A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water. The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth. “If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the study’s lead author. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 “The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water. “The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said. Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth. On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water. “An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp said. 1. A new study indicates that on the moon. A. there is plenty of water B. water is unlikely to exist C. water existed in the past D. there is a little water now 2. The author would like to tell us through the sixth paragraph. A. why there is no water on the Moon B. how the Moon was formed C. when the Earth struck the Moon D. where the Moon orbited 3. What does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph? A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon. B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon. C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon. D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study. B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth. C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water. D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. There are enough water on the Earth. B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface. C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen. D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts. 【参考答案】1—4、BBCBC 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2014 高考英语二模试题】 Mobile Phone Manners Mobile phones have changed the way we communicate；they have also brought about problems in phone manners．Gaik Lira, a Singapore-based advice has some advice on phone manners． When dealing with missed calls，the person being．called should return the call.“Calls should be returned as soon as possible, and no later than the following day.
