A
A quasar (类星体) is an extremely bright object with a super-massive (超大质量的) black hole. About a million quasars have been known to humans. Quasar J0529-4351 is one of them, with 12 billion light years from the earth.
We have been able to see Quasar J0529-4351 since 1980. But it was so bright that people mistook it for a foreground star (前景恒星). In 2023, scientists finally identified (确认) it as a quasar as well as the brightest object in the universe (宇宙), 500 trillion (万亿) times brighter than the sun. In 2024, a study on the quasar came out in Nature Astronomy (《自然·天文学》). It was done by Australian scientist Christian Wolf and his team.
According to the recent study, Quasar J0529-4351 has a huge “stomach”. Like other quasars, it keeps taking in gas and dust in the space. In fact, it has the largest accretion disk (吸积盘) in the universe. It “eats” about as much as the sun’s mass (质量) every day, which makes it grow very fast. And we shouldn’t be surprised at how bright it is, because the brightness has much to do with how much it “eats”.
However, Quasar J0529-4351 is not the largest object. TON 618, found in 1957, is one of the largest black holes. It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun inside, while Quasar J0529-4351 is about 19 billion times larger than the sun.
Scientist have already learned that a black hole is formed when a star collapses (坍塌) on itself. And it grows by taking in other objects, including other black holes. But they still don’t know how super-massive black holes come into being. Scientists hope that studying quasars like this one will help them understand more about super-massive black holes. They also believe that there are probably more unusual quasars out there, waiting to be discovered.
21.When did scientists identify Quasar J0529-4351
A.In 1957. B.In 1980. C.In 2023. D.In 2024.
22.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Quasar J0529-4351. B.The foreground star. C.The study. D.Nature Astronomy.
23.Which of the following is TRUE about Quasar J0529-4351
A.It is 12 billion light years from the sun. B.It is 500 trillion times brighter than the sun.
C.It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun. D.It is about 19 billion times larger than TON 618.
24.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A.When a star collapses. B.How a black hole grows.
C.Why scientists study quasars. D.What will be discovered next.
25.Which could be the best title for the text
A.A Newly Seen Quasar B.Secrets of the Universe
C.Super-massive Black Holes D.Brightest Quasar Ever Seen
B
Today is December 15, 2031. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.
The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began. Therefore, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It’s very reasonable.
Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household, so the suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip.
However, the space lines might in the future face fierce (激烈的) competition with the appearance of space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines.
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first.
26.From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2032
A.A gift card will be taken to Mars. B.Mars will be explored for the first time.
C.Man will go to Mars for the first time. D.An affordable space trip will come true.
27.The underlined word “average” means “________” in Chinese.
A.普通的 B.高收入的 C.低成本的 D.低收入的
28.What is the space elevators purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible
A.To ship cargo to space.
B.To get in the competition between space lines.
C.To start the construction of more space elevators.
D.To get back the large investment.
29.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A.Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.
B.A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.
C.The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time.
D.Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still have to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out.
30.We can know from the passage that ________.
A.the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip began
B.within two years, space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to space
C.during the suborbital flights, you will experience 30 minutes’ weightlessness
D.if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you may try a suborbital flight
C
Have you ever imagined what the house will be like in the future 31 We know for certain that nothing is impossible. One thing is for sure, that is, the house will be as green as possible.
The scientists will design a kind of house which is just like a lizard (蜥蜴). 32 The house will turn white under the bright sun so that it can be protected from strong heat. When it is on dark days, it turns dark and takes in light and heat as much as possible to produce energy.
Many architects (建筑师) in the world want to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. 33 It even can produce fresh air for the house. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses soil to control the temperature inside the house.
Perhaps houses will be built as much about the future of food production as architecture. It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. 34 Just need to walk outside and collect the vegetables and fruits every morning.
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. 35 Ancient techniques can help us to save energy in some ways. For example, we can use a chimney as an air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out the chimney.
A.So vegetables and fruits can be planted on the wall.
B.It’s also a good way to learn from the past.
C.It can change its color as the weather changes.
D.The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity.
E.Maybe it has gardens on its walls, or a fish pool under its floor.
