According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an (inhospitable) planet, more similar to Earth's Moon than to Earth itself - a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world Mars' air pressure is equal to Earth's at an altitude of 100,000 feet The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide

Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun's lethal radiation Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space Even at the equator, the temperature drops

to -50C (-60F) at night Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on

the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost

Despite the difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars into a more Earth-like planet Nuclear reactors may be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere This in turn could create a

("greenhouse effect") that would stop heat from (radiating) back into space Liquid water could be thawed to form a polar ocean Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could

be introduced to build up the level of oxyzen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies "This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant," said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at NASA "But now it's starting to look practical We could begin work

in four or five decades."

The idea of "terra-forming" Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction But as researchers develop a (more profound) understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions

on Mars Don't plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering 1: What does the passage mainly discuss?

B Daytime temperature are dangerously high

C The sun's rays are deadly

B the cause of low temperatures on Mars

C caused by the introduction of green plants

D a possible means of warming Mars

It is said that George Washington was one of the first to realize how important the

uilding of c n ls would e to the n tion s development n f ct, efore he ec me the President, he headed the first company in the United States to build a canal, which was to connect the Ohio and Potomac rivers It was never completed, but it showed the nation the (feasibility) of canals As the country expanded westward, settlers in western New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio needed a means to ship goods Canals linking natural waterways seemed to supply an effective method

In 1791, engineers commissioned by the state of New York investigated the possibility of

a canal between Albany on the Hudson River and Buffalo on Lake Eric to link the Great Lakes area with the Atlantic seacoast It would avoid the mountains that served as a barrier to canals from the Delaware and Potomac rivers

The first attempt to dig the canal, to be called the Eric Canal, was made by private

companies but only a (comparatively) small portion was built before the project was halted for lack of funds The cost of the prospect was an estimated $5 million, an

enormous amount for those days There was some on-again-off-again federal funding, but this time the War of 1812 put an end to construction In 1817, DeWitt Clinton was

elected Governor of New York and persuaded the state to finance and build the canal It was completed in 1825, costing $2 million more than expected

The canal rapidly lived up to its sponsors f ith, quickly p ying for itself through (tolls)

It was far more economical than any other form of transportation at the time (It)

permitted trade between the Great Lake region and the East coast, robbing the Mississippi River of much of its traffic It allowed New York to supplant Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern cities as the chief center of both domestic and foreign commerce Cities spr ng up long the c n l t lso contri uted in num er of w ys to the orth s victory over the South in the Civil War

An expansion of the canal was planned in 1849 Increased traffic would undoubtedly have warranted its construction had it not been for the railroads

Question 1: Why does the author most likely mention George Washington in the first paragraph?

A He was President at the time the Eric Canal was built

B He was involved in pioneering efforts to build canals

C He successfully opened the first canal in the United States

D He commissioned engineers to study the possibility of building the Eric Canal

Question 2: The word “fe si ility” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A profitability

B difficulty
