All I knew was that I had to replay that scene over and over again, not knowing who Beethoven was or that it was much longer and satisfying piece.My last

14、year of high school, I wasnt expected to graduate but I had the opportunity to select a music elective. It was then that I realized that classical music chose me and that I had the gift of transferring emotion through classical composition. Everything became so much clearer and for some reason highe

15、r learning other subjects, including physics, chemistry, became interesting and easy. It was as if m rain turned on and I began to appreciate everything and everyone around me.

20、esearch, first saw the amber in 2016, he was amazed. Its like a tiny arrow with a long beak（鳥喙）and big eyes. . . Only birds have such characteristics, he said.The well-preserved fossil skull has rows of nearly 100 teeth that extend all the way under its big eyes that are supported by eye bones of a

21、unique structure. The unusually high number of teeth and the unique shape of the eye make it difficult to classify the specimen（標本）.

22、s small size, the specimen, named Oculudentavis khaungraae（寬婭眼齒鳥）, has more teeth than any other fossilized bird.

DAfter traveling 203 days, covering a distance of more than 470 million kilometers, NASAs Perseverance auto

28、matic robot finished its long journey, reaching the destinationMars. The goal of Perseverance is an area called The Lake, which was chosen on the basis of the research carried out in recent years.

29、 about the size of an SUV, will have to perform a rather complex maneuver（機動）in a few minutes to slow down its run and reach the Martian surface.

30、our solar system, making a controlled landing on Mars is one of the most complicated.

The time to enter the atmosphere, descend（下降）and land is relatively short, not to mention tha

31、t the great distance from the Earth（on average 254 million kilometers）makes direct control impossible. In those “seven minutes of terror, as NASA defines them, Perseverance will have to do everything by itself with its on-board systems and without the possibility of interventions and corrections fro

32、m the control center. All of this will happen automatically and, if all goes according to the plan, Perseverance will be safe and sound on Mars at 9：55 pm（Italian time）. However, Mars is very far from us and only after 12 minutes will we know if it has all gone according to plan. Perseverance will s

33、end a signal when it begins its descent to the planet, but by the time we receive it, the rover will have finished its seven minutes of terror and will have been on the surface for five minutes. In the following hours, his instruments will send data and footage of the landing, with never before seen

34、 prospects of an arrival on the planet. 32. Why do the researchers choose The Lake as the landing field?A. It will be easier for the SUV to run on the surfaceB. It will help to explore whether there was life on Mars.C. The rover can find water resource there to power its engine. D. The Lake on Mars

35、is the nearest place to our earth. 33. What does the underlined phrase seven minutes of terror in Paragraph 3. refer to?A. The direct control. B. The landing. C. The system updating D. The NASAs report. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We will get the signal when the rover descends a

Perseverance needs 12 minutes to finish the landing. 35. What is the passage mainly about?A. The exploration of Perseverance on Mars. B. The arrival of P
