Passage one.

　　南极考察队对于V湖冰面下生物的探索

　　While some scientists explore the surface of antarctica, others are learning more about a giant body of water four kilometres beneath the ice pack.

　　Scientists first discovered lake Voss dock in the 19 seventy's by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in lake Vohs dog remain liquid beneath an ice sheet? The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing, says Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than 2 million years.

　　Anything found there will be totally alien to what's on the surface of the earth to see a good scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination. Again, robots might be the solution. If all goes as planned, a drill shaped robot will through the surface eyes. When it reaches the lake, it will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures, and look for signs of life. The scientists hope their discoveries will shed light on life in outer space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.

　　Recently, close up pictures of jupiter, as moon europa shows signs of water beneath its icy surface. Once tested in antarctica, robots could be sent to europa to search for life there too.

　　Questions 9 to 11. Based on the passage you have just heard.

　　Question 9. What did scientists first use to discover lake V stock in the 1970s?

　　Question 10. What do scientists think about lake vast dock?

　　Question 11. What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?

三、答案：

9、答案A
解析:短文开头部分提到,在20世纪70年代,科学家们通过可以穿透冰层的无线电波首次发 现了沃斯托克湖。故选项 A 正确
10、答案B
解析:短文中提到,科学家们怀疑在沃斯托克湖中有微生物存活,这些微生物可与外界隔绝长 达两百多万年的时间。故选项 B正确。
11、答案D
解析:短文结尾处提到,科学家们希望他们的发现能够为外太空存在生命提供线索,它们可能 存在于类似的黑暗和真空环境中。故选项 D正确。

【翻译】

当一些科学家探索南极洲的表面时，另一些科学家正在对冰盖下4公里处的巨大水体进行更多的了解。

20世纪70年代，科学家们通过穿透冰层的无线电波首次发现了沃斯托克湖。

从那时起，他们就一直在利用声波甚至卫星来绘制这片巨大的水域。

沃斯托克湖的水在冰原下是如何保持液态的?

威尔士大学的冰川学家马丁·斯哥特说：“上面厚厚的冰川就像保温层，可以防止水结冰。”

此外，来自地球深处的地热也可能会让这个隐藏的湖变暖。

科学家们怀疑微生物可能生活在与外界隔绝了200多万年的沃斯托克湖中。

“在那里发现的任何东西都将与地球表面的东西完全不同”，斯哥特说。

科学家正试图寻找一种方法，在不造成污染的情况下，在冰中钻取水样。

又一次，解决方法可能是机器人。如果一切按计划进行，一个钻形机器人将穿过表面冰层。

当它到达湖里时，会释放另一个机器人，这个机器人可以在湖里游泳、拍照，寻找生命的迹象。

科学家们希望他们的发现将为外太空的生命提供线索，外太空的生命可能也存在于类似的黑暗和无空气环境中。

最近，木星的卫星木卫二的特写照片显示，在其冰冷的表面下有水的迹象。

一旦在南极洲通过测试，机器人就可以被送往木卫二去寻找那里的生命。

9.20世纪70年代，科学家第一次使用什么发现的沃斯托克湖？

10.关于沃斯托克湖，科学家有什么看法？

11.科学家们希望自己的发现起到什么作用？
