问答题P3 Martian landscape 大致内容：火星地表今年的变化给科学家带来很大的困惑。以前一个叫 G 的科学家提出地球有气候变化，比如冰川期，所以火星历史上因该也有，当时没有人能想到这点。现在科学家 M 对火星上半岛的研究：一些原先因为气候变化而形成的，由冰和灰尘构成的半岛在缩小成小岛，甚至消失。 继续说通过研究这些消失知道变化是由一些外部的能量M引起的，速度很快，估计 100 年内火星冰盖会完全融化。这也揭示了，火星冰盖含有的是二氧化碳，而不是冰。火星的风也没有以前的大，而且现在的火星气候现象无法解释火星的地表状况。 题目：是非无判断，摘要。 背景阅读：Data gathered by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft suggest that the martian climate may have changed significantly in the past, and may be changing quickly even now. According to two papers published in the Dec.7,2001, issue of Science, these changes many happen over a much shorter time scale than scientists previously thought. Images taken by the spacecraft's camera system over a the course of a full martian year showed that pits in the planet's perennial southern polar ice cap are growing dramatically. The only material that might have sublimated into gas so quickly was carbon dioxide ice, which was enlarging the pits by measurable amounts. The images confirmed a decades-old suspicion among researchers that the planet's surface ice was made of solid carbon dioxide instead of frozen water. "This is prima facie evidence of climate change," says Michael Malin, of Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, who, along with colleagues Michael Capliger and Scott Davis, is pricipal investigator for the Global Surveyor's camera system."The measurements have rather profound implications, and bring into question a number of our views about the short-term stability of the martian climate"

问答题The benefits of the social recognition of marriage for children are: (31) 1. Become a membership of a (32) 2. Have indication of who must support them and their mother. VThe benefits of the social recognition of marriage for children are: (31) 3. Become a membership of a (32) 4. Have indication of who must support them and their mother. V All societies make provisions for who may mate with whom. The benefits of the social recognition of marriage for children are obvious. It gives them an identity, membership of a socially recognized group and some indication of who must support them and their mother. Now almost all societies have marriage, but there are wide variations in marriage systems. I will give three of the important areas of variation, and some details of each area. The three areas I shall deal with are: firstly, the number of mates each marriage partner may have; secondly, the locality of the marriage (that is, where do the newly married partners set up home?); and thirdly, what arrangements there are for the transfer of wealth after the marriage. Let me deal with each of these in turn. First, how many mates? In existing human societies there are three possibilities. Most societies recognize POLYGYNY, and that''s spelt P-O-L-Y-G-Y-N-Y, POLYGYNY, or the right of a man to take more than one wife. In a few societies (not in Africa) there is POLYANDRY, and that''s spelt P-O-L-Y-A-N-D-R-Y, POLYANDRY, in which a woman is married to two or more men at the same time. Finally, especially in Europe and societies of European origin, there is MONOGAMY, and that''s spelt M-O-N-O-G-A-M-Y, MONOGAMY. Monogamy limits one man to one wife and vice-versa. The second area of variation is, as we have said, the locality of the marriage. Here there seem to be three possibilities: at the husband''s home, at the wife''s home, or in some new place. The old term for the arrangement when a wife moves to her husband''s family''s household is a PATRILOCAL marriage, and that''s spelt P-A-T-R-I-L-O-C-A-L, PATRILOCAL; a more modern term is VIRILOCAL, and we spell that V-I-R-I-L-O-C-A-L, VIRILOCAL. The opposite, when the man moves, is termed MATRILOCAL, and we spell that M-A-T-R-I-L-O-C-A-L, MATRILOCAL, or UXORILOCAL, and that''s spelt U-X-0-R-I-L-O-C-A-L, UXORILOCAL marriage. The third possibility when they set up a new household somewhere else is called NEOLOCAL marriage, and that''s spelt N-E-O-L-O-C-A-L, NEOLOCAL. The last area of variation is transfer of wealth on marriage. Here, once more, we seem to have three possibilities. Firstly we have BRIDEWEALTH, and that''s spelt B-R-I-D-E-W-E-A-L-T-H, BRIDEWEALTH. In this system wealth is transferred by the husband or his relatives to the bride''s family. This, of course, is the system familiar in Africa. We should remember that the bridewealth may take the form of the husband''s labour services to his father-in-law rather than giving cattle or money. In some other societies the opposite system prevails and the wife brings with her a portion or DOWRY, and that''s spelt D-O-W-R-Y, DOWRY, in the form of money or other wealth such as land. This was the system of, for example, traditional European societies, and is still practised in the Irish countryside. The third possibility is for the transfer of wealth to take the form of gifts to help the young couple set up the new household. This system is associated with the neolocal type of marriage. In England, these gifts are called wedding-presents. The near kin, that is, the near relatives, of both bride and groom contribute and so do friends, neighbours and workmates. The presents customarily take the form of useful household goods, such as saucepans, tea sets or blankets. The benefits of the social recognition of marriage for children are: (31) 5.
