Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observations.
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.
Scientists estimate that the oceanis 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.
While scientists have speculated (推测) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede — the largest moon in our solar system — until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.
This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.
Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well.
1.What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage?
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth.
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.
2.Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble?
A．Cautious. B．Doubtful.
C．Negative. D．Favourable.
3.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa.
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.
D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa.
4.What type of writing does this passage belong to?
A．A term essay.
B．A news report.
C．An experiment report.
D．An exploration review.

Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conersation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion (宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.
1.The author considers politics and religion______.
A．cheerful topics B．taboos
C．rude topics D．too serious
2.We typically talk about______in a friendly way in most places according to the author.
A．sports B．children
C．personal feelings D．families

A．They don't want to talk with others much.
B．They don't want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.
C．They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.

Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, Italy on March 6,1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up. His mother died when he was only six years old. Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life. Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.
At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was not only a painter but also an artist. Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico. Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. During the next few years, Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.
In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome. A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called the Pieta. It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.
Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didn't think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.
1.What can we learn about Michelangelo as a young child?
A．He lived a very hard life.
B．He showed great interest in art.
