars
D. humans can live on Mars
35. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A science fiction.
B. A science report.
C. A news report on solar system
D. An official announcement.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s such a common event that you probably never asked yourself why you sleep. ___36___. In fact, for sleep researchers, it’s one of the biggest unanswered questions in the field.
Stop and think about it for a second. Why should we sleep? ___37___ . But we sleep every night, even when we have had plenty of rest. There are, no doubt, several different answers to this question, but let’s just consider one general purpose of sleep: ___38___. Human beings are creatures that are normally active during daylight hours, when our senses functions most effectively. ___39___. We can’t see objects well, our color vision is entirely lost, and we don’t have the smelling or hearing sharpness of other animals. So it actually does make sense to have us stay where we are during the dangerous period when night-waking animals are walking here and there. And one sure way to make sure we don’t fall down everywhere and get lost or eaten is to have us not move for seven or eight hours, rising again only when the light is back and our survival chances are better.
It’s not the only reason we sleep. ___40___. Perhaps even the most important one.
A. Is it because we get tired?
B. Should that put human beings in a terrible situation?
C. But from a scientific point of view, this is far from an ordinary matter.
D. But in terms of evolution, it may have been one of the first reasons.
E. Furthermore, if you were designing an animal, would you have it come into long periods of unconsciousness every twenty-four hours?
F. Sleep as a survival approach.
G. At night, humans do rather poorly.
