For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.American research

43、ers say they have invented a method that could use salty water on Mars to produce oxygen and fuel, 21 would both be important elements to support future human exploration activities on the Red Planet.Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, developed the new method. They created a

44、machine called an electrolyzer. It can separate salty water into oxygen and hydrogen gases.The team described the process in a study recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Scientists have already collected solid evidence _22 the planet likely holds a large supp

45、ly today. But Mars is extremely cold. So, most of the water _23 (think) to exist in the form of ice.The research team notes that any water that is not frozen is almost surely full of salt from the Martian soil. The usual methods for breaking water down into oxygen require the salt _24_ (remove) firs

46、t. This process can be complex, costly and harmful to the environment. The new method they invented can take salty water directly and convert it into oxygen and hydrogen.The team carried out experiments with high levels of magnesium salts, which scientists believe likely _25 (exist) on Mars. The res

47、earchers also carried out the tests _26 temperatures similar to the Red Planets atmosphere.The U.S. space agency NASA has also experimented with technology to produce oxygen on Mars. One device designed to do this will be tested as part of NASAs Perseverance mission. Perseverance is a new explorer v

49、postdoctoral researcher at Washington University and a lead writer of the study. _30_ such use could be in defense industries,he added, “the method could create oxygen on demand for submarines. It may also be able to provide oxygen for researchers exploring new environments in the deep sea.”Section B Vocabulary
