8、homemade instruments a quarter of a century ago, Didier Queloz spent months doubting the data that led him to an inescapable conclusion: Hed just discovered the first planet outside Earths solar system(太阳系). The Swiss scientist had spent much of his PhD research refining techniques to detect so-call

9、ed exoplanets(系外行星), which until one night in October 1995 had previously only existed in the world of science fiction(科幻小说).Queloz and his advisor Michel Mayor, who were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for their pioneering work in October 2019, had already overcome a number of obstacles(障碍) in

10、their search. Theyd carefully constructed their own equipment at the Haute-Provence Observatory at the foot of the French Alps.The planet theyd discovered, known as 51 Pegasi b, was too big. “The planet that we found was extremely strange and its not at all the way you would have expected a planet t

11、o be,” Queloz said. “I remember many discussions Id had with Mayor and trying to prove that it was not a planet but in the end we always circled back and said that thats the only explanation.” The exoplanet was roughly the size of Jupiter, yet was more than 20 times closer to its star than Earth is

12、to the Sun. Sara Seager, planetary scientist and astrophysicist at mat, who was a graduate student at Harvard when Queloz and Mayor made their discovery, thought of a huge public argument at the time. She said, “People resisted it, and rightly so in science you couldnt see the planet, you didnt have

13、 a photo of one, you were just seeing the star, the effect on the star, so people wanted to put that effect(down) to something else.”Queloz said the teams discovery took time to be recognized because before the research exoplanets were strange within the astronomy community. Today, thanks to their p

14、ioneering work, there are more than 4,000 known exoplanets and billions of stars thought to be orbited by them. 21. What was Quelozs contribution to astronomy? A.He invented astronomical instruments. B.He was a pioneer in exploring exoplanets. C.He was the first to find the stars near Jupiter. D.He

15、collected valuable data about the solar system. 22. What can we learn from Quelozs words in Paragraph 4? A.He was unsatisfied with the finding. B.He disagreed with Mayor on the finding. C.He firmly believed the finding all the time. D.He proved the finding by careful reasoning. 23. What do the under

16、lined words “resisted it” in Paragraph 6 mean? A.Tried to tolerate it. B.Refused to accept it. C.Asked about it curiously. D.Considered it very important. BIt can already be difficult to say a scientific word like “deoxyribonucleotide(脱氧核糖核苷酸)” let alone spell it out in sign language but thats why t

17、his young student is being praised for inventing new ways for deaf scientists to communicate. Liam Mcmulkin, who was born deaf, went to the University of Dundee, Scotland, to study life sciences in 2015. Like most first - year students, Mcmulkin was worried about not being able to keep up a college

18、workload. Since he was the only deaf student at the university, he also feared that he would have trouble keeping up with the course lectures. Though there are some British Sign Language(BSL) translations of scientific vocabularies, they become fairly limited for college-level communication. As Mcmu

19、lkin continued studying at university, he became more and more frustrated by how his translator would be forced to spell out long complex(复杂的) words. “Watching the interpreters(译员) for a one-hour lecture is very tiring,” Mcmulkin said. “There are a lot of new words and scientific words are often ver

20、y long. Sometimes the interpreter would be finger spelling for ages and I had to watch it. We would make up new signs which meant it was easier next time, but it also meant I had to learn new signs, which was very tiring.”After some painful days, Mcmulkin finally resolved to develop a whole new set

21、of BSL words for himself and future life sciences students. To date, he has created over 100 new signs for scientific words that have been officially recognized in formal BSL, which is used by about 87,000 people across the UK.“Liams effort to create new signs is very important to the future of the

22、life sciences,” said Dr. Marios Stavridis, Principal Investigator at the School of Life Sciences. “If you imagine having to finger spell highly technical terms while sitting in a lecture or having a quick conversation with a colleague(同事), you can appreciate how difficult it has been for Liam. With

23、these signs, Liam and other deaf students will be able to access science on a whole other level.”24. What was Liam worried about when he first arrived at university? A.He would be laughed at by others. B.He couldnt two well in his studies. C.He had chosen a wrong main subject. D.He wouldnt have inte

24、rpreters to help him. 25. What made Liam feel tired during the lectures? A.The interpreters too fast finger spelling. B.The interpreters inability to create new signs. C.The interpreters failure to use signs correctly. D.The interpreters limited signs for scientific words. 26. What does Dr. Marios S

25、tavridis think of Liams invention? A.It needs testing among deaf students. B.It will do good to deaf students studies. C.It will encourage other similar creations. D.It sets a good example to college teachers. CThe divisive campaign likens obesity(肥胖) to smoking. Cancer Research UKs latest campaign

26、is at the centre of an online discussion about fat shaming. The campaign sees the word “obesity” appear on the front of cigarette packets in place of brand names and health warnings. In a blog post, Cancer Research UK explains the thinking behind the divisive ads by showing that obese people outnumb

27、er smokers two to one, and that heavy weight causes more cases of certain cancers than smoking. “The campaign compared smoking with obesity to show how policy(政策) change can help people form healthier habits, not to compare tobacco with food,” the charity says. But despite Cancer Research UKs reason

28、ing, the campaign has quickly brought a strong public reaction. Web developer Ken Lynch described the campaign as a “new low” in a widely shared post on Twitter. This sweet has led to a series of back-and-forth replies, where people either voice their dislike of the campaign or defend it. A common i

29、dea running through the response(回复) is that Cancer Research UK is fat shaming obese people. The discussion cent res on the confusion around who Cancer Research UK is aiming its campaign at. In a sweet, user Ann coated says that the ads will cause “nothing but harm” to obese people. But the charity

30、insists that it isnt changing the ads. Instead, it wants to use them to go after the government in order to bring about a policy change that will halve childhood obesity rats by 2030, and place restrictions on ads for junk food on TV and online. In the blog post, Cancer Research UKs prevention exper

31、t Linda B auld added: “There isnt a silver bullet to reduce obesity, but the big fall in smoking over the years partly thanks to advertising and environmental bans shows that government-led change works. It was needed to cut sky-high smoking races, and now the same is true for obesity.”27. What was

32、Cancer Research UKs original idea behind its campaign? A.To warn obese people not to smoke. B.To use “obesity” as a cigarette name. C.To show obesity is more serious than smoking. D.To start a discussion about obesity and smoking. 28. What was most peoples attitude to Cancer Research UKs campaign? A

33、.They doubted it.B.They supported it. C.They were against it. D.They cared little about it. 29. What does the “policy change” in the text refer to? A.Cutting obesity rats. B.Respecting obese children. C.Producing more healthy food. D.Reducing the production of cigarettes. 30. What does Linda Bauld m

34、ainly talk about in the last paragraph? A.The governments decision to reduce obesity. B.The similarity between obesity and smoking. C.The governments experience in cutting smoking races.

35、bodys worst nightmare(噩梦). Youre traveling abroad, and youve lost something important. Maybe its your wallet or your passport? Maybe its scour $10,000 ring? What should you do? Fear not. If you lost it in Japan, at least, you have a pretty good chance of getting it back. According to the BBC, 83% of

36、 cellphones lost in the city of Tokyo finally found their way back into the pockets of their frightful owners last year. 31 thats all because Japan has an amazing lost-and-found system. In Japan there are about 6,300 “koban”, small police stations that are usually within walking distance. 32 In 2018

37、, over 4.1 million lost items worth about 3 billion yen were returned to police through the koban. 33 The Amended Lost Property Act provides for both carrots and sticks to encourage the return of lost items. The 2007 law offers a reward(奖励) of 5-20% of a lost items value. And the stick? These return

38、s are required by law, and those who dont return the lost items will be punished. Japanese officials believe the power of the system has much to do with Japanese civic culture 34 Their behavior is reinforced by police and schoolteachers alike. Former police officer Toshinari Nishioka explained what

39、happens when a child turns in a lost item: “Even if its only one or five yen, the officer will take it seriously and tell him: You did a great job.
