　　Passage 1

　　Once there was a young girl named Eliza. She was the daughter of a king and so she never had to work. She became very lazy. She had her servants do everything for her.

　　"I am so very thirsty, and my glass is on the table. Please get it for me." she called. Immediately a servant picked the glass up from the table next to Eliza and held it up to her lips until Eliza was no longer thirsty.

　　The next day, Eliza was walking to dinner when her hat fell off. She called for a servant and a young man ran over, picked up the hat, dusted it off, and placed it back on Eliza's head.

　　She continually called for her servants to do simple tasks for her. Her father noticed her laziness and decided to punish her. He set her in a room with only a loom and some yarn. No servants were allowed in the room.

　　"You will stay in this room, not eating or drinking until you have woven a blanket for me. You have to do all of the work by yourself. Call for me when you are done". The king left Eliza all alone in her room.

　　Eliza called for her servants, but none appeared. Then she remembered her father telling her about Athena, the goddess of wisdom and handicrafts. She called for Athena over and over until finally, she fell asleep. While she was sleeping, she had a dream. Hermes spoke to her in her dream. He said "Athena has heard your pleas for help. She is very angry with you. She will come to you and inform you of your punishment". Eliza awoke very frightened. She then saw that there was an owl on the edge of her window. The owl spoke to her.

　　"I am Athena. You have called upon me to do your work. You must be punished for your laziness. You are a mortal of high importance, therefore you have no work to do. I am going to make you a lowly animal. You will have to work constantly just to stay alive. People will look down at you in disgust. You will be killed just because you are insignificant. All of your children and their children and so on will have the same fate".

　　Passage 2

　　NASA scientists said the examination revealed as many questions as answers. "We have now a number of hypotheses(假设)about what's going on in the Martian soil," said Steve Squyres, principal investigator from Connell University, describing the soil analysis that the rover conducted on Monday.

　　The six-wheeled robot turned its attention Tuesday to the large, sharply angled rock scientists have dubbed "Adirondack." Results of that testing were expected on Wednesday. The Spirit rover is being used to examine its surroundings in the Gusey Crater as scientists search for evidence that the planet's surface once had liquid water.

　　"We don't know that this soil came from the Gusey Crater. The stuff could have come from somewhere else. It's going to be very interesting. To dig some holes and see if it looks the same deeper down", Squyres said. One instrument told scientists the soil contained a mixture of materials that included a mineral called olivine.

　　Scientists were surprised to find olivine, which is usually associated with volcanic eruptions, said Squyres. Mission members now believe the soil could be a layer of finely ground lava, he said.

　　"That would be a surprise to me," he said. "I think we're going to learn wonderful things by using the wheels to scrape and push" the soil away to see what's underneath. Another tool detected the elements iron, argon, sulfur, chlorine, nickel and zinc in the soil, said Johannes Brueckner of Germany's Max Planck Institute for Chemistry.

　　Most of the minerals had been noted during previous Mars expeditions, but this is the first time scientists have detected nickel and zincs, he said. Spirit extended its robotic arm Tuesday and placed a drilling tool against the surface of the "Adirondack" rock to test the drill's position, said Jennifer Trosper, mission manager for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

　　Mission members were still deciding whether to use the tool to drill into the rock to see if its inner composition matches readings they were collecting from its exterior using other instruments. Scientists believe the rock is made of a volcanic rock called basalt. "You can think of it as a time capsule that contains a history of its formation," said Dave Des Marais of NASA's Ames Research Center.

　　Trosper said the rover was doing remarkably well and was transmitting an "incredible amount of data. It's like we got an Internet upgrade overnight." Spirit's twin, Opportunity, is due to land Saturday on Meridiani Planum, which lies halfway around the planet from Spirit's Jan. 3 landing site in Gusev Crater.

　　37. When NASA scientists said the examination revealed as many questions as answers, they probably imply ______________.

　　A. the examination revealed many questions as well as many answers

　　B. the examination has already provided ready answers to all the many questions

　　C. that while the examination revealed the questions scientists would find answers to them

　　D. corresponding hypotheses were posed to the questions the rover's analysis revealed

　　38. The main idea of Paragraph Three can best be ____________.

　　A. the examination has not only found soil from the Gusey Crater or from somewhere else, but also has determined its content

　　B. it's very interesting to dig some holes and see what is inside

　　C. NASA scientists now feel sure that the soil contained a mixture of materials with olivine inside

　　D. NASA scientists are not sure if the soil tine instrument examined came from the Gusey Crater or came from somewhere else

　　39. The verb phrase "have dubbed" is best used to mean ___________

　　A. have doubted B. have named
