Without a nose, how could we breathe 22 smell? And does any part of a persons face give it more of its 23 character than nose, large or small? Clearly the nose has a major part 24 mans imagination and then the expression “to hold up ones nose” shows one of mans basic feelings - 25 . On the other hand, a person who thinks he is better than others will “26 his nose”. Then we have a number of expressions that show mans 27 . One is “to be led by the nose”, letting others 28 him. Other expressions show mans 29 , as in a good newspaper reporter who “has a nose for news” or a good leader who “has a nose for trouble”.

This expression is 31 to describe someone who has been turned away or another. For example, 32 someone is not invited to a 33 , or when a child feels refused when a 34 baby is brought into the 35 , their noses have been put out of joint, 36 usually for only a short time.There are a few other expressions 37 on the human nose: “to keep ones nose to the grinding stone(磨石)”, to work very hard without looking up, to work long hours to reach an aim; “to take a nose dive”, to fail, to fall 38 an uncontrolled plane; “to count noses”, to 39 a list of your supporters; and “on the nose”, exactly 40 on time.21.

These cameras are the most powerful photographic equipment ever to be trained on the Red Planet in NASAs search for water and life.The black-and-white photos, taken by three cameras show deep channels and surface pieces.The resolution of the test images is parable to those taken by the less powerful cameras of three other orbiters now circling Mars. NASA scientists will use the images to adjust the cameras, and will later bine the images to create a broader view and to add color.The spacecraft, which reached orbit on March 10, is to map about 1 percent of the Martian surface which may be used for future landings by robotic probes and human astronauts. Over the next seven months, the orbiter will dip into Mars atmosphere and gradually change its orbit into a near-circle about 185 miles above the planets surface. In this lower orbit, scientists can see surface objects as small as 1 meter wide.“Now we have an idea that water is probably rich on Mars in the form of ice,” McEwen, a mission scientist of planetary science, said. “its not a matter of finding water on Mars any longer but of learning its importance in climate change. and clearly it has been important in shaping the landscape.”The orbiters first task is to find landing sites for the Phoenix Mars Lander, which is set to arrive on Mars in May xx, and for the xx arrival of the Mars Science Laboratory. This laboratory is a larger version of the twin robotic geologists Spirit and Opportunity, which have been exploring the planets surface since xx.44. How many orbiters are circling around Mars at the moment?A. Three. B. Five. C. Six. D. Four.45. What will the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter NOT do in the future?A. To lower its orbit.B.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter sends back first images.D. New discoveries from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.(C)If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But theyre not really stars. They re man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes.The ISS is the biggest satellite and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Labs, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for futurew space exploration. “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the Earth. It can help us make life on the Earth better,” said Kathyn Clark ,an ISS scientist.Sixteen countries are part of the program: The US ,Russia, Canada ,Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isnt an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In xx, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.( ) 48. The International Space Station_.
