Thirteen-year-old Carl Sagan is standing outside a small house in the eastern city of Brooklyn, New York. It is dark. He is looking up

37、at the sky. After a few minutes, he finds the spot for which he has been searching. It is a light red color in the night sky. Carl is looking at the planet Mars. Carl has just finished reading a book by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs called A Princess of Mars, in which the man who travels to M

38、ars can make the trip by looking at the planet for several minutes. He then is transported there by a strange force. Carl Sagan stands watching the red planet. After a while, young Carl realizes this will not happen. He turns to enter his home. But in his mind he says, "Some day it will be poss

39、ible to travel to Mars." It should be no surprise to learn that Carl Sagan studied the stars and planets when he grew older. He did this at the University of Chicago. Later he taught astronomy(天文学) at Harvard University and Cornell University. In the 1950s, Mr. Sagan helped design mechanical de

40、vices for use on some of the first space flights. He spent much of his life helping make space travel possible far out in the universe. He died in December, 1996. However, much of the work he did during his life helped make it possible for the American Pathfinder vehicle to land on Mars. It landed o

41、n July 4, 1997. It soon began sending back to Earth lots of information and thousands of pictures about the red planet.

45、lly do their experiments using machines, biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats. But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselvesall in the name of science, reported The Telegraph. Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner i

46、n 1956) Forssmann was a German scientist. He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery. Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. But it was not permitted because the experiment was

47、considered too dangerous. Not giving up, Forssmann decided to experiment on himself. He anesthetized(麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 centimeters into his vein(静脉). He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart. Barry Marshall (Nob

48、el prize winner in 2005) Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid. But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria(细菌) called Helicobacter pylo

49、ri. So he teamed up with his colleague, Barry Marshall, to continue the study. When their request to experiment on patients was denied, Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each morninghe indeed had gastritis. Ralph Steinman (Nobel

50、prize winner in 2011) This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell. He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer. Steinman knew he couldn't yet use his method to treat patients. So in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer a

51、nd that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity. With the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies(疗法). Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and

52、a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.105. The passage is mainly about  .A. some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners did on themselvesB. difficulties that scientists went through in order to make important discoveriesC. the reasons why some scientists chose to expe

53、riment on themselvesD. three Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves106. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. Forssmann's experiment ended in failure.B. Forssmann managed to do his experiment on different kinds of animals.C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinkin

54、g some Helicobacter pylori.D. Barry Marshall's experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors' belief about gastritis was correct.107. From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman  .A. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cellB. tried different therapies co

55、ntaining the dendritic cell on himselfC. knew that he himself would have cancer and die from itD. believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancerC Critics of cloning often repeat the question related to the controversial(有争议的) science “Just because we can, does it mean we should?” The closer we co
