Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede,
has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface.The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observation.
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans.But。

A（2017·浙江卷）FLORENCE, Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a c aregiver to Italian kids and elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 millio n, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants’ children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always ＂see me as a foreigner,＂an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.1. Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A. To continue to stay in Italy.B. To teach her children Italian.C. To find a better job in Italy.D. To better mix with the Italians.2. Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________.A. reduce Italy’s population quicklyB. cause conflicts among peopleC. lead to financial difficultiesD. put pressure on schools3. What do we know about Cojochru?A. She lives with her sister now in Italy.B. She enjoys learning the Italian language.C. She speaks Italian well enough for her job.D. She wishes to go back to her home country.B（2017届山西省太原市高三第三次模拟）Dear Parents:I’m delighted that you are considering the British International School for your children’s education.

As team captain Hui Ruoqi hit a powerful spike to seal it 19-25， 25-17， 25-22， 25-23 on Sunday morning in Rio, applause and cheers almost blew off the roof of Maracanazinho. China’s news program Xinwen Lianbo spent seven of 30 minutes reliving the story. This is their third Olympic gold medal the Chinese women’s volleyball team has won since the 1980s.In Rio, the Chinese women’s volleyball team was assigned to the so-called group of death and faced several strong competitors. But the team never gave up. When the team lost its Rio Olympic opener to the Netherlands on Aug 6, Lang Ping urged her players to support one another through the ups and downs. When China lost to Serbia and the United States, finishing fourth to get a narrow escape from Group B and had to face host Brazil in the quarters, Lang Ping helped her players grow from each defeat on the pressure-packed Olympic stage.Lang Ping, nicknamed “Iron Hammer”, is a national heroine as well as a legend in world sports. She made histories in coaching many clubs and national teams totop level. She resigned due to health reasons in 1998. However, when the Chinese women’s volleyball faced difficulties after the Beijing Olympics, the 52-year-old lady came back in 2013 and took the coaching position. She dug out a group of young talents including Rio 2016 MVP Zhu Ting to help seasoned players Hui Ruoqi and Xu Yunli. But more importantly, she passed on the spirit to them.Among all the Chinese sports teams, the women’s volleyball remain the most special one, whose victories fueled Chinese confidence in the 1980s and still represent the best things that sports can offer to the Chinese: perseverance, courage and unity.8.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The game against Serbia attracted more Chinese audience than Lunar New Year Gala.B. China’s Xinwen Lianbo reported the team’s victory for 30 minutes.C. The roof of Maracanazinho was blown off by the excited audience.D. The Chinese women’s volleyball team was beaten by Serbia.9.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. the team beat the Netherlands on Aug 6B. Lang resigned from a club due to health problems in 2013C.

Most academic careers start with a PhD, which involves work closely with a supervisor, or an adviser. Nonetheless it’s worth thinking about whether you’ll join a team of thousands or, on the contrary, work hard for a temporary alliance of two.Join a large team, and you might play a part in something as big as landing a science laboratory on Mars. But you’ll have to work exceptionally ha rd to make your contribution familiar to future employers.Working on your own or with a small group puts you in control and makes it easier for future employers to see your accomplishments. It’s slightly more dangerous —there’s no one to blame when thing s go wrong —but it’s an exciting way to go if you can.When I started my PhD in 2005, my supervisor set me to work with a small, informal team. I still spend about half my time working with some of the same people on rather different projects. The team brings help in the form of resources and friendly criticism.The field you choose determines whether this mode of working will be suitable. In experimental particle physics, for instance, it’s almost essential to work in a big group. Astronomy, the field in which I work, finds itself in an in-between state: historically, most work was accomplished by individuals or small groups, but that situation is changing. As telescopes become larger and more complex, they require larger groups of engineers and scientists to build them, run them and interpret their results. The Planck surveyor satellite, for instance, lists around 200 authors on its early papers.Individuals or small groups can still work on big things. Every day I take my own decisions about what I’ll do next —sometimes that’s scary, but more often it’s enormous fun. If you’re doing some research, and going ＂small＂ is an option, I’d recommend it.12.Nowadays astronomy needs more people because .A.it is a tradition from the pastB. the aim of astronomy has changedC. advanced equipment is usedD. more people are interested in it13.Which of the following is the advantage of working on your own?A.
