Ⅳ.阅读理解
“Broom(扫帚) challenge” has become a hot topic on the Internet recently. The challenge is to make a broom stand on its own without any support. Many people shared videos and photos of brooms standing. Even some famous stars, such as Canelo Alvarez, Jason Derulo, Tory Lanez and DJ Khaled took part in the challenge.
People in the challenge said that according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)(美国国家航空航天局), the Earth’s rotation(旋转) would be “in perfect balance” on February 10 and it would be possible for a broom to balance standing up.
In fact, brooms standing on a special day is just a hoax. We can’t find anything from NASA to support the challenge. But as with many things on the Internet, people ran with it. But the truth is, you can make a broom stand up today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after that. It has nothing to do with the Earth’s gravitational pull(引力) on a certain day. It also has nothing to do with the vernal equinox(春分) (another day of the year when this “magic” supposedly happens).
NASA astronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble replied to the challenge, saying that this is a basic physics problem and will work every day of the year, not just on February 10. Brooms can stand up on their own if balanced properly on the bristles(刷毛).

Ⅳ.世界各国网友的朋友圈或许都被一个名为“扫帚挑战”的游戏刷屏了。这个风靡全球的游戏源于一张图片——“NASA说因为2月10日地球完美的重力角度,这是唯一一天可以让扫把独立站立的日子”。其实这只是一个恶作剧。
13.B 段落大意题。根据第一段中许多人分享关于扫帚站立的视频和照片以及许多明星参与这个游戏,可推断出许多人对扫帚挑战感兴趣。
14.B 由第二段中的“…the Earth's rotation would be ‘in perfect balance’ on February 10 and it would be possible for a broom to balance standing up.”可知,起初人们认为扫帚能站立是因为地球自转产生的完美平衡力。
15.C 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“…you can make a broom stand up today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after that.”可知,任何一天都可以使扫帚站立。
16.C 根据文章最后一段最后一句“Brooms can stand up on their own if balanced properly on the bristles.”可知,扫帚站立与平衡相关。
17.B 主旨大意题。综合全文判断,这篇文章主要介绍了关于扫帚站立的一个恶作剧。
