D 　　（2025·湖北秋季高一联考）The Perseverance rover （探测器） has discovered signs of water on the Martian surface， appearing as dark lines that change with the seasons.Scientists tend to think that these lines are caused by short-lived flows of salty water during Mars’ warmer months when temperatures rise above the freezing point. 　　Water， necessary for life， is found wherever life exists on our planet.That there may be water on Mars， even in small amounts， raises the possibility that the planet may have supported life forms in the past or could possibly host some form of life today.This latest discovery is a major step in our journey to understand Mars and its potential （可能性） to host life. 　　The Perseverance rover is equipped with a set of scientific tools that are helping scientists in examining the Martian environment.Its top task is to search for signs of ancient life forms and to collect samples of rock and soil， which could be returned to Earth in future tasks for further study.By looking closely at the dirt and rock samples， scientists are hoping to find the basic pieces that make up life， which could give us clues about whether Mars was ever a good place for life to develop. 　　The search for water on Mars is not just about finding water； it’s about finding our place in the universe.Each discovery made by the Perseverance rover announces our innovation （创新） and our endless searching.As we stand on the edge of these discoveries， the universe seems a little less vast and more familiar.The search for water on Mars is， in fact， a search for signs of life and a reflection of our own existence among the stars. 　　As the Perseverance rover continues its exploration， we can look forward to more findings that will bring us closer to answering the age-old question： Are we alone in the universe？ 12.What possibly causes the dark lines on the Martian surface？（　　） A.The freezing point.
