外刊精选｜全球央行掀起“淘金热”，狂买黄金为哪般？
中国人历来有“盛世藏古董，乱世买黄金”的说法。面对2023年世界局势的不确定性，许多国家的央行都在增加对黄金的购买，创下了前所未有的购买纪录。其中，中国的表现最为亮眼。截止到10月末，中国央行黄金储备连续12个月增加，达到7120万盎司（约2214.57吨），环比9月增加了74万盎司（约23.02吨）。为什么多国都在增加黄金储备？为何中国普通民众也掀起“购金热”？
China leads record central bank gold buying in first nine months of year
China has spearheaded record levels of central bank purchases of gold globally in the first nine months of the year. Central banks have bought 800 tonnes in the first nine months of the year, up 14 per cent year-on-year, according to a report by the World Gold Council, an industry group.
Surging consumer prices and depreciating currencies in many markets has triggered a rush to gold as a store of value, while the yellow metal has also historically been held when global inflation rises.
The rush to gold by central banks is also driven by countries' desire to weaken their dependence on the US dollar as a reserve currency, after Washington weaponised the greenback in its sanctions against Russia.
China has stood out as the largest purchaser of gold this year as part of an 11-month buying streak. The People's Bank of China has reported snapping up 181 tonnes this year, taking gold holdings to 4 per cent of its reserves.
In August, BMO analysts wrote that its analysis suggested that privately owned gold holdings and those under the central bank in China "are significantly higher than annual consumer demand and official purchases might suggest".
Chinese central bank gold buying, along with a weak renminbi, vapid local stock market and troubled real estate sector, has also encouraged the country's consumers to rush towards purchasing bullion to store their wealth.

In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view.
New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “sky glow”-the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowd-sourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker.
Light pollution has harmful effects on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures.
Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments.
Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow us seen from the ground.
“The increase in sky glow over the past decade underlines the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies,” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.”
1.What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean
A.separated. B.disabled. C.demanded. D.protected.
2.What does the loss of visible stars lead to
A.Poorer human health. B.Fewer wildlife species.
C.More delicate biological systems. D.Less nightly culture elements of the sky.
3.What does the author stress in paragraph 5
A.Crowd sourced data are invaluable B.Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect.
C.Satellites play a vital role. D.White LEDs are widely used.
4.What can be inferred from Walker’s words
A.Their consistent efforts pay off. B.The dataset needs to be updated.
C.The sky glow has been over-emphasized. D.More participants are expected to join in.

今年前九个月全球央行黄金购买量创纪录，中国央行居首位
今年前九个月，全球央行黄金购买量创下纪录，中国央行位居首位。根据黄金行业组织“世界黄金协会”（World Gold Council）的一份报告，各国央行在今年前九个月中累计购入黄金800吨，较去年同期增长14%。
在许多市场，物价飙升和货币贬值触发了购买黄金作为保值工具的热潮。而纵观历史，每当全球通胀上升时，人们便会倾向于持有黄金。
各国央行争相购买黄金的驱动因素还在于：由于美国对俄罗斯实施制裁时将美元武器化，各国希望减少对美元这一储备货币的依赖。
中国已连续11个月增持黄金，并在这一过程中成为今年最大的黄金买家。中国人民银行报告称，今年已购买181吨黄金，使黄金储备占到总储备的4%。
今年8月，加拿大蒙特利尔银行（Bank of Montreal，简称BMO）的分析师在报告中写道：其分析表明，在中国，私人黄金持有量以及央行的黄金储备“远高于年度消费需求和官方购买数据所显示的数量”。
中国央行购买黄金的力度，加之人民币疲软、国内股市低迷和房地产行业陷入困境，也促使中国消费者竞相购买黄金以储藏财富。
