For the past four years, Allen has spent his summers driving an old ice cream truck named “Bessie”, handing out free ice creams to children and grown-ups.

They hope that astronauts will be able to start growing their own food on the red planet. The journey to Mars could take up to two-and-a-half years. The astronauts will need to take a lot of food with them just to last for the journey. They will never be able to return to Earth, which means they will need to grow their own fruit, vegetables and other plants from seeds. NASA said there could be a problem because Mars doesnt have soil that is good for growing things, which just has red dust.Humans may be on their way to Mars in the next 15 years. NASA has been testing special “Martian gardens” to see what kind of things might grow on Mars. They have used a special soil made up of crushed volcanic rock because it contains no nutrients or organic material, which it is similar to the soil on Mars. The scientists managed to grow lettuce(莴苣) in it. They said the lettuce tasted normal, but it had weaker roots and took longer to grow. They will now try growing other vegetables. A NASA spokesman said, “Discoveries made in these Earth-based Martian gardens will pave the way for future studies and technology development in terms of reliable, efficient food production a long way from Earth.”In 2015, NASA astronauts on the Interactional Space Station ate space-grown lettuce for the first time. The lettuce took 33 days to grow on the space station and was part of NASA efforts to provide future astronauts with a sustainable food supplement during long space voyage.28. It is more difficult to grow plants on Mars because .A.there is no sunlightB. there is no fresh airC.there is no fresh waterD. there is no suitable soil29. From the text, we can know the soil on Mars .A. contains no nutrients B. is full of organic materialC. is similar to that on the earthD. is made of crushed volcanic rock30. What can we know from what the NASA spokesman said?A. It is not practical to grow plants on Mars.B. The test on “Martian gardens” is a failure in a way. C. In the near future, vegetables may be grown on Mars.D. Much more studies are needed to grow plants on Mars.31. What happened to the lettuce in the experiment?A.It tasted normal.B. It grew normally.C. It grew more slowly.D. It dies from weaker roots.DWeChat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 percent year on year to 500 million at the end of last year, in a sign that parent pany Tencent is extending its reach for the mobile Internet. As one of the largest Internet integrated service providers in China and one of the most Internet users in China, Tencents profit grew 24 percent to RMB 20.98 billion per year, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming profits. It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencents profits but the apps growth is a strong indicator of the panys long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices. “We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such as online security and mobile payments.” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement. WeChat is the second highest ranked social app in China, behind QQ, Tencents another chatting app, which claimed to have 815 million registered monthly users at the end of 2014. Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could influence the users experience. But this is expected to change. Some analysts anticipated(预期) that advertising would be introduced on a large scale later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users feedbacks in January, many users who were not targeted by the brands marketing plained of “discrimination” by Tencents data mining algorithm(数据挖掘算法). They claimed it unfairly treated them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the BMW ad. 32. What is the main driving force of the Tencents ine growth?A.QQ. B. WeChat. C. Online gaming. D. Advertisements.33. What can we learn from the passage?A. WeChat is ranked behind QQ in China.B. Tencent wants to earn more through QQ.C. WeChat contributed most to Tencents profits.D. More advertising would not be introduced later this year.34. How did some users feel when a BMW ad was introduced?A. Uninterested. B. Untouched. C. Unhappy. D. Unlucky.35.
