28、 to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome arange of technological and safety obstacles.One of them is the serious risk posed by particleradiation from the sun,distant stars and galaxies.Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that difficulty:Would particle

29、 radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the redplanet?And,could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraftfrom the radiation?In a new article published in the journal Space Weather,an international team of spacescientists,incl

30、uding researchers from UCLA,answers those two questions with a“no”and a“yes”.That is,humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars,provided that thespacecraft has sufficient shielding and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years.And the timing of a human mission to Mars woul

31、d indeed make a difference:The scientistsdetermined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at itspeak,because,during this period,the most dangerous and energetic particles from distantgalaxies are deflected（偏转）by the enhanced solar activity.A trip of that leng

32、th would be imaginable.The average flight to Mars takes about ninemonths,so depending on the timing of launch and available fuel,it is reasonable that a humanmission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years,according to YuriShprits,a UCLA research geophysicist and coauthor o

33、f the paper.“This study shows that while space radiation impose strict limitations on how heavy thespacecraft can be and the time of launch,and it presents technological difficulties for humanmissions to Mars,such a mission is possible,”said Shprits,who also is head of space physicsand space weather

37、 recorded on Earth:-89.2.But last Friday,Vostok set anotherrecord,this time for its warmest March temperature ever:-18,15 warmer than average.Other areas in Antarctica were even hotter.A nearby weather station was 37 higher thanaverage.Some places here were expected to be as much as 50 warmer than n

38、ormal.Scientists said,“At this time of year,Antarctica is losing 25 minutes of daylight every day,and should be getting colder instead of warmer.”But an“atmospheric river”of warm,wet air hitAntarctica last Tuesday.This kind of weather pattern isnt that unusual.But once it got toAntarctica,it was blo

39、cked from leaving by a high pressure system called a“pressure dome”.Scientists say its too early to say if this event was caused by climate change.But they saytheyre watching carefully to see if this is a one-time event or part of a new pattern.On the other hand,winter is just now ending at the Nort

40、h Pole,which means the sun hasntbeen shining there for about six months.But that hasnt stopped the Arctic from having a heatwave.Temperatures in the Arctic are about 14 higher than normal.Some areas have seentemperatures as much as 28 above average.Scientists are paying great attention to theweather

41、 here.In fact,the Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the rest of the planet,and warming events seem increasingly common in recent years.There are concerns that thispattern will continue and that the melting of ice here will increase.Scientists explained,this time,the very specific caus

42、e for the Arctic heat wave:a“bombcyclone”,a storm that gathers great strength very quickly.This one formed over the east coast ofNorth America,and headed north.The pressure inside this storm system fell sharply,pulling anatmospheric river of wet warm air toward the North Pole.32.What has Vostok Stat

43、ion done lately?A.It has moved to the coldest place in the world.B.It has teamed up with a nearby weather station.C.Its monitored an extremely abnormal temperature.D.Its finished the temperature records forAntarctica.33.What have scientists changed concerning the temperatures in Antarctica?A.Their e

44、xpectations about its climate system.B.Their impression of the Antarctic seasons.C.Their ideas of forming a pressure dome.D.Their attitude toward climate change.34.Why are scientists watching the weather in the Arctic closely?A.Its winter ends earlier than usual.B.Warming events occur more frequentl

45、y.C.The melting of ice is more serious this year.D.The temperature is higher than that in Antarctica.35.What did scientists think of theArctic heat wave this time?A.Controllable.B.Predictable.C.Adaptable.D.Understandable.第第二二节节 七七选选五五（共共 5 小小题题；每每小小题题 2.5 分分，满满分分 12.5 分分）阅阅读读下下面面短短文文，从从短短文文后后的的选选项项中
